- Derlé (10/5): - Everything you need when travelling to Stellenbosch. Room was clean, there was safe parking for my car, the host came to greet me personally and the location is perfect.
- eleanor (7/5): Overall comfortable and the owner was helpful in making bookings for us - In a quiet road walkable to Spar etc on outskirts of town
Old fashioned but bright and friendly
Comfortable bed, decent large bathroom and plenty of cupboard space No lounging out door furniture and a drawback not being able to see the majestic mountains. Dislike fake grass and the tiny plunge pool looked uninviting
- Celeste (10/5): - The rooms were clean and the staff were incredibly friendly. Great attention to detail. It it a home away from home for sure.
- Una (10/5): -
- Nadine (10/5): Isle and her staff were amazing. Kind and so welcoming. -

- christelle (8/5): -
- Jochen (10/5): - Sehr atmosphärisch eingerichtet. Schöne Terrasse. Freundliche Gastgeberin. Gutes Bett. Sehr sauber. Streamingdienste (lautstärkereduziert). Zu Fuß in die Stadtmitte 15 - 20 Minuten. Parkplatz am Haus. Das Bellen der Hunde von den Nachbargrundstücken.

- Elkatip (9/5): We had a very short stay but it was clean and very nice - Very clean place and really nice and accommodating host
- Annali (5/5): good for a quick overnight - It was the cheapest stay we could find in Stellenbosch for me and two students so we took it. I did expect a little more at the price but I suppose that is Stellenbosch prices for you. Loved the aircon and had a dip in the quaint little pool. Owner was helpful. Lovely linen and all the amenities that you could want I did expect a little more for the price. Possibly drinking water in the fridge .Outside stoep had not been cleaned as there was cigarette buts in the ashtray. Other than that totally passable for a one night stay and nothing that I can fault it with.
- Alex (9/5): -
- Sarah (7/5): -
- Mentoor (10/5): Peaceful - The outside was beautiful . privacy was amazing I love that.and a very good location. Nothing ..I only stay for 1 night.
- Marianne Elisabeth (10/5): heel fijn naast mijn werk. Mooie tuin met zwembadje en lekker plekjes om te zitten. Dichtbij centrum - de tuin, locatie en het ontbijt -
- Albert (9/5): schönes Haus, guter - Sehr schönes Haus, sehr nette Gastgeber, schöner Garten, alles da was man braucht. Wenig Privatsphäre, da Ausgänge zum Garten praktisch ohne Trennung.
- Jolandie (7/5): -
- Martin (10/5): Sehr liebevoll mit schönem Garten - Wir hatten ein sehr schönen Aufenthalt und schätzten die Liebe zum Detail. Der Garten mit vielen Sitzgelegenheiten war sehr schön. Freundliche Besitzerin und Personal. Die Lage war nah.am Zentrum, jedoch mit Uber definitiv empfehlenswert, besonders in der Dunkelheit. -
- Leonore (8/5): - Ilse ist eine sehr nette und aufmerksame Gastgeberin. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Alles war top!
- Laís (7/5): Simples, mas ok. - O checkin foi bem tranquilo, o quarto oferecia chaleira, café e chá e possui tv smart. Estavamos em 4 e reservamos 2 quartos. Um dos que ficamos não foi condizente com o da reserva. Nos colocaram no quarto mais simples que era o mais barato. Como chegamos no local, deixamos as malas, pegamos as chaves e só voltamos tarde, não conseguimos cobrar pelo quarto que haviamos reservado e pago. Acabou que foi bem chato.
Os quartos são bem simples, e esse mais barato que ficamos o banheiro era bem ruim, não tinha ar condicionado/aquecedor. Não acho que vale o que cobram.
- Tracey (5/5): - Convenient The smell of cooking breakfast through the one locked door needs to be sealed
- Jean (10/5): -
- Sherriff (10/5): -
- Yololwethu (6/5): Leisure time - Cleanliness Too much noise in the morning hours and afternoon.
- Frederic (7/5): Une propriétaire sympathique mais un logement moyen - Sympathie de la propriétaire Climatisation pour le chaud qui marchait mal et très bruyante dans l’une des deux chambres
Pas d’occultation du jour
État vétuste d’une des deux chambres, avec des dégâts des eaux dans la salle de bain
Nécessité d’une voiture pour aller dans le centre
- Tom (9/5): - Sehr freundliche Menschen. Unkompliziert.
- Jeni (9/5): We enjoyed the stay and will return. - The breakfast was good. The location was 600m from where we needed to go. Not much. It was very comfortable
- Maryke (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nicolle (5/5): Good value for a 1 night stay - Location was close to Stellenbosch and value for money The mezzanine room above my room was exceptionally noisy and you can hear the person using the toilet speaking and moving around. The bathroom shower feels very exposed to the above windows where the covering does not meet the window.
- Bianca (8/5): Very good -
- Louise (6/5): Pleasant -
- Lucas (10/5): Lovely Accommodation in Die Boord, Stellenbosch - Excellent location. Lovely accommodation. Great Hostess. Everything was perfect, thank you. N/A
- Monique (8/5): Very good - Very noisy fan above my room
- Sune (9/5): Superb -
- Ayanda (9/5): I had a good stay - The cleanliness There are no gowns/robe in the rooms
- Eon (8/5): Very good -
- Jaco (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and tidy room, I loved the finer detail in the room that really makes your stay comfortable. The staff were very friendly too. I highly recommend!
- Cmouton (8/5): A comfortable stay at a great location - This guest house was very conveniently located. The hostess was very friendly and kind. Checking in was easy and without any problems. I had a pretty small room, but it was perfect for what I needed. There was even a nice working space for doing some remote work. Even though everything was compact I never felt cramped, and I'm a big person! All in all a great experience and I'll stay here again. It was a bit noisy with the German students staying there. This is however not the fault of the establishment.
- Hermanus (9/5): Great guesthouse. Friendly host and staff. Beautiful garden. Central. - Host and staff extremely friendly. Room was clean and comfortable and there were no issues. Lovely garden with a pool. Nothing.
- Southgate (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jacques (10/5): Home away from home - Loved stay at Absolute Bosch Guest House. 5 star rating. Ilse is a fantastic host 👏
- Sanjay (7/5): Good -
- Albert (9/5): Superb -
- Mabena (6/5): Pleasant -
- Venushka (9/5): Superb -
- Mert (10/5): Cozy and lovely - Home away from home, very friendly owner and cozy place to stay
- George (9/5): A quality residence with friendly and considerate staff. - A spacious property with a nice,relaxing pool/garden area. The only thing that wasn’t excellent was the constant electrical humming noise(similar sound to an extractor fan)which was right outside my room and disturbed my sleep .
- Tshenolo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Claire (9/5): Superb -
- Madelein (7/5): Comfortable and convenient - So conveniently close to everything that is Stellies. They were most accommodating for our delayed check in and keen to assist with any queries or concerns. The bathroom could do with a lick of paint and finishes are probably not at the standard I would have expected but it was spacious and comfortable. I had to request a mirror for the dressing table/ desk, but it was immediately addressed - when I got back to the room there was a mirror on the table.
- Una (9/5): Excellent, comfortable premises. I’d definitely go back - It was spacious, light, convenient, fairly quiet. It was well equipped and there was parking onsite. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was cleaned or tidied regularly. There was air-con and a hairdryer It would have helped if there were instructions on how to use the microwave, the shower and the air-con. The air-con started blowing out air at 27 degrees at one stage and neither I nor the lady who was overseeing the premises knew how to correct it. To her credit, she called some and it was fixed the next day.

