Shoestrings backpackers exceeded our expectations. We booked a team and a tent. We were a group of 4 friends. The team m

The entertainment, the artwork around the property, I believe they also have a curio shop to buy African art and crafts. The cafe and bar.

Great place for value but avoid on Friday and Saturday night unless you want to party!

Perfect location and easy access. Great room for 2 people with en suite bathroom and AC. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The pool is great and there are plenty of place to sit and enjoy the large property! The snack bar and cafe is very convenient .

I knew that on Friday and Saturday there is a DJ coming to play music but I wasn’t expecting the music to be so loud! I could hear it 2 blocks away while walking back after dinner. It is absolutely impossible to sleep before the music stops (around 1am or 2am depending on the evening!). Even with good earplugs I could sleep… a pity as I really liked the room and the place in general

Pleasant.

Staff are super friendly, coffee at the cafe is excellent, pool/bar area is a pleasant place to hang out for a drink & swim.

Not a dislike but maybe a recommendation, with the tents to paint tent number on canvas or concrete- had two random different people try to come into my tent being the wrong one, but saw others do it also. Maybe a guest fridge would be a plus.

Nice location, cheap, friendly staff, everything you need

Tents were nice and cheap! Close to town so I could walk, friendly staff and a nice vibe around the bar area. Plenty of places to relax and chill out.

Bathroom could do with some updating. Laundry is a rip off! Washed my clothes in the sink instead and saved my money. Some nights they have a dj with very very loud music, be aware.
