I loved the ocean view. The environment is serene and safe.

Hot water pump switch off quickly while you still drenched in soap.

"WORST STAY EVER - APPALLING ROOM - HORRENDOUS EXPERIENCE - NO VALUE FOR MONEY! EXPLOITING CUSTOMERS!"

1.0

Ocean view, fast wi-fi

I have been traveling for Business and Leisure for the past 30 years. I always use Booking.com as I place high reliance on their rating system. I use filters for a minimum 4-Star Rating and an average customer score of 8+/10 to identify properties that are of offer similar [good] quality and service level. This venue, 14 Penguin Place, had a 4-Star Rating as a Preferred Partner of Booking.com and a 8.3/10 rating. These ratings are IMPOSSIBLE, based on my experience 5 days ago! I am APPALLED and OUTRAGED by the fact that this place is part of Booking.Com's Preferred Partner Program with a 4-star rating. I would rate them as 1-star (maximum) - just for the prime location and fast wi-fi. The average score of 8.3/10 is definitely NOT a true reflection of the property. It is FAKE NEWS!!!!! I booked a "DELUXE Triple Room with Sea View" (that is the only room that was available). I had certain expectations based on the high price and the fact that the property has a Booking.Com 4-Star rating. I also compare the property with others in Melkbosstrand that I had stayed at, but were fully booked unfortunately (these are less expensive and of extremely high quality.). I feel RIPPED-OFF that I paid R1545.33 per night (no breakfast) to stay in a DELUXE DISGUSTING Triple DUMP!!!!! See pictures of what the room and kitchen look like inside. I found a long black hair on the shower floor (I did not want to shower afterwards, as it seemed unclean). There were also dust and sand on the floor(unclean!). The double bed mattress felt like a waterbed and I could not sleep on it – had to sleep on the single bed. It seems that the rooms have not ever been renovated since 1960 - broken tiles, paint coming off the wall, moulded and cracked ceilings, big open hole leading to rooftop, etc. = SCRUFFY!!! Aircon does not work, which I PAID for. WORST PROPERTY EVER! This place tarnishes Booking.

"one of the best guesthouse. What made our stay so wonderful was the brilliance of the owner."

10.0

I did not have breakfast with the lady. The owner, a middle-aged woman, was absolutely gorgeous. So pleasant. I really enjoyed her wonderful personality, humor, and just her presence. As I visit many guesthouses per year, I can easily rate this one as one of the best.

She must supply her tenants with sandals to enjoy the seaside more efficiently, as I had no sandals.

"Für eine kurze Nacht okay, Aufenthaltsqualität nicht vorhanden"

5.0

Die Lage ist unglaublich gut!

Vieles ist ein wenig zu abgenutzt, durch die Nähe zum Meer wird alles klamm/ feucht, es riecht schnell nach Gas sobald jemand warm duscht.

"Ocean view from my bed / Kitesurfers paradise"

10.0

We had a fantastic stay here, although it was far too short! The unit was clean, comfortable and had everything we need. The ocean view from the bed is incredible and the sunset was amazing. The direct beach access is perfect, especially for kitesurfing or windsurfing. I rented my kite gear from Molo Africa right next door to their guesthouse, which made it super easy. We enjoyed it so much that we’re already planning a longer stay next year when we return. Thank you Santie!

Nothing that came to mind, they said they are slowly upgrading the place so i will see next year
