  Mbizi Backpackers Lodge Reviews

 Stephen Gordon  -  15 April 2010

Patrick (owner) was really helpful with our plans and setting us on our way to Kruger

 Customer Review  -  17 February 2010

Near the airport; good for long layovers in Joburg. Very clean & comfortable!

 Customer Review  -  24 January 2010

The owner was very helpful. Keen to ensure his backpackers were safe while in the Johannesburg area. Very clean rooms and kitchen.

 Andrew Murphy  -  17 January 2010

Everthing, gold place to chillax, have fun, in a safe and secure environment. Also good advice on any trips you may be planning for the rest of your stay in Africa.

 Karyn Ross  -  8 December 2009

It was extremely clean and comfortable. We were lucky enough to be the only ones there, and had the huge tv all to ourselves in the lounge. Full self cater kitchen, free tea & coffee, and toast in the morning. Lovely stay, thanks Patrick!

 Customer Review  -  16 November 2009

This is a decent place run by a friendly helpful guy. However it is a suburban bungalow with the bedrooms turned into dorms. Basic breakfast is included in the price which is good. There is one restaurant within walking distance. It is close to the airport for pickups and dropoffs.

 Customer Review  -  30 September 2009

It was very quiet when we visited which suited us. The kitchen was well equipped and the whole place was very clean. Patrick was exceptionally helpful in drawing us a map for the easiest way out of town. Highly Reccomended.

 Customer Review  -  28 September 2009

It was a nice place to stay for one night, they offer cheap pick ups en drop offs which was nice because we were there for just a short period of time.

 Elizabeth Maguire  -  29 July 2009

Patrick the host is very friendly, there is a great bar and pool area for chilling out and having a bit of fun. This hostel is small and friendly and above all very safe. The whole place is very well kept clean and nicely decorated. I particularly liked the homely feel for eg the lounge was a great place relax and watch a DVD or Cable tele which are supplied for free. Patric organised transport to and from the airport at a reasonable price for me taking a lot of fuss and worry out of organising my own transport.

 Peresh Gela  -  21 June 2009

Had a great stay for 2 nights. Patrick was really helpful and friendly. Got a very cheap airport pickup which was great and the hostel was clean and tidy with good sized lockers in the rooms. The pool and bar were excellent and theres a supermarket and pizza restaurant a short distance away. Got to meet the owners friends and had a braai (bbq) with them which was really nice. The location is nice and is in a safe area. This does mean that the hostel is not very central but this is true for most of the hostels in J'burg and that means they are in a safe area. Overall its clean, safe, cheap, friendly, has good facilities, can arrange tours and was a great place to stay. I think i'll be back next year for the world cup. Cheers Patrick! Peresh
