"One of the country’s few black-owned backpacker hostels, with dorms, singles, doubles and camping. Walking and cycling tours, and volunteer opportunities in Soweto are also available."

"Lebo is the host of the best hostel in Soweto... It’s a healthy walk from the Vilakazi St action, but guests love the shaded beer garden, restaurant and pool table. Dorms are neat and clean."