- Lucas (10/5): Great Accommodation in Die Boord, Stellenbosch - Once again, my stay at Absolute Bosch Guest House was amazing. Peaceful environment. Great accommodation. Lovely Hostess. I can highly recommend this Establishment to any discerning traveler or visitor to the area. N/A
- Maurice (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julian (8/5): Very good -
- Jakob (7/5): Nice simple guest house for a good price - Very nice host, clean room, terrace to relax Not the best location and pool is not really for swimming
- Jennifer (8/5): Friendly host, safe residential location. - Very friendly host, in what feels like a safe residential neighbourhood. Cute additions like a chocolate on the pillow, a jar of biscuits with the tea and coffee facilities, and fairylights. There was an electric blanket, which was very much needed! I was really cold here, even with the electric blanket turned on (only one side of the bed seemed to work - unless I just hadn't found the socket for where the blanket on the left side of the bed was plugged in). I know it was the end of winter, but I didn't expect my accommodation to be that cold. Maybe a central heating system isn't common in South Africa?
- Kaanita (10/5): Exceptional -
- John (10/5): Helpful - Very helpful, clean and convenient.
- Chris (10/5): Exceptional -
- Annemi (8/5): Great location with parking - Great location in central Stellenbosch with secure off-street parking. Close to access roads and shopping center.
Very friendly and accommodating host.
Fridge, kettle, milk and rusks provided, even if the breakfast option was not taken, which was a very nice touch.
Perfect for short stay for work purposes. Nothing, had everything I required for my stay.

- Mostert (8/5): Value for money. - Breakfast was good, staff were friendly and accommodating. We will recommend it as an affordable stay in Stellenbosch. Nothing in particular.
- Philile (8/5): Liza-Marie is a wonderful host. - Provisions made for cold weather were highly appreciated. Tea counter was also beautifully set and sufficiently stocked up. The wooden floors caused a bit of noise when the resident above my room walked around their unit. Negligible.
- Kolosa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Polisa (8/5): Amazing, - Breakfast was amazing. I liked that she asked how i liked mine done.
Location was so easy to find. Situated in a beautiful , quiet neighbourhood. nothing
- Ivor (8/5): Perfect soft landing. - The bed was so comfortable.
- Claudia-mother (10/5): Exceptional - The friendliness of the owner and staff. I have stayed here several times for work. It is conveniently located and quiet.
- Ajay (2/5): Very disspointed - Clean The breakfast was not value for money. I did state that we dont eat beef and pork, the establishment could hvae improvised and served chicken, fish etc. The room that was advertised was not the room that my family slept it, very dissapointed. There is a net curtain that seperates the shower /bathroom and the room. with teenage kids how would you think that would work with privacy? Overall a 1 out of 10.
- Mhlanga (8/5): Very good -

- Nick (9/5): Excellent - 100% AllOK
- Rinaka (10/5): Exceptional - Convenient location, spacious room with desk for working. Great shower and all facilities needed.
