Do not book this place through Hostelworld - go directly to their website (easily found in Google) and book direct. You will not get any extra assurance booking through Hostelworld (my confirmed booking turned out to be a double booking - they did offer alternative accommodation, however you do not get your value for the extra cost associated with going through Hostelworld (direct rates are lower). The place itself is great, but would do with a bit of a scrub... They organise great tours around Drakensburg, have a very good bar, have friendly and helpful stuff and overall it's money well spent.

Guides are good but not particularly knowledgeable about the area. Cooking staff is tough to get a hold of for food, but food is delicious. I highly recommend staying here. For the money you can't beat the service and scenery.

This is a really good place to stay and the trips they offer are great and good value for money. The scenery around the hostel is fantasic. Nothing bad to add.
