Guest Reviews
- Jones (7/5): -
- wewers (9/5): - The host was very helpful and kind. The house is spacious. My family loved the house.
- Adele (8/5): - Would be helpful if asked the day before to have them start the hot tub, as we never were able to use it because couldn’t get it warm enough in the period of our stay.
- Du Plessis (3/5): Bad experience - The rooms were ok.the kitchen was equipped. The wifi was off for our total stay.there was not enough wood for the hotbath.through our stay there was no one who came and check on us.. although we contacted the person about our complaints,she never came.i will honestly not recommend this place to anyone
- van wyk (10/5): Definitely a 10/10 - It was so comfortable and very nice to stay here. The staff was extremely friendly, professional and accommodating. We enjoyed every moment, and it was especially nice to see the small things thay often go unnoticed. Nothing. Everything was exceptional
- Gcobisa (1/5): Overall experience of the house was BAD!!!!!! poor poor , bedding is worse ! blankets bad - nothing Everything house is in a bad state, bedding bad , furniture old, broken doors for the toilet . Not what is on the pictures
- Andri (9/5): - Very nice, clean and big unit with ample space.
- Mitchell (10/5): -
- Louis (1/5): - Two weeks before the stay i tried to cancel due to death in the family and they refused with a very short and absurd response
- Klaus (9/5): clean good comfortable - perfect all good
- Bowers (10/5): -
- Jacobs (7/5): -
- Trefeuza (8/5): - Spacious, very quiete clean There was a problem with the booking
- Bianca (8/5): Wonderful little getaway - Well located and had everything we needed to be comfortable N/a
- Rudy van Breda (6/5): - Breakfast on the stoep in the morning Only had 1 plug for all the kitchen appliances.
- Moore (8/5): -
- MOHLE (1/5): - The room was nice It was not the room I booked. When I was on
booking.com the only room shown was the 1 with the jacuzzi. I booked it. It was my husband's 60th birthday and I wanted to surprise him. We connected to the wifi but it connected with no internet. The TV said that the account been paid so all we got was snow. I contacted Tanya but she just told me to contact booking.com if I wasn't happy and "Enjoy your evening" .I was furious, and it wasn't the birthday surprise I wanted for my husband. We left and went to stay at Hermanus Lodge on the Green. What treat and were we treated with respect. I would like a total refund
- Yannis Diego (1/5): Terrible, freezing cold with visible slits in the window frames, no wifi despite the host knew it, unhelpful communicati - Little, okay location as hermanus is beautiful, spacious appartment, that's about it. I'm not a fan of negative Reviews, but this was the only Accommodation we were unhappy with.
- We had no wifi, which i could forgive but upon informing the host they said the operater has been already informed. Thus they knew and did not inform us. I was dependant on the wifi that night as I had sheduled a workmeeting.
- No heating equippment, despite weather forcast noted 10°C at Night, in a room where the windows are constructed so poorly, it creates a see through crack between the frames (photo attatched), it was freeezing!
- Sink was copletely clogged from the beginning, no idea how that was missed during cleaning
- All communication is managed through a booking manager with no authorisation delaying all communication, with no basic support capability like providing the heating elements that are available (but only from may... which is in one week)
- Last but not least: the appartment was sloppy, no hand-towel, no shower gel, no milk for coffee, only one plug for 4 kitchendevices, the door that slams you awake every time a neighbour comes or goes (no door padding), nothing worth complaining if it wasn't for the above... avoid this mess my friends
- Andre (8/5): - The location was close to where we worked and close enough to restaurants. We stayed for only two days and worked during the day so there was not enough time to explore more of Hermanus. Our TV didn't work and the Wi-Fi was not very good, could not send or receive Wapp's.
- Zahmar (7/5): Beautiful house, safe, great location. I would go back but hopin the house would be properly cleaned - Very beautiful house, great location. Cleanliness could definitely be improved the space didn’t feel as clean as expected, and most towels didn’t smell fresh. A clean environment is important for comfort and relaxation, and unfortunately that wasn’t our experience. The TV also wasn’t working not sure if it wasn’t paid for (dstv) which was disappointing.
I would also suggest providing a few more essentials, such as hand wash in the bathrooms and kitchen towels or disposable wipes for convenience.
That said, I would still recommend the place overall and wouldn’t mind returning, provided these issues are addressed.
- Darryl (10/5): -
- Lynn (5/5): -
- Rob (8/5): - The accomodation was spacious, beds very comfortable. Freezer completely frozen.Needed to be defrosted. The tv was problematic. Drainage problem in main on suite basin.
