- Ledwaba (1/5): Bad -

- Danny (8/5): Great and quiet place - 1. The location was closer to the Campus since I was taking my daughter to start her tertiary life there
2. Their breakfast was nice There are a few things that can be improved on:
1. Cushions on bed were not clean
2. Toilet leaked the whole time we were there.
3. Bathroom window didn't close properly
4. Shower height not too practical to shower comfortably even for myself who is not tall
- Mbali (10/5): Home sweet home - Second time here, clean rooms amazing breakfast, amazing staff Besides the bad weather since I couldn't swim, nothing
- Saruchera (7/5): It was OK. No complaints - Breakfast was ok. I failed to use the coffee maker, which the staff couldn't use too. But the other option was Still ok.
- Sanelisiwe (7/5): Good -
- Basson (7/5): Good -
- Christine (1/5): Not a good experience - This was not a good experience The guest house isn't being maintained, with broken and malfunctioning fittings. My aircon wasn't working, and everything was plugged into one extension cable via multiple adapter plugs. It is on a busy road, and people park or leave at all hours, so noise is an issue. There remains very little of the small garden, as the rear is dominated by a pool in concrete, and the front half a parking area facing the road. The side is parking. Communication is poor as on arrival I was locked outside for 20 minutes with no-one answering the gate buzzer or telephone.
Broken fittings are not fixed with attention or care; I had a shower curtain balanced on tiles to replace a missing shower door, and sat adjacent an old smashed ceramic heater left attached to the dining room wall. Cheap plastic mats curled on the lacquered tables, requiring being weighted by objects to hold them down. Tancredi has the appearance of being once beautiful but no longer receiving basic attention and care.
- Ntombikhona (9/5): Great stay - Proximity to the shops Parking space is limitted
- Peete (10/5): Exceptional - Everything Nothing
- Patson (8/5): It was great, we enjoyed - Breakfast was good but needs to be changed for people staying more than 2 days. You cant have 1 type of breakfast for 6 days that we stayed there. There must be options for variety. One of the ladies there is someone not friendly working with customers. She needs some motivation and talks to be friendly, do her work with a smile.
- Geh (8/5): Very good -
- Dick (10/5): Wonderful stay, although Pietermaritzburg itself has lost much of it’s charm - Very nice, comfortable and cosy rooms, all with a different signature and style. Staff is very friendly
- Tintswalo (8/5): Very good -
- Tintswalo (9/5): Superb -
- Morgan (4/5): more improvement is needed in rooms - breakfast was excellent but the room was not comfortable, toilet need more attention also T. v. station. bed was bad
the room Wall cabinet inside was so dirty.
- Charlene (3/5): Poor - The pool was well maintained Our room had a leaking toilet that the owner refuse to fix. Door hamdel was broken. Roof leaked when it rained. No fans works in the eat area. Floor was noisy Breakfast not to much options. Aircons are old. One room light was broken.
- Andy (9/5): Superb -
- Nomkhosi (5/5): The accommodation was satisfactory, but it was uncomfortably hot due to the faulty air conditioning. - The breakfast was excellent and the rooms were immaculately clean. The owner didn't provide electricity, leaving us without power for several hours.
- Siviwe (10/5): Exceptional - Nomvula is the best, she accommodated when we asked for early morning breakfast takeaways. If they can add bottled water in the rooms
- Tony (10/5): Exceptional -

Communication and issue
- Tintswalo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tintswalo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marais (8/5): Great place - Sne is great. Very attentive.
- Lulu (8/5): Very good - In the morning there was power failure, which caused water cut-off, and which seemed to have affected only the property. This happened at the time we were taking a shower and the property could not be quick to come up with a solution. Unfortunately we had to leave without having a shower, after waited for over an hour.
Our breakfast was not as expected as we couldn't sit down for it, all because of the inconvenience experienced.
- Geert (10/5): Top - safe parking, clean and a very big good bed
- Linda (5/5): Passable -
- Nxasana (9/5): Superb - The place neat, customer care good and staff friendly. Nothing.
- Grobbelaar (9/5): Superb - unfortunately, daily the same breakfast every day not much to chose from Breakfast
- Nokulunga (9/5): Superb - Breakfast was excellent Parking is small
- Nogabe (7/5): Good -
- Edwin (9/5): Superb -
- Lushaba (8/5): Great staff , very friendly and helpful - Location and the staff Nothing really, it was worth the price.
- Nothando (5/5): Passable - breakfast everything inside the room Tjo the TV was way too small
- Wendy (8/5): Quant little B&B that served the purpose. Wonderful breakfast and super friendly staff. - No deposit or notice for cancellation required. I was able to reserve the same room for one more night upon my arrival, but had no problem cancelling the reservation the next morning when it became apparent that I did not need it anymore. Hot water is a problem. Rather wait a while to see if water comes out of the tap and then wait some more if it's not hot water. Had an ice cold shower when temps were low due to snow in the area.
- Mac (6/5): Pleasant -
- Tiisetso (8/5): Very good -
- Saskia (10/5): Lovely - Lovely stylish Victorian home. Wonderful breakfast. Very comfortable and a good place to relax. Everything was good.

- Scholastica (10/5): Exceptional -
- Michelle (9/5): Superb -
- Cyc (8/5): overall fantastic - breakfast was great
was overall decent, safe, and secure place could do with a moderning up its a bit antiquated looking for the price
& better sound proofing for the rooms - wood floors mean u hear everyone walking past
- Elizma (7/5): Comfortable, clean and nice breakfast! - Breakfast was very nice and they accommodated us in a bigger room when we asked. I had to ask for a bigger room as my son was travelling with me. They moved us to a bigger room, which we very much appreciated. They only accommodate breakfast between 7 to 9 and we unfortunately had to cater for our own breakfast on the one morning as we had to be at our venue by 6:30 am already. The problem was the microwave did not work and they did not provide any additional cutlery. Other than that our stay was very comfortable!
- Pillay (9/5): Superb -
- Susan (7/5): It was close to the School where we needed to attend a sports event - breakfast included in the stay - It was what we ordered The 2 single beds need new mattresses and pillows too soft
- Dr (10/5): Exceptional -
