Guest Reviews

• Jessica (7/5): - La ubicación y La atención del recepcionista son muy buenas. Yo mido 1,50cm y la ducha de chicas tenía muy alto el grifo y era imposible hacerlo yo. Siempre tenía que pedir ayuda! Si lo pueden arreglar seria de agradecer.
• Iaroslav (10/5): - Friendly and cheerful staff, flexible approach to the client, the opportunity to have a normal snack at the table 😁👌👌 Zero👌😁
• Cheikh rouhou (8/5): -
• YUZURU (10/5): I want go back next time - I just stayed one day but I could enjoy drink Kava with friendly staff.I recommend also Bluewater lodge.Vina’a va’aLevu
• Nina (5/5): If you need a cheap one night stay it’s okay. I wouldn’t stay there for more than few nights.. -
• Sven (10/5): -
• Brice Neveservette (10/5): - The service staff and the place is a 100% worth a vacation. Beautiful view and all amenities available around. Recommended for any single or couple gateway. No comment
• Luke (8/5): Very Good place to stay for the Price - Value for the money Like it
• Rowena (8/5): Great stay. - 24/7 reception, book swap, private room. Light outside the room is too bright.
• Golden Picasso (8/5): - Very helpful front-office staff.
• Tomáš (7/5): - Really noisy during the night
• Catrin (5/5): - Location is perfect and it was good value for money The shower and running water never worked it was so frustrating
• Dantin Philippe (8/5): - L'emplacement est parfait, simple propre et conviviale Pas assez de WC et douche
• Julia (6/5): Fine for one night but no locks - Decent for the price. When asked to change room, the manager was very accomodating. Close to the beach. There is no key for the dorms, which means the door stays open all the time. I didn't feel safe sleeping there without locks, nor leaving my stuff there. They are lockers but they don't fit most standard locks. The room I was changed to was noisy.
• Maria Lucila (7/5): -
• Pratheep (3/5): could't sleep due to bugs - Location bugs all over. No water most of the time.
• McGoon (7/5): -
• Koji (8/5): -
• Antonio (4/5): - Good position, supermarket nearby Very dirty and noisy
• Golden Picasso (8/5): Enjoyable. - Check-in quick, room/bed clean, food and drink cloe-by. Lighting did not work in my part of the dorm.
• Jack (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Antonio (4/5): -
• Paul (4/5): Some one stole my towel. - Be low average No rest relex room tea etc
• Vaughan (7/5): -
• Jandi (8/5): -
• Ryan (8/5): Great value!! Would stay again - Nice staff, great location near the airport and in an area with cheap food. It was a bit noisy at night. Windows must stay open in the dorms given the heat and there were people outside late into the night.
• Nazorean (6/5): -
• Sandra (8/5): -
• Alfred (8/5): Comfortable - I liked how cozy the capsules were and look forward to coming back to use the capsules when travelling. Some of the doors for the bathroom facilities didnt have proper locks.
• Rosa M. (8/5): Nice place but bad WiFi 😥 - The room was nice and everything was clean. Just next to the beach, too! The staff is very helpful and nice. The WiFi is very bad, they need to improve this. I have to work and it was a nightmare for me not to have a real access to internet. I had to go and find a place outside to work, which is not good because you cannot work as much as you would, if you have plenty access to a good connection at “home”. If you know, you know. But besides that, everything was great 😊
• Simon (5/5): - Booked a single room with aircon. Everything is pretty old and run down.
• Dantin Philippe (8/5): -
• Júlia (10/5): -
• Carol (7/5): Cheap price also means… - Cheap price, hotel on bus route. People outside were playing music till 2:00 am. I stayed in the dorm with individual bed (no AC, just fans, my choice). The mattress just made me sooo hot, I couldn’t sleep. I had many bites on my arms, legs and abdomen, not sure what they were.
• Antoine (3/5): -
• Antoine (3/5): -
• Iaroslav (10/5): - That's all right!! That was all great!
• Jonas (1/5): - / Haben eine Tour für die Yasawas mithilfe des Hostels gebucht. Die Provision war relativ hoch und zwei Daten wurden falsch eingetragen, was zu Stress und mehr Wartezeiten, bei der Fähre/Homestays geführt hat und trotz der Unannehmlichkeiten kein Teil des Geldes zurück bekommen, obwohl die Provision um die 20% des Gesamtpreises war.
• Karen (6/5): Ok for a night or two - Close to the beach. Staff was nice. Price is ok for a hostel. Shared bathrooms were clean. Rooms are stuffy and older. No pool.
