My parents were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and although we celebrated a little late, they had such a wonderful experience.
Quoting my dad “The birthday arrangement was beautiful, the cake was lovely, and the famous DoubleTree cookie was the best. The breakfast and dinner buffets were both excellent, and the amenities were exceptional.”
What really stood out to them was the warmth and attention to detail throughout their stay.
My mum still can’t stop complimenting the food; my parents have travelled all around Sri Lanka and tried many different cuisines, so coming from them, that is actually really huge to hear!
Next time I’m in Lanka, I already know where my first stop will be.
10/10 for such a great stay!
Wonderful location, just amazing to look out over the lake and watch the birds. We were extremely well cared for by an excellent team and would highly recommend this accommodation.
We stayed in this property for 1 night only, and the following morning went on a Yala safari. Perfect location, they provided back breakfast to take along. Excellent service.
We enjoyed our one night stay. Couldn't spend much time in the pool due to rain but enjoyed the pool time as well. Food at the buffet was very tasty. Good place to relax.
The hotel was absolutely amazing. The service was superb and the food was delicious. We enjoyed our stay very much.We loved the beds and the pillows , we slept really well.
Also a special mention to Vishwa the naturalist who was outstanding with her informative wildlife tours which my 9 year old son enjoyed very much.
The swimming pool was exceptionally good with a very natural feel and it was not too crowded. A great place to watch birds as you could see bee eaters, bulbuls etc and even monitor lizards. There is so much more to this place and we loved our stay there. We hope to return one day in the future.
We really enjoyed our stay at Double Tree by Hilton Weerawila. Staff members were super nice and helpful. We had dinner and breakfast there with variety of food options which were super delicious.Thank you Mr. Charith, head chef and others who were helping us during the dining on May 1 and 2. We will visit there again
This was an amazing hotel. Everything was perfect, the staff so friendly and helpfu. The grounds absolutely stunning and the food was amazing . We travel a lot and the food was some of the best we have had,taste and presentation on point. Only regret was we only bookec for one night on our travels through Sri Lanka
Thank you to the Hilton staff
PS the welcome cookie is a nice touch
A beautiful hotel with spotless rooms and excellent service. The staff-Jhonny, Gobinath, and Kaveesa-are highly professional and attentive. Chef Manawadu was especially accommodating, ensuring that my uncle, who needed gluten-free options, had plenty of delicious food.
Very nice place for hair relaxing and enjoying the resort with a few birds, monkeys, squirrels and butterflies. Loved the place. Thanks to the manager Yomal for looking after me. I will come back again. 😊
Room very clean and good stock of toiletries including bath robe and slippers.
Coffee making machine + coffee pods as an extra to normal supply of teas and coffees in sachets. We had a suite which was excellent with a lot of space and facilities including iron/ ironing table.
Large bailcony with loungers+ towels.
Breakfast buffet style - reasonable choice.
Large hotel, staff generally helpful but service therefore less personal.
My suitcase flew off the shuttle as maybe not placed correctly and was badly scratched. No apology.
Stayed at this hotel for one night. Went to another hotel in Yala. Was not pleased with what I saw. My family and I turned around and went back to stay here for another night. Very clean hotel, very polite staff who go above and beyond to ensure you have a relaxing and comfortable stay. Highly recommend staying here if you are ever in Weerawila. Keep up the great work!!! :)

We spent two nights at this charming hotel, staying in a spacious presidential villa with a private swimming pool and four bedrooms. The modern design was impressive, and the staff were exceptionally kind and helpful. We were fortunate to receive excellent assistance from Ms. Senuri, who provided thorough explanations and support. One thing to keep in mind is that, due to the hotel's proximity to the lake, there are quite a few insects.
Beautiful hotel and staff. Reception exceptionally helpful . Last hotel I extended stay at had issues and tried to swap room. Not here/everything went smoothly. Easy to book safaris although pool and grounds make you question the need to leave. Food excellent and well presented. Plenty of dining options.
Overview:
We are a family of four from India, with two kids (6 years old and 7 months old). Our trip took place in November 2024, and the main reason for staying at this resort was our safari in Yala National Park.
We traveled from Nuwara Eliya (Nanu Oya) to Ella by train, which took about 3.5 hours. Then, we drove for about 2.5 hours to reach DoubleTree by Hilton. Apart from ultra-luxury resorts like Wild Coast Tented Lodges and Uga Chena Huts, DoubleTree by Hilton offered a comfortable and luxurious stay. Another Hilton property is located inside Yala National Park but is more expensive.
Location:
Rating: 10/10
The resort is spacious and quiet, offering a peaceful environment. The surrounding lake is serene, perfect for meditation or relaxation on one of the patios. The swimming pool is large, clean, and includes a bar, though they don’t provide tubes, which would have been ideal for kids. However, there is a separate pool for children.
The area is not a city, so it’s recommended to include meals with your stay. The resort also features a club-like area offering hookah, drinks, a big screen, pool, and a karaoke room. This property is very kid-friendly. Being located near the Yala forest, it’s natural to encounter insects, but the housekeeping staff are friendly and quick to help if any are found in the room.
