Alles scheint ok zu sein fuer eine Nacht. Sauberkeit mehr oder weniger ok, man muss bedenken, dass man in Sri Lanka ist! Ich wollte meine sehr späte Ankunft telefonisch ankündigen, konnte den Herrn von der Rezeption am Telefon aber nur sehr schlecht verstehen. Aber ich denke, ich konnte alles mitteilen. Ein früherer Aufenthalt war auch zufriedenstellend! ##### Ralph Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### SEON HEE Apr 18, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort 여태묵던. 숙소중에ㆍ최악숙소ㆍ 평점안따지고ㆍ위치안. 봤는데. 가지맙시다 ㆍ완젼 후회 ㆍ ##### SEON HEE Stayed 1 night in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### michele Feb 6, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort J'ai eu une chambre individuelle .

Man fick inga lakan att sova i. Enbart underlakan för inte sova direkt på madrassen. Frukosten var ett stekt ägg och tre brödskivor. Jag är ändå nöjd för vi betalade inte för mer. Men förvarning om man satsar på bättre. ##### Martin ### 8/10 Good #### Amori, Brussel Feb 24, 2018 Liked: Staff & service #### Gemakkelijk backpack hotel Een leuk hotel als je wat goedkoper wenst te gaan. Perfect voor gewoon je nachtrust op te zoeken. WiFi aanwezig en het hotelpersoneel is vriendelijk en doen hun best met het spreken van Engels. ##### Amori Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Flemming Jan 14, 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort #### Kort transitophold. Backpack Lanka var et ok sted for en enkelt nat på et begrænset budget, men der er ikke den store luksus, og jeg ville ikke anbefale det til et længerevarende ophold. Vi ankom omkring midnat og checker id næste formiddag, for at rejse væk fra Colombo, så jeg kan ikke rigtigt sige noget om området, hvor det ligger. ##### Flemming Stayed 1 night in Jan 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ashleigh Jul 7, 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Ok for one night only Wasn't made clear at the time of booking that there wasn't a window in the room, tainted our stay massively, staff were friendly and very helpful, AC unit was powerful and wifi was ok. Breakfast was good, simple fried egg on toast. ##### Ashleigh Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2017 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jun 7, 2017 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Not great The room smelled bad when I arrived and the walls are thin so hear noise from other guests throughout the night. Bathrooms and showers are clean and staff are friendly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### xzzzz, colombo Apr 20, 2017 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Decent place for overnight sleep.Ac and wifi works I got what I needed. Just a place to sleep. Bonus was the hot water and working wifi. no windows was minus. ##### xzzzz ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christine Feb 7, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good place Very reasonable for budget travellers. ##### Christine ### 4/10 Poor #### Jennifer Nov 19, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities #### Good location everything else meh The location was the only redeeming factor of this property. It is very easy to get to and from many places. When I arrived at 2am, which I put in the special notes about late arrival. The door was locked. I needed to wake up the night staff to check in. The check in was a bit long and I was just given my key. When I arrived to the room there was a musty smell that just didn't go away. The room is small (4 female dorm). There are no lockers for safe keeping of your stuff. Also there is only one sheet on there bed. They don't even provide you with a top sheet. It does get chilly with the AC on which you certainly need, as there is no window in the room. The bathing area is disjointed and not very clean at all. I was not super happy. The water was cool on most days even when they say hot water. I would not recommend this place. ##### Jennifer ### 6/10 Okay #### Jennifer Nov 17, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bare bare bones The place could use a thorough cleaning. I was in a 4 person female dorm. They never once came to change sheets after a guest left. There was a significant lack of toilet paper in the bathrooms. The bathrooms were not the cleanest. The set up was a bit weird as well. Toilets across from the showers. There was no place to change in the showers or even hooks to hang your towel. I was told it was no frills. That is exactly what it is. Also they lock the door on the evening so if coming back late you will need to wake the attendant. If you're okay with bare bones, then this is okay. The location was very awesome. That was the only benefit of this place. ##### Jennifer ### 6/10 Okay #### Mikael, Close to city center and railway stations. Nov 7, 2016 Disliked: Room comfort #### Great start for the weekation. Good ##### Mikael ### 2/10 Terrible #### Shayan, Bangkok Jul 18, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Worst two hours ever Was a short stay, only two hours but the worst two hours. Bad service and I think we were double charged. We paid through hotels.com but receptionist also asked for cash! ##### Shayan ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Apr 6, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Backpacker ställe Det är verkligen ett ställe man mellanlandar på. staden Colombo har inte mycket att erbjuda och är stökig, men Backpacker Lanka har jättetrevlig personal, gratis lankesisk frukost och finns tillgängliga dygnet runt. Duscharna