Guest Reviews
- Mulungufhala (8/5): - The whole place is amazing
- Will (5/5): - The apartment had a broken window in one of the rooms which brought in a lot of cold air the heaters weren’t working a gas heater was available but had no gas had to wait for an 2 hours for gas to be brought they brought in replacement heater which one was broken they came in to fix the window with a plastic and tape and there was 6 people in the apartment at some point strangers we don’t know coming in and out the apartment in the evening the apartment is good and looks good but it lacks maintenance and the hosts employees lack some professionalism.
- Phumudzo (7/5): -
- Nombuso (3/5): - its spacious The place needs maintenance and a few renovations and the bedrooms need to be more private
- Siyanda (8/5): Enjoyable Stay at Maboneng Penthouse - Size of the room,cleanliness,double showers. We couldn't watch TV.
- Dimpho (10/5): -
- Noni (10/5): Penthouse life - The penthouse is centrally located. Easy access to almost all you need. Victoria was always available for assistance. Located on a busy street but when inside the penthouse, you can't hear the noise from outside. Beds are so comfortable. Will definitely visit again. Please consider having a door for the bedroom for privacy purposes. Would be nice to have a toaster as well.
- Shanapinda (6/5): - How spacious it was. The door lock did not work properly, it was worn out and is not being maintained.
- Willemse (8/5): - Space and the bathroom was comfortable Some maintenance is needed
- Sesoko (3/5): Disappointed really - Firstly when I booked the penthouse they didn't send us the unit no and secondly the penthouse was double booked so we have to pay R400 extra so we could get another unit and it was inconvenience for coz we already had a budget the worst lift where not working so we had to use stairs to 7 floor and the penthouse was not prepare for any visitors plus the wi fi was not working worst experience ever we where so disappointed
- Cekwana (9/5): -
- Kagiso (10/5): -
- Thulisile (9/5): -
- Lebo (6/5): The host was very helpful and accessible - The location is perfect.
- Nhlakanipho (9/5): It was good value for money. - I like the amount of space and seating that was available. The access card for the gate was not made available to me, so every time I wanted to leave the building with the car I had to go to the security guard first. Apparently the guests who had stayed there before me lost it/left with it.
- Fungile (10/5): Exceptional - The place is very big and clean That the bedrooms doesn't have privacy
- Nomfundo (8/5): Awful - There was no power for the whole day on our second day. We had to use the stairs from ground floor to the 7th floor. We couldn’t cook and we had to enquire with the owner he was very rude and didn’t even offer us power banks/ lights so we can be able to request food since we couldn’t cook. Also yes the bedding was white but the pillows were dirty
- Maggie (9/5): Superb -
- Gugulethu (5/5): Passable -
- Bridgette (1/5): Bad stay, host communication lacks. - We didn’t make it, the host cancelled us.
- Tiisetso (1/5): Bad - I booked this place 10 days in advance, but the host cancelled my reservation on the day of check-in. This was extremely unprofessional and caused significant inconvenience for me. Despite having ample time to communicate any issues, I received no prior notice or explanation for the cancellation. The lack of respect for guests’ time and plans is disappointing. I would not recommend this host due to their unreliable behavior.
- Sibonelo (9/5): Superb -
- Bruna (3/5): Poor -
- Mokgotho (9/5): Had a great time! - The place looked exactly like the pictures. It was a lot bigger than expected and we had the best time. Next time will definitely be booking to stay inside, and not as accommodation for being out on the town. It was a bit difficult to get in touch with the host, we had no contact with the host all weekend.
- Malatjie (9/5): Superb -
- Dibakwane (2/5): Unorganised and Unprofessional - That we had a place to stay The owner of the place was completely unprofessional. We had booked the place 9 DAYS in advance. Everything was okay, we payed for the booking. The NIGHT before we were due to check-in, she calls and says she had mistakenly double booked the apartment as it was also listed on Airbnb. She had offered a refund or for us to be moved to a bachelor apartment for the price we paid. Plans had already been made and it was too short notice for us to book elsewhere. We ended being up cramped in a bachelor apart because of her not being organised and being unprofessional!! ABSOLUTELY DO NOT RECOMMEND!!
- Maverick (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mcewen (7/5): bathroom - the bathrooms.. and no privacy for both rooms
- Thee (10/5): Exceptional - Everything
- Melody (10/5): it was clean, friendly staff,private and we could call them anytime for extra things we need, even - our place was self-catering, and we had a lady meeting us on arrival, she met us helped us with our bags and even gave us a tour of the place. the lift, it's just slow
- Ntwanano (7/5): It was okay - The location and space The glass that separates the main bedroom and the other bathroom needs repainting
- Tshepiso (10/5): Exceptional - N/A Projector screen was not working
- Kamohelo (3/5): Was okay and then not okay - The building manager was a lil rude and hostile towards us guests.
- Kamohelo (6/5): Pleasant -
- Sphumelele (10/5): Beautiful space, good energy all around. - The location was perfect, absolutely amazing, enjoyed my stay here, eveything was central , the people and the vibe of everyone is great! Can’t wait to come back again Nothing

- Narvis (8/5): Very good -
- Motsoeri (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peo (10/5): Exceptional - The staff was really patient and very welcoming,the place was clean,had clean towels, and cleaned bedding. Also, I loved the aesthetic of the place .There is a plethora of restaurants and clubs nearby, which was a good thing for us, and the apartment also has a nice view of the city.
- Pfarelo (5/5): Great space but stressful check-in. - It’s a lot of space which was great and has some nice views. Enough toilet paper and towels. Check in was a nightmare! I sent a text to the contact person when I was on my way, got there and she didn’t answer the phone. I called numerous times and even the owner wasn’t answering my calls or responding to my texts. Next thing apparently the contact person is overseas and her daughter comes to give me the keys. Then the place had not been cleaned yet by the grandmother. So walked on to a dirty place that was still being cleaned it was a lot. The Wi-Fi works but they don’t have Netflix or anything so you have to use your own logins. The overhead projector and the tv in one of the bedrooms doesn’t work. It’s a great place but they need to work on their management. Not sure I’d go back.
- Carvalhal (8/5): Very good -
- Chris (1/5): Bad - The size which accommodated even my children The Building is not maintained at all and its very dirty. Lifts do not reach the parking area. They are in a terrible state. In two occasions we got stuck in one of the lifts.
- Mazibuko (10/5): Exceptional -
- Pholo (10/5): Nice property - Spacious and very articulate and artistic Security personnel
- Portia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tshwanelo (10/5): It what just perfect, we didn’t even want to leave - The aesthetic of the property is beautiful and the location is pretty central to everything. The staff there were pretty accommodating and all in all the property is exceptional in and out
- Kanye (8/5): Very good -
- Nomsa (5/5): Passable -
- Kinisha (9/5): Great place - The space Place had dust.
