Guest Reviews

• aaron (8/5): - Such a cute unit. Great location. Linen needs to match and towels should be newer. Bath mat etc need to be changed regularly. There should be matching crockery and cutlery for 4 people.
• Natalie (5/5): Disappointing - Property is spacious, clean and secure. Property is quite dark, freezer was leaking we had to attend to that regularly, pipe under kitchen sink was leaking so a plumber turned up during our stay which was an inconvenience and the leak could have waited till end of our stay, but mostly the WIFI didn’t work and therefore none of the tv’s could be used. We contacted the owner on arrival to advise them of issue but then there was no further communication to try and fix it for us. This really ruined our stay for us as it was important for us to have.
• Ngoma (10/5): Tantalizing 👌 - Aesthetic and secure neighborhood Nothing

• Mamello (8/5): Overall we enjoyed staying at Sammy's Nest. - The location was perfect and the apartment was spacious. It gave a very warm homely feel. There was some noise coming from upstairs and this went on into the night and early morning. There was also mould on the ceiling, something the owner should look into as well as plumbing in the bathrooms.
• Bakang (7/5): it was good - The mood on the ceiling of the other room. No zircon in the other bedroom
• Thobile (9/5): -
• Zandi (8/5): - Ensuite bedroom Limited parking, we had 2 cars. They only have one parking
• Mluleki (10/5): - Beautiful energy feels like home
• Magda (4/5): Place needs attention, but has potential - Location was ideal, lots of space Main bedroom roof ceiling is covered in mould. We slept on couch, could not use the upper level. It smelt very bad and its a big health risk. Shower and basin drains was blocked. Could not use TV or phones, wifi was more off than on. The apartment above has a dog, its was running and dropping things the whole night. It was really difficult to get a proper nights sleep

• YASSEN (8/5): Perfect place, bad neighbours! - Place is excellent! BUT! 1. Neighbours from upstairs are noisy. Thet drop things on the floor all the time and moving chairs, 2. Bunch of noisy kids are playing in front ot the flat. 3. Gate of teh complex is very noisy. 4. Pedestrian gate is never locked.
• Grant larter (9/5): Leave home, come home, go home... - An ideal home away from home. Careful details must be paid to little things. Missing light bulbs at bedside table, tv remotes not working etc.
• Deji (10/5): -
• Michael H. (10/5): - Perfect accommodation home away from home, had everything you need for a comfortable stay. Nothing
• Penelope (10/5): The property is exceptional! - Cleanliness was on point The ceiling mould in the main bedroom
• Sbusiso (10/5): very good - clean.
• Liladhar (9/5): Superb -
• Tilly (8/5): Other than the bathroom we were very comfortable. - Brilliant location. The main ensuite bathroom - the water gushes out and wets the entire bathroom floor. Very uncomfortable and not very hygienic.
• Ludo (7/5): Good - Everything Shower in the other room clogging water and spilling
• Suares (9/5): Superb -
• Nomkhosi (10/5): The photos do not do any justice, everything about the place was beautiful. Very clean and safe. - Everything was perfect, it was so clean. The photos don’t do justice. Nothing
• Liezl (8/5): Very good - I appreciated that both rooms had en-suite bathrooms, along with an additional toilet downstairs. The house had multiple areas to relax, making it feel spacious and inviting. The communal pool was accessible at any time, and we often had it to ourselves. Security was hassle-free, allowing us to come and go without restrictions. It truly felt like a home away from home—no interruptions, complaints, or disturbances. Plus, the shopping center right across the accommodation was a great convenience. I would definitely stay here again if visiting Sandton. The wifi connection isn’t great.
• Pamela (7/5): Good -
• Babajide (8/5): Great spot love safety - The location was amazing Needs better cleaning regiment
• Nobukhosi (8/5): Very good - Location, security, the staff and overall unit Nothing
• Xolisile (10/5): Fabulous - Very child friendly and the owner is very considerate. He/she left cleaning items for us,did not have to buy and it's such a therapeutic place.i love it Nothing actually.
• Neziswa (10/5): Exceptional - The place was more than i was expecting, it's clean, convenient, closer to the centre. The rooms are big, I like the fact that each room has an ensuite. There was no information about the nearest restaurants or nearby activities. The shower in one of the rooms takes time to drain water
• Reabetswe (4/5): They need to pay attention to the finer details. A proper cleaning is definitely needed. - The place is spacious but it was not cleaned properly if at all which was unsettling because we couldn’t get comfortable.
• Shawn (9/5): Superb -
• Hondo (7/5): Our stay was good and the staff were very cheerful. - There was no breakfast. Location is good, with shops that are closeby 1. Kind of humid air. 2. Poor drainage in the shower cubicle 3. Toilet seats aren't very secure
• Whitney (8/5): Lovely place . Great location. Overall very happy . - Beautiful clean and well put out . Loved that each room had its own en suite. The pool was green . It’s a communal pool so I do know that it’s not the owners fault . Adding an aircon to the other room would be awesome
• Jennifer (8/5): Pleasant, convenient place to stay. - Plenty of room, cosy atmosphere, safe with friendly security guards, nice recreation area, shopping centre over the road. Only one key for our group, which made it tricky going out, but otherwise Very pleasant stay.
• Phuti (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly staff, clean and comfortable 👌 I loved everything ❤️
• Jennifer (8/5): Very good -
• . (6/5): Central location, aesthetic is pleasant however the bathrooms and aircon need attention! - The property is in a secure complex. The mould on the bathroom ceilings was absolutely disgusting! The entire roof is black with mould. The extractor fan was clearly not working well and the shower needs draining as the floor flooded 3 minutes into my shower. The aircon is also not working.

