A van driver at the station suggested this guesthouse. It might not impress you at first but it is in a perfect location in Ella, a few steps above the town. The view is beautiful. We had rice and curry twice and it was delicious. The lady who owns the place is very nice and will treat you like family.... More

Some other travellers we met wanted to stay here and we were happy with their choice... We all stayed in the main house, which is an old plantation type pad with a great view of Ella Rock and a great location on the edge of the main road though raised up a hill. Our room was big with three singles... More

We stayed two nights in this strange place where you don't quite know where the entrance is and who the boss is. The staff, if they could be found, were only concerned that we eat in their restaurant, any other info was a hassle for them. The restaurant was empty both days we were there, not surprising if you look... More

I moved here because of the constant power cuts at another place (one even lasted a few hours). The power cuts were horrible but turned out to be a blessing. This had a better location as you didn't need to climb up a road thinking which guesthouse is which in the dark, since the stairway led to the base of... More

Stayed here for one night, wish we would have had time to stay for two. It is a very nice guesthouse with a great view! The staff/family is also very nice and helpful, and the curry and rice for dinner was also really good. Could have been a bit more spicy though. It is not the place you go if... More

I would not recommend Rock View Guesthouse. It was not great and it was not that clean either - considering we had a leaking toilet that was not properly fixed while we were there. I reckon there are loads of better value for money guesthouse in Ella. Sorry Rock View!

Real estate is a funny business and rock view wins for being the best spot in Ella. Beautiful view, close to the main street and perched up high away from the traffic. We stayed for 2 nights in a basic room. It was huge and there was piping hot water. Dinner is served at 7pm sharp with all the other... More

We first had a big room for 4 persons with hot shower in the main building (2.500 Rps). Then we moved to a small independent house (another one was being built on the front of it) just next to the small path behind the guesthouse, where we had a very spacious bedroom and a modern bathroom (over than 3.000 Rps?)....

Rooms are wides and clean,with a nice balcony in Adam s peak. It s one of the cleanest guest house ever sleep in Sri Lanka. Food is really worth the stay and the price. The best rice curry of the trip!! Price includes breakfast and the gorgeous dinner. Staff is very friendly