• apirav (5/5): -
• SHYAM (7/5): -
• SHYAM (8/5): -
• Lesley (8/5): -
• Katie (1/5): Avoid - I stayed at Bamboo Backpackers for one night and unfortunately it was by far the worst accommodation experience I’ve ever had. When I checked in, they didn’t have my reservation on record, despite the fact that I had a confirmed booking and had already paid in full. I had to show them my confirmation and proof of payment, and I had also been messaging them beforehand, so this was incredibly frustrating to deal with on arrival. I had originally booked a double room with an en-suite, but after the confusion at check-in I was placed in a twin room with no private bathroom instead. I was told I would be refunded the difference, which was already frustrating after a long day of travelling. To make matters worse, someone else was already in the room that had initially been assigned to me. The cleanliness was absolutely unacceptable. There were bed bugs, the bedsheets were dirty, and the entire place felt filthy. It looked nothing like the photos online, which was incredibly misleading. Another major issue was that I wasn’t given a room key, meaning every time I left the room I had no way to lock it from the outside. This made it extremely inconvenient and left me feeling very uneasy about the safety of my belongings. I did try to book into other hotels in the Nadi area, but unfortunately everything else nearby was fully booked, so I had no choice but to stay here for the night. I’m actually sitting at the airport as I write this, and I have found bed bugs in my backpack crawling over me. My skin is still itchy, and now I have the added stress of worrying about bringing bed bugs home with me, which is honestly disgusting and incredibly upsetting. To be fair, they have since refunded me, although the process was frustrating as I was initially told I would be refunded, then later told I wouldn’t be, before the refund was eventually processed. My advice to anyone travelling to Nadi: avoid this place and pay the little bit extra for somewhere else.
• Diana (6/5): -
• Georgia Hejduková (8/5): -
• Fabian (7/5): Simple and clean - Well located and affordable.. beds and rooms were clean. Warm shower. Clean bathroom and friendly staff. There is no bus connection from wailoaloa. No kitchen facilities apart from a kettle, a fridge, and a microwave. Bring your on padlock for the locker. The place was a little bit hard to find also because it has literally no signage.
• Shanmugam (3/5): -
• Diana (5/5): - Okay for 1 night, get what you pay for. Very noisy, very uncomfortable beds, very hot, no hand soap in shared bathroom.
• Angus (10/5): -
• Jack (10/5): - Cleanliness Nothing
• Carlos (6/5): Hostel cerca de la playa de Wailoaloa - El hostel está bien ubicado, al lado de la playa. La habitación era amplia y teníamos baño dentro. Se puede ir a la piscina de blue lodge, y desayunar allí. El personal es agradable Hacia mucho calor en la habitación y no se podían abrir mucho las ventanas No tenía aire acondicionado y el ventilador iba muy despacio. El wifi funciona regular. La luz al lado de la cama era muy débil y no se podía leer. Mucho ruido en el exterior
• Patrick (4/5): - I paid for a solo pod, but then was taken to neighbour hostel for a room with 8 people
• Ryan (7/5): Decent layover stop - Great value for money, very close to the beach. Friendly staff. Wailoaloa can be challenging with public transport (taxis are easier). Maybe it was just off peak but the area felt very quiet.
• Dantin Philippe (7/5): -
• Dantin Philippe (8/5): - L'emplacement, le personnel, Un peu léger en F&B et activités non motorisée
• Francine (8/5): Super Preis-Leistungsverhältnis - Der 6er Dorm hatte super bequeme Matrazen, Privatsphäre dank Kapselsystem mit Vorhängen und eine Klimaanlage. Die Dusche war leider oft sehr schmutzig…
• Nguyen (7/5): Good so stay - Staffs Old bedsheets, old cover pillow
• Michelle (7/5): - Super nice and helpful staff We had bedbugs in one room so we had to swap.
• Binyamin (10/5): -
• Fynn Matti (7/5): -
• Canan (3/5): - I had a mouse in my room in the middle of the night, changed the room and then there was a mouse again… the staff was very kind to help me, but overall not a good stay.
• Julia (7/5): Für eine Nacht okay - Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und heißt einen herzlich willkommen. Die Lage ist fast direkt am Strand, der Strand läd aber nicht zum schwimmen ein. Die Lage ist sehr gut, wenn man mit der Fähre fahren will, da der Abholpunkt für den Transfer nur 1-2 Minuten zu Fuß vom Hostel weg ist. Für nur eine Übernachtung ist es ein gutes Hostel, für mehr nicht. Würde aber trotzdem wieder dort übernachten, da es nur zum schlafen ausreicht Die Zimmer für die Schlafkabinen ist winzig, man hat kaum Platz um sich zu bewegen. Auch gibt es nicht genügend Spinde für 6 Betten. Die oberen Schlafkabine können nur sehr mühsam erreicht werden, die Treppe besteht aus Holzklötzen ohne Geländer. Rauf und runter zu kommen ist jedes Mal eine Challenge. Das Bad war auch nicht wirklich sauber, die Toiletten waren aber okay. Das WLAN funktioniert nur direkt an der Rezeption, sonst nirgends. Es gibt keinen gemütlichen Aufenthaltsbereich, nur Picknickbänke oder schmutzige Plastikliegen.
• Timon (6/5): - Friendly welcome, plenty of outdoor seating. Good location, close to the beach, several bars and restaurants nearby. It's an area with many hotels and hostels. Many tours also start nearby. There's also a public bus that runs once an hour. I had a bunk in the shared sleeping area. The bunk was good; it had power outlets and a light. The room was air-conditioned. However, there was little space in the corridor, and the toilets were only accessible from the outside. So, it was fine for one night, but I was glad to be able to move on.
