The B.I.G Reviews

This was such a great hostel, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpfully with planning your trip an booking everything. The hostel was a 15minute walk to the waterfront and in a great location/area. The interior/rooms were incredible, so well decorated and the beds were very comfortable. I would recommend this hostel to anyone going to stay in Cape Town.

most friendly staff and very special atmosphere: The BIG is unique!

I loved staying at this hostel. Everyone was friendly and the staff in particular was friendly and helpful. Planning a day's event was smooth and seamless due to the care taken by the hostel owners and staff in making sure my stay was relaxing and stress free. Kitchen facilities were excellent and cleanliness was never an issue throughout my stay. I would recommend this hostel and definitely stay there again. I really enjoyed my stay in Cape Town and this hostel was part of that enjoyment.

The BIG was our home away from home. Amazing hostel with amazing staff. Definitely one of the best hostels i've stayed at.

This is the best hostel (globally) I've ever stayed in! I felt welcome and being at home abroad every single second - and truly made new friends! Will come back as soon as I can :-) Cheers Jess

This has been the best hostal i have ever been to. Amy created a place filled with joy, zest for life and an amazing atmosphere to come home to after exploring wonderful cape town. She and everyone else at the reception never get tired to suggest things to do and to share their love for life and South Africa with you. Even the dorms have an ensuite bathroom and the coffee is the best you will drink your whole trip.

Staff very friendly and accommodating. Well located for many activities.

The BIG is amazing: impeccably clean; relaxing, modern ambiance; many places to socialize; plenty of space; great staff. The staff facilitate guests making great connections with others. Staff make sure guests know where to go around town, and review a variety of activities and let guests know their recommendations. It is clear Amy, Lyn, Jess, and Jason are passionate about helping people travel well. I will be back again!

Amy and Lynda were very gracious hosts! The house is newly renovated and clean and organized. The location in green point is on a 10 min walk to the V&A Waterfront. Close to shops and bars.

One of the best Hostels I have been so far! Great rooms, everything nicely furnished, tidy, clean AND a super friendly staff which supports you in your trip planning. Did I already mention the awesome free breakfast incl. muesli, fresh fruits, eggs and juice?! I will defintely come here again if I visit Cape Town! Thank you Amy & ur Crew!
