We stayed for one night and it was one of our favorite accommodations in Sri Lanka. An oasis in Kegalle. Staff was friendly and the room was really nice. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast and dinner menu has a lot of options. Clean and safe.

Located in the heart of Pinnawala, Hotel Elephant Bay provides rooms with large private balconies and spectacular views over Ma Oya River. Rooms are bright and airy, with simple décor and furnishings....

The views are just breathtaking. It’s the first thing you see when you enter. The rooms were comfortable with a balcony. The buffets at the hotel is lovely and affordable. The view from the pool and the river banks having the elephants just interact with the guests is also nice. There’s balconies on every floor is lovely if you don’t have a river facing room and there’s common areas. The housekeeping staff are such friendly boys and helpful. Also the guy at the restaurant was kind.

    Pinnawala basically has 4 main attractions therefore a maximum of 2 days is sufficient. The main attraction is the elephant orphanage. Related to that is the elephant bathing at the nearby river which is fascinating. Remember the ticket you purchase for the orphanage is required for the bathing so do both in the same day as the tickets technically only valid for the day (we did not know this so we went to the orphanage in the evening and went to see the bathing the next day.. however the kind ticket officers let us go). Then there is a mini zoo where animals roam in more space than usual. You can feed animals here which could be fascinating (for a small fee). Then there is a traditional village called Iparini Gama where you can experience live style of a traditional sri lankan village.

    Spectacular area to get up and close with elephants.

    Spectacular area to get up and close with elephants. Unique experience with elephants walking thru the village for their daily bathing. General accommodation facilities were good. Bars and eateries also of reasonable standard. We stayed at Grand Royal Pinnalanda and found this quite satisfactory in services and value.

    Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing.

    Amazing experience to watch the elephants bathing. A number of souvenir shops on the street and limited food options. We ate in our hotel. Shops don't stay open late as most tourists leave for the day. 1 night is enough.

    The staff were very obliging.

    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.

    Peacock Village is a calm and cozy place located in a beautiful nature resort. The room itself was impeccable - clean, well-maintained, and decorated in a modern style. The village’s location is excellent, with close proximity to the elephant orphanage, a hotel resort offering amazing food, and the village center. The manager, Andrew, was exceptional, making our stay truly enjoyable. We experienced his hospitality on an exceptional level.

    This is an interesting place in а Sri Lanka village, which works fine for nature lovers. We liked the cosy bungalow surrounded by nature. We enjoyed tasty Sri Lankan home food, especially dinners. The hotel owners are very friendly and take care of our needs. This place is good if you are going to visit Bo Ella Waterfall and Bible Rock (Bathalegala).We went hiking and enjoyed much. They have hot water and a well designed bathroom.

    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.
