Lovely guest house above Ella town. Large and comfortable room and bathroom with a balcony with a view over the valley. Shared kitchen open 24 hours for making hot drinks. Delicious and generous breakfast, lovely hosts , a tuk tuk service to town and a shop attached where you can buy all essentials. We really enjoyed our stay here. Highly recommended 👌

Nice place with a great view. Hosts very kind and helpful. Close to Ella's attractions. I recommend it

I stayed in the small room, travelling solo, and it was quite claustrophobic and very very basic. The 2 rooms with a balcony are very nice though. Even if you don't need something that big, go for those rooms anyway, at least you'll have the balcony,which is the best feature of the place I guess. If you don't have a vehicle, you'll have to take a tuk tuk anywhere you go, keep it in mind.

The host is very nice, and the location is very quite and secluded, if you have a vehicle.

Lahiru was a very helpful and accommodating host. He came to pick us up from the Ella train station. Location is quiet and peaceful.

Nothing for the price it was more than adequate

Location and the lady that helped

Stayed in May 2024

We were highly impressed at what Nimintha and his sister have created at New Green View. Go for the view (it is wonderful) ; go for the location (the peaceful out-of-town location and short path to the railway tracks are worthwhile) ; and go for the enthusiastic hospitality (it is certainly that). But mostly go to celebrate and support the achievements of Nimintha and his sister, two impressive young entrepreneurs, who have created New Green View in spite of significant challenges they had to overcome.

Breakfast was not good.

Rooms were clean. Staff was friendly, good atmosphere.

You can only stay in this place for 1 night. Breakfast and dinner will be prepared for you in the shared kitchen at a price that for some reason will be more expensive than in the restaurant across the street. The hostel itself was still under renovation, when we checked in the entrance to it was filled with concrete, so we had to climb over the fence to get out/into the room. We were put in a room that is unlikely to be rented out. I am attaching a photo. In general, think for yourself: the rooms correspond to the low price, and the staff is really friendly, although they try to increase the prices for additional services.

The owners are young guys and girls who were very polite and tried to help with everything.

Very friendly staff, beautiful location and amazing that there is a shared kitchen. I totally recommend this place to real travelers.

Room was available here on booking but after confirmation the owner wrote a message telling me to cancel the booking as there were no room. Without apology. We had to sort out something else late in the evening after arriving from a long train ride

All good 😊

The location and the room were amazing. Sunrise view from the rooftop with a spectacular sunset view just a short walk over to the other side. Nimantha was very helpful with my sightseeing arrangements and made sure that my stay was comfortable. Definitely recommend this place.

We had a great time in New green view. The place is perfectly located outside the city in the middle of the jungle. The view is amazing. Nimantha and his sister are great hosts. The breakfast is rich and delicious. Nimantha is also a great guide and can arrange lovely tuktuk tours at super reasonable prices. They have been very helpful during our stay, and always smiling. We recommend staying there if you go to Ella!

Great hospitality

This establishment is located in the jungle, a very beautiful view to enjoy from your room (outside the busy Ella, which is a pro). The best thing about this place is the staff, of such a welcoming and thoughtful character! Top notch service! The breakfast is also really big and tasty 😋 would definitely recommend!

Nothing. All good

I had an excellent stay at NEW GREEN VIEW as a foreign tourist. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming and efficient, making the check-in process a breeze. My room was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described online, with all the amenities I needed for a pleasant stay. There for, highly recommended ❤️

looks better on photos, disastrous bathroom(sink and toilet wasnt still, ants coming under the toilet, drain from shower diagonlly in the other corner-whole bathroom was permanently wet), room was very small and quite dirty electricity didnt work our last night, when we complained, we were told some tree had fallen on the wires, but wifi worked and neighbours had normal light(I think the whole streel would be black, if some tree was at fault), this was probably the most disapointing

great breakfast, flawless check-in, quiet place, welcome drink

customer service

Stayed in August 2024

Bathroom was infested by ants, the shower head could not stay attached to the holder and the room was not soundproof. The staff gave us the wrong bill wich kicked of 5 dramatic days of the staff sending me messages all the time about transferring them the money. When the banks finally opened on a Monday the owner said he would call the police on us if we did not pay even though paying on Monday was the plan we both agreed on. Had to do a cash deposit of 30$ to his bank account.

We liked that it was isolated from the rest of town. The staff were was friendly and gave us tips. The bedroom was nice.
