The Green Village was by far the highlight of our holiday in Shri Lanka. It has perfect location, excellent service and clean rooms. The members of staff were very nice and helpful. When we arrived to the hotel, we were wet and cold because of sudden rain that caught us on the road. The hostess brought us hot tea and snacks right away as well as a hairdryer. The included breakfast was delicious. The hosts also advised us where to refuel the scooter and when to go to the Nine-arch bridge. And of course it is hard to describe the perfect beauty of Ella Rock that you will see from your terrace. I hope that we'll come back again to this wonderful hotel!

One of the best stays we had in Sri Lanka. The lady owner is the sweetest and the BEST chef! Every morning we got spoiled with a big breakfast with fruits from her own garden and we also tried Kottu for dinner, which was the best we had. She is also very helpful and makes sure you feel right at home

Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
