Best Place to stay
El hotel es enorme y es muy agradable. La Piscina es increíble y además tiene parque para niños y más estancias verdes para estar tranquilo. El personal es muy amable.
Great pool and kids play area. The staff were attentive and helpful. The food was great - it felt like extra good authentic home cooking. Our room was spacious. We had a relaxing stay. We organised our safari through the hotel too and that was super easy.
Grounds were lovely and the food was awesome.
Fijn verblijf op een mooie afgelegen plek aan een riviertje. Groot zwembad en personeel is heel vriendelijk. Goed restaurant en leuke bediening, vooral Hasanthi heeft gezorgd voor een fijne sfeer. Op 10-15 minuten rijden van het dorpje met nog leuke opties om te eten. Dicht bij het park voor een safari.
Smukke omgivelser, dejligt værelse og badeværelse. Meget venligt personale
The staff was very friendly and the pool was huge and quiet. The kids loved the pool and playground. Food was very good.

Anlage sehr gepflegt Zimmer sehr sauber Personal kinderfreundlich und perfekt organisiert Pool sehr sauber und groß Restaurant sehr lecker Lage ganz nah am Nationalpark Absolute Empfehlung für dieses Hotel
Nichts
Bliskość parku narodowego, cisza, spokój, wygodne łóżka w których można było się wyspać przed porannym Safari. Bardzo smaczna kolacja w dobrej cenie. Będziemy basen w którym można zaznać relaksu przed i po zwiedzaniu :) Obsługa bardzo się stara o komfort gości
Fabulous
Very big and nice rooms. Really good pool for kids - with both shallow and deep water for adults. Staff is very friendly, they are also very flexible with breakfast on the day of safari visit.
They dont have baby cots available, but we imrpovised by moving the mattress on the floor.
Huge room, clean, lovely friendly staff and great food. Pool is fantastic and the grounds were beautiful.
Room configuration wasn’t quite right for a family of 4, a single and an extra large double. And not a negative but just be aware it’s out of town so harder to get other food options.
Pool, restaurant with monkeys and location to national park
The noise of them cutting grass all day disrupted the beautiful setting
Es war wirklich toll! Sehr schöne gepflegte Lodge und sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
The location was perfect, the property is very well maintained and beautiful. Staff is very nice and helpful.
The restaurant is a bit of a let down despite the amazing location and views from the deck! The breakfast is not exceptional, very basic. If dinner is a buffet style, worth the money, the A la Carte was very disappointing.
Rooms were fantastic quality and the location was superb. Staff very helpful.
Friendly staff, clean rooms, great pool and other facilities. Easy to book the safari with them.

Tolle, saubere Anlage, schönes großes Pool
Personal im Restaurant hat bei der Bedienung etwas verwirrt gewirkt
The staff were exceptional. The rooms a bit basic but you certainly got a Safari feel here at Doola River. We stayed 2 nights and enjoyed meals in the open air restaurant, spent lots of time in the pool and enjoyed the gardens with their beautiful plants. The Uda Walawe National Parkn is only a short drive away.
Nothing!
The gardens, playground and pool are very well maintained. The Hotel is great for kids. The rooms are spacious and beds comfortable.
The food in the restaurant was not to our taste. À la carte being better than the buffet, but has to be ordered at least an hour in advance.
The setting is lovely, right by the river with beautiful natural surroundings that make it feel peaceful and secluded. Waking up to the sound of the water and greenery all around was one of the highlights of our trip. So many fascinating animals too! The property itself is very well maintained, clean, and thoughtfully designed to blend with the environment. The rooms were comfortable and cosy, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It’s the perfect place to unwind and switch off from busy daily life. What really stood out was the atmosphere and hospitality. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The food was decent and enjoyable, though not quite at the same level as the rest of the experience. Still, it didn’t take away from what was otherwise an amazing stay. Overall, we had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend Doola River Edge to anyone looking for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway.
Struttura immersa in un'oasi spettacolare, tanto verde tutt'attorno. Posizione strategica per fare il safari nei dintorni. E' un resort di grandi dimensioni, le camere sono ampie e pulite, il ristorante serve buoni pasti a prezzi abbordabili. Anche la colazione è buona, anche se manca il dolce. Personale gentile e disponibile. Abbiamo potuto usufruire della piscina per qualche ora, anche dopo aver lasciato la stanza. Un soggiorno soddisfacente.

