Was here with a group of friends. We didn't know any better. I'm not too picky. I don't complain about little things and pretty easy going but this place is actually pretty bad. It's just rundown. I think the thing that turned me off the most is how unprofessional and immature the management team were - particularly in the way... More

Stayed here one night - wanted to leave as soon as we got there but as we were going to a wedding the time factor stopped us. The place is a S#! - hole. I would not let my dog live there - filthy bathrooms and kitchen. Rooms falling apart. Looking at the web pictures they put up there's a... More

We've stayed here for 2 nights, and for such a period it's a good place: cheap and friendly. We stayed here in august 2010, it's a bit cold at nights in Johannesburg at that time of the year, and there's no heating in DD, so it's inconvinient to take a shower - simply cold). Rooms are really rundown,but not terrible.... More

To be honest, I stayed here because it's cheaper than some places. In hindsight, I wish I had gone somewhere else and paid more. I spent 4 nights here simply because it was too late to move. That said, it's a dump. The rooms were filthy. It has this musty smell all day. The beds weren't clean. They do give... More

We tried to cancel our partially paid-for reservations to this place after hearing horror stories from people we met during the rest of our time in South Africa. We rented a large house on the property, not knowing that there were signs all over the property saying that the house was considered communal property to all residents of the hostel,... More

I stayed here a few times in transit. It's cozy and large and the new area has been renovated and looks awesome. Some parts are a bit rundown, but it's comfortable and perfect for a backpackers experience. Jason and Barbara are helpful and friendly. It was a great place to meet people and share travel experiences. I enjoyed the atmosphere... More

As stated in others review, this place is rundown. While they do have a swimming pool, but it is not maintained that I believed no one will want to jump in. The biggest problem with this hostel is, very limited shower room. I think only 2 shower stalls, while it can accomodate so many people. The owner is friendly but... More

Stayed here in April 2010 before heading out to Kruger Nat'l Park. This place is the dingiest, shadiest hostel I've ever been to. Yeah, it cost about 15 USD pp, but STILL. The guy running it (Jason maybe?) was a nice enough guy and they have cute dogs...but the actual accommodations were awful. First of all, we were set up... More
