Reviews of Ballito Backpackers

The two-sleeper apartment had a beautifully furnished wooden balcony overlooking the sea, perfect for relaxing and enjoying the view. As a longer-term business traveler, I appreciated the fully equipped kitchen and the gas braai on the balcony for convenient and enjoyable meals. The king bed provided a comfortable night's sleep, and the en suite with shower was clean and well-maintained. The free Wi-Fi and TV with Open View decoder kept me connected and entertained during my stay. Although street parking was available, the option for off-site secure parking gave me peace of mind.
Personally, I found the access to the upper floors by stairs only a bit inconvenient, but others may still find it manageable.

the location was perfect, being close to the beach, restaurants, and a Spar supermarket. I didn't need a car to get around, and the 2.2km promenade was great for walks and enjoying the scenic views. the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. I appreciated the privacy of having a ladies-only bathroom for one person at a time. It was also a bonus to have a nice view of the sea from the room.
The accommodation was affordable and provided everything I needed for a pleasant stay. Cons: N/A 👍.

Spacious two-bedroom sea-facing apartment with a wooden balcony and gas braai. It felt like having my own beach house, sipping a cocktail on the balcony while enjoying the glorious ocean view. Pure bliss!
Cockroach problem in the rooms.

Sea-facing apartment with a wooden balcony and gas braai: We were blown away by the stunning view from our balcony, it felt like our own personal slice of paradise. Grilling our dinner on the gas braai was a delight and added to the overall experience.
Noisy street nearby.

Great location: The hotel is conveniently located near the beach, clubs, and restaurants, making it easy to explore and enjoy the town. Peaceful beach access: The highlight of my stay was being able to walk to a beach with a minimum amount of people, allowing for a peaceful and relaxing experience.
it would have been helpful to have basic amenities such as a kettle, iron, and utensils/cutlery provided. Poor customer service: The staff did not handle issues well.

My room was spotlessly clean, privacy was great, staff were friendly, low rates and convenient location.
Nothing at all.

The value for money at this place was great, and the room itself was comfortable and clean. The location was perfect, close to the beach and with nice restaurants nearby. The staff were friendly and made us feel safe.
Breakfast items could be improved, maybe by offering a wider variety of options to cater to different preferences.
