Experts' Choice Award Gibela Backpackers Lodge
What the experts agree on
Gibela stands out for its exceptional cleanliness and organization—spotless rooms, well-maintained dorms, and a peaceful vibe. Owner Elmar's local expertise is a major plus, though the strict 9pm check-in cutoff and no-smoking policy may feel
“Immaculately organized hostel with a restful atmosphere, tastefully decorated rooms and single-sex dorms... Strict no-smoking policy and no check-in after 9pm.”
– Rough Guide
Lonely Planet "One of Durban’s best hostels, it has sparkling surfaces and rooms neat enough to pass an army major’s inspection... and helpful owner Elmar is the man-in-the-know about all things Durban and beyond." Full review
