Green Hill is a short 5 minute walk from the lovely village of Ella. Green Hill has stunning views of the Ella gap with two large balconys to relax on. Rooms are large, clean and good value. Podi (the owner) was in Colombo during our stay but rang on several occasions to check everything was alright and to see if... More

This was such a great find and I'm so glad we stayed here. Podi was so accommodating and could not have done more to make us feel welcome. He helped us organise all our excursions at a reasonable price and even got us a car to Colombo. We stayed in the upstairs room (first one on the right). It was... More

We stayed for two nights in the family room (queen size + bunk beds). Absolutely stunning views from our rooms. The room and the bathroom have been renovated recently - hence modern. All food sampled on site, cooked by Podi, was very tasty. Podi is indeed a great host and extremely kind and helpful. The kids just loved him.

There's no denying that the view from Green Hill is second to none and the family room we stayed in was of a very high standard: it was new, clean and modern, the shower was hot, the balcony was a super place to unwind with an amazing view of Ella gap (and shared with birds and monkeys!) We were, however,... More

The view is beyond perfect - you can stay on the veranda and just watch, admire, observe! Podi - the host, is so relaxed, yet helpful and leaving you feeling private and not disturbed. The food, cooked by him, was great in deed as well. Rooms are quite spacious and exactly what you need with a nice shower. No luxury,... More

I stayed for 2 nights at Green Hill and to be honest the views are literally breath taking, it really is a beautiful setting. The accommodation is reached via a track of the main road. It can only take you so far, and then there is a 50 m walk down a pathway to actually reach the accommodation. It was... More

We travelled with our 2 boys aged 8 & 11 who loved seeing some wildlife around us , we saw mongeese and monkeys (non aggressive) from the balcony. We read one or two comments about green hill being poor value but we found Ella generally to be pricier than average and for a family room this was fair value. Alternatives... More

After a bit of confusion with our booking, Podi could not have been more helpful. It is worth booking for the spectacular view and after our first night when we stayed in town it was very peaceful. do not be put off that it seems far out of town - it is just 5 minutes walk if you take the... More
