Diamond Diggers Backpackers in Johannesburg, South Africa

Dont buy tours at the hostel. You do not get what you pay for! Heavy smoking not very friendly staff. Pool is not clean, no big tv or jacuzzi as mentioned in Lonely Planet. Rooms clean and wiev fantastic.

The day you did the tour there was a taxi strike in the city which we could not control, not sure how you missed the jacuzzi as all the other guests enjoyed themselves in it that night. As i can recall you had dinner with management and staff that night and even told us when you were leaving that you had a good time here. With regards to the smoking all are guests smoke in selected areas. As for the large screen cinema tv the lonely planet has not updated its review since 1999. The pool was not at its best due to the heavy rain that whole week as you will recall. otherwise it was a pleasure sitting with you and the staff all night in the kitchen discussing your travels.
