Reviews of Golden View Guest

the stuff was very friendly and help us to organize activity and book tickets for the train very nice view from the restaurant

The view from the hotel was stunning. The room was clean and comfortable enough. The staff, especially Jana, were very attentive and helpful. They arranged a tuktuk for us and Kavi, the driver, was just great. We had his WhatsApp number an he was available within 10 minutes to take us to Ella and back. We also had a tour of the waterfalls with him. Another tour worth mentioning was The Organic Tea Garden. The breakfast at the hotel was good.

The hotel is quite far from the centre of Ella. As mentioned in previous reviews, the road was simply horrendous. The tuktuk taking us from the station with our cases struggled to get up the steep hill. At one point, one of us had to get out and walk up that hill.

The property was amazing. Clean, comfortable, great facilities and the view was absolutely unbeatable! The staff were so kind and helpful! Shoutout to Janna and Sampat who made the stay so much easier and welcoming. The owner was also very helpful, even driving us into Ella town so we didn’t have to walk. We will definitely be staying again!

Very good.Route is very good

The view was amazing from the balcony, perfect for doing yoga in the mornings. The staff were pleasant.

The breakfast wasn’t great, not very good bread, and small omelette, and very synthetic coloured jelly for jam. The location isn’t great, you have to pay the hotel their tuk tuk service or get a tuk tuk down to the Main Street as cars cannot reach the hotel, tuk tuks will charge you a lot more because they have to go up a steep hill to get there you can opt to walk down to the road via some steep steps then call a tuk tuk, but it’s a bit troublesome all in all.

View from the room and, the staff were very helpful.

Not suitable for a family with a baby. Tuk tuk charges extra to reach this place.

Absolutely breathtaking view of the mountains from both the room and the terrace at breakfast!

NA

Beautiful view from the room and dinning area Staff was very helpful and courteous Rooms were clean with running hot water

Road to and from the hotel was very steep and dingy so be careful use a Tuk Tuk to go to the city and to come back

Amazing view, helpful, kind staff/ owner. Treated us with great care. Thanks very much!

Breakfast was nice but got repetitive over the three days. Not a worry as Ella has lots of breakfast fare!

The scenery and views are breathtaking in a very peaceful area

No real complaints

The views were breathtaking. Town is a 30 min walk down the slope. Staff were very helpful & accomodating.

Very nice view. Good breakfast.

Very bad location. Very high up the hill from ella main city. So, tuk tuk fares are also high. Apart from the location, the stay was not bad

Staff very friendly and helpful. Best view we have had in Sri Lanka so far

It would have been helpful to have known in advance that the property can only be reached by tuk tuk but staff were very helpful and came to pick us up when our car couldn’t get up the road!

The view is amazing. The owner is extremely nice and helpful. They arranged tuk-tuk on a very short notice.

The lack of aircon means that the rooms are occasionally humid.

Beautiful property on the top of the hill with fabuous views. Such lovely and accomodating staff and lovely brekfasts. This place is so serene and peaceful we loved our stay. Handy walk down steps as a shortcut down the hill. There is a restaurant and spa just 5 mins walk away at bottom of steps or else can walk or get tuktuk from here down to the town which will take 5 mins.

The view from this guesthouse was out of this world. A place to think about life, a very peaceful place!

The guesthouse is very difficult to get to- up a terrible and, at times, sandy tiny lane. Walking into town takes at least 30 minutes, down some difficult steps and not a handrail in sight- no lighting in the dark. Some tuk tuk drivers refused to take us up there.

Very friendly owner and views were amazing and great location. The room seemed damp and we were bitten by a leech in the night. I would say it was quite basic but adequate. Ella is a great place to visit with lots to do.

Simple, but nice and clean rooms. Really friendly owner, that can help with many things. The road there is a bit challenging, so make sure to warn your driver, but the view is magnificent.

The owner went out of his way to make our stay pleasant. Transport was provided to town as the road is a bit doggy. View was stunning from the breakfast verandah.
