Location was superb - right across from the ocean and big bonus a WHALE breached right across from out room!!

Not much really, a gas braai on the balcony would have been nice?

"Our stay was super comfortable and loved that the room overlooked the sea. Spectacular views."

8.0

We loved the beautiful view of the oceans and mountains, the sound of the sea, and the comfortable big King size bed and comfy chairs. Plenty of space to relax and lounge about in and read our books. I loved the touches of antique furniture and the carpeted floors in the bedroom.

"Okay for a shoert stay"

7.0

On the positive side, the bed was very fresh and extremely comfortable, and the sea view was nice. However, compared to another stay we had for the same price (where breakfast, welcome chocolate, and a much warmer atmosphere were included), Olava Guesthouse felt overpriced and underwhelming. If you just need a place to sleep for one night, it might be fine. But for anything longer, I would not recommend it.

Overall, it was okay for one night, but I would not rate it higher than 7. The price of €50 per night felt steep considering that nothing was included — no breakfast, no welcome touch, and not even basic soap in the bathroom. For a guesthouse, it came across more as a place to take advantage of tourists than a warm, welcoming stay. The room had many small shortcomings: cupboards were not properly cleaned, and the shared kitchenette felt rather questionable. There were also a lot of rules to sign off on at check-in, which didn’t exactly set a smooth or friendly tone.
