Guest Reviews
- Cassidy (8/5): My stay was pleasant and comfortable. The environment was safe, and the staff were friendly. - If you need a place to sleep over, this is the right place for you, especially if you have appointments or events to attend. I was looking for a place close to the University of Johannesburg, and I found this place—it was perfect. You can take an Uber for about R20.00, and you will arrive at your destination in no time. One possible improvement would be the positioning of the fridge. It was placed very close to the bed, which made it difficult for me to open it properly.
- Chris (10/5): Lovely room with everything we need and very friendly staff. - Location and amenities.
- Dhlamini (7/5): - Can fix aircon and we bath it cold water Everything is on point but only two things geyser and the aircon
- Ruth (6/5): Not in the best area, but comfortable and clean - Our stay was a very comfortable. The guest house was clean, the beds were comfortable, linen was great, and the rooms were spacious. We had our own separate lounge with a view over the pool, which made it spacious, and convenient to eat meals there with our children. There were fans and aircon (a little noisy, but they worked). The rooms were very quiet and we were hardly aware of the other guests in the guest house. We could come and go as we liked, once we had been given a gate remote. The pool and garden were pretty. We did not eat any meals there, so can not rate the restaurant, but it is handy to have on site Our main concern was that the area wasn't great. I like to be able to walk or run, and didn't feel very safe going out alone. The 'bad' area of JHB was very close to us, and our road didn't feel safe to me. However, the security at the BnB was good and I never felt nervous at all once inside the property. A second issue was the kitchen facilities. Although there was a fridge, a sink. a kettle and cupboards, there was no means of cooking (no stove top or microwave), and almost no cutlery etc. For a 2-sleeper room, there was: 2 small teacups; 1 butter knife, 1 fork, 1 spoon, 1 plate and a soup bowl. 2 glasses. Absolutely no other bowls, pots or anything. So, be prepared that this place is not really set up for self-catering, even though the separate lounge/'kitchen' area is spacious and comfortable.
- Zono - Gxoyiya (8/5): Good -

- Phakedi (10/5): -
- Siyabonga (7/5): - Staff, location and price. The cable TV didn't work, there was no kitchenware as promised.
- Gustav (4/5): It served its purpose, but I would not recommend staying there if you are looking for comfort. - The host was friendly and the water was hot at least. The TV's functionality was very limited and the sound didn't work, the facilities were poor, the mattress is old, no fridge to keep drinks or food cold, we were promised breakfast but that never happened
- Lilian (10/5): - Its close to the university of Johannesburg APK campus. We were able to enjoy the BBQ facilities, there was a communal kitchen to prepare our food. Had a warm bath and shower. The staff was friendly and helpful. Easy access in and out the building. None
- Public (1/5): The only good thing about the place is that is located at the quite place is not a busy place - The place is quite The service was very poor, the receptionist guy was unhelpful,I was given the room that I did paid for because the owner gave away the room I paid for online

- Reamogetswe Rethabile (7/5): Overall it was okay, we didn’t like the area the accommodation was in. - It was clean , the building was secure. The location, the was no microwave oven. We didn’t have towels in our room.
- Maonei (8/5): - Mimi is a great host who takes her time to listen to your needs. We enjoyed our stay and the rooms are a home away from home. The staff was very friendly and respectful They should probably give gate remotes to those driving so as not to inconvinience the staff on duty.
- Judith (4/5): Disappointing -
- Zono (7/5): It was good, but there is always a room for improvement ❤ - The property is very close to the Univeristy of Johannersburg, highly recommended if you are to attend graduation. It is a home away from home , neat and clean and has friendly staff. For self catering kindly provide cutlery (complete set) and crockery (white)
- Nontyatyambo (9/5): It’s a very good place to stay - It’s a safe and secure place. Staff were very kind and friendly. Nothing I was very happy with my stay there
- Thabo (8/5): Very good -
- Lungi (10/5): Great stay - The room was spacious and suited our needs very well. The guesthouse is lovely and the staff is friendly and very helpful. Our stay though brief was perfect and we were well accommodated. The shower drain had a bit of a blockage which caused the bathroom floor to take on some water.
- Ndzalo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Labana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tongela (10/5): management at the kedesan - wow the manager (Mimi) was very accommodating and would advise assist and even go above board I must say it was a great stay.

We felt at home and really enjoyed our stay. Definitely our go to place the next time we visit South Africa. Highly Recommend!
- Fred (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bright (9/5): Superb -
- Joy (5/5): Passable one night sleepover - Friendly staff, clean room Noise, people walking up and down the passage after 11pm and early morning hours. My room was close to the reception area and microwave room. I guess people were walking there to warm their meals at night. Shower 🚿 was not working 😕
- Lerato (9/5): Home away from home - I liked everything, the room was great, the place itself feels homely and inviting That the bar had ran out of drinks and that I couldn't open the door to our balcony

- Xolisile (10/5): Exceptional - Everything
- Ndovela (3/5): Poor - We got locked outside at night because they didn't give keys for the front door and struggled to access our room after the event. After calling countless times the landlord to no avail,had to use the alarm to wake him up after sitting outside for over an hour at night, we felt really unsafe.
- Khutjo (6/5): Pleasant -
- Dahnae (3/5): Very disappointing, would not recommend - Nice bed linen TV didn’t work. WiFi didn’t work in the room only outside. The doors were locked so couldn’t get out in the morning to attend appointment. No correct keys were given so had to shout the place down as manager refused to answer phone. Missed my appointment due to this issue. Fed up we left a day early as was not going to be subjected to that any longer. Stayed elsewhere for the second night.

- Muzi (8/5): Very good - The location. Guests are only given a room key and are NOT given a key to leave or access the property.
