Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Island Vibe is a good spot if you are a younger couple or group of friends looking for rooms on the beach. The rooms are clean. The kitchens are equipped. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is right on the beach.

My daughter and I were doing a road trip by bike. We stopped in J Bay to search for accommodation and found Island Vibe who were able to accommodate us on short notice. We were fortunate to get a room in the beach house which was about 100 m from the backpackers. This suited me well because we could enjoy the facilities and party atmosphere of the backpackers, then walk 100m back to our room to enjoy the tranquil setting and ocean views. I was able to park my bike behind a locked gate and everything was safe. The staff were all super friendly. It is ideally situated within a 5 min walk of the surf village where you can find the famous surf shops and restaurants. Island Vibe should be on your list of places to stay!

My friend and I were dropped off here as a part of an organized tour for a surfing excursion. We rented surfboards and wetsuits for about 5 USD per person which was an incredible deal and the woman at the front desk was so nice. When we arrived we thought the vibe was cool and the view of the beach was nice. We figured after our surf we would come back and have a drink at the bar and chill at what seemed like a cool place. Once we got our surfboards we headed down to the beach. From the property to the area where you are able to surf is close to a 20 minute walk on sand/ dunes. We had a nice surf and then started the hike back up hill to the property. Along the way, we burnt our feet badly on the hot sand so we ran to the gate leading into the property which was supposed to be

We stayed in Island Vibe JBay for the 5th time and we loved it as always. The Staff remembered us and welcomed us very warmly like always. The room (double room in the beachhouse) was clean and frequently cleaned by the nice cleaning ladies. Also the common kitchen and the garden souroundings are well protected by them and the Gardeners. You meet a lot of diffrent people there and the make Braii on the big fireplace frequntly. You have plenty options to cook or just order a nice wrap or pizza from the island vibe kitchen. The same for breakfast. if you want to party, there is the bar always open until the night, or if you want it more calm, step down to the beachhouse. wether you are a surfer or just a beach lover, for both you will find the perfect location there. Long clean

The location for this hostel is amazing, right on the beach and the layout of everything is excellent with a real surfers vibe to it. Everything is chill and not much matters. The people are friendly. The dorms were quite poor quality, as there are no plugs to charge your devices and it is just a bunch of bunkbeds on a tiles floor, which is not a major problem. However they party with loud music in the bar till about 1:30am and the dorms are right next to the bar, making it almost impossible to sleep. I thought I was saved by Eskom (can't believe I said that) when the power went out and the music stopped. but they had a generator, and for the first time in my life I was sad about that. The food that you can buy there are just Pick n pay frozen foods that are cooked for you, so

Was truly a pleasure staying at the Island Vibe in Jbay. I had to adjust my booking and had no issues in amending my booking at no additional costs. Charmaine was truly amazing in how she managed everything. Truly a welcoming experience.

Dirty, cummy, mouldy sheets welcomed us as we got to the unit. Staff were lazy & no care for the place. It was so bad we ended up sleeping in the car. Seriously doubtful that this would pass health & safety.

Great place to meet people and make memories. There’s lots to do (def go sand boarding with Sim!) and good food, drinks and people. We had a blast and little hock ups with our reservation were quickly solved. We’re coming back :)

Had a good sleep in a nice room. However food was super limited and pizza was pretty bad. Overall the staff was very friendly. Hopefully they up their game on the food side. Its an avarage rating from my side.
