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.

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.

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.

I made a reservation strictly for spending the day before my flight to swim and shower. When I checked in I was told the pool, which is actually on the property next door, was closed for maintenance. I spent the day hanging around. When I wanted to shower, I was told the towels had not been returned from laundry yet. A wasted day. But the staff was really nice.

We stayed here on our last night in fiji as it was super close to the airport. We had a double room which was just a bed and a shower and toilet, everything we needed just for the one night. The staff were nice and friendly our room was clean and tidy the only thing that let this place down was the noise at night time. Across the road from the backpackers was a pub which on the night we stayed had a band playing. Between the noise from the music and the constant barking of dogs there was little sleep had. We understand this is out of the control of the property but worth noting if you plan on staying here to atleast have some earplugs. There was also no shared kitchen area to make food or hot drinks if you needed. Nothing supplied in room either.

Bamboo has a bad case of bed bugs! I heard about it before I stayed, checked the bed and stayed anyway, and am covered in welts after 1 night. It was loud, people will be singing and talking loudly outside your room out all night. Awful. You couldn’t pay me to stay here again. Friendly reception staff though. Cash only, be prepared.

Love bamboo

Ahhhh Bamboo backpackers. The place I keep coming back to. Note that it is under new ownership and now called Bluewater. You can’t beat the price- especially if you have a night or two to stop over in Nadi. The people working there are amazing they’re so nice. The bus to town is easy and it’s close to the airport. here are my tips: DONT BOOK THE CAPSULE. You will either suffocate and die in it or you will fall off the ladder and hit your head and die. The room is so small so there’s nowhere to put your stuff, the ladders are terrifying, and the AC doesn’t really work. Do not book the capsule. The big dorms are, well, big, but they get a lot of airflow and are comfortable. I’ve stayed in the women’s big dorm and liked it. You can’t beat the price either. Single room was fine- I always get nervous when there’s a bit of a mini kitchen with a sink near the bed…you might get some creepy crawly visitors- but that could happen anywhere and not just this hotel. PRO TIP: Try to stay in bluewater lodge behind bamboo. Same management, the internet works there (wink wink) and they have the pool there. Even if you aren’t sleeping there you can go hang by the pool and use the wifi. I stayed in the 4 person dorm there and it was lovely with good AC.

For a backpacking hotel, you should at least provide a communal cooking area for the guests as it’s a hot country, don’t even have a fridge to keep water and food cold (or store it). Don’t even have a kettle in the private room like advertised. Having the property split in 2 sites is inconvenient and it looks like one site is looked after more than the other. Poor internet connection in bamboo site, doesn’t even reach the room. Basically customers just get a bed and that’s it.

Not my first

I haven’t tried other dorms but I like the capsules especially cos room has aircon, power plugs and comfy beddings. Curtains for the top rows weren’t available like my previous stay and they only accept cash for hiring out towels and key. The check-in process could be better in terms of PR and informations - I had only found out the wifi is included and there’s a pool. I appreciate the fact that there’s no issues when booking last minute

THE PLACE TO GO IF YOU WANT TO VISIT NADI

I was at Bamboo for a week and I really enjoyed my stay. I was in a private room and it was just perfect, clean with all the comforts in it. It is an amazing place if you travel as solo, it gives you the opportunity to meet a lot of people since it is point of meeting for all the places around, It is very simple and the ambiance is top thanks also to the beautiful people who works there. SPECIAL THANKS TO Nic at the reception always kind and available Litiana who works during the night in the kitchen (open 24h) she makes sure you are happy with your food even if you are acting like a drunky ( such a sweet girl ) Mila who takes care of your trips on the islands and she makes happen the impossible..Thank you Mila!!

Backpacker's place...

This is the backpacker's hangout. You'll roll your eyes if you're not into the party scene, but you can't beat the prices and it's a good starting point for other trips in the country. The restaurant was pretty good too and decently priced, just be prepared to wait a while for your food. It's not really my scene, but I would probably go back if I were passing through Fiji again.

Feeling like home, authentic backpacker

The free airport-shuttle was very comfortable, the pre-booking was easy. We had a warm welcome from the whole stuff. everybodey was lovely all the time and did their best to provide us with everything we needed. We always got helpful information. the kitchen-staff does a great job, yummi food, afordable prices, godd portions. The free activities and kawa-cercle are amazing. Tax does by far more than you could expect to entertain and inform you about so many local subjects. She knows how to bring peolple together and gives you a great feeling with her never ending happyness. She`s a talented singer and handicrafter as well. We felt like being with friends. The restaurant and bar are open with seaview, beach-volleyball and kayaking possible. The whole place bostes with traditional backpacker atmosphere. Our room in the attached "Blue Water Lodge" about 100 meters away from the main building was basic but clean and mostely quiet. Some additional hooks or a bord to put your things would be helpful. The shared facilities are very basic but rather clean. Over all: the best place to stay at an afordable price in Fiji.

