Guest Reviews

• Mosalakatane (6/5): - The landscape was better. The rooms, no closet, no glass in the shower so the plastic door constantly sticking on me while bathing
• nkate (2/5): - Nothing
• Keitumetse (1/5): - I got there 2 hours after making my booking and I was told there was were no rooms available. They just didn’t care
• Guest (5/5): -
• Odiseng (1/5): pathetic - nothing I phoned a few hours earlier to tell them I will be a bit late They accepted When I arrived they told me it was fully booked The place was dirty and in a bad state of disrepair! The toilet was smelly
• Mingie (5/5): -
• Brando Oagile (1/5): poor services by staff need improve significantly - nothing very bad service from staff and didn't answer the phone on our arrival for check in . Called a few times and the number provided ended up switching the phone off .Booking for 3 nights confirmed on booking.com and out of nowhere we were told to vacate the property the following day as it was fully booked. very unprofessional and very poor services
• Joanna (7/5): - Beds comfortable The showers were not nice and it was a bit stuffy
• Lulu B (7/5): Peaceful and quiet stay - It's a quiet and peaceful place to stay There are no drinking glasses in the room, and I think they can improve by having coffee/ tea in the rooms
• Tebogo (5/5): - The staff were so helpful and out of this world. The place and area is nice, pleasant to stay. The house is a newly renovated space. No towels, no shower curains, no bath essentials... no courtesy tea, regardless of the breakfast. The bathing arrangements part
• Sipho (1/5): Bad service - Nothing but we liked the politeness of the housekeeper. Many things,bathroom rail was broken,including the shower curtain rail.There was no hot water.Blankets were dirty even when we asked for another blanket.There was no airconditioner
• Seikisa (1/5): It's a SCAM - It's a SCAM. They work with other local bed and breakfasts/ guesthouses to scam guests into paying more for their reservation . They told me they gave my reservation away. They give reservations away to people who are willing to pay more money. They wanted more money than my reservation on booking.com. when I wasn't willing, they told me they had no more room left since they work on first come first serve basis. This is endangering to people, because it was in a place I did not know. They said they called me to confirm if I was coming and since I didn't answer their call they gave away my reservation. There was no email or further communication. Because they knew I had no alternatives , they offered to help by calling another guest house they normally work with to have me sent there instead. I ended paying way more than the actual reservation
• Makgosa (3/5): Not pleasant. - The location of the guest house from the venue of the event They did not meet my requirements and didn't communicate about it. The room was dirty, head board was dusty. There were spider webs all around the room. No windows for air seculation.
• Taolo (1/5): The worst experience - Nothing! The definition of incompetence and neglect. On Thursday, I called the property to confirm my booking. It was confirmed, and I even received a WhatsApp message with the pin location. When I arrived, the gate was closed, not motorised, and there was no one to assist. I knocked for a while before figuring out how to get in myself. At reception, I was told they could not find my booking. After checking with the owner, I was informed that I could only stay for one night and would need to find alternative accommodation for the second night. The room was not properly cleaned, and the toilet did not flush. To make matters worse, when it started raining heavily, I had to get out of the car to manually open the gate. Overall, this was a very poor and frustrating experience. I would not recommend this property.

