This place is associated with surfing, but in reality, non-surfers can stay here. However, you can book surfing lessons. The grounds are very clean – everything is thoroughly cleaned and washed every day. A buffet breakfast is included in the price (muesli, oatmeal, yogurt, eggs, apples, bread, toast, jam, peanut butter, milk, butter, flaxseed, and sunflower seeds). The beds are equipped with two USB ports and lamps. There's also a small shelf. There are several showers and toilets. Two adorable dogs and a cat live on the premises. The location is not central, but within walking distance of the main attractions. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the staff are friendly.

当初ドミトリーに予約を入れていて個室に変更したのですが、 先に泊まっていたアメリカ人ゲストの荷物が共有部に散乱していて不安を感じました。オーナーさんが巡回もせず注意もしないので、秩序が保たれにくい状況だと感じます。 個室に変更する時も何の気遣いもなく差額を徴収されました。 ボランティアの方の対応はいいのですが、設備面で満足できませんでした。エアコンや扇風機などが一切ないため汗をかくほど部屋が暑いです。寝ている間もずっと窓を全開にしていました。 風呂場は過去のゲストなどが置いていった石鹸などが放置されており物の置き場がなく清潔感がありませんでした。部屋や風呂・トイレは古いタイプの鍵で毎度開け閉めをするのが面倒です。ちなみにタオルは有料です。 総じて、オーナーさんの利益を追求する姿勢が顕著に現れていました。もっとゲストのことを考えてくれれば快適な滞在になりました。悪い評価に反論のコメントをするよりも、行動に移していただければと思います。

Salty Jackal is a relaxed quaint backpacker super close to the center of Swakopmund. You can easily walk to the dunes or to the center of town for dinner or shopping. I stayed in the backpacker's room which has three bunk beds. The space in the room is a bit tight but comfortable, nonetheless. While I was an issue came up with one of the showers so there was only one shower to share amongst all the guests. Overall, I think that the value of the hostel is worth the prime location and the niceness of the staff. Every single person was helpful including the two new volunteers.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Salty Jackal. The staff is exceptional, and there’s a genuine sense of community that makes the place really special. The camp is in a fantastic location and is very well set up. There are daily group activities that create a great atmosphere and make it easy to connect with everyone. The management is super friendly, and the volunteers bring such a positive, welcoming vibe to the whole experience. But the real highlight of the stay is, of course, the surf guiding sessions. The coach is excellent, and the spots are always perfectly chosen — often completely empty, which is something you almost never find elsewhere. It truly makes the experience unique. I 100% recommend it. Thank you, Salty Jackal for these 2 amazing weeks :)

The place is close to the beach and perfect for exploring the town on foot. I didn’t join any this time, but they also arrange different tours, so it seems like a fun spot for a longer stay. Above all, the staff were super friendly and gave me so much positive energy. Even if you’re traveling solo, the nice common areas make it easy to have a fun and relaxing time. Highly recommended:)
