Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A great hostel in Islamabad. I enjoyed my visit here. Great WiFi. I cannot comment on the bed because both times I stayed here I was awake all night socialising with the locals...... I also rented a motorbike from their sister company. It was a good bike and took me to Kashmir. The owners Alisha and Haris are nice guys and will give you great advice. I will come back to Pakistan in August and will certainly stay again.

Stayed there at the beginning and end of my Pakistan trip. Super reasonable prices for Islamabad, very clean and best shower I had in all my trip. Perfect to meet other travelers. Thanks Haris for your hospitality!! I'll be back when I come back to Islamabad :) Annika

I didn't expect much more than a hostel when I arrived at Backpackers Hostel & Guest House. The owners and employees were incredibly friendly, and would often invite me to hang out with them. I had originally planned to go to Khunjerab by bus, but Harris offered me to rent a motorcycle for only $15 per day! For comparison, in the US, renting a motorcycle costs $100 per day. I accepted, paid a deposit, and went on my adventure. There were plenty of other cool folks doing interesting adventures as well, so there was no shortage of company. The team at the hostel also let us cook dinner for everyone. It was over all a great time! Islamabad is my favorite city in Pakistan, and a great home base for any adventures you plan in the country. There's a marketplace right around the corner from the building, and you can get anything there for really good prices. I highly recommend staying at Backpackers Hostel & Guest House

This hostel makes me feels I'm staying in home. Warmed with hospitality and treat all the travellers like family. Cozy room & relax space to meet others. Expert Pakistan knowledge from Elisha, the founder that really helps my journey smoother. I meet a lot of other travellers here that sharing some tips for my journey. Remember to try Kabuli Pulao nearby this hostel that recommended by the founder.

The common area is nice and the people working there are ok. The front twin room is a noise nightmare (front door banging/clicking, upstairs banging, outside corridor voices). The beds were clean but best not look under them! Private (awful) bathroom. Lots of wildlife at night. Stayed one night rather than three.

We loved this place! So much in fact that we stayed 3 weeks in total. The guys and girls who run it are some of the best you'll ever meet and they made us feel so at home. The facilities are really nice and the rooms are superbly air-conditioned! We really couldn't speak highly enough of this hostel! Go there!

I stayed in this hostel, for many days and came back again and again. I made great friends and its amazing how foreign people also like to come back to this place again and again. Host is super kind and friendly "haris". Elaisha and Ahsan who are managing other activities are like brother too me now. The location and views are superb. I have great memories and if any one of you want unforgettable memories do stay there.
