The place looks a bit rundown but it seems that there is engagement for improvement. It seems like there is no management, but the people who hang around try their best to make guests feel comfortable. The provided a free night-game-drive, and kept the party going. If you want to have it neat and quiet - better avoid that place.... More

We chose BIBS for camping for a couple of nights. The campground is ok. A straight piece of grass and close to the car. Unfortunately, the first night, there was a party till 4'o clock in the morning. Not nice. Unfortunately, some of our food dissapeared out of the fridge (delicious chicken!). There isn't also that much room in the... More

BiB's is your typical backpacker's, but slightly dingier and with far less friendly staff. Worst of all, our room was infested with bedbugs. I didn't realize until after leaving (we stayed just one night) that I had bites all over my side and back. Having experienced bedbugs before, it was obvious to me what these bites were from. We are... More

I actually stayed at Bibs in Feb 2010 so they may have fixed up the place by then. No wonder this place was not on the Baz Bus travelers handbook it is a dump. They showed me three different rooms before I decided on one...that was the one that smelled better than the others. Torn sheets, broken locks, A/C that... More

The swimming pool and pool table were a hit with our kids. We camped, so hard to rate the rooms and sleep quality. The bathrooms and kitchen were fine, but could have been cleaner. The staff looked like it had been pared down for the season. The ones left were friendly. We would stay again, but beware if you camp... More

The place is really big. however, it really looks like the owner doesn't care and has just let it become completely run down. We were there during their offpeak season, which was probably a good things as the kitchen is badly equipped (e.g. only 2 stove plates which worked...). The double rooms were airconditioned, which was really nice. The pool... More

After seeing all these worst reviews we booked this backpackers bcoz we booked at last min so no option. But It s good not too bad. Its not for visitors who love calm environ. It s just loud music, night party, teenage enjoyment. Room service is good. Maid is cleaning kitchen from 7 Am - 10 PM. Its clean but... More

I stayed at BIBS twice in my 3 years in South Africa, once in December 2008 and recently in April 2010. In 2008 BIBS was nothing special and it served it purposed in the sense it provided me and my friend with a bed and a place to stay during the evenings, it is a backpackers after all. We stayed...

Unfortunately I can't really comment on my stay here, b/c after making a reservation (in the off season no less..) we could not check in to get our room. Arrived around 9P, lots of people around and a few staff members...none of whom had keys (although they knew we were arriving) We waited about 45 min, then ambled down the... More
