Centrally located to easily explore Swakopmund - we are all about SURFING | SUSTAINABLE LIVING | FOOD - and we love to show our guests our town & our county. Staff are available almost 24/7 to give quality local information on activities, gastronomy, sights, surfing and anything else. Salty Jackal boasts a laid back, personal atmosphere where you mingle with fellow guests, share stories and good times. *Beautiful garden with olive trees, veggies & herbs to cook with and an awesome dog and cat for animal lovers *Numerous quality surf breaks within a few kilometers *Safe storage for boards & wetsuits *Self-catering: fully equipped kitchen & BBQ area or sign up for home-cooked dinners *We speak English, German, Italian, Afrikaans, Albanian, Dutch, French *Walking distance to beach, dunes, supermarkets, restaurants, pubs, laundry, surf shop *Table tennis, slackline & mini gym *Swakopmund is small & one of the safest towns in Namibia -perfect on foot, by bicycle or by taxi for those late nights;) Salty Jackal was built in the 1960s, renovated in 2009, and blends together old-world style and quality with modern, comfortable and simple living. Decorated to inspire surfing and quality food while also showcasing our breathtakingly beautiful Namibia.
Average Stay
Reviewed By ninatG9490FVOverall my stay was okay. The hostel was neat and tidy, but I think there is room for improvements. The staff is all volunteers which means they don't know Namibia very well. It's a clever business model to have a full volunteer staff, but not super helpful to customers who need travel advice about the country. At least 2 locals on staff who would be great to answer questions. I also didn't like that the cleaning staff was all black locals who didn't feel integrated into the hostel. It gave me apartheid vibes, Swakopmund in general gives apartheid vibes. It was like the black cleaning staff was there/present, but not to be heard or seen. The volunteers sign off on the cleaning staffs hours at the end of the day and are told to "make sure the cleaning staff does all of their work." It's like the owner trust the all white European volunteer staff that he just met a few days ago and who will leave within a few weeks more than he trust his fellow Namibians because they are black. Black Namibians are capable of more than just cleaning, maybe consider hiring locals to answer questions about the area. Be sure to read up on the history of German and South African colonization of Namibia before your trip to add some context to the environment. The cancellation policy is also not helpful for backpackers. When you're backpacking you don't always have a plan. I wanted to stay in Namibia for two weeks, but I wasn't sure what I wanted to do. I paid to stay at Salty Jackal for two weeks and only stayed in my room half the time because I ended up traveling the country. I thought the rate for a single room was too high since you don't get a private bathroom. In a single room you still have to share a bathroom with everyone in the hostel. Lastly - all of the pets are super sweet. However, I often saw the cat hanging out on the kitchen counter and dinner table which is gross.

Perfectly adequate
Reviewed By hapitravellerSpent one night in the rooms here. Our room was in the second floor in a converted shipping container and we had no issues. The shower has warm water and the beds were comfortable. It was quite cool weather when we stayed so there was no issue with the lack of air conditioning or fan. If you open the window there is a lovely breeze, but no fly or security screens so it’s not an option to leave it open at night while you sleep. The room was quite clean, but the curtains are a little old and could do with replacing. The location is fine, walking distance from the city centre and next door is where many tours start into the desert. There is a small canteen to buy drinks and snacks and they offer a laundry service.
