Island Vibe

1 Ivet Castelo - 2 years ago

Dirty floors and uncomfortable beds; 0 atmosphere -only few people talking- but with very loud music. Stayed in a 6 dorm bed and woke up in the middle of the night because two guests had to be place in a bunk bed. The receptionist turned on the light and they all spoke very loud. The rest we all woke up and complained but nothing changed, they just continued unpacking loudly and with the lights on. Not recommendable.

Very friendly staff. Easy going on.
Something has to be renewed about cleaning and maintenances but i give them a positive feedback For the atmosphere , the free parking and for the guy who works there who is a very nice person.
Thank you guys , I am going to ISLAND VIBE at Jeffrey’s!

Friendly staff, but the place is very noisy to the point where we could hear the toilet being flushed in the next door dorm and a party in the backyard until 4AM. The beds smelled mouldy and weren't comfortable, but if you're on a low budget it's easy to consider these downsides a part of the backpacker experience.

The mattress was uncomfortable. I could feel the slats of the wooden bed through the mattress. I woke up with back pain the next morning. NO SWIMMING POOL. The picture on their website is misleading. It has been converted into a fireplace. PLEASE take that photo down. I promised my daughter there is a pool. I could have stayed in a Guest house in the area for R70( ±5$) per room per night more. Definitely my next choice. I have stayed in Wilderness backpackers before and had a better experience in a 12 bed dorm than in this double room.
The only reason I booked here was that they offered me two single beds. Since I had a car the location was of no help. I was promised that we are the only once using the bathroom and left our personal stuff there, only to find out the next morning the staff were also using the bathroom.
If you do consider staying here make sure you do not get the 2 rooms below the bar. No view as nice as in the pictures. You are almost under ground. Windows looking out on a dilapidated wooden fence and sliding door unto a wall 1.5m from the door.

Its very good. The people running the place are so good. One feels at home here. People who come there live in harmony and as one family
Particularly Knowledge, he knows his stuff. He welcomes visitors well. He is so helpful. He runs the place like his. You see him at the car park and everyway. Im going to recommend more people to book here

For the main backpackers, one star: very cramped, very limited facilities, limited parking, wouldn't recommend it.

For the 'villa' around the corner where the private rooms are, 3 stars: it's essentially a three bedroom house with a lounge, kitchen and garden; nice experience overall and good location, friendly staff.

This hostel is one to skip. The pool is very small and the setting lacks a garden. Rooms did not have any cross breeze and were quite hot. No garden or charm. The bare basics and the staff did not meet minimum cordiality test. Like I said- do yourself a favor and skip this place. Beach is too far away to access on foot.
