20 Reviews on Travellers Lodge and Backpackers
Tilana Bester, South Africa

We were really very disappointed! First of all we paid more than what was initially advertised on Safari Now (when I complained about this Travellers Lodge updated the website and had us pay the higher amount). As we arrived we were told the stove is broken and that the lounge area (the beautiful panoramic view photo they have as part of their advertising) was off limits for guests (since the owners were there). This left us with NO place to cook or prepare any food! There were NO table or chairs or stove or any self-catering options other than a small microwave to be shared with all guests (keep in mind they can accommodate 32 guests). The only table (dirty) was outside... Our dirty dishes stood there for a whole day since we had no place to clean it - when we returned early evening they were still there! They also broke into our car - the lodge is situated in a remote street... Parking is an issue. No complaints about the room and bathroom (oh, we had no warm water on our fist morning), but it was no self-catering backpackers for us. We have been to many backpackers lodges, but this one is definately bottom on my list.

This must be the worst place we have ever stayed in. We had booked two double rooms, but were informed that they only had one double room and we could use a dorm - with no one else in it. The double room turned out to be the 'managers' bedroom - with his smelly underpants and huge box of medication to boot. The 'dorm' we tried to sleep in was the garage. yes, weed eater and washing line, cement floor and smelling of petrol and oil. What made it worse, the room had no window. I very much doubt it was legal. To add insult to injury, the woman at the desk accused us of not paying the deposit - which was paid by credit card through Safari Now. I suggest Safari Now takes this establishment off their books. It is a disgrace.

Ons verblyf was uitstekend en absolute gesins mense en bestuurder, 100% vir hulle elkeen, alles was netjies en skoon! Definitief 'n moet vir verblyf!

Friendly staff. Only problem that may have to be looked at is safe off-street parking for guests' vehicles.

We experienced a cosy, comfortable and friendly stay. The place was neat, tidy and clean. We will certainly consider making use of this facility again in the future.
