    On arrival the staff did not know about the booking. But immediately when provided with the details, assisted us with a room. Coffee/ tea station was not usable, coffee and sugar were old and hard in their respective jars, no milk was available. Soap container in Bathroom, shower was empty, and no hand soap provided.

    Room was spacious and spotlessly clean. Caretaker was helpful in staying up late to open gate after we returned from our function.

    The Wi-Fi was bad,couldn’t access it unless I am by the reception. Only had one towel in the bedroom when the booking stated that it will be two adults in the room. To get in the compound we had to call the employee or hoot,we had no control of that. He was a kind man though and the room was clean.

    Safe location

    Felt safe, and slept well. Maybe add a loadshedding schedule to the room to assist in time planning?

    • Stayed 1 night

    We weren't given towels for 2 people, and were not able to get hold of the owner/manager to arrange for one. This was complicated by the unexpected load-shedding, which made cellphone contact impossible. Although offered beforehand, we were not offered local breakfast (only offered to buy out and deliver - not acceptable) Although very friendly, maybe have the person receiving us wear slightly more decent clothing (over-worn, stained T-shirt unbecoming of such an establishment)

    Venue is in a safe, quiet boom-controlled suburb, close to Sandton Mandela Square, etc. Vehicle is given under-roof parking.

    Got there at 3pm our room was not ready, 30 minutes later we were still waiting in the sitting area for them to finish fixing our room. I asked for a room to just leave our bags because we had somewhere else to be and we came back to this room opened even though we had locked and left with the key. Such and invasion of one’s privacy is not something I welcome especially because after going in there to do “whatever” they didn’t even bother to lock again. The beds are without headboards we had to use pillows as shield from the cold from the walls. There are no aircons’ so the rooms are extremely cold. The DSTV was not working, we couldn’t even watch TV …

    The location is great, the place is clean and quiet.

    I didn’t like the fact that I made a booking, paid for it and only to arrive and to be told it’s fully booked. The hose couldn’t find my booking, and doesn’t know how to give me a full refund. I just want a full refund.

    Double booking fiasco!
    • Leisure trip
    • Couple
    • Deluxe King Room
    • Stayed 3 nights
    • Submitted via mobile

    The description of the room size was misleading and forced us to request another room resulting in a huge problem with the accommodation. The staff were incompetent. The owner left individuals in charge who made decisions which resulted in us having to leave within hours of arriving. We had to argue for a refund, and the owner took a very long time to take ownership for the poor service we received. There was little accountability for the double booking they made which ended up in us leaving despite being the first group of guests to check in. It was very disappointing to be treated that way.

    The establishment was pleasant, well located and generally good value for money.

    Waited for over 10 minutes outside only because the didn't hear the bell. The worst host. Didn't greet.Honesty worst attitude. Opened the gate and left us outside without telling us to come in. Was not aware of our booking. Only for him to come back again and ask why we are waiting at the gate. Refused to separate the beds for us because he was already sleeping and its night time. Honestly it was unpleasant. Felt like I asked for a favor to sleep over there, whereas I used my money to pay. Not to mention the sheets that was not changed. The white sheet was not changed. It was dirty.

    The area. Safe and secure. The shower and basin and mirrors. Comfortable bed.

    • Stayed 1 night

    We have booked for 1 night 2 months prior to check in date, a month before check in date we had changed the dates. Upon our arrival, no-one was aware of the change made and they told us we had to book in the previous day. We also specifically requested a room with twin beds, but when we asked for such a room again on the day of check in, we were told they do not have any rooms with twin beds. Their solution was to give us separate bedding. This was unacceptable so we decided to rather not stay.

    We did not get to the breakfast The location was fine. It was a bit of a busy area but manageable.
