We arrived in SA not knowing what to expect, a tad nervous and apprehensive. Our fears were immediately put to rest - we had arranged to stay at Purple Palms - the hostel arranged an airport shuttle for us. We were taken to a lovely hostel not too far from the airport. The staff were welcoming and made us feel... more

I stayed at Purple Palms with a few friends while travelling around South Africa. We found the airport pick up service to be really helpful. The hostel is more of an upmarket backpackers and is very very reasonably priced for what you get. The gardens are well looked after and the house is well maintained and CLEAN - even the... more

Our experience with Purple Palms started when we arrived at 8pm to be told they had no record of the booking for a deluxe room with ensuite we made with BootsnAll several months before. We were offered a room which was basically an outhouse in the garden which had dirty sheets and was rather cold, but we accepted as it... more

From the beginning to the end of my stay at Purple Palms, it was a very bad experience and gave the impression of a very unprofessional place. The airport pickup was over an hour late, for which I had to call three times from the airport. Each time I called I was told that the car was on its way... more

The owner is in Dubai or something like that. The people running it are the UNHAPPIEST people I met on my trip. They claim to be underpaid and overworked. They were less than helpfull, unable to get the internet up and running. They took my credit card and did not give me a receipt even though there are signs EVERYWHERE... more

We where picked up at the airport soon after we had called Purple Palms and arrived at the lodge shortly after. The place is spotless clean and is well equiped. The rooms are lovely and have bathrooms and Tv's. There is an outside bar and pool that we made good use off. We took one of their day trips to... more

Unfortunately there's not much good I can say about this place. We booked on advice/listing from a guidebook. The only good thing is they will pick you up from the airport. On arrival we found out they don't take credit cards despite advertising that they do. We were leaving South Africa the next day and didn't want to get out... more
