The homestay had an amazing location close to Pinnawala centre and the orphanage. The family room was clean, bright and perfect. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. But most importantly the hosts were lovely- very friendly and went out of the way to be helpful incl letting us leave our bags ahead of check in and arranging us a taxi to the airport.

We had an amazing stay at Peacock Village! The room perfectly blends modern comfort with its jungle surroundings, with well working amenities like air-con and hot water. The staff were incredibly friendly, they went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. A thoughtful bonus was the free tuktuk service around the village, which added a nice touch to our experience. The scenery is incredible - we highly recommend staying here.

Jungle Village Homestay, hotel in Pinnawala

Boasting mountain views, Jungle Village Homestay features accommodation with a garden and a balcony, around 28 km from Kandy Royal Botanic Gardens.

Jungle Village Homestay is amidst thick dense forest and it is apt for people travelling to spend some quality time with nature. The homestay is surrounded by their farm and the owner's mother was very keen on explaining every crop and tree she grows there. I went with my mother and father and they were thrilled to see the enthusiasm of the host and this was our first day stay after we landed in lanka. truly a great way to start our Sri Lankan Trip. Thank you very much Mr. Ravi for a wonderful stay.

    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.

    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’s really cool place, where you could come and stay for a night and looking at gorgeous animal - elephant. Andrew is a great administrator, who propose the best views, gives an advice and drive to elephant’s orphanage. Always comes by our path and get an agreement to stay in basin (a pool) in nearby hotel, as they are connected with services and personal.

    Location was really nice, and the price is really good. You get to use the pool at the hotel next to hotel pinnalanda. A really good option for one night, to see the elephant bathing in the morning

    Great hotel which seems to have smartened up since earlier posts. We had a very comfortable room with balcony overlooking the river in full spate.
