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 😍

Omg what an absolute gem, our favourite accommodation of the whole trip, we had a balcony view of the street so we could see the elephants walking by to go to the river, the room was amazing, big comfy bed, good air con, massive bathroom and it was so spacious. Didn't try the food but you can dine on a balcony overlooking the street also. Staff are really nice as well, there were some young lads working there this week they helped us with our bags and directions to our next destination, can't remember there names but they are a credit to the business

Absolutely wonderful to stay here. After a long flight from The Netherlands we wanted to get out of colombo and went straight here. Very nice breakfast, lunch and dinner. Keep in mind that you're off the main road and are not close to any shop. Relaxation is key here. Staff is very friendly and will happily tell you about their location, tea plantations they own and manage, and also the food! 😁

We came 22 years ago as young honeymooners and once again but this time with our teenage children! We loved the location, the rafting, the chilled out feel of the place. The staff are friendly, helpful, serving good food, the breakfast was plentiful with a Sri Lankan element. The accommodation is basic but comfortable. You are living among nature by a river so expect to see the nature!

Our hosts were the absolute best. They invited us to their family new year celebrations and we were honored to join them. The food they prepared for us on both nights was delicious and adapted to our taste. They helped us with hiking trips and organized each activity we wanted to plan. The mud chalet was clean, comfortable, nicely decorated and we felt very much at ease.

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

Kitulgala is a great stop over on your way to the hill country or coming back and avoids the Colombo Kandy route. While famous for rafting, lately there has been quite a bit of investment going into other outdoor experiences including mountain biking, trekking and other adventure activities. But even if you are not into the adrenaline rush, it's a great place to disconnect and unwind.

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.
