I actually stayed at Bibs in Feb 2010 so they may have fixed up the place by then. No wonder this place was not on the Baz Bus travelers handbook it is a dump. They showed me three different rooms before I decided on one...that was the one that smelled better than the others. Torn sheets, broken locks, A/C that... More

The swimming pool and pool table were a hit with our kids. We camped, so hard to rate the rooms and sleep quality. The bathrooms and kitchen were fine, but could have been cleaner. The staff looked like it had been pared down for the season. The ones left were friendly. We would stay again, but beware if you camp... More

The place is really big. however, it really looks like the owner doesn't care and has just let it become completely run down. We were there during their offpeak season, which was probably a good things as the kitchen is badly equipped (e.g. only 2 stove plates which worked...). The double rooms were airconditioned, which was really nice. The pool... More

Unfortunately I can't really comment on my stay here, b/c after making a reservation (in the off season no less..) we could not check in to get our room. Arrived around 9P, lots of people around and a few staff members...none of whom had keys (although they knew we were arriving) We waited about 45 min, then ambled down the... More

You can’t beat the location or the selection of activities. This is a very social place, so you’ll meet a lot of people. However, the dorms were filthy, and at R115 per night, some of the most expensive in South Africa. I stayed there four nights and my room wasn’t cleaned once (not even when some travelers left and others... More

I would recommend this hostel because of the location but with a proviso - unless you're going to stay up all night partying, try to get a room as far away from the pool and bar area - we were kept up several nights all night from extremely rowdy people and when asked them to quiet down a bit were...
