• Fabiano (1/5): Corram desse lugar - Da hora de ir embora desse pulgueiro apesar da boa localização. Reservei devido a localização ser no centro,que eu gosto e ser o único que tem parada de Bazbus por ali.Só não sabia da simplicidade do local. É muito pobre para mim que busco certo conforto. Os corredores são muito estreitos.Nao há recepção com cadeiras e,ao se entrar, há uma espécie de cozinha. Os quartos são muito antigos, compostos por uma cama e uma TV.Ventilador é de teto,quase não funciona e faz um barulho incômodo, além de ser ligado em uma corda que há nele.Nao há café da manhã. A recepcionista não gosta de usar tradutor o que torna a comunicação muito difícil. AGORA,O PIOR É O BANHEIRO. ELE FOI IMPROVISADO CONSTRUÍDO DENTRO DO QUARTO MESMO, NÃO TENDO NEM PORTA OU ALGO QUE O SEPARE,ALÉM DE SER MUITO PEQUENO. FOI UMA DAS PIORES HOSPEDAGENS QUE JÁ FIQUEI EM 60 PAISES E 20 ANOS.
• Nkazimlo (2/5): - Nothing Staff weren't friendly, no toilet paper, not enough blankets even when asked for more

• Lawukazi (6/5): - Thank you for the warm welcome. Thank for arranging a more private room for me, that was nice of you. The place is clean and safe . However I didn't like the smell of cigarettes, yes people smoke from outside but because of space the smoke gets inside the house. For me thats not a pleasant smell as it triggers headache and tight chest. Maybe if you can shift the smoke area to right at the corner under the carpot maybe that will be better. Also i would prefer the toilet to be private especially when youre sharing with other people but other than that all is we

• Lottering (8/5): Good, safe and affordable - Good I have no complaints
• Moegamat Nadeem (2/5): Not pleasant - No ventilation in the room. Toilet in room open. 😫
• Guest (4/5): - Λυπάμαι αλλα μόνο η τοποθεσία είναι καλή... τίποτα άλλο. Βρώμικα παλιά σεντόνια με λεκέδες, απο το κρεβάτι έλειπαν τάβλες και το στρώμα σχεδόν ανύπαρκτο, Δεν είχαν πετσέτες ούτε καν με χρέωση.
• Aranganathan (10/5): - Kitchen, refrigerator, location, outdoor car parking, cost Loud noise from refrigerator during night time
• Strauss (9/5): -
• Liezel (8/5): -
• Mclaren (1/5): - Nothing The room is very small with the toilet and the shower in the same room. It's absolutely shocking. We did not sleep there and was compelled to look for other accomodation. What a waste of good money.
• Rose (5/5): - Battling for parking in the street
• Natalie (10/5): - The friendly service.... would've liked a mirror in the room though ... and comforters would've been more manageable to make up the double bunks The sharing of the bathroom

• Jim (9/5): - Good location, clean
• Gladys (5/5): Stay was good but the place needs modern furniture for their rooms to be nice and clean. - Location was easy to find as it is in the main road. Bedding - Night frill was not clean. Also they should add extra blanket for in case it is cold. They must add wardrobe in the rooms, instead of the shelf/chest drawer, the is no place to put/hand clothes.

• Alvin (8/5): Very good - Great location and friendly hosts
• Gelderbloem (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ndikho (1/5): The place is disgusting - There is nothing to like about this place The place is not fit for human habitat. The fact that there is an open toilet facing the bed is disgusting. The person using the toilet is looking directly at the person lying in bed. No wall, board covering the toilet. It felt like I slept in a toilet. Booking.com should remove this disgusting place from its list of accommodations. The bedding is disgusting. The place is filthy The place is truly disgusting
• Jerome (8/5): Very good -
• Devonique (1/5): We didn't check in. Decided to book another place - I requested to get my money back because the room wasn't as expected and smelled like smoke and the owner told me that I should take it up with booking.com. Since the booking i haven't heard anything from them.
• David (4/5): Terrible - Not much as the owner didn't even know that I was expected until I showed him my confirmation email. The so called double bunks bedding was not suffice. The other guest made so much noise and was drinking and parting that one couldn't get much sleep.
• Thomas (9/5): Exceptional -
• Makoni (6/5): Pleasant - Came to my rescue after my other booking was messed up. Location was great.
• Mervin (5/5): Just for sleep never used anything else ? - No breakfast The Bed and bedding not nice
• Masasi (6/5): Pleasant -
• Xolile (7/5): Good - Location and owners nice. Toilet inside the room no privacy.
• Hennie (1/5): Bad lodging experience. - Nothing. Still nothing. Nothing still. Room with sponge mattress on floor and worn linen. Room behind office and entrance. Toilet and shower open and in bedroom I will feel ashamed to let it out for free. I did not stay there but went to the Nautica in Mosselbaai. If their excuse is they are backpackers the should advertise it as such lower their prices.
• Chris (3/5): Poor - Location The bed was lumpyy and very uncomfortable. Backpackers noisy. Advert very misleading. Had no remote to switch TV off.
• Siraaj (9/5): Superb -
• Porscha (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mondrick (8/5): Very good -
• Maike (3/5): Poor - You are in the middle of the town, so short walk to the beach. We, three friends, booked one bed in a female dormitory and two in a male. We got one room, with one double bed (just one big blanket) and one single bed. I had a sleeping bag, so we could solve the blanket problem by ourself. To share a room was fine for us, but other people might have booked not-shared rooms for a reason. The towel I got was dirty, and not these stains that you cannot wash out. Smoking was allowed in front of the hostel and you could smell it inside, even in the room.
• Hitesh (1/5): Not a comfortable stay - Not many genuine positives to be honest. I booked a 6-bed dorm, but was put in a 8-bed dorm for some reason unknown to me. Some inconsiderate person in the room was on his phone loudly for around 90 minutes, during sleep time. I couldn't find staff member to help in sorting the noise out, so I ended up sleeping in the lounge until he found me there many hours later. I wasn't happy with the situation. The noise was no fault of hostel but they need to be available to rectify this kind of situation. I told him i was not staying there the 2nd night i had booked, and would check out in the morning. They have refused to refund me, and unfortunately Booking.com say they could not do anything about this. Very unfair i think, under the circumstances. So on principle i wouldn't stay here if they are cheating you out of a service you have paid for.
• Hennie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Gabriele (2/5): Unpleasant experience! - Good location in town, secure parking on property. The toilet and shower were inside the room with no separation from the rest of the space, the sink was on top of one of the beds. The beds were old and very uncomfortable. The room had one single window that opens onto the reception, so not only it could not be open to the outdoor, but also we could hear everything from the reception. The kitchen was attended by staff’s acquaintances, who were loud and drinking so, although we had access to the kitchen, we didn’t feel comfortable in using it. We were asked to pay again at arrival after already paying (confirmed with receipt) online, we were told the payment does not come through automatically so our card was needed again, so we paid twice. We followed this up with Booking Customer Service, which confirmed we were charged twice and proceeded to refund us. We’re very used to hostels and have been travelling in Southern Africa for months, this was by far our worse experience, in a Country where hostels are so cheap and most of the time so well managed and looked after.
• Jean (1/5): Bad - The receptionist was crazy ..he violenty knoched attention our door to 1 am , i ended to open the door ..to hear " OH sorry " This man is a mad , character .. We dont see him in the morning .. It is the first time i put a bad appréciation
