It's a very basic room/ bathroom. And it's what you would expect for the price. Good breakfast. Stunning view and well located in Ella!

Great location, great hospitality!

Amazing place to stay in Ella! The owners are so lovely and made sure my stay was comfortable. The view is incredible and my breakfast was absolutely delicious! I recommend booking your stay in Ella at Sunburst View! Thank you so much for the great stay!

Nothing

This was one of our favourite stays so far in Sri Lanka. If you want somewhere peaceful in the mountains with incredible views then this is the place!!! The host was so friendly and made a lovely breakfast each morning ( the coconut pancakes were delicious!!!) the room is simple but comfortable, hot water and a lovely balcony (shared with your neighbours I should add) where you can enjoy the views of beautiful Ella. You are about a 15 min walk to town but this isn’t a problem as we enjoyed being away from the busy town and it’s only a 4 min drive in a tuktuk. You can also access Ella rock hike from the back of this hotel via the stairs which was handy!! All in all a great stay

The walls were a bit damp, but that’s understandable given that the place is built into the hillside. The furnishings are quite basic, but for a short stay, they’re totally fine. Honestly, the hospitality of the host made up for everything. We felt so welcome, and we'd definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The location is peaceful yet not too far from the center. The breakfasts were amazing, the view was breathtaking, and the bed was super comfortable. The host was incredibly kind – we had an early departure, and he even prepared a snack pack for our journey!

The rooms are built on the hill and the back of the rooms is built against the ground, therefore it’s very humid inside and it shows.. Not only smell of humidity but also damaged plaster and bedsheets that feel humid. Also the bathroom needs some care. Breakfast was basic: bread with jam & butter, an egg, papaya & tea.

The view from the balcony/terrace is really amazing, especially in the morning. Comfortable bed, friendly & welcoming host. Located a bit out of the busy and noisy center, a lot of nature around and close to hiking trails.

Personally, perfect location. Easily walkable to the town centre (about 15min, dark at night, take a flashlight) but without the loud music and town noise. Amazing views with nice sunrise. Host very kind and helpful. Kind of on the way to Ella rock, with maps.me there's a nice way from the alley where the house is to the train track to start/finish that trek.

It’s not extremely close to the center, so at night it can be a bit dark to come back. But it didn’t bother us :)

Lovely bedroom with a very comfortable bed. The view was amazing, during our stay it was cloudy, but if you’re lucky enough to have a clear sunrise you’ll be amazed!

Lovely view of the mountains, surrounded by nature. A really magical place to wake up to. The owners were very kind and helpful. They provided a delicious Sri Lankan breakfast. Good location, away from the busyness of Ella Main Street. If you’re into walking/ hiking then this is a good place for you. Have a torch handy in the evenings. Clean and comfortable rooms.

Low water pressure. Clean but doesn’t look like it in detail.

Terrace view. Hot water. Amazing helpful staff. Located one hour walking distance from Little Adam’s Peak and Nine Arches Bridge and even the Ella Rock.

That we had to leave after extending our stay

We loved the stunning views, peace & nature here. Having our breakfast on the terrace was lovely& you can watch the sun rise over the hills opposite. The breakfast was so tasty with homemade coconut pancakes & rotis & the hosts are so welcoming, helpful. The room was simple but comfortable & we had everything we needed.

This place has amazing sunrise view on Little Adams Peak, you can also see Ella Rock. We really enjoyed the breakfast on terrace.The rooms were clean, the water pressure in one of the bathrooms was weak. There was no AC, but it was absolutely no issue as in the evening it was getting colder. The host had basic english but it was enough to understand each other. The only thing we missed was a small fridge (to make the water bottles bit colder). Totally recommend this place!

Owner and his family are very kind, and super nice people!! They offered me dinner, since I was so tired for unexpected long trip, because of delaying the train. Wifi is working very good there! and you can see sunrise with little Adam's peak. If you prefer quiet area surrounding green nature with small budgets, I strongly recommend this place! Only 10 minutes from the city by walking. Only another one room next to you! So, it's totally nice to have a relax! :)

I stayed there for three nights and could have stayed for a month… The location is incredible, sorrounded by nature everywhere and with the best views of Ella to say good morning to you when you wake up! What’s more: getting to town only in 10-15’ walking was great! The room is big, clean and comfortable… I slept like a baby every day. The owner and his family are very kind and will help in everything necessary. And the breakfast included in the price was also excelent (watching the monkeys playing in the trees next to…)!! Price-quality I think is the best option to stay in Ella! 🤩

Nice place to stay when you visit Ella. Family very helpful and friendly.

I am 196cm tall and the bad was small even for my girlfriend who is 175cm tall. So if you are similar like me, you will jut out maybe 15cm from the edge. And for me was low water pressure in the bathroom.

I liked the personnel. Very kind. We also get big breakfast. We could see monkeys on the trees infront of balcony during the stay. Quiet place, any annoying tuk tuks or other cars.

The road during the nighttime

the best part was the sunrise view

There’s only 1 plug available and that’s for Wi-Fi. I have to remove it for charging my phone and use my mobile data instead.

Breakfast was fine for the one’s who prefers light meal. Location is close to the city. Own balcony with mountainous view. However, if you’re walking during the night you must have a flashlight or light on your phone because some places does not have any light. Be mindful of your steps.

Water flow from shower was very weak, very hard to take a shower.

Amazing view, breakfast, attitude, caring. Organised hosting to places on Ella- i spent my day bringing dreams to life!!! Advice that i can't pass - Always negotiate prices for tuk tuk!!! If you know more less prices for this service disscus and disagree. There are a lot of competitors and everyone needs a job. Its related not only to this one accomodation but mainly.

There was nothing we didn't like - although the fittings in the bathrooms do need a little fixing and updating.

Sunburst View offered us all that we needed for our weekend away in Ella. Premasiri was a lovely host, and really eager to please. The rooms were lovely and the view towards Little Adam's Peak was wonderful. We also enjoyed the breakfast, which was varied and very generous.

It's quite dated, mosquito net had some holes and we kept getting ants on the bed, a bit far from the town, small room, breakfast was average

Very friendly and warm family, the views are very nice, very affordable and peaceful location and surroundings.

The bathroom was not very clean and there was a bed sheet missing for the bed. Only a blanked (which seemed not washed) was available. Besides that it was very nice and the hosts are super kind.

Very good local breakfast and very nice and kind hosts. Great view and terrace!