Staff were great, went the extra mile to help with all requests. Good location, nice room and a good pool

Lovely property! Extremely happy with the location, the rooms, and the staff! We were a large group and the staff took good care of us! The swimming pool is lovely after a hot safari day! Location is close to the safari as well. Highly recommend!
Très bel endroit entouré de verdure, parenthèse au calme, d'autant que nous étions très peu à y loger. Piscine très agréable et pratique avec un bébé qui pouvait avoir pied dans une des deux parties de la piscine. Personnel aux petits soins
Hodne lidi se snažilo nám pomáhat při našem pobytu. Skvělej bazén. O místo se dobře starají.
Huge room, lovely pool and tasty buffet dinner
Perfekt für klein Kinder! Sehr nah am national Park! Das Zimmer war groß und sauber, die Terrasse top!
Das Essen war ok.
Tout était parfait ! Une parenthèse de repos dans un espace verdoyant et chic.

Vi blev super positiv overrasket , et døgn til få penge og Max valuta for pengene
Die Unterkunft und di gesamte Anlage sind sehr schön gepflegt und laden zum Verweilen ein. Es gibt einen Spielplatz und somit ist es perfekt für Familien mit Kindern. Die Zimmer sind sehr sauber, geräumig und schön eingerichtet. Das Restaurant bietet Frühstück und Abendessen in Büffetform an. Absolut lohnenswert, da der nächste Ort etwas weiter weg ist. Das Essen ist aber sehr gut und die Preise völlig fair. Perfekter Ausgangspunkt für eine Safari im Udawalawe Nationalpark. Wir wurden abgeholt und waren innerhalb von 10 Minuten im Park. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich und bemüht.
Nichts zu bemängeln. Sollte es jemanden aber wichtig sein, Restaurant und Supermärkte in direkter Nähe zu haben, ist man halt eben etwas davon entfernt. Das Wifi ist sehr schwach.
Wspaniała obsługa i smaczne jedzenie
Some of the kindest and most accommodating staff we met during our stay in Sri Lanka! Rooms are comfortable, modern and spacious and the facilities are excellent.
Schöne, gepflegte Unterkunft, perfekt um eine Safari im Udawalawa-Nationalpark zu machen. Die Safari kann über das Hotel organisiert werden. Nettes Personal. Gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis beim Essen.
La piscine, le cadre et l'emplacement
Le bruit du surpresseur d'eau toute la nuit.
Well furnished, nice big rooms, great showers.
La gentillesse du personnel : nous avons été reçus comme des rois, ils ont tout fait pour rendre notre séjour incroyable, même fait quotidiennement des petites purées maison pour notre bébé.. les managers, les serveurs, le personnel de nettoyage, tous étaient vraiment adorables. Merci encore! La chambre était propre et spacieuse, avec un balcon face a la nature et des miliers d’oiseleuse. Les parties communes (piscines et terrain de jeu pour enfants) étaient parfaites pour une pause familiale.
Tolle Hotelanlage mit Pool mitten im Dschungel, sehr ruhig gelegen und perfekt als Ausgangspunkt für den Udawalawe Nationalpark. Obwohl wir nur ein Doppelzimmer gebucht hatten, bekamen wir wegen unseres kleinen Sohnes ein großzügiges Dreibettzimmer – sehr aufmerksam. Das Zimmer war sauber, geräumig und mit schönem Bad, gutem Wasserdruck, heißem Wasser sowie Klimaanlage und Ventilator ausgestattet, was die Nächte sehr angenehm gemacht hat. Freundlicher Empfang mit Begrüßungsgetränk und insgesamt nettes Personal.
Die Qualität des Frühstücks- und Dinnerbuffets war in Ordnung, wir hatten auf unserer Reise aber auch schon besser gegessen. Zudem beginnt das Dinner erst um 19 Uhr, was mit kleinem Kind etwas spät ist.
Tolles Hotel mitten in der Natur. super Pool , sehr sauber,100% Empfehlung komme nicht das erste mal dort hin und auch nicht das letzte mal der Natur und Ruhe sucht ist dort gut aufgehoben.
Alles super dort 👍
Virkelig flot sted og ekstremt venligt personale
The rooms were the cleanest we've seen in Sri Lanka and very spacious. The kids loved the big pool. The food was also really amazing, especially dinner, the best we had in Sri Lanka. We went out for dinner one night and regretted it, because the food at the hotel was really the best and not expensive at all.The staff was very knowledgeable, hospitable, and friendly. Special thanks to Hasanthi, who always welcomed us to the restaurant with a smile and made sure we and our children were well cared for. Even with a wound on her foot, she kept running back and forth all day serving food and drinks. Respect!
Honestly, absolutely nothing. If I had to think of anything, it would be that, like other accommodations in Sri Lanka, the shower water temperature is sometimes difficult to regulate because it relies on solar energy.
Doola River Edge ist ein wirklich toller Ort, vor allem für Familien! Das weitläufige Gelände mit Sielplatz und Pool bietet jede Menge Raum und Möglichkeiten für Kinder und Erwachsene, um sich zu entspannen oder auszutoben. Das Personal war extrem freundlich und hat sich sehr bemüht, uns jeden Wunsch zu erfüllen. Das Zimmer war super geräumig, sauber und modern eingerichtet, die Betten waren sehr bequem! Die Lage ist auch top, ringsum nur Natur, so dass es wunderbar ruhig und erholsam war.
