Very nice, thank you.
1. Security was a big problem. Had people just walking in during the evening. Some of our food and drinks were taken. It was a big problem because of the 1 gate that could not close. Couldn't swim or relax because the water was very dirty in the jacuzzi. We wanted to use it to cool our bodies after each day's cricket. Otherwise it was very nice. Staff, especially Sandy and Christopher were fantastic.

It was very nice and will go back again.
Although everything was good, there were a few things that bothered me. People who check into backpacker accommodation are usually people who like to socialize and meet new friends. However, we were often warned to laugh more softly, our music was too loud even if we turned it down.

Very reasonable price for neat, safe and central accommodation.
The reception with the bar counter creates the impression that one can order a cocktail there, when not.

Nie noodwendig conducive vir 'n paartjie. Was onder die indruk dat ablusiegeriewe in die kamer is.

Translate to English.
Not necessarily conducive for a couple. Was under the impression that ablution facilities were in the room.
I was of the opinion that only the "dormitories" have shared facilities and that the double rooms are at least fully equipped with all facilities indoors.

I was warmly received. Room was clean and I slept great. Constructive criticism: Management should please. make sure there is Doom in every room for mosquitoes. The togetherness in the bar was wonderful. Would stay there again and 100% recommend everyone to support Saltycrax. Thank you.

Saltycrax Backpackers 's response
Dear Bernice,
Thank you for your valued feedback.
We would like to point out that the room you booked was the 10 Sleeper Dormitory. This room has the following description on LekkeSlaap:
'All bunks have new ortho-care mattresses and clean linen. This mixed dorm has personal lockers and two en-suite bathrooms. Please note that this room is to be shared with strangers unless it's booked by one group of 10 guests.'
Please also note that since it is a shared room, all guests are responsible for their own belongings and space, and therefor it does get messy sometimes because we do not touch guests personal property when sweeping, cleaning and changing linen in the dormitory room.
We are a Backpackers Hostel so the main guests we have checking in are youthful adventure travelers looking for a relaxed place to rest their heads for the night, hence the feeling of being around a lot of young people. We are not a Hotel or Guest House, and have earned our Grading through following the standards as laid out in the TGCSA guidelines.
Our linen and properly is cleaned daily and we strive to accommodate to our guests needs as far as possible, which is why we offered you an alternative option which was more private compared to the one you booked in our volunteer accommodation next door, for no extra costs.
The Manager running Saltycrax has over 15 years of experience in the tourism industry and was the person assisting you to get a new room yesterday evening.
We have recently renovated the dorm room, and are still busy with minor changes and therefor it does not look exactly like the pictures online, however we will be updating them when everything is complete.

Cheap and clean accommodation close to the sea.
I find this a great place to stay, especially for young people. There are many young people of different nationalities staying here. They have created a very safe place with great facilities. They have a nice bar on the premises and the atmosphere is very social. They are walking distance from the ocean and close to shops.

We had a wonderful stay!
My mother and I were looking for a place to stay for one night during the festive season and considered several options, but all were fully booked. We were very lucky to get a place at Saltycrax Backpackers in their en suite double room the night before we left. At first I was skeptical about taking my mother there because backpacker lodges are more aimed at the younger traveler, but we were pleasantly surprised by the tranquility and had a wonderful stay. LekkeSlaap's service was excellent as always and there were no problems.