är rena och toaletterna lika så :) ##### Verified traveller ### 6/10 Okay #### Adel Apr 6, 2016 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort It was good experience ##### Adel ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Feb 21, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### Trevlig personal och bra läge Mycket trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Vandrarhemmet ligger väldigt bra till nära en galleria och affärer. Det är gångavstånd till flera ställen, Galle Face green, parken etc ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### world traveller, aust Feb 10, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good position in the city No water pressure 2 floo No windows cant tell day or night no fresh air needs fresh circulating air inside no natural light coming in. Breaky is a bit dismal not worth eating but most of asia is like that too much oil and sugar ##### world traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jan 5, 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 一泊でも連泊でも利用価値の高い立地 １人でドミトリーに一泊だけ滞在しました。部屋はエアコンが効いてて、ベッドも清潔で快適でした。 ２段ベッドが２台の４人部屋でしたが、宿泊者一人一人にカギが渡されるようで、ちゃんと部屋にカギをかけることができました。 てっきり水シャワーだと思っていましたが、２つあるシャワーのうちの１つはお湯が出ます。欧米人が出たすぐ後にシャワーを使いましたが、熱々のお湯が最後までちゃんと出ました。暑いコロンボではありますが、ポイント高いと思います。ただし、脱衣場はありません。 トイレもシャワーとは別に２つあります。洗面台も２つありますが、こちらは水がちょろちょろとしか出ないので、歯磨きなどの時にはボトルの水を使いました。 スリランカのほかの都市と比べ物価の高いコロンボで、割安のドミトリーにはそれだけでも魅力があります。しかも立地が非常に良く、利用価値の高い宿だと思います。 ##### Verified traveller ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Jan 2, 2016 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A very untidy hostel This hostel was the worst I've ever been to. When we first got there, after it took the tuktuk driver 45 min to find the place, there was a dead cockroach waiting for us on the floor. The room was very untidy, the whole hostel was, and it smelled awful there. We didn't get towels like we were supposed to. The bathrooms and showers were not that bad but you could tell that nobody cleaned them for the two nights we stayed. The staff was ok, one guy helped us to find a place to eat and was polite. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hard Rock Hotel Riviera Maya - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Aventuras-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-Riviera-Maya-All-Inclusive.h447258.Hotel-Information) > > [Hard Rock Hotel San Diego](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Diego-Hotels-Hard-Rock-Hotel-San-Diego.h1731557.Hotel-Information) > > [3 Pines Lodge Muskoka](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-3-Pines-Lodge.h73650681.Hotel-Information) > > [Tower Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Quesnel-Hotels-Tower-Inn-And-Suites.h881262.Hotel-Information) > > [The Kingsbury Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-The-Kingsbury-Colombo.h19910.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Interlaken](https://www.expedia.ca/Interlaken-Hotels.d6052439.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Cinnamon-Lakeside-Colombo.h2281.Hotel-Information) > > [Shangri-La Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Shangri-La-Colombo.h19414242.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour House](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Harbour-House.h1675928.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Windsor-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d6127335-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Best Western Plus Hotel Massena Nice](https://www.expedia.ca/Nice-Hotels-Best-Western-Plus-Hotel-Massena-Nice.h441498.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunshine Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Gibsons-Hotels-Sunshine-Lodge.h9725046.Hotel-Information) > > [Pomeroy Hotel and Conference Centre Fort St. John](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-St-John-Hotels-Pomeroy-Hotel-And-Conference-Centre-Fort-St-John.h7653132.Hotel-Information) > > [Platinum One Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Platinum-One-Suites.h14687630.Hotel-Information) > > [Fun Holiday Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Negril-Hotels-Fun-Holiday-Beach-Resort.h3658424.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Banff National Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Banff-National-Park-Hotels.0-l602291-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels with Free Airport Shuttle in St. John's](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Johns-Hotels-Hotels-With-Free-Airport-Shuttle.0-0-d181832-tHotelswithFreeAirportShuttle.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Mandarina Colombo](https://www.expedia.ca/Colombo-Hotels-Mandarina-Colombo.h17399512.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Cairo (CAI) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cai/yyz/cairo-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Lisbon District (LIS) to Porto (OPO)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lis/opo/lisbon-to-porto) > > [Swoop Abbotsford (YXX) to Las Vegas (LAS) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/swoop-from-abbotsford-intl-to-harry-reid-intl/wo/yxx/las) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Québec City (YQB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/yqb/montreal-to-quebec) > > [Flights from Minneapolis - St. Paul (MSP) to Winnipeg (YWG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/msp/ywg/minneapolis-to-winnipeg) ### Activities ### Packages > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations)
