Très bon massage, très bonne chambre
Màque de clarté sur les prix et services et mauvaise.surprise le jour de la réception de la facture... je déconseille cet établissement pour des touristes de passage. Ce n'est pas adapté si vous ne souhaitez pas suivre de traitements ayurvediques ou autres.
Det var en fantastisk flott opplevelse, og spesielt på grunn av omgivelsene og personale. Dette magiske stedet anbefales på det aller sterkeste.
Das One bhakthi ist ein aussergewöhnlicher Ort mit sehr lieben Menschen, tollen Kursen (kalari breathing, yoga), ayurvedischen Treatments, Events und sehr viel Authentizität. Wir fühlten uns dort so wohl, sodass wir ein zweites Mal zurückkamen und gerne wiederkommen!
I loved the breakfast and the shala!
I was waken up by the noise from the road: the place is on a turn of busy road, so I was woken up several times at night by vehicles passing and honking. I also found the room too hot, AC would make the experience much better.
I had a really meaningful stay here. The property is surrounded by lush nature and has a very peaceful atmosphere, perfect for slowing down and disconnecting. It’s not just accommodation but a place focused on wellbeing — I tried the Marma therapy and found it to be a very interesting and powerful experience. During my first week there was a YTT 200 training, so I couldn’t always join classes, but I appreciated being able to use the shala when it wasn’t busy. Once the regular schedule resumed, the classes were very good, especially with Jules. A special thank you to Jules for always being kind and helpful, and to Nazir for the insightful conversations that gave me a lot to reflect on. Breakfast was absolutely delicious, there are many great local restaurants nearby, and the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming. The room was beautiful, the bed very big and comfortable — and as a bonus, there are lots of cats around! Overall, a place to rest, learn and recharge.
Maybe that you need a tuk tuk every time you want to go to Ahangama but it’s a short and cheap ride
Świetnie miejsce. Prowadzone przez wspaniałych ludzi:) z dala od głównej ulicy więc w miarę spokojnie i cicho. Poranne zajęcia jogi z Jules polecam bardzo. No i najlepsze to co mnie tam spotkało to masaż koniecznie u Nishal. Jeden z najlepszych masazy w zyciu i skorzystałam też z sesji sauny. Cudownie. Bardzo polecam to miejsce
Miałam pokój bez klimatyzacji wiec było ciężko troche spać.
El personal un 10, sempre disposades a ajudar i et fan sentir com a casa. Vam arribar a les 5 del matí sense previ avís i van estar encantades d’atendrens i ens van ajudar en tot el que van poder
Una mica allunyat del centre, quasi sempre has dagafar tuktuk. Esmorzar bastant justet i poca varietat
Everything. Comfortable beds. Spacious room. Loved the yoga studio and the classes were very good. Made most special by everyone who ran the property - really loving and vibrant energy. The Mose unassuming wonderful stay and such amazing value for money

Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt! Soo leckeres Frühstück; liebe, zuvorkommende Menschen. Genau richtig um zur Ruhe zu kommen.
Atmosfären, personalen, yoga, aturveda behandling, frukosten,
Ganska mycket ljud på mornarna från gatan, dåligt tryck i duschen.
You never know what a place will be like from the photos and description. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose when it comes to online bookings. Well, One Bhakti was one of those very pleasant surprises. I expected it would be nice, but it was far better than I expected. The energy and vibe there was so pure and comforting. Everything about the accommodation was clean and beautiful. We loved our room and the balconies. I especially loved the temple feel and the yoga shala. As a devoted yoga practitioner and lover of yogic spirituality, One Bhakti was the first place to give me that deep connected feeling to the practice and its roots since moving here from India. The meals were wholesome and delicious. It was also a great location. Close to the ocean and downtown, but in a peaceful neighborhood. From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, my partner and I were warmly welcomed and treated like family, while also feeling like we had plenty of space and privacy. We felt at home, and I received the peace and rejuvenation that I was seeking. We are looking forward to our next visit!
We liked everything.
The lovely lady offered yoga and we really enjoyed it. It was peaceful and relaxed. The house was lovely. .

