Nice atmosphere, friendly staff and every day a nice campfire. Food is also very good there!

Finn, Netherlands

The staff were super friendly. The overnight guard, the receptionist, or the cleaning staff, everybody gives you a big smile whenever they see you. The outdoor eating area is huge and the views are decent.

Qifeng, China

This is a special privilege to stay in Soweta in such a special place. The wonderful staff here works with the community, converted the trash heap next door to a community park. They take people around by bike so they can see the conditions, the house of Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Tutu, and the street of Trevor Noah.

Malcolm, South Africa

This is a very nice project going on in Soweto! Staff is super nice, food is delicious and rooms are comfortable. This is a must if you’re in Jo’burg to get to know all sides of the city.

Loïc, Belgium

Friendliness of the staff, accommodation, food that is prepared on fire outside, outdoor restaurant. The fact that Lebo's is more like a family rather than just a tourist. Everybody eat together. Food is excellent. The staff helped me upgrade from dormitory rooms to a twin room. The twin room was great, very clean and spacious.
