Awesome place to stay, very clean and big with a cool outdoor part, has a cafe attached and has fast wifi but this is the only downside to the hostel that sometimes it can feel more like an internet cafe. Have stayed here twice now and will again, one of the cleanest hostels I have stayed in.

Very modern and well looked after hostel. The staff were very friendly and helpful; even arranging a taxi for us in the early morning before we even had to ask for it. The private double room we booked was clean and spacious too, including a private sink. We would definitely recommend the hostel!

I try to book this hostel every time I'm in KL and each time I'm impressed with the progressive changes that have been made. The staff are friendly and helpful while the design is sleek and functional.

It is really big. So it is more a hotel atmosphere what I personally not prefer. However, everything else was pretty good.

wifi is always broken and the room condition is extremely poor. The staff and the people are very very friendly, however 300 per night for a hostel is ABSOLUTELY not worth the experience in backhome.

Great hostel. Modern design with big, solid beds and very clean. Could use a bit more comon space given the size but still a great place to stay.

I could not have been more impressed with BackHome. Super clean, super comfy, and the staff was very helpful. This hostel is only a ten-minute walk from the Pavilion and the Petronas Towers. Thanks for the fantastic stay, BackHome!

BackHome is a beautiful hostel in a great location in Kuala Lumpur. It is a very modern hostel with privacy bunk beds that don't shake, lots of personal storage, huge lockers, an air-conditioned TV room, powerful WiFi, fantastic staff, an attached cafe with delicious food, free breakfast, free maps, great showers with hot water, and a great atmosphere. I really enjoyed my stay at BackHome.

It was an ok place to stay but i think lacked a bit of atmosphere or vibe, could have been the jetlag and location is very quite.

Me and my friend stayed in a double room/shared bathroom, so it was pretty good and safe. Our only problem s that we arrived pretty late so we couldn't rent towels cuz they were all gone, so this was a bit annoying, but the hostel itself is very nice and the staff is lovely and helpful.

The hostel is very well designed and I've never had such a pleasant stay in a dorm room. I stayed in a four person dorm room and the bunk beds are designed so that you won't face anyone while you sleep and each person has their own privacy. There's also a small storage space next to each bed where you can charge your electronics and store things. The lockers are also really huge. It's a great place to meet people here too.

Really nice- an oasis of calm in a hot and hectic city. Also the architecture is really admirable.
