South AfricaSuper friendly staff, the hostel is amazing, clean and comfortable, very cool to chill around the bonfire or at the outdoor restaurant. On top of that, we felt so safe there, like in a little village ! We did the Soweto bicycle tour and it was super interesting. Food is delicious too ! Highly recommend it, one of my favourite spot in South Africa.

CanadaDo yourself a favor, stay here! If I could I would give 100/100. I’m soooo happy I stayed at Lebo’s. There was such a pleasant family atmosphere and everyone was so kind! The food was BOMB, the facility was SPOTLESS, and the location really gave you an authentic feel for Africa. Take the cooking class with the chef (can’t remember his name :(), but’s he’s really great and the cooking is very hands on. The biking tour was another highlight. Overall, I would highly recommend staying here as it is really an amazing place. Cheers to you all for getting it right!

United States of AmericaDon't just visit Soweto, live there for a while! Meet local guides and soweto residents, learn about everyday life and the history of this extraordinary area. Participate in one of their many projects, take a walking tour across orlando or simply do some morning yoga with the local kids in the park. It's safe, calm, and the people are nice and very welcoming. Come as a visitor and leave as a friend. And when you get back, tell your friends about it!
