The location was amazing, to be able to watch the elephants from the balcony. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Fresh omelette and pancakes for breakfast was lovely. Using WhatsApp as a way of communication worked well and Andrew was very helpful arranging local trips. We didn't want to go far as we'd miss the elephants!

The staff were very obliging.
The staff were very obliging. We arrived at 1am, this was not a problem and they greeted us warmly. Next morning we watched elephants in river from our balcony. The events coordinator took us to a place where we could walk and swim with elephants. He stopped on side of road on way back to try coconut milk. Wonderful staff. We found the breakfast not quite to European tastes.michelleLatvia - 10Scored 10

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to the complete hotel staff for their remarkable kindness and assistance, which undoubtedly enhanced our stay. We reserve special gratitude for Andrew, our tour guide, whose warm welcome and generous gesture of taking us on a village tour with his car left a lasting impression. Most notably, witnessing the elephants relishing their river bath was an extraordinary experience. The soothing sound of the river from our room added a truly relaxing touch to our stay.AAnonymousThailand - 10Scored 10

We stayed in the beautifull place Luck Uyana Cabana, with very nice spice garden. They offer guided tour in the garder for free with foot massage. You can enjoy long massage and pay for it. They offer discount for elephant ride and bath with Millenium Elephant foundation which is just next door. Unfortunately we got ride by Tuk Tuk from the bus station and he reocmend some other - cheeper, but not so clean place for elephant bath. We did not have time to go to Pinnawala itself.Petra - 10Scored 10

Pinnawala is an elephant orphanage with some axillary tourist services around. Keep in mind that the elephants are the priority and you get the opportunity to be there with them in the comfort of a nice hotel. Plan to arrive after 4PM if you are staying in a hotel by the river as the elephants are moving between the river and the orphanage. They came down three times during the day I was there. Fantastic.RRolandUnited States - 10Scored 10

It would have been nice to have had time to sit and have lunch watching the elephants and relaxing. There is also a range of shops to explore and I think a chance to go visit the orphanage in addition to seeing the elephants being bathed.

- From KRW 90,363 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very goodRated very good· 1,388 reviewsamazing views. no need to go to the elephant orphanage - it comes to you from 8:30-12. rooms are big and clean and VERY comfy beds. the only reason this place doesn’t get 10/10 is that we were a little disappointed in the food. our dinner was quite salty and there wasn’t a variety of Sri Lankan dishes available, felt like the hotel catered to more western style and we had previously been spoilt by food in other hotels on our trip around the country. the staff were amazing, so hospitable and welcoming and happy to help!HollyUnited Kingdom

It has a terrace, living room, large computer room, toilet, dining room. Kasum the host is exceptional, he picked me up and took me to the station, he took me to the Elephant Orphanage and other places. He is an unbeatable tour guide. In fact I work 10 years in airlines. Totally recommended. One 10 in everything. My experience with elephants is amazing.BLANCO ARISTINSpain

- From KRW 37,994 per night9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 216 reviewsIt was a great stay. They upgraded our room to their chalet which was so spacious and comfortable. We could use the other hotel near Peacock for restaurant and pool and it had the best view of elephants in the river. They offered free drive between hotels making it very very easy to use facilities. Mr Andrew was deeply kind and helpful and we're thankful for the service.