• Beverly (5/5): -
• Fidzani (10/5): -
• Malebogo (3/5): Could be better with a little up keep - It’s a nice sized property with outdoor sitting areas. It’s too old and not well maintained. Faucets are leacky,, sinks and showers are too small. Grounds not well maintained.
• Nkosi (4/5): Dissapointing - I was dissapointed to say the least. It's just a house, not a B&B as listed. Blankets were dirty. No windows in the room I was sleeping in.
• Diego (6/5): -
• Ntshadi (1/5): -
• Elizabeth (1/5): - Nearer to border gate Water shortage Freshly painted as a result we couldn't sleep we were suffocating
• Mpho (2/5): - ALMOST EVERYTHING THEY WERE BUSY RENOVATING EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE EXPECTING GUESTS ON THE 1ST DAY THERE WAS NO WATER WE COULDNT USE THE BATHROOM SIDE LAMPS NOT CONNECTED THERE WAS NO GLASSES OR CUPS IN OUR ROOM
• Chrissie (10/5): -
• Weston (5/5): -
• Guest (8/5): - Location is in very cool environment. I only encountered a problem in the morning when i wanted to take a shower and there was no hot water.
• Du (6/5): Pleasant - Friendly staff and warm water warm bed Broken appliances and lack of the details like bath tubb prop and toilet paper
• Verified traveler (2/5): Feedback - We cancelled our stay. Still awaiting feedback and the credit on our account.
• Pendu (7/5): Good -
• Nduna (1/5): Bad - I liked that the rooms where spacious. There was a working fridge and the tv was working. Unfortunately my room was not clean. There was no sheets on the bed. Pillows had no pillow case. The toilet paper was dirty, seems like it had fallen in the toilet previously and left to dry. The concierge was always unavailable. You had to always search for her to ask for assistance. The kettle, sugar and tea was infested with ants. Overall poor service. It was not worth the money paid.
• Richard (5/5): Passable - The staff was cooperative and friendly. There was no wardrobe, the shower had no space for me.
• Magda (3/5): Not accourding to booking.com standards. - Did not have breakfast. Location good. The lady Trisch's Aditude when we asked her for electricaladapror plugs. In the room There are the following electrical apliances WITHOUT ELECTRICAL PLUGINNS: FRIDGE 2 X BEDLAMPS 1 KETTLE NO UGADAPTORS TO USE ANY OF THESE APLIANCES OR TO CHARGE YOUR SELLPHONE. When We asked her for a plugadaptor, Trisch just pulled up her shoulders and said that she could not help us while she is sitting at a table using her selphone while charging it for herself. SO; IT SEEMS LIKE THEY HAVE THE BOOKING. COM'S RECOMENDED ELECTRICAL APPLAINCES WITHOUT THE NESSECARY ELECTRICAL PLUGINS TO USE ALL THE APPLIANCES IN THE ROOM. FOR SOMEONE THAT TRAVELS THAT IS OF NO USE. YOU ONLY HAVE A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD AND A BED TO SLEEP. VERY POOR BOOKING. COM QUALITY. No Towels or a showermat due to rain and they are without a dryer running a spa and a B&B not on.

• Mavis (8/5): Very good - Clean
• Mercy (2/5): Sub standard - I didn't like the fact that the Bed and Breakfast is expensive for over P500 for bed only. No free black coffee or cup or glass in a room, should one need a cup of coffee or warm water, there was nothing. No provision for a meals, when i arrive from work at night i had to travel back to find something to eat as they didnt have option to cook for guests like they say online. Guest house has no extra blanket for in case when the cold got bad as i travelled during winter. No Blankets only a light Duvet was provided and be given anything extra to warm up.
• Brandon (1/5): Nice staff and we appreciated their hospitality, but not a pleasant stay for international visitors. - Nice exterior landscaping. Helpful staff. Location to border. 24/hr reception. Booking not synced with booking.com (I.e what I booked and what was actually available were not same). No toilet seat. No shower. No plugs in room.
• Welhemina (7/5): Good -
• Aryton (8/5): Very good - Staff, location and the bed. The shower curtains were not off the right length, this caused the water to leak and make the bathroom very messy, very wet. Shower caps need to be maintained.

• Lelethu (5/5): Passable -
• Mhlangano (1/5): Bad - My Booking was made and Confirmed. On arrival at property I could not gain access despite hooting at gate. The gate.bell did not work. It was already after 9pm and little chance for alternative accommodation.

• Tidimalo (6/5): Pleasant - Friendly staff. Clean room. Great breakfast. Good garden's Indoor living spaces The bathroom: the toilet was leaking and was not fixed during the 5 day stay, making sleep difficult. The premises had no security around the perimeter and that should be installed. The gate is not remotely controlled, leading to wanting at the gate from staff to open for you, even in the rain. With the water supply cut, there is not a back up water tank, the one there had dirty water and I had to go to work and bathed yesterday. 4th. The rooms should have their own, kettle for tea. Make available a refrigerator for guests to use.
• Neo (3/5): Poor - The place was clean. The food was good. The plumbing issues with the toilets in the room we were initially given and the room we were then given as a replacement for that initial room. The flushing mechanisms for both rooms were very inadequate.
• Leslie (1/5): Horrible - The room was not GREAT! floor was painted and had cracks and missing paint! No aircin, wifi was poor, no coffee, shower was a joke! You could hardly move! No water, no kettle, coffee, bar fridge, no plugs for chargers....over all the photos on the Internet was completely diffrent to the actual place!! I would NOT recommend this place at all!!!! Avoid at all costs!
• Lieketseng (1/5): I had a bad experience - I didn't like anything about the guesthouse. The floor was very old had cracks, the shower is too small, no toilet paper holder in the bathroom, no table in the room, no lace curtains, only 2 pillows. Everything about the guesthouse was bad. Too many to mention the owner needs to invest in the business. He needs to fix broken windows in the dinning room also
