First impressions are happy and I was not impressed with the care of Tolbos Backpackers.
There were smokers and the smoke was so overwhelming that I couldn't even open the window. After 12 hours at night there was still a lot of chatter in the kitchen. The rooms were neat, but may lack a dressing table and a chair.

House mother had a bit of an attitude, some people that came later the evening had the TV too loud, otherwise the one night stay was OK.

We didn't sleep at all!
The accommodation itself was not bad, there were enough bathrooms, but one was dirty. The other guests were talking loudly in the living room and every sound reflected right through the walls. Between 22:00 and 23:00 other people arrived and shouted at each other right across from our room. They were constantly making noise, playing music and talking loudly. After midnight I informed the contact person and he asked them to be more gentle. The music went down but the more they drank, the more noise they made! At 4 o'clock in the morning I went to ask them to please be quiet because we have been trying to sleep all night. They made even louder noises for another hour and a half. So we slept from 5:30 until someone came to put in the toilet rolls, I didn't look at the time but we had to get up at 8:00.

Before our arrival, Hector had already let us know that they were expecting us. The directions were also good to get there despite the after hours arrival. Thanks were also expressed the next morning for mutual kindness and courtesy.

Not too bad
I was not completely satisfied with the reservation because I did not get the rooms I booked and the rooms did not look like they were represented on the web page. Other than that I have no complaints.

Nice, could have been better and my daughter forgot her swimming top there.
On arrival, Hector the manager very nice, place clean, but could have been better. Place is nice and big, but pool very small. Our group was very disappointed. We had to go to the public swimming pool, but we could see that Renate is redoing the place, because the toilet is very nice, the rooms are nice and big. Renate is a very nice person. If she puts in a bigger pool, she'll see us again for sure. Thank you Renate!

Hi!
I am happy you enjoyed it here! Being a Backpackers with the least expensive beds in the Valley we don't really ever get good reviews because we are not a Guest house with all the smart toppings at the price we charge. Thank you! Hope to see you again!

Basic accommodation.
Tolbos Backpackers 's response
The problem with wet towels is that the more you have the more moist there is inside a building. As soon as there are to many in a small space it creates problems. That's why we always ask the guests to hang their towels outside on our special designed line.
Hope to see you again!

The owner is very friendly and that made the place for us. For the good price one should not expect too much and the kitchen is not as well equipped for self-catering as one would hope, but it is clean, friendly and value for money.

There are many shortages such as mirrors in bathrooms, and air conditioning did not work adequately.
No kitchen utensils such as pots and pans. Acceptable for the price, but would rather go for a more expensive option in the future.

Hallo Freddy,
Ons het potte, jy moet net vra. Jammer oor die spieëls in die badkamer. Ons gaan dit nog in sit. Ons wag net vir die werkers om weer te begin. Jammer, ek is blind en dink nie altyd daaraan dat siende mense spieëls nodig het nie! Hoop darem ons sien jul weer.

Sorry about the parking problem. We are working on it and hope to have more secure parking soon.
