Everything, really. Great staff, wonderful environment and an incredible experience. A trip to Johannesburg is incomplete without staying here.

- the tuk tuk tour was amazing - food was the best I had in South Africa - staff was super nice - great vibe

Great place the stay and explore Soweto. Food was perfect and the facility is very nice with plenty of places to sit

The common area (garden) , it’s great place to connect with other backpackers at the end of the day. It’s a little haven not always present in other hostel, they have done a wonderful job to make you feel at home

The place is colourful, comfortable and clean. We loved the djembe, African decor, the patio (at the back) and the murals at the main entrance.

Everything, especially the staff. They were very friendly and accommodating.

I really enjoyed my stay here. This was my first stop in South Africa, and I loved it. The staff are all wonderful. You can pre-order meals from them, and all the food was delicious. I did a two hour bike tour with them ,and I learned a lot about the neighborhood.

I was happy to be in Soweto just 20 minutes away from home and I got the best service. The place on its own was very refreshing and I got more than what I paid for. Enjoyed the breakfast would have appreciated more.

Great area, great place, great staff Area has great amount of history

Rooms, lunch area, fire pit area, facilities in general, place's cleanliness and all the staff's attitude and service always excellent
