For the price point, this is the best place to stay if you're planning to visit Pinnawala. If you want to see the elephants walking through the town, get a balcony room or just sit by the eating area. You also have access to the river area where the elephants bathe, without having to pay for the orphanage fee.

It was a great stay. They upgraded our room to their chalet which was so spacious and comfortable. We could use the other hotel near Peacock for restaurant and pool and it had the best view of elephants in the river. They offered free drive between hotels making it very very easy to use facilities. Mr Andrew was deeply kind and helpful and we're thankful for the service.

The staff were very obliging. We arrived at 1am, this was not a problem and they greeted us warmly. Next morning we watched elephants in river from our balcony. The events coordinator took us to a place where we could walk and swim with elephants. He stopped on side of road on way back to try coconut milk. Wonderful staff. We found the breakfast not quite to European tastes.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the complete hotel staff for their remarkable kindness and assistance, which undoubtedly enhanced our stay. We reserve special gratitude for Andrew, our tour guide, whose warm welcome and generous gesture of taking us on a village tour with his car left a lasting impression.
Most notably, witnessing the elephants relishing their river bath was an extraordinary experience. The soothing sound of the river from our room added a truly relaxing touch to our stay.

We stayed in the beautifull place Luck Uyana Cabana, with very nice spice garden. They offer guided tour in the garder for free with foot massage. You can enjoy long massage and pay for it.
They offer discount for elephant ride and bath with Millenium Elephant foundation which is just next door.
Unfortunately we got ride by Tuk Tuk from the bus station and he reocmend some other - cheeper, but not so clean place for elephant bath. We did not have time to go to Pinnawala itself.

Pinnawala is an elephant orphanage with some axillary tourist services around. Keep in mind that the elephants are the priority and you get the opportunity to be there with them in the comfort of a nice hotel. Plan to arrive after 4PM if you are staying in a hotel by the river as the elephants are moving between the river and the orphanage. They came down three times during the day I was there. Fantastic.

It would have been nice to have had time to sit and have lunch watching the elephants and relaxing. There is also a range of shops to explore and I think a chance to go visit the orphanage in addition to seeing the elephants being bathed.
amazing views. no need to go to the elephant orphanage - it comes to you from 8:30-12. rooms are big and clean and VERY comfy beds. the only reason this place doesn’t get 10/10 is that we were a little disappointed in the food. our dinner was quite salty and there wasn’t a variety of Sri Lankan dishes available, felt like the hotel catered to more western style and we had previously been spoilt by food in other hotels on our trip around the country. the staff were amazing, so hospitable and welcoming and happy to help!
I liked it a lot. When I entered they put a welcome sign on me. It has a terrace, living room, large computer room, toilet, dining room. Kasum the host is exceptional, he picked me up and took me to the station, he took me to the Elephant Orphanage and other places. He is an unbeatable tour guide. In fact I work 10 years in airlines. Totally recommended. One 10 in everything. My experience with elephants is amazing.
Excellent place, spacious rooms, with a lot of vegetation. Anushka is very kind, as is his family. He is a very good guide, he knows a lot about his country and its tourist attractions.
If you have any questions, I recommend that you ask anything, he will help you.
It was an incredible day in their cottage and the typical Sri Lanka breakfast was amazing 🤩🤩
I will back , I’m sure 🫶🏻☺️

We stayed in Pinnawala Village for one night, but this was one of the best experiences in our trip. Especially hotel manager Anuruddha, who has shown the prettiest places of Pinnawala. We really liked food, rooms and friendly staff. You can actually eat breakfast and look at the elephants while bathing. Perfect experience.

Room is really good was really comfortable after the long trip. View from room was on the swimming pool. Room was clean. Breakfast was delicious. From the kitchen you can watch the elephants who are brought in for a swim.
Also we watched the elephants from the swimming pool. I give this hotel a strong nine 👍
there is no meaning of paying credit cards. i have gifted hotel room for my friend. but on the day at the property they have asked to pay. then why should booking.con using credit card to pay at the booking. this is really unfair. disgusting service ever.
This is the best hotel close to elephant orphanage. Rooms have fantastic river view. The staff is very friendly and kind.Rooms are super clean and pleasent The breakfast was good for value and tasty
special thanks for free upgrade of our booking.
The people were really nice, they immediately helped with our luggage, we got a delicious welcome juice, the breakfast was also good and giant. There were towels available and we could park our tuk tuk in front of the hotel
Amazing bed
The location was perfect to see the elephants. The elephants walked right by the hotel entrance. And the owners were extremely friendly and accommodating. We will definitely visit again!
The staff was friendly and helpful.
Located just opposite the elephant orphanage.
Room was clean and newly built.
Food was average, ok for the price. Overall good value for the price.
The friendly staff, private pool attached to the Honeymoon Suite, and close proximity to the Elephant Orphanage made this place extremely worth the price we spent on this.
Beautiful, clean place, spacious rooms, very nice hosts who help with everything, 2 minutes walk to the elephant orphanage / river bathing site, delicious breakfast.
The location is very convenient to visit the Elephant Orphanage and the Zoo. The price of the room per night is reasonable for the room condition and comfortability.
Very kind staff. Couldn't be closer to the elephant orphanage (across the street), which meant I saw the daily walks to the river. Quiet and restful stay.
A perfect stopover between Colombo and Kandy and beyond. Full of old world charm and the tour of the hotel was great! Staff friendly and accommodating!
