A very nice and welcoming family made us feel at home at once. We felt safe walking around in the neighbourhood and met a lot of friendly sowetans. Lunghi, the owner of the house, has lived his whole life here and he is a very interesting and authentic guide with strong opinions about the development since apartheid.

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.

DominikSolo traveler - Avg. price/night: $36.528.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 389 reviewsAmazing setup in a place less visited. The hostel seems to have enamoured itself with the community and we felt very safe wandering the streets back towards the museum on our own. The bicycle tour was amazing, take the long version. It's really not that far and well worth it. As for the hostel, very chilled setup and great opportunity to meet the locals who are employed by the hostel. Don't hesitate to stay the night.
