I stayed here with my twin daughters as we were on a journey to Cape Town for a wedding. They were accommodating with putting myself & my small girls separate. My girls loved the feeling of a home and to sit outside & eat breakfast while you feel the fresh air all around. Security is good that is why they... More

Bob & Joan Beggs host their guests as if they are a favorite Uncle and Aunt. The accommodation itself is comfortable, nicely appointed, clean and attractive. The breakfast/dining room is open to the court yard with a beautiful in-ground pool landscaped with Joan's lovely rose bushes and other blossoming beauties. Bob offers a small bar on the premises and his... More

This place is comfortable, clean, inexpensive, friendly, laid-back and basically everything you could want in a hostel. However, it's not a party place at all and can be quite quiet but the owners are always around for a good chat and it's very close to the airport (just about a 10 minute drive - and the owners will pick you...

I was shocked and dismayed at our experience at this backpackers. I made a booking for my boyfriend and I to share a double room, and for our colleage to stay in the dorm. No questions were asked, but when we drove in, the owner immediately said we couldn't stay there because our colleague was black and the other people... More

I was looking for a private room at a reasonable price and this fit the bill. Very nice, hospitable owners, safe and ample parking, located very close to all major highways leading into and around Johannesburg. I would not stay here without a car as you are a bit far from the more interesting parts of town like Melville, Parktown... More

My friends and me stayed here twice, it was very good. Bob and Joan are extremely helpful; pickup at airport, but also drove us to a supermarket when all others were closed to buy some meat to join them in the bry they were having, and Joane even helped remove some weird stains from my jacket. There is a pool... More

We have just stayed here and found it excellent value. We stayed in the double room and found it very clean and comfortable. The area itself is about 20ks away from Johannesburg city and is extremely safe, we took a walk upto the restaurants/ bars a couple of times including after dark and had no issues. Also a special mention... More

I stayed here for one night during a business trip, to allow me to go on safari to Kruger over the weekend. I booked via the internet, and Bob collected me from the airport - a great help. Yes, the location of the hostel is a little far out from the centre, but it is close to the airport and... More

I would recommend Bob's Bunkhouse and would stay again if I needed to be near Johannesburg airport on a trip. The location is convenient if you want to be near the airport as it is very close. If you wanted more time closer to the centre then the location may not be so convenient - depends what you need. There... More
