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)

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.

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!

We were travelling by car and that’s almost impossible to drive direct to the hotel, it’s very steep and narrow way with turns. Tuk tuk usually bring you to the steps in jungle. It’s nice but also very steep way up, about 5-7 min climb. Water is warming by sun, so we had cold water because of raining few days. There wasn’t a mosquito net in our room (in other rooms I’ve seen them).

That’s very nice hotel in on mountain surrounded by jungle. Staff was very helpful and nice. We had room on second floor so we got good view. Room was clean and had enough space.

Quite location, comfortable bed room, amazing view. Great breakfast different everyday. Best to stay family and couple.

Quite difficult to access, even for local TukTuk which don't want to drive uphill.

Guesthouse in nature : calm, wild surroundings. Clean. Good wifi.

If you’re looking for a truly exceptional experience in Ella, look no further than Pearl View Guest House. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this place offers more than just a stay—it offers a genuine taste of Sri Lankan hospitality. The staff here are absolutely incredible. They were incredibly kind, attentive, and always went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. Their warmth and generosity reflect the true spirit of Sri Lanka, and it really made our time here feel special. Our room was spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully designed, with every detail considered for a comfortable stay. It was so refreshing to return to such a clean and peaceful space after exploring the area. Now, the breakfast—what a treat! Fresh, delicious, and perfectly prepared, it was the ideal way to start each day. Whether it was a hearty Sri Lankan breakfast or lighter options, it was always satisfying and flavorful. But the highlight of this guest house is, without a doubt, the view. The vistas here are simply breathtaking—truly some of the best in all of Ella. From the terrace, you can enjoy panoramic views of lush greenery and rolling hills. The sunrise is particularly magical, bathing the landscape in golden light—it’s an experience you won’t forget. Although Pearl View is a little outside of the town center, this is actually a huge plus. It’s the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle, offering peace, tranquility, and an incredible connection with nature. The extra distance is well worth it for the stunning surroundings and the serene atmosphere. Overall, Pearl View Guest House exceeded all expectations. If you’re visiting Ella and want a peaceful, memorable retreat with amazing hospitality, this is the place to be. 100% recommended!

Good quiet location but kinda complicated to reach. Our car wouldnt be able to come close to the hotel as road is too steep. Very helpful owner, good breakfast. We were not lucky with sunrise view due to clouds.

We loved our stay at Pearl View. Wish we could have stayed longer. The rooms spacious and spotless. Breakfast ample and delicious. Family wonderful and helpful. The view outstanding!!!

Access to the location was difficult and borderline dangerous at night due to unsealed road and steep streets. Challenging to get a tuk tuk to bring us back from town center

View and size of bedroom. Nice breakfast

Stayed in January 2025

Access to the place was not easy.. Our driver couldn't get up the mountain so we relied on the place's tuk tuk. From the photos we expected something different. Not adequate blankets.

The family was sweet, helpful, warm and friendly. The view was superb. Nice breakfast. The rooms were basic and clean.

It’s a bit far out the way - but that’s the price to have amazing views over Ella

The views are lovely

As the guesthouse is a high up on the hill above the town, many of the tuc-tuc drivers did not know where it was or were unable to drive all the way to the door. A couple of times we were dropped at the bottom of a set of steps which may present a problem for some people.

Excellent size rooms and a good standard of cleanliness