• Rochelle (8/5): -
• Felipe (6/5): Precio/Calidad Aceptable - Ubicación cerca de la playa, sitio tranquilo, el staff es genial y muy atento y tienen mascotas, cosa que en lo personal, agradezco, además que tienes contacto con la fauna local La ducha del segundo piso pocas veces funcionaba, poco aseo en la habitación compartida, muchos mosquitos.

• Glenn Anthony (1/5): Disgusting & filthy - pay the extra and stay somewhere else. - Nothing Bedbugs in my capsule bed, asked if i can upgrade, upgraded but charged me, not even a curiosity upgrade for issues. Choose the best room they had. Cockroaches in the bathtub, i found a rat winning in the toilet bowl one morning (do you know how filthy a place has to be to has rats on the second floor) … again like there sister property bluewater, too much too even get into it, pay the extra and stay somewhere else.
• Rose (7/5): -
• HIROE (9/5): 安く快適にフィジーに滞在するならここ！ - 安いのに、男女別のバスルームもきれいでスタッフさんもフレンドリーで、部屋にファンもついてるから暑苦しさがなかった点。海に歩いてすぐいけること。周りのスーパーや飲食店もすごい高すぎる訳ではないこと。 特にありません。強いて言うなら、初めて泊まった日はなぜかWi-Fiが終日繋がらなかった。それ以降の日は繋がったので地域的なものなのかも。
• Cathrien Macague (9/5): Need a BBQ. - Soft comfy beds No cooking facilities
• Stan (3/5): -
• Anton (2/5): Great value for stay in Nadi Fiji - So friendly and great staff, fun to meet other travellers and talk. We got bedbugs from the bed, so many small bites all over the body unfortunately in this hotel. Only place in whole south pacific trips and of all islands.
• YITING (3/5): - 你们嘴是真严 全是跳蚤 最后我穿长衣长裤睡的 手掌和脚露出来的地方全是包
• Cameron (9/5): - Budget friendly, had all the basic amenities one needs for a over night trip.
• JUAN CARLOS (10/5): - Buena ubicación, con bares y restaurantes cerca, la playa está al frente caminando dos minutos, la habitación limpia, bastante amplia, el personal amable y atento. En general todo está bien, me sentí a gusto y cómodo, de pronto si hay personas que son un poco desconfiadas, deben tener en cuenta que los lockers son muy, muy pequeños y la parte de poner el candado estaba dañada en la mayoría de ellos.
• Anne (7/5): - Zentral und komfortabel mit Schlafkapsel.
• Ziegelwanger (6/5): -
• Nain (10/5): Wonderful 😊 - Excellent All are good
• Noel (8/5): - Close to everything Should get the curtain that cover all windows properly and keep the room more private, also some other fun because the one in was not enough strong. The rest was nice!!
• Freddie (8/5): Good location & value for budget travellers. - Good location in the hotel zone by the beach. Easy for taxis to pick up/drop off & the bus to town stopped right by the accommodation. Good value and clean too. Very basic facilities with dogs lying around the building.

• Daniel (5/5): -
• Cullum (7/5): -
• edward (10/5): -
• Raijeli (8/5): The food from nearby resort that you can go and enjoy takeaway or dine in 👌 - The staff very friendly and helpful The location
• golo (8/5): -
• xia (6/5): There is something to improve, but overall, it is worth the money with a great location. - The location is great! A few minutes walk to the beachfront. The space between beds are good. The male receptionist (sorry that I forgot your name) is helpful and welcoming. 1. no air-conditioning: hot during the day when it is 35 degrees even the fans are going all the time. 2. The shower is not working on the second floor. 3. The female receptionist insisted on using the taxi she appointed even I told her I had found my own taxi. She was upset when I went with my taxi which ripped me off at the end anyway. It just left me with an umpleasant memory on my last day in Nadi.
• Blair (8/5): - Cheap and great location for wailoaloa
• wojtekbham (8/5): overall on plus, I would be back - Very good and cheap accomodation in "kinda-posh" area of Nadi. Private rooms are small but enough for a night or 2. Leisure area outside on plus two with multiple hammochs and benches. Typical hostel vibe. rooms bot big enough or longer stay but value or money is absolutely great
• Anna (8/5): Clean capsule in a cool room. Safe. - I needed a room for a short rest-and-clean, as my flight arrived early in a morning and I had a 14-hour stopover. I used a capsule for 4-hours of sleep, and it was clean and comfortable in a cool room. The staff was friendly. I could store my bag there and use the shower after the beach. The beach is close, although it was very open with very few trees for the shade. WiFi worked well. There was an issue with water pump and water was not guaranteed, although I managed. Lots of mosquitoes in the shower. Taxi is the only option for transport (20 Fiji dollars).
• Nicolaa (6/5): - Veel muggen
• Bernat (10/5): Best hotel wailoaloa - La habitación capsula esta muy bien, la cama ea muy comoda y se duerme muy tranquilo!! La atencion de los trabajadores es muy buena!! Me alegra que ayuden a los perros callejeros!! Sao dice mucho del lugar.
• Célia (7/5): - Douche à moitié fonctionnelle, draps de lit tachés et casier trop petite pour mettre sac de voyage.
