Set in Marloth Park, 36 km from Crocodile Bridge, Kruger Park Hostel offers accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and a garden. With a shared lounge, the property also features a terrace, as well as a bar. The hostel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. Friendly hosts. Good location host gave you suggestions on what to do in Marloth. Enjoyed seeing the animals right next to you. Breakfast and supper were offered. However, we missed this as we were on early and came back late to the accommodation. Restaurants' prices are fair, and food over all was decent. Will recommend Kruger Hostel to Friends.

At the hostel, every room has a desk and a patio with a mountain view. Joy River Backpackers provides certain units with river views, and each room has a kettle. The units will provide guests with a fridge. We loved all the area around and the place itself. Mariette is very gentle and a great person. Best restrooms ever. Definitely recommend this amazing place

The hostel offers a continental or Full English/Irish breakfast. Loved this place! Felt so cozy and homey. Lots of open spaces and common areas, there’s also a pool where guests can cool off. Kitchen facilities were right at the dorm room which was so convenient. There’s a stove, microwave, and fridge that guests could use. The location is great too. Sure, it’s not at the town center but it’s in a safe, quiet residential area. If you need food, there’s a SPAR just 20 minutes away on foot, as well as a couple of restaurants. The staff could help you order food for delivery too. If you need to go to the town center, it’s easy to book a cab from here. It’s easy to book tours. Dave helped me book the perfect tour and found people I could join to cut down expenses cause i was traveling solo. The staff were great! They were all friendly and helpful. Dave and Bella were the perfect hosts, made me feel right at home! Wish i could have stayed longer!
