Smelly gents toilets. Old and unfriendly (some drunk) (no backpackers travellers), music from and TV members until very late and loud. I've even asked to put it down and they said they won't hear if it's quieter (since they were old) That was at 23.30am. Very old mattresses. And sheets too. Some of these residents were also fighting (drunk joke) with other residents. (Not nice to see)

The host was friendly and they offered cleaned towels

There were some odd characters staying there, appeared to be living there and not travellers. Singing at 7 am, making disturbing sounds with lotion.

Location, facilities, and staff were excellent

The lockers are to small to stay for a week nevertheless a month. The toilets are not very well maintained and very small. The kitchen is always dirty, not because of the hostess, but because the other guests don't clean up after themselves.

Each bed had its own power point for charging your phone. The hostess was very friendly and helpful.

The kitchen and the braai place is too small.

I liked the place what needs that the kitchen needs to be neat and there must be someone to clean it. The accommodation was good. It was satisfied. Also tent must be few not more than five.

Payment was made online for accommodation and breakfast. Upon check-in I was told to repay the establishment and ask Booking.com for a refund. Not sure why, but regardless it didn't happen. I prepaid for breakfast every morning, was asked what time in the morning I need it but it was rarely on time for me to go to my work at 8am. I asked to cancel the remaining breakfasts and was told I won't get a refund. After 14 nights of staying there I still wasn't sure who the staff members were. I feel the basics for a superb establishment is lacking. A feeling of 'tiredness' hangs in the upkeeping and atmosphere. 1 or 2 nights as a cheap vacation stay will do, but not more.

The location is truly awesome.

Staff was rude and uncompromising

A bed to sleep was a place to sleep. Very minimal.

Everything, Bad smell everywhere,rooms toilets and showers. 2 male toilets for all those people. Bedding was not fresh, rooms was not clean. The worst Backpakers I have stayed at this far. So bad, that I only stayed 1night but paid for 2. The crowd that stayed there looked long term and very unfriendly and hostile. I would never recommend this place. You should remove it from the website

This is an amazing place for a break from everyday busy life. It was an awesome stay. Everything up to standards would recommend anyone to go take your family and friends and go and enjoy.

The hostel has recently changed hands and the new owners have plans to re vamp the hostel. At the moment it is tired and dated looking and needs some fresh light coloured paint and some work in the bathroom and kitchen. ...but for me these things are not so important. The location,space,cleanliness kindness and company made my stay very special.

A traditional hostel experience. Welcoming ,kind and helpful new owners,staff and other people staying there long term. Great company, quiet,comfortable bed,restful sleep. Clean and tidy. Tourist information and help,Pool table, games,T.V,large communal lounge area and separate large kitchen and dining area., small veranda to sit ,smoke and watch the world go by. Great location.

truly the worst accommodation I’ve ever been in. I’ve never felt so unsafe and disgusting. the men were using and trashing the women’s restroom. I was in the ten bed dorm. my bed was broken and mattress falling through. there was one guy coughing and gaggging and throwing up out the window all night. the other guys would yell at each other throughout the night. they all seemed to be living there. there were no other travelers. I once slept in a bed full of moths and I would prefer that over this hostel.
