    An extraordinary host, who took great care of us. The lady booked us a great restaurant, made sure everything went smoothly for us throughout our stay. She even took time out to do my hair 😁. She has a very nice Guest House project, a safe place, with relaxation areas coming up and we wish her all the best for success.

    This is by far one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in. The staff are AMAZING! Super friendly and really helpful. The hostel is clean, well equipped if you want to cook and the meals they can provide on request are tasty and reasonably priced. I did the 4 hour bike tour in Soweto with them as well which was brilliant. I felt super safe in the area as a solo female and will definitely go back. Really easy to get Ubers into Joberg for museums etc.

    When considering a guest house in Soweto. This is definitely one of the best. I have stayed here twice and the rooms are clean and beautiful just as you see in the pictures.The yard is quiet, safe and clean, so is the area. There are definitely rooms that are better than others as well as we had an even better room on our second stay. The caretaker is a very nice guy who makes sure you're all set and is there when we need him.

    What an amazing stay. This is a gem. Giving a rustic colourful african theme to this space feels so inviting and welcome. The staff are more like Family, they make you feel like your a part of the family. It feels like grandma's home. Offers many fun, interesting activities to do. Nohra is an exceptional high spirited and inviting host. I am definitely coming back here and this time for much longer. Thank you so much for an amazing heritage weekend.

    The location is quiet and safe and the property is clean. There is absolutely nothing wrong with the property, just an unprofessional host who prefers to take conversations offline from Booking.Com so that she can ask for more money than agreed on the booking platform. She was kind to offer a bottle of bubbly as we were celebrating a special occasion.
