Everything was exceptional. A true 5 star experience, nothing to complain about. We stayed 3 nights at Moksha. We had most of our meals, as well as we did a tour to a waterfall and a hike in the rain forest from the hotel, which can be recommended. The staff were very friendly and helpfull. The dining was exceptional, we had a new food experience every night.

We made a last-minute booking and were lucky to get the Sky Villa – a true gem and hidden treasure! The view was absolutely breathtaking, with a private jacuzzi pool and an unbeatable sense of privacy. The service was exceptional, with staff operating at the highest level of professionalism. Totally worth the price. The feeling of being on top of a giant rock is indescribable – truly unique! The room was brand new, and we learned the hotel only opened three months ago. You definitely won’t regret staying here!

We arranged for my in-laws to stay at this hotel as a special birthday gift for my father-in-law, and it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. From the start, the staff went above and beyond to make their stay truly memorable. Not only did they provide a beautifully decorated birthday cake, but they also arranged for soothing foot massages, adding an extra layer of care that made the occasion even more special. The hotel’s location by the river added a serene and picturesque backdrop to their stay, making it a perfect setting for relaxation and celebration. The rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable, and my in-laws couldn’t stop raving about the delicious food they enjoyed each day. The hotel staff's dedication to making guests feel valued and pampered was evident in every detail. My in-laws had an incredible experience, and we couldn’t be more grateful to the hotel team for making it happen. If you’re looking for a place that offers not just great amenities but also a truly personal touch, this hotel is the perfect choice. We highly recommend it for anyone seeking a memorable and stress-free stay.

Everything about our stay was incredible. The staff made our stay extra special. Our room had a private pool which faced the jungle and it was very relaxing to enjoy a dip in the heated pool while being inside the jungle and listening to the river water flowing below. We had monkeys visiting our balcony in the morning. The retreat is facing the river and featured a natural pool for guests to enjoy. Indoneel went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and pleasure, he has even surprised us with a romantic candle dinner. Lalith, the Chef, prepared amazing meals for us and was super kind and friendly too. The retreat had an accommodation for our driver which was a great gesture. I would highly recommend this place and would love to stay there again. P.S. they said the food there was halal, which was a great addition

When I read the comments before going to the hotel, I saw that the hotel was not very clean, but I think the comments were unfair in this regard. The hotel room and pool were very clean. It is great that the rooms have a balcony. A very beautiful view awaits you in your room. The hotel's pool and garden also have wonderful views. I think it is a good choice to stay in this hotel

Lovely stay on the river listening to the sounds of nature while you sleep. One side of the chalets are fully open which is perfect for nature lovers. Surprisingly there are hardly any bugs in the chalets. They keep them really clean. Great value for money, and run by a great team. The meals are enormous and homely. They organise a lovely 1.5 hr rafting trip which ends at the resort itself for 35 usd. The rapids are light, nothing overbearing, great for beginners.

We had an amazing stay in Hotel Pinnalanda. The view is breathtaking! Breakfast was really good and the staff was so lovely and friendly. Especially Andrew (that’s how we called him) from the tour desk was such a lovely helpful guy! Thank you Andrew, you did a great job! But all the staff was amazing and made our holiday!! I can really recommend to also use the pool when the elephants are out, that was amazing!

The views, the natural water pool and the terrace was magical! This place is very tranquil with the most beautiful views of the jungle and mountains. We were the only guests when we arrived and the stuff took a lot of care of us. They even helped us to drive our tuk tuk down because the road to the hotel is very steep and bumpy.

Hotel was great , we arrived at 5 am and security let us in . Restaurant was great , WiFi was good , shops are a 2 min walk up the road as is the elephant orphanage. View from our room was amazing . Elephants come right up to you . Bathroom could have been cleaner but that is my only down point . Value for money 11/10 for the experience we had There is a herb garden , elephant poo factory and tea factory that are all very interesting

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.
