Hemantha, the owner and manager of hotel and his son Dulana have built a truly beautiful pearl in the middle of the rainforest. With excellent English, they took care of us and fulfilled all our wishes. This is our fifth time in Sri Lanka, but we visited Kitulgala for the first time during our travels and I can recommend this area to everyone to visit. Waterfalls in the middle of the forest and rafting on the river are among the great experiences that this hotel offers you at a very fair price. And then you can let yourself be pampered in the comfort of the hotel with great food and enjoy a bath in the beautiful natural pool or right in the small clean river that flows around the hotel. Thanks again, Hemantha and Dulana.

The location is simply stunning. Views from the terrace, the pool and the room are incredible regardless of weather. Pool is in a garden setting where the tea bushes meet to edge of the garden. Food good and not unreasonable. Staff very attentive rooms simple and old world charm but all in keeping with the hotels age.

I had a truly wonderful experience, and I’m especially grateful for the amazing service and support from my guide, Andrew. He’s honestly the hero of this place! From the moment I arrived, he made everything smooth and easy — he met me at the railway station, drove me to the hotel, helped with check-in, and explained the program ahead. The next day, he greeted me after breakfast and invited me to watch traditional local wedding dances — such a unique moment! He then took me to the herbal garden, the elephant orphanage, and the zoo, let me try some local street food, and shared so many interesting stories about Sri Lankan culture and traditions. It was my first time visiting Sri Lanka, and I came alone — so having such a kind and knowledgeable guide made all the difference. Thanks to Andrew, my trip was not just safe and easy, but truly bright and joyful. I also really enjoyed my hotel stay — the river view from the room was beautiful, watching elephants from the pool felt surreal, and the whole atmosphere was incredibly relaxing. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Sri Lanka!

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! 😁

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.
