I am extremely disappointed with the service—what a complete scam. I informed the reception that I would be flying out from Lanseria Airport instead of OR Tambo, and they assured me it wasn't an issue and that everything was booked. However, when the time came, they showed a total lack of professionalism. I ended up having to book an Uber myself and missed my flight because the hostel couldn’t give me a clear answer about what was happening. To make matters worse, they had the audacity to say they couldn’t provide the shuttle because the destination wasn’t OR Tambo, even though they had previously told me it wasn’t an issue. I would have been fine if they had been upfront from the beginning, but the problem is they waited until it was too late, leaving me scrambling to find an Uber, which led to me missing my flight. After this terrible experience, I requested a refund for the trip to the airport, as they failed to provide the service, as well as a refund for the third-day visit I had planned once I returned. They ignored my request and refused to reimburse me. I absolutely do not recommend them—they exploit tourists and treat them as cash cows.

I had a great stay at this hostel in Johannesburg! The people here are extraordinary—always ready to help out if you need anything. The guided tours they offer are amazing, packed with interesting and important history. The rooms, bathrooms, and common areas are all clean and well-maintained. Each room comes with lockers for your belongings. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this hostel to anyone visiting Johannesburg!

If you want a great experience that’s affordable, you should definitely check out curiocity! The staff, the tours around town and the overall service is excellent. It’s my first time traveling alone as a woman in her early twenties, and the staff made me feel safe and comfortable the entire time. I can recommend curiocity to any woman or man traveling alone for the first time. You also hear about the culture through the locals, and see Johannesburg through their eyes, which I personally think is the best way to learn and understand a foreign country’s culture and history.

I absolutely loved my stay at Curiocity in Joburg. They have the essentials like clean bathrooms, warm water, and a comfortable bed, but they also have lots of bonus features like the bar, outside, lounge, balcony, and pool. The tours offered by Curioicty are worth your time: the guides were knowledgeable in many niche topics and went above and beyond to make sure we felt safe in the big city. The employees are all very kind, and many stayed after their shifts ended to hang out with us (Verna and Tanya ＜3). The location is located on a tourist safe streets with lots of places to eat, shop (convenience and knick knacks). Highly recommend Curiocity in Johannesburg!

Staying here for the beginning of my groups South Africa travels was wonderful. Everyone who worked here was amazing Marvin the manager was great and accommodated for our group very efficiently and effectively. Everyone who worked there was wonderful I wish I didn’t have to leave. I also made a special connection with the girls which was so great. Tanya, Bontle and Verna were amazing people! They took us to the surrounding places to eat and drink we have such amazing conversations and experiences with them.

I brought a group of 16 American students here and I don't even have words for the quality of kind hospitality we received. The tours were excellent and informative and the team kept our students safe while also showing them a fantastically good time. Bravo! Highly recommended.

Just completed a super insightful tour together with Kaizer. We dived into Maboneng's rich history, culture and art. I can only recommend going on the tour with Kaizer as he's got an incredible knowledge of the area as well as the city's and country's history and recent developments.

We absolutely loved our experience walking through Maboneng and the inner city of Joburg with our awesome guide Ikoh. Ikoh was not only super informative about this vibrant city, but he provided such an in-depth knowledge about the nation's politics and people which created some amazing discussions. The street art and artist initiative in Maboneng is impressive - highly recommend! Thank you again Ikoh for showing us such a wonderful time, from your Australian friends Jen and Liam.
