    In my room I missed a little wardrobe or the possibility to keep my clothes outside my backpack.

    I liked my room and all the common areas. Everything was kept nicely with many plants. There is also an amazing meditation room and a yoga area on top of the roof with amazing views! Another detail was the water dispenser and the possibility to keep food in the fridge. Michael and all his team were amazing, thank you for letting me stay one night longer when I was feeling a little unwell. Breakfast was also amazing as served with lots of fruit and Sri Lanka food. Thanks for the amazing stay!

    The wifi is limited and very spotty, and so was my cell signal (Hutch) - it's a Sri Lankan problem in general, but just FYI in case you need to do work/calls. The location of course is both a plus and a minus, depending on what you are looking for -- it's far up in the hills so the view is amazing and it's quiet, and of course that also means it's not walkable if that's important to you; there's not much in the immediate vicinity. PickMe will be your best friend for food delivery and tuk tuks!

    Gorgeous property, amazing view, such a wonderful place for yoga and meditation nestled high in the hills. Breakfast was delicious. The owner Michael and the manager Krishan are so kind and unbelievably helpful. Definitely recommend, and I'd come back anytime if I'm on a proper vacation!

    This place is more than just a place for overnights. It is a platform for meeting interesting travelers and exchanging thoughts. Michael the owner himself is book full of inspiring stories, and Krishan his right hand man, a compassionate and knowledgeable man who can handle all situations. I had my ankle sprained while in Dambulla and the help I got from Michael, Krishan and their staff was extraordinary. I was even taken to an ayurvedic doctor the following day. I spent a full day staying in but had the chance to finally slow down and appreciate the beautiful and scenic envronment of Sanatha Suwaya, and talked to many beautiful souls as well. Though injured physically, my heart was open and my mind refreshed again!

    We loved our stay at Sanatha Suwaya ! The place is wonderful - super peaceful, intimate, and beautifully located in the hills. The architecture is refined, the rooms are very comfortable and clean, with stunning views of the vegetation. Michael was super welcoming, and we had great yoga and meditation sessions. An amazing place to rest & reconnect!

    The hotel is unique due to is stunning location and breathtaking view from every window. The co-owner Michel and manager Krishan were very friendly and helpful with arranging and advising for our further trip. We were positively surprised by the yoga and meditation classes that only added to our stay. Every staff member was welcoming and friendly, even when met outside of the hotel. Additional point has to be added for being eco-friendly and living in consonance with nature. That was really an amazing stay, thank you :)

    This was the most beautiful and peaceful place in Sri Lanka. The rooms are beautiful and comfortable, the views are phenomenal, but the best part is the yoga and meditation in the morning. It is a little bit far from the center, making it very quiet I should have stayed longer!

    We just simply loved every corner of this beutiful place. It's even more beautiful than in the pictures. It was like heaven for a yoga fan like me. I loved the morning yoga class in the beautiful open air classroom and then the meditation with Michael, he is a really nice person, who pays you so much attention. Krishan was also extremely friendly and helpful with all our requests and questions. The room was very spacious, nicely decorated and well equipped. It was great to have such a nice experience for a few days during our holiday in Sri Lanka & we would like to say thank you for that❤️

    From start to finish we felt so looked after. Our train was delayed but the communication with Michael really put us at ease. He went above and beyond to make sure we had some great food, and even gave us some great tips for the rest of our stay. The place is breath taking and the yoga and meditation rooms are incredibly special. An amazing place to stay to feel connected with nature.

    The location is a bit outside the city centre, but there’s no problem in getting a tuk-tuk (for which the staff is more than willing to provide assistance with) and you’ll get some peace in return!

    We had an amazing stay at Sanatha Suwaya! The staff is great, the view is beautiful, the breakfast is delicious, the rooms are tidy and the entire place itself is so peaceful. In the mornings, you can join yoga and meditation sessions, free of charge. And there are several nice spots to enjoy the view while drinking a cup of tea or reading one of the many great books laying around. Michael, Krishan and the other staff members were super friendly and very helpful in thinking along about our travel itenary. Thanks for the great care! :)
