    The toilet did not flush properly, even after several attempts, and there seemed to be a leakage because there was water on the bathroom floor. The bedding also wasn’t as clean as we would have liked, we noticed makeup stains on the sheets, and some pillows were dirty. Besides these issues, everything else went smoothly. With a few improvements in cleanliness and maintenance, this guesthouse could offer a much better experience.

    It's at a good location for a great price

    Renovate the rooms to look better than they are, offer everything a BnB has to provide, soap etc.

    No breakfast was offered whereas on Booking.com it seems as if there is.

    The breakfast And my room wasn't as nice as advertised or seen in the pictures

    The breakfast wasn't appetizing. I had to skip breakfast on my last day. The place could be nicer if renovation can be done. Hire more stuff.

    The place is dirty. Room are not properly cleaned. We had to ask for another room because the room we were given initially was not clean at all. The curtains are really dirty, you can actually see that from the outside.

    The location is great. Comfortable bed.

    Attitude of the people there and they shouted at me for paying via Booking.com. They then changed a room for me to an even lesser quality just because I paid via Booking.com

    It’s situated on a main road which means car activity throughout the night. It wasn’t unbearable but it’s not my preferred option either.

    The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They communicated well and adjusted rooms based on accessibility. The shower has great water temperature, big shower head and is clean

    The owner of the property was rude upon arrival. The entrance gate is not safe, you have to get out of the car to press the intercom on a busy road. The owner wanted us to pay twice after paying through booking.com, telling us that there are no rooms reserved for booking.com. Up to now, we have not got a refund despite our attempts to contact the property directly as advised by booking.com

    Nothing to like about this property.

    They should improve room #9. You can't be paying R600 for room that looks like a backroom where unwanted furniture has been made stored. 👎 The breakfast also should be improved. Add options for brown bread for someone who doesn't like white bread. The bread tasted like cud. Also improve the koo beans. They should not be served directly from the tin. Fry some veges and add to them.

    The receptionist is very kind. His treatment made calm from the displeasure I felt after being tossed around about confirmation number and being removed from my initial room.
