    Not really worth the price you pay. Especially compared to a backpackers I'm staying in tonight which looks like a boutique hotel for R70 less with loads of amenities. Place was clean,staff are friendly. Breakfast bowl was replated with previous persons milk still left in it. So wasn't washed, just emptied.Pillows are completely worn down. I think it could do with a major price adjustment for what you get. Else, you'll need to step it up.

    My first time at a backpackers. Great location. Close to shops. Safe and secure - no issues. Fast WiFi with good coverage across the house. Good quality breakfast included in the price. I would definitely stay in a backpackers like this again. So glad I came here. Great experience

    The stay at Knysna Backpackers was quite enjoyable, which also related to the super nice staff & other guests that stayed at the same time. The house is really pretty, however a bit moist and thereβ€˜re only 2 bathrooms. Besides, the WiFi is really bad.<br/>The breakfast, however, was lovely and also, we joined a low tide tour guided by a volunteer of the hostel and it was super interesting.

    Very special house in a quiet neighbourhood in the center of Knyna. The gem of this place is Jason the manager, he will welcome you with a big smile and youβ€˜ll feel right at home. Sadly the WiFi didnβ€˜t really work but the rooms are nice and clean, breakfast is included and the outdoor area is also very pretty =)

    We had a wonderful stay in Knysna Backpackers, the hostel has all the necessary comodities (Wifi, kitchens, bath towels...) The staff is always listening, benevolent and we spent unforgettable moments with them. I highly recommend Knysna Backpackers!

    We asked for laundry service and they delivered our clothes wet. Even though they didn’t finish their service, they insisted in charging us. There are no way to keep your things secure. The atmosphere was not welcoming. The staff was basically on his phone the whole time. The house where the house is located is gorgeous but everything despite that was very bad.
