The best accommodation in KL!”
There are so many new hostels and hotels which claims to provide you everything, but most cannot sustain for a long period of time. BackHome KL may have operated for nearly ten years. I stayed in 2016 and this year (2019). In 2016 I felt comfortable in the dormitory room, that beds are not too close to each other as well. This year I wanna try something different: the private double room which is also an impressive experience for me. The staff especially the security guard at night are so friendly and helpful. The air well traditional building with cosy design and both social / individual space is also appreciated. Surely BackHome is one of the strong reason for me to visit KL again and again! Hope this hostel can continue the best service in the long run.

Exceptional”
As a group of 6 people with a mixture of family and friends, Back Home hostel has a pretty comfortable environment. It's in a central location 10min walk from the little Chinatown market, 10 min drive from the towers, and about a 30 min drive from Batu cave.The staff was also helpful in scheduling and arranging transportation to ensure that we receive the best prices. The atmosphere was industrial chic, and pretty social if you're willing to converse. As a result I connected with a lot of great people, and received great travel tips and recommendations for travel throughout Maylasia. Also breakfast is included.

Great staff! ”
first time in KL and I am a female solo traveller. Check in time is 3pm but I arrived early at around 6am. I was just hoping to leave my bags and go around the city a bit. But the staffs were so nice to offer to let me rest inside the entertainment room. They also informed me that I can use their shower room if I want to. The place is clean and not far from the LRT station. Though the neighboerhood is a bit quiet (which is totally fine with me!). Overall, I totally recommend this place!

The best so far! ”
Nver had a hostel experience as personal as this. We cane from the Philippines 🇵🇭 and landed in Singapore about roughly 5hrs travel including the wait times in between. We arrive in SG around 12MN and went straight ahead to KL to make use of the waiting time. Imagine how exhausted we are as we hop on 3 countries..but KV.. KV was the best frontline. We are suppose to check in 3pm but we arrive early in KL i think that was 9amish but KV was very kind enough to welcome and had us eat free breakfast and made her way in even checking us early as scheduled. Never had so much relief in my life until KV. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH BACKHOME KL ♥️

Wow this place blew me away! Such an amazing hostel that is close to the train station. Staff were incredibly nice and actually remembered your name haha. Washrooms were always clean and the beds were really comfortable. If you're lucky enough to stay there on a thursday, they provide a local malay breakfast which is DELICIOUS! One of the best hostels ive stayed in throughout Asia.

Excellent Hostel”
The best Hostel we stayed in our 4 month travels in SE Asia, the staff are upbeat and extremely helpful, rooms and shared bathroom facilities are clean and location only a few minutes walk from the train station, we stayed here twice and it was excellent both times. Other backpacker hostels could learn from the way this hostel is run. We highly recommend this place and would stay here again.

Incredible hostel!”
Pros: Great hostel which is centrally located near Chinatown and the local train. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the rooms are clean with great air conditioning systems and wifi. Cons: Their laundry services are on the higher end compared to local places and it takes over 24 hours to get the clothes back.

Awesome Place!”
A modern, clean hostel with great staff. Really enjoyed my time here. Close to transit if you aren't using Grab, rooms are spacious with A/C and big lockers, bathroom is clean, showers are hot, and you get free breakfast. Hard to argue against this place. Would definitely stay here next time I'm in KL.

Felt like home”
So friendly staff and people. I extended my stay from 1 night up to 4 nights. Kuala Lumpur really surprised me and this hostel made my stay even better. They had family dinner with Malaysian food and breakfast included. One day they also have Malaysian breakfast, which was really fun to try and so good. Took 25 minutes to walk to the twin towers. There is a free bus 5 minutes walk from the hostel that takes you to the twin towers (bus station outside Starbucks). Would absolutely stay here again.

This place was great! The people at the front desk were really helpful. When I had questions about getting to the places I wanted to visit, they took the time to help me out. I had an early bus to catch at the airport and they packed toast for me since I wouldn't get to eat breakfast. It's about a 2 minute walk to the train station and there are a lot of places to eat at outside if you don't feel like trying out the food they have. I would definitely come back and stay in this same one.

Backpacker heaven”
I have been backpacking through SEA for 5 months now and this is actually one of the best hostel I've stayed in! Free breaky, Netflix movie room. So many little areas to chill out. The beds and rooms were huge and comfy. The deposit was cheap, towel hire was only 5 RM. Such luxury. And the staff were just amazing!!! Try the cafe next door, OMG yum! Be sure to get a local Kopi susu. Thanks guys will def be back if I'm back in KL!

One of the best hostels I've stayed”
Nice breakfast, comfy bed and cozy furnituring style. It's a good place to meet cool people from all around the world. The owner also warmly provided some traditional Chinese specials during the Spring Festival. Close to the train station, but can be a little annoying for single girl to walk near at night cause there are many Indians around. I'll surely choose Backhome next time I'm in KL.

It feels like back to home!”
The hostel is comfortable. All staffs are very nice and friendly, also helpful. The location is strategic because the hostel is located near to the LRT Station so we could go to all the attractions in KL easily. For us, who doesn't have much money, we are helped by this hostel so much because of free breakfast in the morning. Every thursday, this hostel serves local breakfast so we could taste traditional food from Malaysia. Also we could make friends with other foreigners in the dorm which makes my stay here more funny. Next time if I go back to KL, I will definitely stay at Backhome KL. Thank you, Backhome KL for you nice service!

Staff are nice and accommodating. It's walking distance from most of the tourist spots in the city. I like it as well how close the hostel in the LRT station, and how you view the KL tower from the hostel. The shower room are clean too. Tho you need to pay for towel. But it's okay I guess. One thing I will remember in this hostel is that I was able to make new friends. I stayed for first time in mixed room... and I never regret it. It was one of a kind experience. Thanks Backhome KL for wonderful memories.

Good option ”
I stay here each time I visit KL. Clean ,easily accessible from LRT. and good restaurants nearby. Some of the rooms are nicer/ more spacious than others so it's a bit of luck. Last time I wasnt so lucky and had a small room with poor working AC. However, I've tried out a few other hostels and I keep coming back home! Did I mention clean? Good atmosphere ( not a party scene but just enough action so you dont feel isolated ) a cold and hot water station, areas to eat read and work. Overall it's a fair option!
