Nice staff. Super charming building, really authentic, once owned by Queen Elizabeth's accountant. There's a picture of the Queen visiting the place. The hotel has a nice pool and beautiful aesthetics.

We spent 3 nights at Moksha and I have to say it truly exceeded all our expectations. The rooms were super comfortable and the staff were extremely helpful. The chef team (Sampath, Thank, Manila and Sumudu) were amazing, we told them one time about a something we ate in the market while in Colombo and they made us that dessert for dinner that same day. That's how far and beyond they went for us and every day since they would make us special treats not even on the menu. We did so many activities as well so it wasn't just that the hotel was wonderful but there was so much to do around the area. We went zip lining, canyoning, white water rafting and waterfall abseiling and it was all arranged by the hotel with a very well trained team. I can't recommend this hotel enough to anyone who's looking to just relax or for adventure or a bit of both. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Rooms and Amenities: The rooms are thoughtfully designed with luxurious bedding and modern amenities. The spacious and spotless bathroom came fully equipped with essentials like bathroom flip-flops, dental kits, and a hairdryer, ensuring a comfortable experience. Dining Experience: Although the hotel currently serves only breakfast as they are new to the business, they go above and beyond to assist with ordering and serving lunch or dinner from nearby options. Breakfast was a highlight, served on the rooftop beside the small infinity pool. The setting was serene, complemented by soft music. The meal included a fresh fruit platter, fruit juice, milk rice, chicken with sambol, and a choice of tea or coffee. The food was fresh and delicious. The staff were exceptionally supportive and friendly, always ready to assist at any hour. Their attentiveness and willingness to ensure a seamless stay were commendable.

We were fortunate to have booked this hotel for 8 nights. We needed some rest and this was the perfect place to do it. We instantly felt part of the Aramya family. Amazing staff and manager, super friendly and always willing to help. The chef made delicious food and we were looking forward to a new meal every day. Last but not least: the hotel is located on a stunning location. In the middle of the jungle with fantastic birds. We also loved the neighbourhood and that is not yet discovered by tourists. We could have easily spend more nights 😍

It is all about an elephant watching, so be sure you have enough time for it. I booked 2 nights. So have enough time after all the pictures making to really observe and enjoy them. They are out there basically from 8:30 till 16:00. With some short pauses. You can watch them from the room, restaurant, pool or even from the street. I did it all😀 One of the best experiences was Andrew. Many thanks to him! From the beginning of booking till the very last minute, when he squeezed me into the right bus to Kelly😀 if you have a chance ask for him directly. He will help you with all trips including the pickup at the airport.

Absolutely loved it here. This is a rustic hotel on the very edge of a fast moving river (or it was in Nov), with amazing open views over the water and the wildlife. Truly relaxing, with lovely crafted wooden furniture, half decent wifi and a few beers for the evening. Food was excellent and very plentiful. Service was never intrusive, but always there if you needed anything. Our room had an open aspect (ie no glass in the windows, just a fine grill that can be opened or closed) so the sound and sight of the water could be experienced from your bed. Mosquito net was in place and we never got bitten by anything at all during our stay. Bathroom was clean and shower was hot ! They did some laundry for us too (extra cost). The management team here have great English and it was nice to chat to them. We had already booked a whitewater rafting session with another company, so I was surprised to see that the hotel has its own WWRafting company on site. Definitely give this a go when in Sri Lanka. I would absolutely stay here next time.

We just stayed here for two nights and it was so good we extended our stay. The rooms are lovely, the staff are amazing and the food is local and delicius. the location is real paradise. gardens of eden . on a sunny days bungalow terrace or reception pool view is stunning. on a rainy day all turns into rainforest jungle with birds singing . Try their home grown green tea. you can ask breakfast to be served at your terrace. . place is just epic. you get botanic and spice garden all at once . personell not only provide you with the best service but they just happy serving you. Manager was so nice he provided us 2 hour plantation tour. most likelly you will get personal waterfall at your disposal. if you stand still in the fall's pool for a couple of minutes you get free fish spa. bungalow rooms are clean . no smels. new and working plumbing. room had wifi router. fumigation.

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!

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.
