Island Vibe Backpackers in Knysna Although it certainly was value for money, it was clean and comfortable. The only issue I had was that room #1 shower had only had luke warm water regardless of when I showered. That waa not nice at all. Furthermore it was a great stay.

Clean and lovely The room was clean and the stuff was super nice. I would book it again. The stuff let us stay in the leaving room while waiting for our bus.

Fun night in Knysna We had a good time in Knysna and the Vibe at this guest house definitely attributed to it. You felt like family with the way everyone was interacting and the late night braai carried on had good laughs.

Cool, friendly and welcoming enviroment The service was lovely, and our room was clean. It has a great location, and the staff even has a board with things to do around town. We were three girls and didn't feel unsafe once. It was a very cool and welcoming experience.

Slept fine but weird atmosphere The hostel was okay. The room was nothing special, but also not bad. The walls are paper thin however, we could everything our neighbours said.
The atmosphere in the hostel is kind of strange for a hostel. It seems that a lot of locals sleep there, and there weren't that many backpackers. If you're looking for a fun backpacking hostel, I'd look elsewhere.

Spartan room, no heating The location on Main street is very far from the city center so no possibility to go to dinner on this same street and even less on the port on foot in the evening. The place is mainly for backpackers who do not need comfort. I was surprised that it was surprisingly quiet in the evening. I took one of the only single rooms that was quite spartan: bed not very comfortable, spacious bathroom with walk-in shower but no heating so very early September in South Africa, especially if the day is rainy, I shivered all night even with the blanket. Very average value for money. Fortunately, the team is friendly and very helpful.
