I booked two nights in Stumble Inn based on recommendation in Rough Guide South Africa and because the rating on hostelworld.com was fine. A day prior to going to Stellenbosch I came across the reviews on tripadvisor and honestly thought about cancelling my stay at Stumble Inn. But as I had already invested the non-refundable deposit and a one day... More

Please stay somewhere else, very unsafe place, no security, random people wondering in and out who weren’t staying. Loads of people smoking in common areas. Not a very nice place I’m afraid. Wish we had spent a bit more money on somewhere more central in Stellenbosch.

Didnt like it at all. It smelled really bad and the dorms and bathrooms were not really clean. They don't even change the sheets regulary. One Guy in our dorm left one night before us and they didn't change his sheets after his departure. The next person slept in the same sheets. The staff was fine but Not really that... More

Stayed at the Stumble Inn campground 3 nights with my girlfriend as part of an overland trip in the end of December 2012 and was not too happy about the place. We got nearly no sleep due to the noise and poor layout of the place (bar/common area next to camp ground). There is constant very loud music in the... More

The girl that helped us when checking in, was not interested at all in helping us and did not explain anything. We had a private room next to the entrance of the hostel and kept hearing people coming in and out all night. The bed sheets were to small for the mattress (which resulted in sleeping on a filthy mattress...)... More

We showed up at this backpackers with no reservation. We got a double room (what we asked for), but in the second location of this backpackers, 50 meters down the road. This was a rather scruffy place, the bathroom in particular. A bit rundown place. The backdoor (to the backyard) of the house could not even be locked! Although they... More

Stumble Inn is a great place to hang out for a few days. We came to South-Africa to buy a car, but couldn't find anything to our liking in Cape Town, but we found one in Stellenbosch. After arriving at the Stumble Inn the manager George went out of his way to help us. He helped check out the car... More

we camped in the backgarden, which really is just a backgarden, The kitchen was clean but there was a bit of backlog as people don't always clean their dishes.There is a TV accessible to everyone. The people are nice, but they don't go out of their way to please/help you. There are limited parking spaces available and it is just... More

Stellenbosch is a bit short on budget options and I guess that's why most will continue to stay there. The good thing about the hostel is the friendly owners that really knows a lot about good restaurants in the area, tours and are really friendly. Location and the fact that it's really cheap also helps. Apart from that this is... More