U just pass the Road , u choose which restaurant suit you the best ❤️I really liked that When I first arrived didn’t have my keys to open , so had to stand outside waiting for a pin to open my door which I tried many attempts but never win coz was tricky and I was exhausted after a long flight , coz currently de security Guy misplaced the keys that was really inconvenient 💔.

• Sugandran (8/5): Very good -

• Thandeka (10/5): Excellent - The place was exeptional, what you see is what you get, i would recommend to anyonr Nothing
• Nathi (10/5): Loved everything from property, complex and location - Very quiet Exactly what I expected.loved it
• Alexander (7/5): Good - The property had all the amenities one would need for a home away from home. Close to shops. Internet / WiFi connection is extremely bad. I spent a morning with the owner and network provider trying to fix it. It took me placing the router on top of the TV as if I moved away from the lounge to the dining table the connection was lost. The apartment is also in an area that has extremely bad network coverage. Even with challenging WiFi, I couldn’t even hotspot from my own phone. As it’s a garden apartment, it’s surrounded by big trees at the back and therefore doesn’t receive sunlight, which is quite bad as it’s a beautiful apartment.
• Sarfudin (9/5): Superb -
• Zanele (10/5): It was excellent, I love it. - I loved every aspect of the place, and my family found it to be incredibly homely and peaceful, I would really love to go back soon, I give you 10/10 Love it. shower drainage issues.
• Monde (8/5): Very good - Location is great. Responsive host. Spacious apartment. Linen is old. Sheets need a change. Toilet paper was insufficient. Cobwebs when you walk through. Cleaning needs improvement. The spiders crawled from the light fittings and the door / ceilings. Gate remote needed.
• Sheba (4/5): Disappointing - The nephew Who came to my rescue was very helpful. The Location is great and the house spacious and well decorated. The first 30 minutes we got in the sewer system exploded on me. I was standing in fieces and had to clean sweep out the fieces till 2am in the morning and after been given a free extra night I was asked to check out because it was booked to someone else. I felt cheated and mistreated because I should have been refunded without demanding for it as common courtesy. In fact I should have demanded refund the same day and moved out. The whole time u stayed there I was thinking of the fieces. I had a bad stay. The wifi was on and off. I really feel cheated for the money I paid.
• Melkiory (9/5): Superb - I liked the location and big size apartment. The apartment is in a quiet and family friendly compound.
• Kelebogile (10/5): Best home away from home - The comfort The place is safe and you feel as if you home and it's very quite ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

• Leslie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Emmelea (9/5): An excellent choice if you want a comfortable home away from home self-catering experience - It had everything we needed for a home away from home experience! (e.g. WIFI, backup lights for the power outage experienced, appliances, linen, towels, toiletries if you forgot any, study, lighting, Netflix) The decor was tasteful and warm The bed and linen was heavenly... 2 full bathrooms and the 3 toilets! Stillness and Privacy Sounds of nature outside The main bathroom's plumbing upstairs seems a bit backed up. The shower and the basin struggled to drain the water efficiently The towel rail and the shower shelf was hanging and felt like it was about to fall off I don't think the aircon in the main bedroom works well or for long The TV in the main bedroom wasn't working or connected properly
• Angela (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sibahle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mompati (8/5): Very good - Everything about the place was exceptional except from the TV i am an old school guy not used to netflix atlist dstv but not supported
• Philisia (10/5): Exceptional - The host was absolutely amazing, always checking on me in terms of my arrival. The location was so perfect. The house is absolutely stunning. The comfort of the home and elegance of the set up was just perfect. The security guard was very confusing when we tried to enter. Perhaps notify them of any arrivals beforehand. So that they don't send us away.
• Njabulo (9/5): Superb -
