Blue Sky Mining Backpackers & Lodge Reviews

Dear Vera, We regret that you did not enjoy your stay with us. Unfortunately we have guidelines in place that we must follow, and we cannot break them for one client, while upholding them for another. While the staff always does their best to assist the client, they cannot go beyond the guidelines set for them as was requested. As you know, we are a business, so we aim to satisfy our customers for a reasonable rate while still being able to maintain and improve the business. We believe our internet costing is in keeping with the general internet rate, and that our restaurant prices are competitive with restaurants nearby. The transport cost is unfortunately outside of our control - regrettably the public transport system is generally under-developed in South Africa (when compared with Europe). The price for the personal transport service that we liaise with is very reasonable when compared to other taxi services that take you from one location to the doorstep of another. There are other public services such as train and bus which transport at a fraction of the cost, but only to preset destinations, of course.

Hello Agnieszka, Thank you very much for choosing to stay at the Blue Sky Mining Backpackers & Lodge in Warner Beach. Furthermore, we do appreciate your honesty with regards to your comment on Hostelworld.com. We do regret that you disliked all the rules that have been implemented over the past few years in order to ensure a smooth running of the business. Other customers do appreciate it a lot though! In fact, the backpacking industry has changed tremendously over the past few years! It's not just about drinking until late, partying, etc. anymore. We do not advertise as " being a Party-Backpackers" as we want to ensure that all guests get to enjoy a "good night's sleep" after 10pm. Others who wish to enjoy having a good time are welcome to use close by amenities (local pubs and bars). Thanking you for your understanding. All the best, Blue Sky Mining Manager All in