- Aleksei (9/5): -
- Shode (10/5): What an amazing place, loved every moment and definitely going back. - Place was amazing, close to all amnesties and small details that were thought off well. NA
- Willie (9/5): - Nice and clean place, situate near beach and restaurants. N/A
- EWA (10/5): - Bardzo czyste i ładne mieszkanie
- Oelie (10/5): - Spacious room and bathroom with everything we need. Very safe and quiet.
- Dempers (9/5): - The hot tub was awesome Would recommend an aircon in the bedroom
- Brian (10/5): Brian enjoyed the overall feel of the place with all the comforts. - Brian enjoyed the hot tub and that the space was nice and open, large. Not something he could think of.
- AJ (8/5): Disappointed and misled. Not a good experience. This Unit is ideal for 1 person. - N/A - Unit was self catering I am disappointed and felt misled. I planned a special break away with my wife and we decided on short notice, to stay over in Hermanus for 1 night. I was looking for a 1 bedroom self catering unit on Booking.Com. Hermanus Reefs came up as an option. There were 140 photos of the facilities displayed. I scrolled through the photos. The unit looked smart and the price was within our budget. The website indicated that the 1 bedroom unit was equipped with an air conditioner, a barbecue facility and a large double bed. These were prerequisites, My definition of a 1 Bedroom unit is that the bedroom is separate from the other facilities. I made the reservation and had to pay the requested fee in full, After I have paid, I received an email from Hermanus Reefs, informing me that they have 4 different apartments and that it is my responsibility to ensure that I have booked the correct one. I immediately phoned the host on Tel 0616429138 as this 1 bedroom unit was the only one available. I was informed that they had the Abalone unit available, which is an open plan studio/bachelor type layout. This is not what I had in mind and what I booked and paid. I pointed out that the photos on display was that of a 1 bedroom unit, with a separate lounge, which is different from the bachelor type apartment. The host informed me that this was the only unit available and that the photos of all the units are displayed altogether and not per unit. They did not have any other unit available. I could not cancel this reservation as the payment was made to booking.com. This left a bitter taste in my mouth as I was not satisfied with the unit, yet I was now forced to stay there. There was no air conditioner in the apartment as advertised. We could not make use of the freezing compartment of the fridge as it was completely frozen up. We could not braai and had to go out for supper. It was noted that the Fire Extinguisher was last serviced in 2023.
- Melayca (10/5): This is our second stay and I can definitely say it's worth it!Hosts were incredibly hospitable and supportive. - Excellent accommodation!Very neat , private and very well equipped. Hosts were incredibly welcoming and supportive. Highly, highly recommend."
- Mon (4/5): Bof - . Aucune vue
Pas possible de cuisiner (pas de ventilation
Escalier très gênant
La douche de vestiaire n est pas top
- Maria (9/5): -
- Karin (7/5): -
- Johan (10/5): Absolute good value for money - The cleanliness, all the equipment to address our food preparation, TV, safety, close to town centre, and support Air conditioner in rooms can be helpful
- Laqeesha (8/5): -
- Laqeesha (10/5): -
- Marzanne (8/5): - Tanja was very friendly. The space was so big.
- Gary (8/5): - Good facilities and comfortable bed. Let down by the outside area which is just a paved yard. Air con wasn't working and took 2 days to sort out after chasing up.
- LP Mikael (9/5): - Large rooms . Big kitchen I booked and paid on the 6 of January and asked for secure parking and aircon. Arrived on 20 of January secure parking was there but no functional aircon. They had 14 days to fix the aircon. But only when asked they tried to fix it. This house/flat was new and the aircon was old to go on the cheap side.last but strange when having a shower the water did not go down the drain it was flowing out of the shower and making the floor wet. We where told that compensation going to be made for not having an aircon. Up to date 28 of January nothing
- Hamish (6/5): -
- Margaret (6/5): Disappointing - The apartment is spacious, immaculately clean and beautifully furnished. Kitchen appliances are high quality, there is a lovely big shower. Plenty of hot water, comfy beds and good wifi. Poor communication over check in. We tried to phone the host three times on arrival day but got no reply. We sent a message through booking.com on arrival but received no response till the following day. We were only able to access the apartment because of the helpfulness of guests staying in one of the other apartments. The terrace is not a particularly inviting space, no instructions for the hot tub so we did not use it. Minimal provision of glasses, china, cooking utensils and coathangers. It’s a shame, the apartment has a lot going for it and with a bit more attention to detail would score much higher.
