    Rock View Rest ist exactly what the name promises, a beautiful accommodation located right above a river that you can see from the room’s balcony. It is a serene location surrounded by gigantic bamboo trees. Also, we were warmly welcomed with a cup of tea.

    We had a smaller room downstairs, which could have need a bit cleaner, the shower heater wasn’t working, nor did the Wi-Fi. We saw inside a guest room upstairs which looked much brighter and more spacious

    Lovely family, so friendly and interesting in sharing with us. Great breakfast. We’re really helping in arranging a large taxi down to the south coast the next day.

    The billing was confusing and not consistent with that listed on booking.com, cost a lot more.Air conditioning that was listed on booking.com was also not evident though we did not need it.

    Food was really delicious. Excellent hot water in bathroom shower. Helpful hosts. When one room was discovered to be damp, the hosts happily moved us to a less damp one.

    Because of the location, it was a bit damp in the room and everything was a bit gloomy. But we could live with that. Unfortunately, there is so much rubbish from the city in the river that we didn't want to go into the water.

    We had an amazing experience with Ravi (the owner) and his family. We put together a number of activities with him and agreed on a fair fixed price. This meant we were able to explore a lot in Hatton and the surrounding area and experienced some great things. Rafting, waterfalls, Adams Peak at sunrise. We had breakfast and dinner every day. We were taken to the laundry. The whole family gave us a very warm welcome. Thank you for the great time.

    Part of the hotel was not fully constructed, so outer appearance was a bit unsatisfactory. Food was average.

    Location was good, clean spacious rooms, friendly owner and his family who gave lot of tips of good locations to travel, flexible payment processes. Value for money.

    We scheduled the room for two nights as we climbed Sri Pada. We didn’t end up ever staying there, only left our belongings and tuk tuk. The owner wasn’t there and we had a very difficult time communicating with the family. Address is not on Google Maps. The name of homestay is slightly different on GM. Hope this helps.

    The room is beautiful, on the river.

    We had such a wonderful stay here. First of all, Ravi and his wife were so nice and helpful and served us an amazing breakfast! The location of the hotel on top of the water pools makes for a beautiful view from the balcony and the sound of the running water is soothing. The beds are amazingly comfortable and I had the best sleep here. Loved all the plants and the stairs and would definitely recommend staying here.

    Ravi and Vasanti are amazing hosts! Their place is unique, located next to a beautiful waterfall in the little rainforest outside of town. The room is big and comfortable with a balcony where to sit and relax with the sound of the water flowing, the birds singing and the monkeys playing. Ravi is also a great communicator and tour guide, he can drive you to the most espectacular attractions in Hatton surroundings, such a te plantations, temples, waterfalls and mountains with his private Tuk Tuk. His wife is very kind and she’s a great cook, you can have breakfast and all the meals at the spot. We had a lovely stay, totally recommended!

    Nothing, but ask for the top room, that is absolutely the best room.

    The friendly family, nice food, lovely stay. The owner went with us to Gartmore falls, which was absolutely beautiful. You can swim on top of the fall. He brought us lunch. The waterfall is a hidden gem, not yet discovered by tourists. Thr drive through the traplantations is stunning. Go to Hatton!

    All good thanks

    Owner very friendly and helpful View of the river is amazing. We stayed in the monsoon season so the water was very fast running water too fast to swim unfortunately. Breakfast was great, see photos on Google reviews. Local area walks along the road have amazing views of tea plantations & lake etc. Saw tea pickers at work 8am before breakfast. Walk towards the lake & down into the plantation amazing views Good value for money Recommend.

    The sight in the walkway to the property isn’t very inviting, but doesn’t matter once you are relaxing in the property itself. Need to fix the shower handle as it removed easily once opened. Lighting of the room can be improved, a lot of light but the wattage may be low to lit up the room fully. Bed sheets can be improved, seems to be clean yet some spots were noticed.

    The property is very good starting point if you are planning to do some nature escape as it is along the river, full of green lushes, sound of nature at its finest. Great view in the balcony. Mr. Ravi can help you arrange your tours to nearby waterfalls for a very good price. Bed and pillow is very comfortable, a cure for your tired body after a long day hike. Breakfast is also good.

    We liked it all.

    A lovely family who really looked after us. We had planned to go to Adams Peak the day after we arrived but they explained how many people would be there so suggested a day trip to a special waterfall and Adams peak the next. We stayed an extra night to do this. We liked that the price for the waterfall day was all inclusive so we could relax for the whole day without any unexpected offers or cost coming up. This included delicious pancakes for our lunch. The waterfall was breathtaking and the whole day was one of beautiful views proudly shown to us by Ravi. We liked our balcony and the view from our room. We enjoyed all of the food made by Vashanti. Ravi and his daughter Madhu have good English which made communication much easier. The brother Puvan was our driver to Adams peak and we felt very comfortable with his driving.

    False advertising. Listed at $95 US. Reduced to $25. Not worth $15. Very basic room and facility. No soap, toilet paper, no aircon, no hot water, no wifi working, no sheet on bed. Dirty musty room. Host had very aggressive argument with neighbors only 10m from our room for 1 and a half hours and then loud talking near our room for another 3 hours until 1230 am. We were afraid and locked ourselves in the bedroom and got a tuk tuk arranged for daybreak to leave this horrible experience.

    Nothing.
