kagiso N.
If you leave early and ask for a refund, they deny it. The place is very unhygienic, with filthy, stinking showers and toilets. Be careful about everything you see on Google.

Dirko M.
The internet is very fast, and it’s cheap if all you need is somewhere to sleep. But the beds are worn out, the bathrooms are barely serviced, and the place badly needs maintenance and upgrades. Hardly anyone is at the main gate to open and close it. If you enjoy camping, those issues might not bother you much.
Collette M.
Filthy dirty and a health and safety risk. I wouldn’t recommend this place at all.
Sizi M.
Paljas is lovely and close by, and the Wi-Fi is good, so I’d go back. But the service is kak, and the owner needs to train the employees in customer service. The cleaningness also needs improvement.

The service was good, but the loud neighbours and rustic surroundings made this a poor fit for me.
