I really liked the accommodation. It is located within walking distance from the bus stop and taxi rank. nearby and also within walking distance of the city center, Main Street, observation decks with stunning views and the beach (but the water is terribly cold and you will not be able to swim in any of the beaches in Plettenberg Bay). I was met by a pdministrator named Debbie. She is very friendly and smiling, tried to help in everything (even in things that are not part of her duties). The reception has all the information about the attractions nearby, local taxi numbers (bolt taxi does not work in Plettenberg bay), information about restaurants and their menus, and you can book excursions. the room itself was very clean, including the toilet was in perfect condition. there is a TV and everything that is stated in the ad. on the downside, I spent only one night at the location, but the electricity was turned off twice (both times in the evening) (but there was no light on the entire street, or maybe in the entire city, so it's not the fault of the accommodation). Plettenberg Bay itself is amazing (and safe even after sunset)

The accommodation was clean and comfortable. Debbie is a great manager and took good care of us. This is our second stay there and we will definitely return!

Amakaya Backpackers & Apartments failed to provide us with a welcoming experience. Upon arrival, the reception staff showed little interest in assisting us, leaving us to figure out everything on our own. The room locks were particularly problematic, as their mechanisms were difficult to use and far from user-friendly. The staff's attitude was outright rude. Their messaging system was filled with unnecessarily long and complicated instructions, making it frustrating to find essential information, like Wi-Fi codes or instructions for the locks. Instead of being concise, they overwhelmed us with irrelevant details. The manager's tone in communications was also aggressive and disrespectful, which only worsened the situation. Our group booked five rooms, and the experience was marred by an excess of negative restrictions rather than useful guidelines. Overall, the unprofessional and discourteous staff contributed to a disappointing and frustrating stay. This was far from the enjoyable travel experience we had hoped for.

The property manager who's name was Debbie treated us terribly. She had bad attitude which was very shocking for a person in hospitality industry. I'm from KZN and often travel to Plett but due to Debbie attitude I will never stay in Amakaya Backpakers ever again.

The place was very underwhelmed and a disappointment. Although it is centrally located, the establishment, especially the main building area was just not up to scratch. We lived upstairs and had to use the shower downstairs which was also used many other guests. The fact that there was no generator put us off, because we had to wait for 2 hours of loadshedding to get our clothes ironed and that made us late. The furniture can be changed because it is old and the so-called lounge area looked pathetic. My overall stay was not that great, glad we only stayed there for one night.

Hospitality was top notch. Room and area super clean. Staff was friendly. Receptionist went out of her way to make people feel at home and even went out of her way to pick me up and drop me off at the bus stop
