Reviews of Ridge View Guest House -Ella

Perfect view

The water in the shower, constructiins

amazing view, great breakfast. close to 9 arch bridge trail and little adam peak

Door lock looked like it could be easily opened. We underestimated the effort it took to get there from main road. This is worth it for the view and the isolation you get. Not necessarily negative, just keep it in mind.

Nice clean and comfy rooms, and our rooms had a stunning view of Ella Peak the other side of the valley. Very good breakfast

The hotel is rooms only - no other facilities, So should cost less. The rooms are currently next to a building site which may have been the restaurant area/bar. There is a lot of building in Ella at the moment in anticipation of future tourism.

The location and view were amazing.

It was unfortunate that they are in the middle of building works, once this has been completed, the venue should be much improved. The owner was also open to more suggestions which hopefully will also enhance a visitors experience. Both this guest house and the surrounding buildings are undergoing renovation. The whole of Ella is developing fast, with building works all over, I hope they keep the charm of the village, as the location is amazing for its natural beauty and beautiful people.

The host was so friendly and welcoming and the room (delux double) was absolutely beautiful. The views are magnificent as were the delicious breakfasts! We saw so many birds and other wildlife from our terrace. With a quick no more than 10 minute walk into Ella it was perfectly situated! The host also helped to organise a trip to Udawalawe national park much cheaper than other places!

Nothing

The view was amazing. The host Sameer was very helpful and nice. Clean rooms, all amenities were available.

This is a great little guest house! Amazing views and a very comfortable bed. I slept very well! It was an easy 10 minute walk to the main road in Ella, and took me 25 minutes to walk to 9 Arches Bridge! But walking back to Ella train station took me 50 mins as I casually wandered back along the tracks! Lovely breakfast! Shower was acceptable, eventually the hotel water came through! Great location, easy enough to walk to places especially the main road! And visit Chill Cafe- wonderful food and drinks! Amazing breakfast, they were very accommodating when I asked for egg hoppers!

The only thing that bothered me was the smell, it was like a musty smell. It really was quite bad. I dont know if it was just my room or all! No fridge in room and had to pay cash.

Clean and comfortable room with an amazing view . In a quiet location but easy walking distance into town . The breakfast was delicious as was the curry and rice that the staff made for us one night. Highly recommend

Nothing .

It had a fantastic view. Large, tasty breakfast served on the rooftop. They did a good job with our laundry and we had it returned the same day.

Lovely views once the rain cleared. Really nice and big breakfast. Location was nestled away to be secluded but then only a 10 minute walk to Ella town or 10 minute walk to start of Nine arch bridge or little Adams Peak.

breathtaking views, lovely small (I think only a few rooms) retreat with a view! and still very close to the centre of the town. We really enjoyed everything at Ridge View Hotel - the owner/manager was lovely and helpful with booking tuk tuks and giving us advice on walking trails to see everything. It was all very central and not too hard to the walking trails,

we wished we stayed longer.

The view, tthe room, the breakfast and the people making sure we had a great time!

Absolutely loved this stay. Ella beautifully situated which makes it a hot spot for tourists. Although the town offers various places to eat, drink and shop at times its busyness is not enjoyable. Where the Ridge View Guest House is situated is in the perfect location from town and being surrounded by the nature. The views waking up where the best me and my father have ever stayed. Overlooking Ella’s rock, in easy walking distance of little Adam’s peak and nine arch bridges (walk through the jungle to get there). The rooms were spacious and clean, everything you need to find a bit more peace in the hills. Breakfast was huge and really set you up for the day for any hiking. Each day we got to try a different Sri Lankan breakfast which was so yum! The owners and his family were very helpful in assisting us to our next destination. If I had longer on this trip would have stayed here longer just for the view.

View was the best thing about this place. Just unfortunate the windows were so dirty

The room felt and smelt damp. The bedding felt damp. It wasn't pleasant. The windows were very dirty. It was also very noises. No soundproofing

Excellent location and fantastic staff

Perhaps better quality towels

Breakfast was very good. The view is tremendous. Personal is helpful. Location is far from center, but closer to little Adam’s peak

The owner forgot our booking and one night we had to live in one place, the other two nights in another (better) place. It’s hard to park the car near the place.

Amazing place

The view from the room is great.

This is a lovely little guest house to stay in. We paid for the deluxe room which was well worth it for the view. The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough for you, food was great. Location is in between Ella town and attractions such as Adam’s Peak and the 9 arche bridge

The service n view was very nice .. worth the money
