Liked: 1) Staff were very friendly and accomdating providing us with a fan to keep cool during the night. 2) exterior design- hamicks and tents and paintings were really cool. 3) Easy to navigate the backpackers. 4) kitchen facilities were sufficient having good space kitchen and cleanliness of the chairs. No dislikes at all.

Quaint. Was very quiet because of the lack of overseas tourists due to Covid. Room was clean and spacious. On-site amenities were great. Staff very friendly. Had a slight glitch where I ended up getting charged twice - once by Expedia and again on arrival. Once I realised this and brought it to their attention), they refunded me very promptly without question.

Stayed for a few nights around an event out of Westport. Great outdoors areas with a massive courtyard with plenty of tables and hammocks. Really chill vube and just nice and relaxing. Had a private room, everything was nice and clean, about what you'd expect comfort wise from your average backpackers. Would recommend as a good base for a west coast stay.

Awesome friendly and helpful staff. Great layout and facilities. Super clean and tidy. You can hear everything but they are good at the curfew of 10pm. Beds were not super comfy but you get that on the big jobs sometimes. Showers were amazing!! Definitely recommend.

Kitchen spotlessly clean. Room was cosy. Lots of lovely outside space. The ambient music was played too early in the morning and we could hear it from our room. Loads of parking. Close to everything Westport had to offer.

The staff were efficient and friendly - checked us in very quickly and we managed to put our stuff in our room and left for the supermarket within 5 minutes of our arrival. The premises was clean and pleasant. The common areas such as the large table in the kitchen and the fireplace were great for hanging out to chat with people we met on the trip. The room was exactly as pictured, a little tired, but clean, well appointed and spacious. We had an enjoyable stay - I would definitely return and recommend Bazil's.

What an amazing hostel! Comfortable room, great wifi, everything was clean, but what I especially loved what the overall character of the place. There is a big inner courtyard with plenty of seating and hammocks for guests to hang out. The entire place is painted with bright cheery colors. Owner was super friendly. Wish I could have stayed a few more days.

Would defiantly stay here again. Centrally locates to shops and eateries. They also had a good deal For dinner worked out with a place down the street. The rooms are what you’d expect, but very clean and warm. And the staff was very helpful and friendly.

Bazil's is an awesome stay if ya checkin out westport & the west coast. The place is fully set-up & gives the stayer plenty of options. If your after a cruisy, fun place to stay this is it. From the many out door adventures, surfing & mountain bike trips to the stone/oven pizza & movie nights, it's all about a good time. The place also features some great art.
