This is easily one of the most beautiful boutique hotels I've stayed at. Recently renovated, no expense has been spared to bring the Colonial mansion back to life. The attention to detail is remarkable. All the services are extraordinary and if I ever have a special occasion in Sri Lanka it will be at the Grand Walawwa.

The stunning locations, in the middle of the rain forest with a private natural pool. The room design, the food and the multiple activities (rafting, trekking city tour waterfall visit etc.) are other elements that made us having a great experience. The quality of the service was simply amazing. Dulana and his family did their best to satisfy every needs and were always open to feedbacks.

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!

This hotel is really great 😁 The host is very kind. When we got there we got cold towels and a welcome drink. The room is amazing! We just got our own tuktuk here so driving it was new. The hotel is on a top of a hill so the drive is a bit difficult. But the host and other people helped us.

From reception to our bedroom was a worm welcome. Shalika and her colleagues were beyond our expectations. She even upgraded our bedroom to a river view bedroom with an open balcony, which was fantastic. Dinner and breakfast were excellent . Delicious food we all enjoyed with happy faces. We also enjoyed looking at elephants and their bath . My son was overwhelmed by seeing elephants in real life. Overall, we highly recommend Pinnalanda Grand Hotel is the best place to stay for a vacation and elephant bath view.

We had a lovely stay at White Villa! The owners are so gracious and hospitable and did everything for us to have a nice stay. We had dinner at the villa the 2 nights we stayed and the owner cooks amazing rice and curry 😋 The bungalows are build with lots of space between so you have a lot of privacy and private balcony facing the jungle. The surroundings are beautiful with nature and a natural pool on the property. The address is updated (+ there is signs) so when you go up the hill it will tell you that you have arrived before but keep going up even when you think you are lost, until you see a sign decorated with rocks right next to the owners little shop. A lot of value for the money + nice breakfast. Can only recommend!

Before we even arrived they were very communicative. We ending up arriving late and they sent someone to meet us on the main road to guide us in. They made us a delicious dinner and even went to get us some beers after our long drive. At every opportunity they could not do enough for us. The surrounding area was absolutely stunning in the rainforest. Very peaceful, clean and a crystal clear waterfall to swim in. They arranged us the white water rafting which was also great. I couldn’t recommend more!

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.

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.
