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

We stayed here for three nights and couldn't have been happier! The main draw is the fantastic view of Ella Rock and the central location in Ella. However we were also particularly taken by the food, which was lovely. If you want, they offer a free cookery class (or rather you watch them make dinner!), which was a great way... More

We stayed at Rock View for 1 night on our way back to Columbo during which the staff here stole my iphone from our bedroom. The staff were very chatty asking us when we are leaving and what we were doing whilst in Ella. Whilst we were out walking my iphone was stolen from our locked room, everything else was... More
