The Kandy Samadhicentre

The Samadhi centre is a beautiful peaceful accommodation. The rooms are huge and well equipped, located next to a river and in the middle of nature. We stayed here when we arrived and it was perfect to rest for a few days. The super tasty local food is cooked everyday on request, the staff is super friendly and available to accommodate your needs.

Not much we didn't like. As there is always room for improvement maybe a little booklet in room to explain how things work and what to do within the center and maybe in the surroundings. A map of the place (quite big) would be good too.

It's without doubt a beautiful place. The dining hall has some Harry Potter ambience, specially in the evening when the oil lamps are lit. Staff is very friendly and food very good and authentic Srilankan. If you want something else for a change, it's a good place. This place could be like an ashram. It has the perfect location, quietness and solitude. Nature is very abundant and the river inside compound is lovely.

Though the place is remote, it's still close to a road with cars, tuktuks, ,... So at some houses in the compound you can still hear the traffic. I could stay in the highest room on the mountain and it was very peaceful. This place could be like an ashram. It's a pity they still serve/ provide/ allow alcohol (and smokes!). This has an impact on the atmosphere and for that reason I wouldn't go there anymore.

Wonderful experience of being in the forest. The houses immersed in nature and the design of all the spaces are beautiful. We constantly discovered new terraces and rooms. The guests are fun as it attracts interesting people who like yoga and isolated retreats.

While the location architecture and design are incredible, the organisation is rather confused. We only found out when receiving the bill that yoga classes were not included for instance. The rooms and houses can be quite isolated and are reached by dark steep paths and stairs which are very slippery when it rains so it is really important to ask where you will be staying if you are a solo traveller or have any even minor mobility issues. It probably should be experienced as a retreat

The environment & design of this place gives an experience not easily found elsewhere... Stayed just one night but a longer stay could transport you to a world apart.

The fact that most other places / (and tourists) are still using single-use plastic.

I loved everything!! It’s a paradise. You’re in the middle of the jungle, in a big and comfortable house, with delicious food and a super service. The staff is absolutely perfect, nice, helpful. The center has some pets, like adorable dogs, very friendly and nice, I miss them! If you don’t like dogs, don’t worry, the place is big enough :) I miss the time I soent there and I recommend everybody to go there!
