The Black Sheep Backpackers

Not a good hostal, super cold always, goki key app is super slow, receptionist is hating her job, training room that they advised is not open (in build), Sauna is broken every 2nd day. I will never come back to this hostal and would no one recommend to go, rather take the nomads hostal

Had a great time as this hostel. Room was clean and so was bathroom. Sauna was great too!

Decent hostel. Bottom bunks were a little tight. Facilities a little tired but overall good experience

Overpriced for the quality of the service received. The whole place smelled terrible (including room). Kitchen was not equipped to standard, way too little bathrooms for the amount of guests in the establishment. The bag storage was not locked and free for all to open.

Es war okay. War definitiv nicht mein liebstes Hostel. Die Zimmer war echt nicht geil die Betten Mega komisch. Oben musste man richtig hoch klettern und unten war kaum Platz. Bad war auch Gewöhnungsbedürftig, man duscht eigentlich im Dunkeln. Küche ist okay aber Handtücher und Schwämme könnten mal erneuert werden. Würde jetzt nicht nochmal dort hin.

Thanks a lot for the hot tub and the sauna! :-) The hostel is just 5 minutes walking from the lake! Nice garden und barbeque opportunity. The key rules anoyed me. I was always afraid to forget my mobile in the room or can't remember the code. It never happens - lucky me. :-) The storage in the rooms and the the fridge could be better. The rooms were small and the air was not so good. Nothing to hang wet clothes or towels.

Great location and rooms. Would be nice to have somewhere to change after your shower.

Cool, dass es Pool und Sauna gibt, die Betten sind jedoch sehr klein und niedrig.

Es war mein erstes Mal in einem Hostel mit Schlafsaal. Ich hatte eine tolle Erfahrung. Es gab reichlich Duschen und Toiletten die auch sehr sauber waren. Das Hochbett war ein wenig unpraktisch zu Besteigen, es erfüllte aber seinen Zweck. Abends war es auch sehr ruhig, sodass man gut schlafen konnte. Der Pool und die Sauna sind ein großes Plus. Gerne wieder!

Under the same booking but weren’t allowed in the same room. The beds are tiny, if you are on the bottom bunk you can’t even sit up. The kitchen is nice, bathrooms are good but small so king queues. Not what was shown on the pictures really.

I had the best sleep here in ages. The bottom bunk is quite a bit smaller than the top one. The showers are very small with no space to store your things, but everything else was clean and tidy. It’s a little bit away from the city center, but you notice that in how peaceful it is—I really liked that.

I can't really recommend this hostel and don't understand why it has such good reviews. It was pretty dirty, there were stains on the bed sheets, and the bathroom wasn't cleaned once during the four days I was there. The trash can was overflowing and the dishes were dirty. Overall, there are much better hostels in Christchurch.

Good location, friendly staff. Hand dryer did not work in downstairs bathroom. Kitchen, sauna, and laundry all had limited hours. The door to the dorm closed extremely slowly to a point, then slammed shut loudly, shaking the whole dorm. It was pretty mids. The pillows are completely flat, and the wifi was not reliable. In the showers, there are no hooks or shelves or anywhere to put your towel/clothes where they won’t get wet.

Keine Ablagemöglichkeit in den Schlafkabinen um z.b.Handy beim laden abzulegen. In den Duschen grundsätzlich ungenügend Ablagemöglichkeiten für Kleidung oder Duschzeug. Preise über Silvester Viel zu teuer!!! Sehr begrenzte Parkmöglichkeiten!!!

Really nice place, nice music, good location close to lake, toilets were always clean or under cleaning which is very important. I guess the only bad thing is the parking but there is a lot o places around to park your car if needed

Denise and Alan were great, very friendly and helpful. I met a lot of nice people in the hostel. Great location. The kitchen can get very crowded sometimes, but manageable.

A lot of potential. With some love & motivated staff it would be amazing. Location is perfect & the terrace with sauna and hot tub is great! Unfortunately it closes at 9pm leaving not much room to hang around. When it’s raining there isn’t really a cosy place to be. The kitchen is tiny and the lower bunks are soooo cramped I bumped my head quite many times.

Good social aspects not greatest hostel vibe, hit up more comfy ones but the sauna was properrrrrr!

Decent place, bag security through the day is slightly questionable, friend had not so pleasant interaction with some of the staff. Vibe was alright.

This hostel ruined the honeymoon my wife and I were on. We had a private room, but their bathroom cleaner came in unannounced not once but twice on my wife. The second time he stood watching until she asked if someone was there. The receptionist, Nicole, was unapologetic and told me “I didn’t have the facts correct” before offering to comp our stay for that night, that we’d already paid for which was rather insulting since we were the wronged party. I’d leave a longer review but I only...
