The property is located right next to the Elephant Orphanage. It’s clean, the home is a well designed and maintained home with a little garden. Excellent, helpful and resourceful hosts. Enjoyed their company and conversations.

We got a bright and nice room on the top floor with a long L-shaped balcony, patio, a/c, fan, good wifi, a bottle of cold drinking water, bathrobes, large towels, bath mat and a large and very comfortable bed. The room's furnishings are generous and well thought out. The bathroom is quite large, has well-functioning hot water and plenty of shelves and hooks/holders. Everything is very clean and nice, without any signs of damp. The fantastically good and generous breakfast (with freshly brewed "fine coffee"!) is served in the nice kitchen on the middle floor. There are a total of 6 rooms (2 smaller, of which we stayed in one, and 4 larger) and there are plenty of seating areas etc. under cover outside the rooms. Everything feels very spacious and nice. There is also a private parking in the courtyard. The host couple are very friendly, generous and flexible! There are plenty of restaurants and shops within walking distance. We will be happy to come back here! PS: We actively did chose not to visit The Elephant Orphanage… Please read their reviews before a possible visit.

I had a very comfortable stay at Suwani Pinnawala Homestay…. the room was clean, spacious, and well-furnished, with a spotless bathroom…. the hosts were exceptionally kind, especially the lady of the house, who went out of her way to prepare special vegetarian meals for me…. breakfast was excellent, and the homestay is conveniently close to the elephant bathing grounds. Highly recommended!

Nothing to complain about.

Very nice host couple. The breakfast was delicious with a wide range of local dishes and a daily changing menu. If we requested, we were served an equally delicious dinner. Spacious room with perfectly functioning equipment. There were even 2 bathrobes in addition to the towels and linen. Quiet location, 2 minutes from the Elephant Orphanage.

I will give 100 stars out of 5 stars for this property.. If the readers viewing the review to book this property..please read completely and then Don't hestitate to book this property as below are the reasons and my own experience which is very positive. We booked this property for 1 day stay and then we planned to reach by 11pm in night but unfortunately we able to reach the property only by 3am in midnight... The take carer was couples Uncle and aunty (with young mindset and care) They didn't even hesitate to receive us in midnight 3am which was really good and warm welcome.. The room was very tidely and clean enough to stay and enjoying with friends. The next morning we were planning to go to elephant orphanage but the takecarer directed to the near by elephant spot where the elephant bathing, riding and feeding the elephant.. Luckily the takecarer uncle only helped with tuktuk ride to the spot and he took care of us like their own daughter and son... He help us to get the best rate from the vendor of elephant camp. Breakfast was served on time which was prepared in home and served with all the love and care - They were ready to provide the hot beverages as per wish. They even helped us with the cab/van enquiries for next iteration from their place which means very helpful

Very nice place with great hosts. Very warm and friendly people who took a great care of us during our 2 nights stay. Big and tasty breakfast! Nice views from the terrace. Each evening after sunset hundreds of bats fly above the guesthouse to their night location which is a fantastic view to watch.

The homestay had an amazing location close to Pinnawala centre and the orphanage. The family room was clean, bright and perfect. The beds were comfortable. The breakfast was excellent. But most importantly the hosts were lovely- very friendly and went out of the way to be helpful incl letting us leave our bags ahead of check in and arranging us a taxi to the airport.
