Sambogaya Boutique Hostel & Retreat Venue

"Staying at Sambogaya was a deeply relaxing and nourishing experience. The energy of the place is calm, mature, and genuinely respectful, you can feel that a lot of care and integrity has gone into creating it. Everything felt wholesome, considered, and spacious, allowing me to truly rest and settle. From the atmosphere to the people, the whole experience felt balanced and grounding. I left feeling refreshed, at ease, and very grateful for my time there. Highly recommended."

"This is such a special place that I hold very close to my heart. Imagine, I was only there for one evening and I just I can't wait to go back. It was absolutely magical from the moment I arrived till the moment I left.You can't beat the location of Sambogaya, it is literally on the doorstep to the Tor (a 20-30 min walk up) and really close to town too. I was so lucky that I got to join in with the monthly Kirtan in the stunning temple room just after I arrived and really felt at home in the community space. Francis was the best host ever. He was so accomodating and down to earth, giving me hint's and tips about the area and he even sorted me out with some breakfast when I mentioned I was heading for a sunrise walk up to the Tor very early and then leaving to go to an event straight after that. The kitchen is gorgeous with ample space for a few people to get on with cooking, making drinks and food prep etc. I had the the Fibonacci room to myself and it was really cosy and perfect for my needs. Loved that I could wash my face and brush my teeth without leaving the room. Had a lovely warm shower in the bigger bathroom and genuinely have nothing negative to say about the place. I didn't explore the building or other outdoor areas due to a tight schedule but at least I have that to look forward to when I return. If you do go don't forget to turn the prayer wheels xxx"

"Usually, when I book a room online, I'm disappointed upon arrival. Things often look so much better in the photos than they do in reality. In Sambogaya, it was the opposite. The place is even more beautiful in reality than in the pictures. With great attention to detail, the owners have created a place where you immediately feel at home, and you can meet wonderful people around the large table in the very well-equipped kitchen. The house is perfectly located for hiking to the Tor or going into town. I highly recommend a stay in Sambogaya."

"Amazing stay. Great venue, staff and host. Felt very welcome, at home, safe and at peace. Exactly what I needed and more. Highly recommend this welcoming community feel hostel with all the space to follow your own flow and be in your own bubble. A heartfelt thank you Francis ❤️"

"What a great location for exploring Glastonbury from a gorgeous venue. Sambogaya is a fabulously chic house with several rooms, and a separate self-contained room. Guests can access a shared kitchen to cook and we stayed in the Chestnut Suite, which has its own kitchen area. Francis and Dora are brilliant hosts and we will definitely be back one day."