Great place to stay between flights

This hostel is located in a small remote cluster of the similar coastal accommodations on the other side of the airport. Used mostly for a short stay between connection flights, there's no reason to live here long as it's not the best part of Fiji. But for a short stay it's perfect. Friendliest staff are at the top of Fiji hospitality, clean rooms and dormitories with solo beds, descent Wi-Fi everywhere, electricity plugs at every bed, free airport pick up. What else do you need? The beach is right here, but the water is rather dirty and local guys come here by cars, thought they are all very nice.

Great value for money. Staff are so welcoming and helpful. We stayed in a double room with bathroom & it was very clean. Have stayed here twice now, and would come again - thank you

I enjoyed the shows the management puts on for the guests. I did not like the repeatedly failing electricity issues on the second floor at the Tropic Of Capricorn where they sent me for unknown reason. The staff is loud very early in the morning and very late in the night being very happy.

Shares a white sand beach with all the other hotels. Great value for the price.

Perfect location, however the staff is not as friendly as I thought (in general) and when I tried to buy food from the restaurant all the 3 options I wanted were not available. The sign says the pool is only for in-house guests, but on Saturday local kids kept showing up and jumping in the pool - that was a bit confusing.

Nice place on the beach and cheap! Atmosphere and staff are amazing. The tours I was excited about because they promoted them as ‘backpacker’, but learned it was the same run of the mill tours with the same silly tourist things and they were not cheap. Zip line and jungle walk for about $100 USD. I just rented a car and explored beaches, markets, and sand dunes for a little less than a tour and I had the freedom to go where ever.

Good for short stay

The backpackers is fantastic lots going on very social and well thought out. A great area to hang around in. The room was as described, but the fan did not work well. Also our room had faulty door lock. The manager was great and moved our room which ended up including aircon. This was much appreciated and made the stay great. We will be back again!

This hostel caters for travellers from all parts of the world and all ages, mostly adults - I only saw one child staying as a guest (but she was also enjoying herself). I stayed in a double room with a private bathroom, small bar fridge and air conditioning. The room was very basic, but very clean. Do not expect a kettle, coffee, tea or toiletries. You basically are given two cakes of soap and bath towels. Room was cleaned every day along with fresh towels. Food and drinks however are available 24/7 at very reasonable prices - I recommend the Eggs Benedict and curry of the day. The water is steps away from your room - it is black sand and the water is not clear, but it is warm and quite lovely and safe to have a swim. The swimming pool is clean and very refreshing after a day out. You can organise day trips from the hostel and travel into Nadi Town on a local bus that stops at the front door. You have an opportunity to meet lots of people or you can find a quiet spot for some private time. The staff are all very helpful and genuinely interested in ensuring that you are comfortable and enjoy your stay. I have stayed in many of the up market resorts in Fiji, however, they do not come close to the real Fiji atmosphere at Bamboo. The music and fun had in the nightly Kava circle is well worth sitting up a bit later. There were too many staff members to name who looked after me so well - but I felt very safe, very included and will definitely return. Thank you.

Bad lighting in the room and only one electric socket. The room keycard had to be reprogrammed every day. Otherwise mainly good.

Perfect hostel for perfect holiday!

Bamboo Travellers is situated on the beach and is beautiful! There is a swimming pool, you can rent kayaks and paddle boards and boat trips are on offer every single day. The staff are amazing! Especially Tex who played music with me almost daily and really made us feel special. Neel who drove us into town and came and checked on us regularly to see if we needed anything. Also Johnny was amazing and really helped us out with a few things. We loved this place and most definitely will be back, mostly because of the staff who really made our holiday special. I highly recommend joining in on the Kava drinking ceremony that happens nightly, it is a lot of fun, stories and music and you learn so much about the local culture.

Tropic hotel

We were moved to a sister hotel as we upgraded to a private bathroom. Room was nice with fridge, air con and balcony but bed was thoroughly uncomfortable. No dogs barking all night and a view of the sea. Very friendly staff.

Fine for a night

Basic room with a fan and a sink. No sleep due to dogs barking ALL night and open windows which wouldn’t shut. Shared bathroom includes 1 shower and 2 toilets. Great food in the restaurant and cocktails from the bar. The coach for the Yasawa Flyer picked up from the shop next door. Luggage room available.

Good location close to airport

Good option to spend a night before to catch your flight, because is pretty close to the airport. Food at the backpackers is not really good. I found it expensive for what it is. Nice outside area with swimming pool right at the beach. Showers are "cleanish", good enough, but I will said for that price you can find a better accommodation using Airbnb. Tourist information desk wasn't great, she wasn't keen to give advice and listen to me. Poor attention from the staff.
