I stayed at Bamboo in the beggining of may for a couple of nights and I felt really really welcome there. Samu, Luisa and Hendry are awesome people, they help you to organize your trips and anything you need. The other staff were also really friendly.. I stayed in a private room with my boyfriend and it was very clean... More

My stay at the Hostel was just great! I stayed in the female dorm with aircon and our own bathroom. The beds were not the best, but I slept good and they were made everyday. The pickup from the Airport worked out really well and they even picked up my mum at 05am who wasn't even staying at the hostel,... More

Every time I travel to Fiji I always stay at Bamboo. The staff are incredibly hospitable and welcoming. This backpackers is one of the few hostels that really focuses on the Fiji experience and keeps it local. It is close to the airport and other hot spots in the Nadi area. The staff have organized package trips to the north... More

Definitely the best place to stay in Nadi if you're after; value for money, yummy cheap food, chance to meet loads of travellers, amazing... More

The Bamboo Hostel is close to the beach and there are a few more hotels in this area. But you have to go further to the islands. In Nadi maybe it is the best place . Why? They have great staff and they will help you. If they offer the North Combo do this, because it is the best deal... More

We had an amazing time at Bamboo! It was our first time in Fiji and there is no better place than Bamboo to learn about 'Fiji Style'. The staff is truly amazing and very friendly and helpful. Senga Nalenga (no worries) about anything as you are in Fiji! Rules are a bit different. Keys are not necessary (which is great... More

Stayed here 1 night (coming back from the Yasawa Islands before our flight the following day). The crowd is late teens / early twenties. It's great for what it is: cheap / clean accommodation.
