Guest Reviews

- Larissa (8/5): Great Option if it's within a Budget - The apartment is exactly like the picture and what you can expect There were cockroaches within the unit , When booking there is an additional free of R175 free for cleaning , yet nobody came to clean the unit . A mop and broom was provided for us guests to clean . The walls of the apartment are quite thin , which makes it uncomfortable to hear the noise from the other rooms
- Khoza (1/5): - Nothing Bathroom light was broken, no TV remote, staff who was supposed to help us was not available. I had to go to the security gate to get help

2. Cleanliness 1. Saw a dead Cockroach🪳 in the fridge, that kinda threw me off😬 (I'd suggest roach extermination before check-ins maybe)
2. One toilet paper (I'd suggest maybe 2 toilet papers just to be safe)
3. The tap water tasted weird (yea that specific tap water tasted really really weird honestly, might need to buy yourself 10litre bottle(s) before checking in there)

- Buaka (6/5): -
- Qubeka (7/5): -
- Motaung (9/5): -
- Sibanda (7/5): -
- Sivuyisiwe (4/5): My stay was mediocre. - We did not get served breakfast as we chose the self catering option. The kitchen utensils need to be changed. They’re old and very hard to use. A cleaner was never available to clean up our beds or atleast change sheets
- Bopape (5/5): - It was quite cheap and comfortable. The place was dirty. There were spider webs and cockroaches indicating it hadn't been cleaned in a while. The noise from other neighboring apartments at 2am was annoying.
The bathroom light was also not working.
- Selina (5/5): - The room is well furnished and everything u need to feel at home The smell on the passages and there were people who smoked inside the building and my bathroom would be full of that smell as the windows are right on the passage. The bath towels are old. They need to get new ones. And my couch was not stable to sit on. Didn't even bother watching TV the whole time I was there cause I had to watch it sitting on the bed
- Bukari (8/5): -
- Xolani Nkululeko (10/5): -
- Sir-Zen (7/5): - The peace and quietness. Plus the security. We had cockroaches & in my own opinion the rooms can use some continental pillows or extra pillows.
- Blaise (10/5): -
- Ismail (10/5): -
- Nobuhle (10/5): - This place was like small heaven,clean,beautiful, the area was peaceful and quiet we ended up leaving the car and taking a walk because it was safe Nothing
- Maria (8/5): -
- Audrey (10/5): - There was no soap in the bathroom which was disappointing. But everything else was okay
- Igdalia (3/5): I was honestly disappointed especially by the lack of service. - It was clean when we got there and the location is really close to Eastgate mall. The room blinds fell off when we got there and when we tried to contact the person in charge they were nowhere to be found so we had to be sleeping in the open with no blinds the whole time. The bathroom light was also not working which means they don’t double check before people come or they just don’t care, not forgetting their couch which was falling apart.
- Rhaioldy (8/5): -
- Ismail (8/5): Pleasant would recommend to my friends and family - Close to amenities. Clean and comfortable Had to go outside to smoke
- Ipyana (7/5): Our stay overall been good, but a suggestion that the rooms should be cleaned at least twice a week. - Location is good, but breakfast was not part of the package that we booked. The toilet did not have toilet papers
Using same beddings (thought it would be bettert to be having fresh beddings every two days)
- Adyam (10/5): -
- Rhaioldy (7/5): -
- Itumeleng (7/5): Lakeside Review - The ecstatic of the place is real good The ceiling of the place and the fact that there was a power outage in the area and the generator wasn't necessarily doing it's job
- Patrick Aphane (5/5): -
- Keaeboga (6/5): My stay was fine but the was a smell outside was very bad - Close to shop The smell in the building
- Sibajene (9/5): -
- Zwanyi (7/5): Good - The location was quiet. There's no back up power. My first night here there was no electricity in the area (during winter).
- Xolani (5/5): Passable - Good location and safe It was cold at night and there was no extra blanket in the room. The WIFI code was not displayed anywhere and had to request security guard to get it for me.
- Sibajene (9/5): Superb -
- Sibajene (9/5): Superb -
- Queenita (8/5): A peaceful and enjoyable stay, just let down by the DStv issue. - We really enjoyed our stay the apartment was clean, quiet, and comfortable perfect for a relaxing getaway The DStv connection was very poor and we couldn’t watch any channels during our stay, which was disappointing
- Sibajene (9/5): Superb -
- Ndlangamandla (8/5): Very good -
- Ramokoka (7/5): It was a great experience and it’s also a very good deal for your money. - The staff, pretty much friendly and how the host responds to emergencies/ problems encountered in the apartment? Exceptional! Where the pool is located, and the fact that there were no fleas blankets. Also, the AC of other apartments not working.

- Samantha (1/5): Dirty and disgusting place - Nothing Everything!! We had to leave the second we got there due to the place being in a disgusting state, dirty, filled with cockroaches and the care taker Rob didn't answer any of our calls now the property is refusing to refund us even though we never stayed. This is terrible service. I would not recommend anyone to stay in that horrible place!
- Sanele (7/5): Good -