- Melissa (7/5): Clean and modern place but extremely limited amenities- expect only the basics - Very modern and clean Not worth the price - bare minimum for a lot of money
- Mduduzi (10/5): -
- Jacobus (7/5): - Communication
- Philip (5/5): - Location is decent -- relatively close to Town Centre. It is also a relatively busy road, and borders what can ostensibly be described as a "dodgy area", as observed from entering Hermanus. The area is quiet, and we had good privacy. The accommodation provided is reasonable. - During our stay, we noticed that several utensils were dirty/grimy. The Bathroom basin also had grime along edge of the drain. This didn't overly bother us, however the devil is usually in the details.
- The booking website states that streaming services like Netflix are offered, however there was only DSTV. It might seem like a subtle difference, however DSTV is not a streaming service like Netflix. A little misleading, in my opinion.
- Since we don't know Hermanus or the area, and also considering the experience of entering Hermanus as we did, we weren't very comfortable with the area with regards to safety. One of the main reasons why we opted for this option is for the safe parking behind gates that is offered. The booking website states that safe parking is provided, however on our 2nd night of stay we were forced to park outside the property (TECHNICALLY On-site, however it is misleading to say this is "safe parking"). My partner and I went out for dinner on the 2nd night, and got back to the place 22H00. When we arrived, we noticed that all the parking bays inside the yard have been occupied - "ours" ostensibly by one of the other lodgers' guests. I tried to reach out to the host to get clarity on the matter, however I was only responded to the next morning at 08H00 -- how it was received isn't really relevant at this point, any manner of emergency could have occurred at it would not have been responded to timeously.
- Lloyd (10/5): -
- Myles (9/5): -
- Heinrich (7/5): Für eine Nacht ok - Kontakt zur Schlüsselübergabe sehr freundlich und unkompliziert
- Kerryhorvath2 (3/5): The accommodation was disappointing and we would not stay here again - The location was a bit further from town than we expected but was in easy driving distance from the main hub of Hermanus. Hermanus itself is beautiful. On our arrival the room we booked was not available and we were down graded without much explanation or apology. We moved to the better room the next day but despite being assured that we would be helped with our luggage no help was offered at the time of moving. A refund for the 1st night was not offered and was only processed after I requested it. Both rooms smelt musty and were inundated with mosquitos. There is no air conditioning and this is really needed in December.
- Mickyle (8/5): -
- Christiaan (8/5): We enjoyed our stay at hermanus reefs and can recommend - Spacious, clean, nice hot tub and braai facilities Lack of attention to detail, eg no pepper, proper wine glasses or dish washing tablets.
- Maria (9/5): -
- Leano (5/5): -
- Etson (6/5): - Room was clean and comfortable. Advert on booking.com is misleading. Please stipulate room number and what the room offers. We thought that we had access to braai facility and jacuzzi. It was not the case. We had to eat out because we don't believe in cooking in your room. It would just be better to know in advance what you get to plan accordingly. Over all a nice stay.
- Catheryn (9/5): A great place all round. - The location was highly convenient for the Hermanus Mediclinic, in that it is only a couple of blocks away. The shaded carport for the car was also very welcome. The entire flat was so well appointed and extremely comfortable. Nothing really. The few small things that didn't work did not detract from the overall impression.
- Venter (10/5): -
- Bonita (9/5): - The spaciousness of the apartment.
Hustle free stay and easy access.
Really enjoyed our stay The water leaking from the shower. Drainage not sufficient.
Putting on a glass shield might be a better option.
Some hocks and racks in the bathroom to put your face clothes and soaps,etc
- GLYN (8/5): -
- Jade (10/5): - The property was perfectly located close to all amenities! The bed was also super comfy 😊
- Eline (7/5): - Grand appartement, parking privé Appartement sombre, aucun accueil physique ni explications sur le fonctionnement du hot tub et autres. Manque p.e une pochette avec un petit plan des environs, notices etc.
Bcp d'espace extérieur mais sans attrait ,on a l'impression de se retrouver sur un parking. Vue sur un mur, le bâtiment est situé entre d'autres bâtiments et des mur hauts de ce fait très sombre. Peu chaleureux. Salle de bain très grande et fonctionnelle mais accès via une porte de placard ( très originale). L'appartement n'est pas exploité à son potentiel et pourrait être tellement mieux avec quelques améliorations.
Manque aussi des petits choses comme un séchoir à linge( autre que le séchoir commun utilisé par les femmes de ménage) sèche cheveux et un peu plus de vaisselle.
