Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This backpackers was a great budget-friendly find—close to other resorts and right near a beachside club with a fun live band most nights. The staff were really friendly, and I appreciated the reasonably priced private room, which was simple but comfortable for what I needed. I did come across one large cockroach in my room, which wasn’t ideal, but not uncommon in tropical areas. On the upside, the friendly dogs around the property and the easygoing vibe with other backpackers made it feel very welcoming and social. There were also taxis readily available right outside the venue. A solid choice for travelers who want a chill, affordable stay in a great location.

Great Affordable Stay

Highly suggest bamboo backpackers. Tex, Mary and all of the staff are exceptionally hospitable and friendly, room was very clean. Make sure you go to Kava time and enjoy the kava! And take the fijian cooking class, Excellent spot to stay! Also, please don't touch my papayas.

Great friendly staff. Pod room is ok, pods are great. Needs a small shelf in the pod. Wifi could be better. Add microwave to the kettle they already have. It's always kava time at the bamboo and everyone is welcome.

Bedbugs

I don’t know how this hotel stays in business. The air conditioning didn’t work, the bathrooms had nothing to offer as far as towels, shampoo, working toilets, and toilet paper dispensers. I sweated my butt off the entire night, and the person in the bed next to me had bedbugs. The bed, sheets, and pillows were outside, on the ground, in the sun to kill the bedbugs that morning. Never, ever stay there. I would never recommend it.

Good budget option for a stay in Nadi. The facilities are generally clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly as well. You‘ll find some restaurants and a supermarker in the area. Unfortunately, they still had an issue with bed bugs and offered us a new room which was not occupied by the animals. They took immediate action but with guests changing daily they should check their beds more regularly.
