"Very Good"

7.0

The concept and story work. Great location. Great staff.

Checking in could have been smoother. The breakfast process was weird. We had to buy our own milk for coffee. Otherwise a beautiful local business that i was proud to support

Um hostel completamente integrado com a comunidade do Soweto e com mulheres incríveis fazendo sua estadia ser o mais agradável possível. A equipe é extremamente amigável. O café da manhã foi pago a parte, mas valeu muito a pena (simplesmente delicioso 😋). Você tem a opção de fazer todas as refeições no local, tendo a oportunidade de conhecer a culinária da região por preços acessíveis. Não posso deixar de mencionar aquela fogueira que te convida a ter tantas conversas (que podem ser acompanhadas de uma deliciosa cerveja local ou um drink divertido!) 🥰

"Une parenthèse enchantée dans un quartier de Johannesburg à découvrir d’urgence."

9.0

Séjour très agréable à Lebo’s Soweto Backpackers. Nous y avons même passé deux nuits de plus. Le petit déjeuner était délicieux, le personnel, jeune et dynamique, était aux petits soins. Mention spéciale au tour à vélo de quatre heures dans Soweto. Et aux cuisinières hors pair. Un autre Johannesburg à découvrir incessamment.

Franchement, je ne vois pas. Notre séjour était parfait tel quel. Merci encore à toute l’équipe.

L’accueil était très chaleureux! Les services: coin de chilling, un bar, restaurant, table de pool, 2 cuisines, etc. Le tour de tuk tuk offert à l’établissement était vraiment enrichissant et intéressant! C’était sécuritaire!

Nous avons trouvé que c’était tout de même cher pour un hostel. C’était mal insonorisé.

"Excellent"

8.0

Os funcionários são incríveis, além de toda estrutura da hospedagem! É um lugar extremamente acolhedor onde faz você viver Soweto.

O espaço entre a beliche debaixo e de cima é muito pequeno, impossibilitando ficar sentado na cama e dando uma sensação ruim quando acordo.

"A home away from home"

10.0

This is an absolute gem of a hostel. The staff are all brilliant and made us feel like we were family coming home to Soweto (especially Tebza, Lilger, and D!). They truly make this place very very special. If you do one thing in South Africa, make sure you stay here to experience Soweto and learn from the locals. A highlight was evenings around the fire sharing stories. The rooms were very clean and comfortable, the food was delicious, and there was also a well equipped kitchen if you want to make your own food. Make sure you book the bike tour too.