On entends bcp les voisins du dessus
- Benedikt (8/5): -
- Daniel (9/5): -
- Richard (5/5): OK for a night or 2 - Large Room No dishwasher. Table inconviniently small for taking meals. Smoke from neighbors wooden heating annoying from 7 to 9pm, i.e. all evening, opening windows to dissipate the day’s heat from the room then impossible
- Sophie (8/5): Goed verblijf met goede locatie - Heel erg ruim appartement! Schoon en goed beveiligd verblijf Het matras was vrij hard.
- MAQOLO (10/5): -
- Radipelo (2/5): What a disappointment of a place!!! - The bed was spacious & there's always hot water We didn't have TV for the duration of our 3 day stay, Tanja promised to send someone to fix it the same day we checked in & we reported it but no one showed up. Clearly the TV isn't working at all & she was aware of it.
WiFi is extremely slow, it takes about 5 min to watch a 30 second video. On top of that you have to call & request the WiFi password opposed to just find it in the room waiting like all guesthouses.
No cleaning stuff like a broom or a mop in case of spillages or needing to sweep yet you're expected to keep the place clean as there's no cleaning lady on the premises.
I mistakenly spilled water on the floor & had to use a tissue to clean, the dirt that was on the tissue looked blackish which means floors are not cleaned before you check in.
- Zeelie (4/5): Could be cleaner - Hot tub. Big room and bathroom. It was not properly cleaned. There was old pee on the toilet seat. And this place charges a cleaning fee over and above the rate so I expected more on the cleanliness front.
- Rebecca (10/5): Worth the visit! - It was so beautiful 😍 lovely and clean , so private and loved the place!
- Thando (7/5): -
- Paul (8/5): - Ruime propere kamer. Ligging
- Shana (8/5): -
- Dean (10/5): -
- Jürgen (10/5): -
- Cheryl (4/5): will not be back - Location .
secure parking.
security. No streaming as advertised ( such as netflix ). Dirty freezer. One frypan nothing else for self catering. No comfortable chairs to relax in. The toilet kept running. DSTV select channels only
No hair dryer as advertised. Dishcloths were filthy. Salt cellar rusty. Bathroom mirror stuck to window, so unable to close blinds. Kitchen drawers needed a good clean. Mould inside the shower grouting. Rude agent when confronted. All our requests were ignored.
- Tania (9/5): -
- Rinke (8/5): -
- Sandra (8/5): - Clothing hooks or something to hang your clothes while showering.
- Gabriella (9/5): -
- tio (8/5): - Spacious accommodation and excellent communication with management. Was cold and a heater was not available.
- Simeon (10/5): -
- Pelser (9/5): - N/A N/A
- Shinji (9/5): 広々別荘コテージ♪ - とても広くて、キッチン、洗濯機などの設備があり、家族で1週間過ごすにも向いてると思います。 他国の洗濯機の使い方がわかりにくいので、ドライ以外は使えませんでした。
- Lydia (8/5): -
- anas (10/5): - المكان بالكامل والأثاث والخدمات والطاقم صغر السرير
- Justin (7/5): very pleasant - close proximity to the beach tv not connected
- bester (5/5): Not what expected. - The DSTV didn’t work. The pillow had blood on it. The roof is dirty
- Buhrow (8/5): - We had a good stay and truly enjoyed Hermanus. The accommodation was comfortable.
- Fredericks (9/5): - The accommodation in Hermanus was a highlight of the trip.The hosts and staff were warm and welcoming, and everything was spotless. It felt like a home away from home, but with that extra touch of luxury. It definitely added to the whole experience. And it's located close to all the great spots.
- Larna (10/5): - Great location, close to the mall and Hermanus waterfront. The rooms are very spacious. Lovely big kitchen with all the appliances you need to have a great stay.
- VLADIMIR (9/5): - Просторный и уютный номер.
Опция с горячим чаном замечательная Было бы здорово, если бы был запас дров для разогрева чана
- AshleyIS (9/5): Lovely Stay - Great location. Tanja was a very responsive host.
Room was clean and comfortable. All good
- Nolukhayo (10/5): -
- McNally (8/5): - It was very close to the hospital where we needed to be.
The room was spacious and furnished with good quality items. A couch or comfortable seating would have been nice.
I didn't like the cleaning fee added on only after booking confirmation
- BRUCE (10/5): A very comfortable and enjoyable stay - Convenient location. Everything you need. Quiet and reasonable price
- Nonjongo (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly staff and beautiful view The pots were not available I wanted cook it was only a pan 😔
- Christo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Van (9/5): Superb - Very neat and clean with all the necessary facilities. Nothing
- Natalie (9/5): Walking distance to iconic cliff path - Large spacious with all the mod cons. Excellent value for money. Close to cliff path, hospital and town. We loved our stay there. Everything was good. And added sofa would be a bonus
