We arrived around 1310 (10mins after check in time) and was informed that our room was not ready and it will be another 30 minutes until it was. We realised this was not going to get done in half an hour as nobody entered the room whilst we were waiting. As a result we ventured into the city. I asked for the price of what a late check out would be to be taken off our final payment as I believed this was more than fair but any sort of compensation was nigh on impossible to gain. Whilst the breakfast was included I wouldn’t say it was anything special. It took a fair while to get served and on our second day we didn’t receive any tea or coffee with the breakfast and it also never filled us up. The location is further out that we thought and meant if we wanted to stay out in Ella later it was harder to get tuktuk back.

The room its self was very nice and the view surrounding the property was brilliant. The staff were helpful when it came to sorting taxis to Ella City Centre. It was good that breakfast was included.

There are insects around the area, so I recommend bringing insect repellent. It’s totally understandable though, considering the guesthouse is set in the heart of nature.

From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with warm hospitality and a lovely cup of tea. The adventure of reaching the guesthouse by tuk-tuk felt like a fun ride in an amusement park due to the bumpy roads — while some may see that as a downside, I found it incredibly enjoyable and it added a unique touch to the experience. The view is absolutely breathtaking! You’re surrounded by nature — lush trees, mountains, fruit plants, and the calming sounds of birds. At night, the sky turns pitch black, making the stars shine incredibly bright — a magical and unforgettable sight. Breakfast was delicious and offered a delightful mix of different dishes, definitely worth trying!

Tuk tuk driver's don't like coming to this property. It is located on a steep hill with some dirt tracks. We had to pay more to the driver's to consider coming here - not a massive deal considering tuk tuks are generally extremely cheap.

Pearl View is in a pretty location...although most of Ella is beautiful!. The price is very attractive for budget conscious travellers. It was nice knowing we were supporting a local family by staying here.

We liked everything, but location is a bit hard to reach and a bit further away from the center, but we knew this before we booked. You have two options in Ella: stay in the village without views or stay at a hotel like this with amazing mountain views. We took a tuktuk to go the village which is easy.

The view from the hotel is stunning, staff is very friendly and they do everything for their guests. Breakfast was wonderful and delicious and we even had dinner which was a lot of food and also very delicious. Our kids had a great time too.

Beautiful place, located on a hill.,The advantage of having a room there is absolutely amazing view on all sides. And the view is worth it👍 Owners incredibly nice and helpful. The breakfasts here were excellent. I definitely recommend this place.

Pearl View was hard to find, poorly signed and the road leading up (from both directions) was something of an adventure both in regards of steepness and condition of the road especially with the poor signage making it something of a magical mystery tour. Ordered dinner at the property, for which they called for a take-away which took 2hrs to arrive by which time I'd given up!

Lovely location and the lads running the place were enthusiastic and determined to make the visit easy and enjoyable. Pearl View was out of town, therefore quiet and the views were spectacular.

Brilliant stay with a stunning view. Very good value and delicious breakfast. The family could not have been kinder. I accidentally left my bag on the train and they did everything they could to help. I will 100% be back to stay!

We booked the Deluxe Double room with balcony. The room was very big with a great view. Bathroom was large, modern and clean. Location was good, always short tuk tuk ride anywhere. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. They picked us up from the train station. Classic breakfast, nothing special but good. Expect some stairs to the upper rooms. Also a staircase gives access to the main road. (Expect stairs anywhere in Ella)

It was really far from anything. Not great option for us,as mum can't walk far or on uneven terrain. So we struggled. Nearest restaurants are a fair challenge away, many many steep steps down , again this is for us. If you are sprightly and fine and like isolation you will love it. No free or "reasonable " shuttle into town. There and back costs 2-3000lkr... which adds up. Breakfast was meh... shower was not powerful at all so showering was almost as pleasant as a sponge wash at a festival. Blankets were not washed but aired ... not great!

Amazing views, quiet location. Great family , very helpful. Comfy beds.

Really nice family run Guesthouse. Stunning location on the Mountain side. Terrific welcome, with a lovely cup of Cinnamon tea. The breakfast was fantastic and enough for 2. Beautifully cut fresh fruit and freshly squeezed juice. With pancakes, Omelette and toast. Proper set up for the day. The walk to the town, literally only took me 18 minutes and I finer walk you would be hard pressed to find. Although I wouldn't fancy it going home in the dark. Tuk tuks are abundant and drivers are all reasonable.

View is incredible. Rooms are simple, clean and similar to the pictures. Breakfast was very good and personnel is nice. Good to know: the accommodation is located on top of a hill in Ella and even with tuktuk you have to walk at least the last part of the way. Best option is to walk (~15-20min) till the city Centre when using the stairs. Reasonable fitness level advisable since the ~200 stairs are uneven and differ in height.

We didn't realise at the beginning that there is a shortcut to this place so we did some morning cardio before arriving there, but once we realised there is a shortcut, we skipped the sporty part ..;) The place is fantastic! We stayed there as a family of 7 (different rooms) and all the rooms were clean and comfortable to stay. You can wash & hang your clothes as well. The view is breathtaking and the breakfast was just an extra bonus we appreciated a lot:) thank you everyone, we are hoping to be able to return one day:)

It’s a little steep to get up the road however they are super helpful at arranging tuk tuks.

Super helpful and caring family. An extremely comfortable stay with the most stunning view. Daddy’s breakfast omelette’s were so tasty. We felt very welcome. Thank you.

Could do with a floor squeegee for bathroom floor for after showering.

What a stunning place, the views were out of this world, and the room looked brand new with large panoramic windows showing the whole vista, the bathroom facilities were excellent. The breakfast was delicious, and staff were so helpful.

The rooms are a bit noisy and the wifi is not very good.

If you're looking for accommodation that's a little out of the noisy centre of Ella, this is the place for you. The view of the mountains and deep into the valley is unique. It offers a quiet retreat and the hosts are very friendly and accommodating. We had consistently warm to hot water and wonderful sunrises. There was a brief power cut during our stay, but this was quickly rectified by power generators. The accommodation is very easy to reach by tuk-tuk and it is not suitable for walking from the centre. From the main road, a 150 metre long staircase, which is quite steep, leads up to the accommodation. A tuk-tuk to the stairs costs around 500 rupees. If you want to go directly to the accommodation by TukTuk, you will pay around 1000 rupees for the quite “adventurous” journey. Prices are slightly higher at night. The PickMe app only works to a limited extent in Ella, but you will find plenty of transport options on every corner. We had a very nice stay and are happy to recommend the accommodation to others.

The bathroom lacked hot water, and accessing the property proved challenging, requiring a tuk-tuk (though the owner helpfully arranged transport, especially considering our luggage).

We had a wonderful two-night stay (two rooms). The owner was incredibly helpful, arranging for our rooms to be next to each other. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with clean, comfy beds. The highlight was undoubtedly the stunning sunrise views of the mountains and Adam's Peak, often with a beautiful morning mist. The location was perfect—close enough to the center for convenience, yet far enough to enjoy peace and quiet after a busy day. The welcoming drinks, delicious breakfasts, and laundry service were all much appreciated. Highly recommend!

The location elevated up so high from the road could be difficult in wet weather. Fortunately when we hired a scooter we only need to go along the dirt road once and left it at the bottom of the steps up which is quicker.

The view was incredible. We had the top floor. A 5 minute walk from the road is steep but we enjoyed it but if it was raining would have been different. To get in by road is a lot longer and tricky for cars
