Guest Reviews
- Reneilwe (1/5): - Lilly the Stuff was nice Location is not in Randburg...dangerous place to be at .... not worth the money we paid ... terrible gun located place .. Terrible..... its 6 people sharing .... false advisement... we had to pay extra for a private room ..
- Azwitamisi (10/5): - I think parking was a big challenge
- Mbiza (1/5): - Nothing The neighborhood is unsafe and dark, the accommodation is unfavorable
- Seokwang (5/5): -
- kopano (1/5): Avoid this place - Nothing The owner or manager, not helpful at all
- Deano Kopps (10/5): -
- Tsholo Mzansi (10/5): -
- Nomfundo (10/5): -
- Moganedi (3/5): - I liked that the staff was welcoming. I did not like the fact that the lounge was a sharing there is no privacy.
- Deirdre (1/5): Very bad, - The accommodation location is not a good location. The area look like a very disadvantaged and unsafe area. When we arrived, we waited for the host to open the gate. While waiting there were young adults fighting and chasing each other with knifes, bricks and a wip. While they ran down the street neighbors ran to hit the one with carrying a brick. That already made us very uncomfortable.
When they opened the gate, the parking was very limited and behind one another, so coming in and out would be a problem. When she showed us the room, everything looked like on the image, but we were very surprised that others people was also staying in the other rooms. Meaning that we all would have our own rooms but share the living room and kitchen and so on. That was not mentioned in the listing. We had a function, so it would have meant we could not leave our stuff in the unit. The host then offered us another very small room with a toilet, but said it would cost an additional R200. The whole experience was very disturbing and unsafe. We are demanding our money back, cause all the information was not disclosed in the listing. For themselves, they should disclose everything to people looking for accommodation.

- Nokwethemba (10/5): It’s a good stay - The Lady that works there Lindi is really friendly she was so kind to us ♥️
- Bongani (3/5): Mediocre. Very poor - The location is not satisfactory and unsafe. When booking the room on the site it stated that there Is breakfast when we asked in the morning the lady stated we need to pay for it. Secondly, we had an incident where the person I was with wanted to go to the kitchen at 10pm and the alarm went off when they rushed back to the room out of fear the mirror that was placed against the wall fell and the caretaker or manager stated we need to replace it and buy a new one. The overall stay was just mediocre!!!

- Mpenyana (10/5): -
- Happines (1/5): - Nothing Everything was just bad. The location is a nightmare. The place smells. The facilities are the worst. I only went there for 5 minutes and left. Wasted my money and energy
- tauatswala (10/5): More than a guest house it felt like home, filled with kindness, care, and love. - I honestly don’t have enough words to express my gratitude. The host was absolutely amazing and treated me like her own daughter. From the moment I arrived I felt loved, safe, and truly cared for.
I shared my story with her, and she showed me nothing but kindness and compassion. She even went as far as giving me free food, something I will never forget.
My stay was more than just accommodation it felt like home. I will forever be grateful for her warmth, generosity, and motherly care. I highly recommend this guest house to anyone looking for not just a place to stay, but a place filled with love. Nothing
- Chuma (7/5): - Great for the price; the room is reasonable. The staff was very friendly, making it feel like home. The rooms were clean, making it ideal for solo travelers. It would be lovely if they had an option of using a remote gate or own set of key to enter because I had to call one of the staff members to open the gate in the morning. I would book again. I was surprised to find that there wasn't a wardrobe to store my luggage or hang my clothes. They need to fix the shower floor because water spills out, even when I didn't open the tap very wide. The location isn't bad, but the surrounding area feels questionable. The Uber driver expressed concerns about that specific area and made sure I was safely inside the property before leaving.
- Govo (1/5): -
- tauatswala (10/5): -
- Minnaar (5/5): It was good value for money, as a place to stay over, but not very comfortable. - It was safe, even though it was located in a lower socio-economic area.
Staff was friendly and helpful.
Overall cleanliness was acceptable. Food (meat) was left outside, after a 'braai' the night before.
This attracted flies, which became unbearable during stay.
Door handles not fitted properly - came off during stay.

- Retshegofetse (8/5): The place was clean and nice. The host was so friendly from when we arrived till check out. Please just work on the gate - The host was so friendly. The host lives in the same house as where the guests sleep. The gate doesn’t open with a remote, which is quite risky.

- Kekana (8/5): lovely place & money worth spent. - the peace & quiet around the area.
the customer service from the lady working there was amazing.
the cleanness of the room we used.
- Mashalane (6/5): Pleasant - Friendly service. Quiet location. I was checked into a different place, not what I booked initially. I was promised it's bigger and better.
I was disappointed with the room I was booked into. There is no microwave, fridge or electric jug/kettle in the room like it says on the ad description. Apparently it's the same with the other one I initially booked. There is no cup/glass in the bathroom to use when brushing your teeth.
You have to ask Rejoice to make coffee from the main kitchen... Ricoffy with no milk. She was friendly and didn't mind, but I expected there would be a welcome pack in the room. The small mirror in the closet/cupboard didn't do justice. The chair looks dirty, you wouldn't want to sit on.
There was someone always on the phone in the early hours of the morning and at night... the noise was disturbing.
