We arrived late in the evening around 9 PM and we’re offered dinner which we happily accepted. It was excellent. We did the hike, came back and had lunch. It was excellent again. This tiny guest house had better food than many pricey hotels we have stayed in Sri Lanka. The rooms are simple, but functional, and I slept like a baby. The gentleman at the front desk was incredibly accommodating with everything we needed. We are very grateful for the hospitality.
    • Very good food and enjoyed, friendly staff. Always fulfilled my needs upon my requests.
    • The staff was amazing. They were really helpful and discreet. Also, kudos to the chef, cause the food there was excellent.The rooms were very clean and comfortable.The location and the view was amazing, do hope to stay at the White Elephant again.

    Cons -

    • The shower and bathroom are rustic. I knew this and not a complaint. But for future travelers - just be flexible with these things!
    • Everything okay
    • They do not have a restaurant as such only a basement with two large tables plus dirty table linen or they would bring the food to your room. We were there only two nights and decided to try the food on the first night, we waited nearly two hours for one course! The shower curtain in the wet room, you would not want to touch unless you had gloves on. The bedroom floor had not been cleaned. There was no WiFi in the rooms, although it had been stated there was WiFi everywhere. We had asked the hotel to organise a guide for one evening and they did not show up. We had to check out earlier on our last morning and had asked the hotel if they could provide a picnic breakfast, they said yes, we arranged a time, it was paid for and it was no surprise when we left without seeing anyone. In some guide books it is claimed to be the best hotel, it certainly is not.
