Lazy Koala Reviews

Lazy Koala is the ultimate backpacker dream -- with swimming pool, rooftop panorama terrace, massive spaces, and trendy design -- a luxury boutique accommodation for the price of a hostel!

The Location

The choice of the location is quite interesting. While every single backpacker accommodation of Hikkaduwa is to the north of the train station, Lazy Koala is to the south in a completely nontouristy area, which might even come across as less attractive to some people. In fact, the turtle beach would be a good, half-an-hour walk from here, while all the nice cafes and restaurants are even a bit further. The idea of the owners is probably that once you pick this place, you will probably want to stay here using all the facilities the whole day. It also feels more quiet and private here.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The rooms feel really private, even despite being dorms. They tend to be smaller -- four beds are the norm -- and there is plenty of place around the beds for your bags. You even get a balcony overlooking the sea and an en suite bathroom, which -- just like the bathroom -- is impeccably clean. Wi-Fi is perfect and the beds all come with individual plugs.

Common Spaces

The amount and quality of the common spaces are what make Lazy Koala so special. First of all, it is surrounded by a huge garden, which also accommodates the massive swimming pool and poolside area. There is also an amazing rooftop lounge area with a fantastic ocean panorama around. On the ground floor, there is a really stylish dining-and-chilling space. Moreover, on each floor, there are beanbags and a massive area just for chilling around. The photos of the owner hanging all over the place also add to the special vibe here. Whatever your needs and preferences, you will definitely find the perfect corner to relax at Lazy Koala!

Summary

Even if this place is slightly more expensive than your average backpackers, you should definitely not miss out on the experience to treat yourself to something amazing like this. Apart from the location, which might or might not be to your taste, everything else is five star and is guaranteed to make you want to stay forever!
