Avoid like plague. Worst hotel ever. Rats in the rooms, exceptionally rude manager and rickety cable car to get to the property.

Amazing gem
Amazing hotel if you want to get away from it all, first car then jeep then cable car to the valley, amazing views, rice grown on site, amazingly friendly staff lovely accommodation just a bit to open for a wersterner I would have liked some glass and some walls but I throughly enjoyed my two days there and would recommend if you want to be disconnected from the world and back in touch with nature

We were on our honeymoon and had been staying in very luxury places but we fancied something different for a couple of days which would be an experience that we would remember. To get to the resort you have to get a 4x4 ride which is very bumpy (but you are going into the jungle so what do you expect!). After about 20 mins you make it to near the bottom of the valley. We were then put into a small cable car with our luggage for the final part of the trip which took 5 minutes. This was a really nice experience. At the bottom we were greeted by the manager Tharindu who was extremely friendly and accommodating. We were shown to our accommodation which was an Eco Jungle Chalet. We were very impressed with the room as to be honest we were expecting something a bit more basic. The chalet was lovely; it had a four poster bed in the middle, a tiled bathroom and a balcony looking out onto a river. The gable end of the roof is open air so you do hear all the sounds of the jungle and there are bugs (but you are in the jungle!). Bring plenty of Deet as we were still bitten by mosquitos. All the noises of the river and the crickets you could hear from outside were quite calming and I have to say we slept amazingly well. Dinner is buffet style, vegetarian and delicious! We did not miss meat whatsoever. The rice amongst other ingredients are grown in the resort. Breakfast is simple but perfectly nice. In the morning of our first day we met at 9:30am to trek to the near

Our stay at Ella Jungle was really something else, it is an unforgettable experience in a setting that feels really wild! I was a bit disappointed that they were not running the yoga or meditation so be aware these activities are not a given, however the morning trek to the waterfall for a morning swim could be the most outstanding memory from the entire holiday. It was truly stunning.

Great resort! Loved the activities offered! The trek, the natural pool were all exciting! We also zip lined across a river. The staff at the resort are very friendly. We were quite surprised by the rooms. No fans or air conditioners because they're open rooms. We were out most of the day and it got cold at night so we did not need either of them. There are nice cafes close to Jungle Resort incase you plan to step out for a bit to enjoy other parts of Ella. I would definitely stay in Jungle Resort again.

Great concept
The idea for this hotel is great but unfortunately a lot of work still needs to be done. I am not sure how it got such a high rating but most things are not that great here. We stayed for 2 nights in supposedly the best and most expensive rooms on the ground floor but on our first night we hardly got any sleep as the floor boards above us were like a drum. We could hear everything they said upstairs and also see light through the floor boards. The next day we told them that we were leaving and they changed us to another section with no one above us. The power kept going out on us and I asked for a torch at least a dozen times but never got one. They kept saying ok ok I will get you a torch but we never got one. Some areas in this hotel including the steps to the rooms are very dangerous and definitely not a place for elderly or physically impaired guests. The staff are nice but struggled with English. The vegetarian food was easily the worst we have had in Sri Lanka. Overall not too many positives which is a shame because it could be so great and has great potential but really needs a good manager to understand what you need to make a good hotel, really lacking any class and reminds me more of a school camp.It is called a jungle resort but I think they should change it to a jungle camp.

Wild place for adventurous tourists
Had a great time though it was not very comfortable. Room right on the river was exciting but very hot. Fans would be useful. Food was great, including veg Sri Lankan food we didn’t find elsewhere and jungle trek was fantastic. Lack of alcohol should be more prominently advertised on the website
