I have never been disappointed by a place to stay like i was with this big blue thing.When we arrived to this place we were not shown the place where we were going to sleep in before we paid and what a disasterous room.We had booked a female dorm and it was soooooooo small ,the bunks we literally squached to...

We stayed here for 3 nights with a large tour group. Some people had to wait until 7pm for their room to be ready. There were not enough staff to accommodate for people who wanted drinks, information, taxis or any information. It was frustrating however we still had a good stay. We could walk to the waterfront & the rooms... More

Stayed here twice, nice relaxed backpackers. It was clean and tidy, and spacious. Rather haphazard service from staff, but all in all good. First room had extremely creaky floorboards, which was fine for us, but we worried about disturbing others. Safe and secure, with a night guard... More

Firstly, we were here on an emergency! We had tickets for the Coldplay concert and didn't have a place to stay overnight! It wasn't safe to drive back to our 'booked accommodation' at Gansbaai after the concert (Actually that would have been crazier than the rest of our trip)! So, the fact is they accommodated us without a booking and... More

This backpackers lodge has such a nice vibe. The rooms are nice and clean (not very big,but who needs big when you have a proper bed), the shared bathrooms are clean and the showers are hot, the people are friendly and it feels safe. Shops on walking distance, plenty of information on activities, simply easy going. Just what you need... More

I had a last minute change of plans so ended up booking my one night stay at Big Blue on the day. It was fairly friendly and very laidback. I ended up in a dorm with 6 other women all of whom lived there. While in itself this was not a problem I just felt that I was not getting... More

we were actually quiet happy with the overall service (nice room, free internet, good location) of this backpacker - till we discovered two weeks later that our both credit cards were misused (to book regional flights) as they were in the house safe!!! You can go there, but don t let your valuables in the house safe!!! More

Big Blue was a little shabby, but fairly clean. The staff was helpful, the location is around multiple places to eat, and the beers were cold & cheap. The walk to V&A waterfront is only about 10 minutes. Our only complaint is that the fan is not enough when the temperatures are high, so we didn't sleep well several of... More
