We had an amazing stay at this backpacker! the staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable. There are great facilities available for everyone, including a huge kitchen and living rooms. Although there's no official breakfast, they do provide bread and jam to use. Our room was spacious and had its own bathroom and kitchen, which was fantastic. We wished we could have stayed longer than just one night. the location is close to the shore and the cliff path trail, making it easy to explore the beautiful surroundings. The city center with restaurants is also within walking distance. Cons: Nothing, it's perfect! 💯.

The accommodations were well-maintained and clean, with a spacious double room and bathroom combo. the kitchenette and fridge were convenient, and the off-street parking right outside our room made it easy to come and go. the big garden with a barbecue area was perfect for relaxing and socializing, especially for friends who enjoy going out at night. the pool and pool table were great additions to the overall experience. the friendly staff and central location made it even better. We'll definitely be returning!
Felt very fortunate to have discovered this gem, as there was nothing to complain about.

I recently stayed at Backpackers & Budget Accommodation for 2 nights and it was a pleasant experience. The manager, Jacqualine, welcomed us warmly and provided great local recommendations for restaurants and attractions. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable, and there was a homely lounge and kitchen area with fridges for guests to use. The free coffee and tea available in the kitchen was a nice touch. The location was convenient and parking was available. a very pleasant stay.
Couldn't recommend this hotel more.

I had a wonderful stay at the backpackers. The staff was incredibly accommodating and helpful, making sure all my needs were met. I felt safe knowing I could store my belongings in a locker during the day. The added bonus of having backpacker pets around made it feel like a home away from home.
A few other guests weren't great at following backpacker etiquette, like cleaning up after themselves and the fridge could use some cleaning.

My stay at the backpackers was way more than I'd ever expect from a budget accommodation. The room was in a house around the corner from the main complex, providing a private and intimate atmosphere. The lounge, kitchen, and garden were all well-maintained and added to the cozy feel of the place. The cleanliness was exceptional, and I couldn't believe I was staying in a budget accommodation as everything was so nice. The staff running the place made it even more special, creating a welcoming and homely environment. I'll definitely be back if I'm in the area again. Thank you for everything!
Nothing, all was good 😊

Loved the natural beauty surrounding the property and the neatness of our room. . the owner was kind and welcoming, and we were upgraded to a family room with our own kitchen and a quiet atmosphere. Great location, just a 5-minute walk from the beach and center.
We were disturbed by another guest knocking on our door at 3:00 AM, but the owner apologized for the inconvenience. . Some long-term residents gave off a different vibe than backpackers, and the bunk beds were quite noisy.

The location of the hotel is excellent, within walking distance of all the highlights and attractions of the area. Guests have mentioned that the rooms are comfortable, especially the 2-bed rooms, and some even describe them as spacious. the bathrooms are also a standout feature, with one reviewer specifically mentioning that they were spacious and well-maintained.
Some guests have mentioned that there were some issues with the staff, specifically in regards to smoking marijuana in the presence of a child.