Das Essen war gut, die Speisekarte ist vielfältig, könnte aber etwas kreativer sein. Ist aber kein großer Minuspunkt, wir haben alles genossen.
Excellent food and service. Will recommend and likely to stay again.
Der Pool und das großzügige Zimmer! Gute Safari gebucht!
Ein ruppiger Ton an der Rezeption, das muss echt nicht sein! Das essen war sehr lieblos
honestly? Much better than I expected. everything was great, exactly how I supposed to. The rooms were clean, personel was helpful, the bathrooms were equipped higher than I expected. also the water pressure - it was probably the best water pressure on our whole trip, so big plus. The food is also great, no matter is it breakfast, lunch or dinner. I can say that the dinners are the best.
none.
Really incredible rooms and property with a super huge pool. Really enjoyed sitting on our porch and watching birds. A great value too.
They don't sell alcohol, would have been nice to be able to order drinks by the pool or while at the property.
Très bel emplacement. Équipements de très bonne qualité. Et la piscine un vrai plus surtout avec des enfants. Le personnel était au petit soin.
The staff here are amazing, and the tour guide we had for our safari was brilliant, great stay for a family
Would have been good to have our room cleaned daily with a baby
Very beautiful lodge, very friendly and helpful people and really good food.
No fridge and they allow people from outside to celebrate there. We wanted to chill by the pool in the afternoon after our safari but there were 6 guys making a party directly next to the pool with really loud music and very annoying (observing us and animating husband to join them drinking). The hotel staff did their best but had problems to send them away. In the end they had to call the police. Without this it would have been an absolute perfect stay.
Die Unterkunft war perfekt! Großzügige Zimmer, bequeme Betten und alles sehr sauber. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und mega hilfsbereit, organisierte auch die Safari. Das Essen war super lecker. Wir haben uns sehr gut aufgehoben gefühlt.
Alles war super.
Amazing rooms
Lovely hotel and grounds. Very pretty and lovely rooms
The food wasn’t great.
Very clean and beautiful facilities. Huge room with very high ceilings and modern forniture. A very pleasant stay. The pool is very nice too. They arranged the safari in the early morning and provided a packet breakfast (paid)Very useful
Gute Anlage mit angenehmer Atmosphäre. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Essen war sehr gut. Die Unterkunft ist etwas abgelegen, dafür aber ruhig. Sehr geignet für einen Besuch im Nationalpark.
Prachtige locatie. Alles is ongelofelijk mooi en netjes. Wij hebben een safari geboekt via het hotel en we hadden een hele enthousiaste driver én een fantastische gids. Daardoor hebben we allerlei dieren gezien die we zelf niet gespot zouden hebben.
Staff is amazing
La chambre était spacieuse et confortable . Personnel prévenant et sympatique
The location was great, facilities available are great too and just overall a lovely place to spend the night!
The staff were brilliant and very keen to help. Such a peaceful location near the river and the rooms were a brilliant size. The safari arranged by the hotel was incredible and the driver was very kind and helpful making sure we had a good experience. The restaurant was very handy with tasty food. We would 100% come back to stay if we were in the area again.
Everything was great. Pool could have been slightly cleaner as there was a-lot of dead bugs.
Beautiful room with a view of the jungle. Pool was fantastic and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The staff arranged our safari trip and provided a packed breakfast for us to take.
The property location (not their fault) was a little far from anything. We would have enjoyed are stay more if there were other guests as it felt a bit lonely being the only ones in such a big hotel.
Had a packed breakfast as went on an early morning safari . Dinner the night before was freshly cooked ,superb curry dishes and very generous portions.
Hospitality, room size & location
Food spread & not accepting USD in cash.
Dark color water when first turning on the water facet and shower.
Great location and stunning rooms and facilities
Staff could be pushy and hard to communicate with
Tolle Anlage mit schönem Pool
Es gibt keinen Alkohol
Die Lage mitten in der Natur, die herzliche Ruhe,Das Personal ist absolut bemüht und freundlich, würde hier immer wieder übernachten
Een heerlijke plek om tot rust te komen. Heel schoon en ontzettend vriendelijk personeel. Het zwembad is ook heel schoon. Hiervandaan kan je goed de safari doen in Udawalawe National Park. De ticketprijs staat vast en het hotel regelde voor ons de Jeep met chauffeur (6 pers) voor 8.000 Lkr. Voor zover wij konden nagaan, een heel redelijke prijs. Hij kwam ons bij het hotel ophalen. We hebben ook de Elephant Transit Home bezocht 5 km verderop. Het enige nadeel was dat de houten stoelen erg hard zijn en geen kussen hebben. Maar dat hebben we op meer plekken in Sri Lanka gezien.
