The views are spectacular and we enjoyed the view all the time we were at the accommodation. Also the host family is very sweet and makes your stay very pleasant. Breakfast was big and delicious. The room with mountain view is well worth the money.

Hosts were incredibly kind and accommodating, the rooms were perfect - I slept really well. Breakfast was delicious Wifi was decent - could sometimes support a video call. Wouldn't recommend It for working. Location is 10 minutes from town but the owners own a tuk tuk and will bring you there and back for cheap

Everything was perfect, we arrived it was raining the owner was expecting us with umbrellas and helped us down stairs , the room was big enough and comfy beds, the view from the room was amazingggg , the family owning the business is very welcoming and generous. Loved the place and everything. Considering it’s in the forest water pressure for shower was low that’s all.

We absolutely LOVED “Lush in Ella”. If you are wanting to experience peaceful oasis in Ella, this is the place. The design of this unique space hits all the marks in an off the beaten path stay. A junglalow with a view of waterfall, the jungle sounds immersed in nature. The room is private, super clean and the design of the space is just perfect 🤩 it is a 10 out of 10!!! Saman and her husband were so helpful and kind. The breakfast was awesome… we are vegan and they were very accommodating. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts! 🙏❤️
