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

We stayed at Green Hill for 3 nights and were really happy with it. We got offered a room downstairs at the new part of the guesthouse and gladly took it. Those rooms are bigger and got renovated recently. There was a four-poster bed with mosquito nets and a nice colourful bathroom with a rain shower. Everything was very clean.... More

I have to agree with the other reviews, this place costs way too much. We stay here for one night before taking the train to Kandy on a recommendation from friends we met while traveling. It's unfortunate that this place costs way too much because the room itself was new & clean - we paid 6,000LKR for ONE night, on... More

This place has a great view, some of the rooms are nice and the terrace is clean. The food tasted nice. It´s in quite a noisy spot, don´t count on sleeping after 7am, busses honking in the valley below, staff sweeping the terraces, kitchen noises. No proper sheets on the beds, 1st two nights bottom sheet was a kind of... More
