Peacock Village is a calm and cozy place located in a beautiful nature resort. The room itself was impeccable - clean, well-maintained, and decorated in a modern style. The village’s location is excellent, with close proximity to the elephant orphanage, a hotel resort offering amazing food, and the village center. The manager, Andrew, was exceptional, making our stay truly enjoyable. We experienced his hospitality on an exceptional level.

Nice staff. Super charming building, really authentic, once owned by Queen Elizabeth's accountant. There's a picture of the Queen visiting the place. The hotel has a nice pool and beautiful aesthetics.

Wow, I really recommend this place. The owner was super super helpful and really nice. I never had an experience like this before. It was our first night in Sri Lanka and he helped us with transportation (we came by public bus). He told us where to go etc. The room was really nice. He borrowed us an adapter extra blanket and also a mosquito net. We were with him to elephants, bets and waterfall. All the time he asked us if we needed something. Even after accommodation he told us that he will help us if we need it. We also got pick up from the bus station.

It was one of the best stays in Sri Lanka. In the middle of the jungle. We really loved to stay with family. It was the most authentic staying that we had in Sri Lanka. the kids (2 years and 5 years), are still talking about their home in srilanka in the middle of the jungle, they loved to spend time with grandmom ( she taught them one song, and we must singing every day ) and their tuk tuk driver, which was the best driver at alll srilanka. we recommend to all families to spent time in jungle homestay.

Wow! The view from the lobby and the room was breathtaking. The staff was very helpful. They allowed us to charge our phones while we waited to check in early due to a sick kid. They also arranged a car for us to the train station.

    It’s difficult to find something good, I’ll be honest. The elephants were great to see but this had nothing to do with the property, just the location. A fantastic experience but I’d advise anyone to stay at another hotel. It wasn’t even like this was the cheapest place either.

    How this hotel is so cheap is a mystery. Fantastic location, great staff, lovely welcome. The manager is a lovely guy. Very helpful Shower and bathroom were brilliant, bed very comfortable and the reason they won't check you in before 4pm is because the elephants are walking down to the pool so the people that review complaining this are ridiculous. The hotel cannot stop the elephants can they 🤣🤣!! Really fantastic stay. Brilliant hotel and could definitely charge double the price. DO NOT MISS THIS HOTEL