The location was amazing for me close to the sea yet the feeling of jungle and animals took me in top serendipity. I was waving monkeys ‘hi’ every morning. I stayed more than 10 days, felt like home. The girls were very helpful and positive, juls, the owner she was very kind whenever I needed anything she offered the help and support. Peaceful and happy place, I will go back one day. So much love for this experience 🌙🌸
The staff here are really great and make sure your stay is aimed at what you want to get out of the trip. I practiced yoga, went in the ice baths, sauna and had a guided meditation along with a massage with sound bath - I loved all of this! Breakfast every morning was great and a nice opportunity to meet the other guests at the hotel.
Location is a little far out walking but a short Tuk Tuk away and if you don’t mind walking the closest beach is around 20 minutes away.
Everything: the homy feeling once we got there, the serene place, the lush garden, the comfi room, the good WiFi, the super tasty breakfast, the yoga classes, the ice bathes, the evening events, and of course the staff - who was incredibly welcoming and accommodating.
Way more than a place to stay, an extremely generous experience! From the spacious room, the quiet corners all around the house to have a rest, to active breathing and yoga in the morning, through delicious meals and profound healing offerings.. many blessings! Located in a quiet village but not far from the many beaches, restaurants and activities that Ahangama has to offer, the stay was complete!
The place was gorgeous and clean, with a very welcoming vibe and lots of chill spots. It was perfect for a solo traveller who wanted to relax, do yoga, and enjoy the coastline. The morning breathwork and yoga classes were a treat. The food was also delicious.
I booked a room without AC, which as to be expected, was very hot.
It was. Ice property but I thought was too much for the location and the quality of place . Breadsticks was good
Loud music from villa next door from midnight to 2am
Amazing place with lovely people! It was so nice because the house and people felt more like a big family, than just a "place to stay". We were really taking care of. Besides, there are many activities (Yoga, Meditation, Ice Baths) that you can join. What I really loved is that there is an extra small kitchen with a fridge and bottles of drinking water in every floor of the house! Special thanks to Jules for making us feel so welcomed and understood on many levels!
One Bhakthi felt like living in a peaceful share house. I had lots of personal space but there were always great people around to chat to or go into town with. The room was huge and the communal spaces are lovely.
My only 'dislike' if you can call it that, was that it was quite far to food options and shops and tuks were hard to get but if you had a scooter or bicycle you'd be fine so really just a lesson for me.
Peaceful location, spiritual vibe and nice people. Very clean and homely.
It was all good
Really enjoyed my stay, from the welcoming vibes to the decor of the rooms, food and company. I joined in on the Vedic fire ceremony as it was Poya when I stayed, lovely to be in ceremony. I had a Marma Vidya treatment too, highly recommend if you're ready to shift some stuff and get reset!
Home, not a Hotel This place has a warm atmosphere and great people. I enjoyed doing meditational practices and cold plunges as well as my energy healing massage. The villas is big and spacious, has a garden and all the facilities you need. Staying there felt like it was a family house and I’m very grateful to my hosts for this. Would definitely recommend!
Beautiful yogi villa with amazing vibe. Personnel treats you like family, so the stay is comfortable and pleasant they prepare very healthy, big and tasty breakfast for me. You can also book yoga lessons, physiotherapy, ice bath and other extra treatments there during your stay. Room was specious and very cute.
Lack of AC, my room was on the last floor and it was really hot.
Super friendly hosts, rooms are big and clean. Great place to stay as a solo traveler and the courses for yoga, sound meditation etc make it super interesting. Took my first icebath here and ask the owner for marma therapy.. you will be in for a treat.
It was perfect
Everything!. You can feel positive energies from the first moments and day by day is stunning realising how they overwhelm any stressful thought or burden. Just sup a cup of tea under the porch and embrace the vibes. The staff is very gentle, lovely and always ready to help guests and to do their best to make them feel comfortable, at home! The food is amazing (they also arranged a dinner with some friend of mine!!), definitively the best local food in Ahangama! Don’t miss their additional services, ice bath+breath-work (wonderful experience!!), massages, marma therapy... The position is far from the main costal road and that means quiet nights. Super clean!
Nothing
Everything and the owners ♥️
Very nice place, stuff is very kind and price ok!
Quite happy with the location, cleanliness, friendly staff, and general facilities but I thought the breakfast (for which I paid separately as I did not book with breakfast) could have been slightly better.
I knew it was a vegetarian place and that was perfectly okay with me but I thought it was far from reaching a basic simple breakfast one would expect to have.
nice vibe, confortable bed snd hot water
Our stay at this uncommon urban retreat was nothing short of magical. Initially, my wife had reservations and apprehensions, but as time passed, she fell in love with the place even more than I did. It offered a serene, nature-friendly, and blissfully relaxed atmosphere amidst the bustling city. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with a warm welcome by Nadine, who showered us with genuine hospitality throughout our stay. Her graciousness and attentiveness made our experience truly memorable. The calmness that enveloped this hidden gem was truly remarkable. It provided the perfect escape from the chaos of city life, offering a peaceful haven where we could unwind and rejuvenate. Surrounded by nature and cats 🐈🐈⬛, we were able to disconnect from the outside world and truly immerse ourselves in tranquility. This uncommon urban stay turned out to be a delightful surprise for both of us. It exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are grateful for the wonderful memories we created during our time there. Thank you to Nadine for creating such a special retreat. We highly recommend this place to anyone seeking a serene and unforgettable experience amidst the city. 🙏
It's better to make the rooms' curtains a bit thicker.
The location was quiet and peaceful.
The room curtains were too thin to block the morning light and don't even cover the windows properly. There was a glass fixed in the ceiling through which light comes in the room that disturbs your sleep. The water pump was not working properly.
We spend a very relaxed time here, it was like a retreat! And on the top we can’t believe we’re still in Colombo, the area around is so relaxed and calming, you have an access to garden and you feel like you’re in jungle- completely untouched area with various birds they wake you up in the morning. Here enough places to spend some time outside of the room for you alone or in common. There is yoga everyday, you can spend some time with the lovely 3 cats and enjoy a really good sri lankan breakfast. The staff is like a small family and let you feel like friends all the time.
Vegan breakfest, joga class, local cats. Very nice people in hotel.
Run by supernice people. I did a private yoga class with Nadine. Great class. We could stall our suitcases there while travelling Sri Lanka and it felt so trustworthy. Happy to recommend to anybody.

Very big and clean room, the balcony is great. Quiet place and neigbourghood. Birds and squirels around. Kind staff. Thank you for the ceremony.
Advice for improvement: Limonade should not be 1$ but better served as a welcome drink. The soup as well 1$ is not necessary, specially when it is suggested during breakfast time and no mention is made on the price. Personally I don't care much but you have to improve this to make your staying experience even better. Thank you for the great stay.
Super caring staff including the three cats :) it was lovely! Can’t wait to come back!
Excellent stay! I wish I could stay longer.
Nothing at all!
Best experience enjoyed all staying
Great place with a good vibe.Great hospitality and friendly owner.
very comfortable for home . No sound ,silence all around . Being a residential area feels good.
Lots of misters around the house. And lots of mosquitoes in this house. I could not sleep properly because of this. This is the big problem of this house. And the distance from this house to the airport is very far and any transport is very far and any tourist spots are very far.There are no good restaurants or eateries around this house.
Wonderful stay here. Quiet, clean and modern. Host was great too. Highly recommend.
