The location is very good and it's just opposite the Elephant Orphanage.

Good value for money but avoid the elephants. They are not well looked after or as suggested on photos. Room was comfy and air conditioning was great.
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....

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. 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. 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.
My sons and myself really liked the elephant orphanage which was really close to the hotel. very friendly and attentive staff, we would recomend anybody who wish to visit the elephant orphanage mostly we enjoyed the stay.
