- Gwyn (3/5): The appearance is not accurate in the photos or the review description. - The property is not like the photos and is not a 4 star. The showers did not work, rooms smelt like mold, and are small and with bad lighting. There was no door on the bathroom. The standard was low and what is more problematic is the claim that this is a four star.

- Siki (6/5): I was not happy at all. - It’s neat and safe.
The breakfast was very nice, • The host was never ready to receive us, apparently our booking was not reflecting on their calendar so I couldn’t be checked in. Waited outside for about an hour trying to contact the manager, gathering proof of my booking, proof of payment etc. It was very frustrating and the lady at the reception didn’t make it any easy.
• The manager told me to wait for her she will come in 15 minutes, she never came through.
• I don’t know what program Booking.com uses to engage with the property but it definitely failed me, it needs to improve please.
- Linda (7/5): Pleasant stay and I’d come again - Comfy bed and pleasant surroundings Only had two cups in a family room for the three of us so we had to share them, as well as the complimentary tea/coffee/ biscuit. Unfortunately, although the food itself was good, because it was pre prepared and the plates were very cold, by the time I got my breakfast to the table to eat it, it was a cold meal.
- Mgxashe (10/5): The stay was good. - The comfort and cleanliness The water was cold in the morning
- Philippa (8/5): Very good -
- Sbahle (10/5): Amazing - The staff and the owner are really amazing , they made sure me and my husband and our little was were comfortable, checked on us everytime. They even assisted us with our bags when we checking out. Amazing host. Definitely will recommend Well not much, everything exceed my expectations
- Sandile (4/5): Disappointing -

- Zukiswa (8/5): We enjoyed our stay, we will surely stay again next time we are visiting. - Breakfast was served early and ended early, we had to go somewhere else for breakfast. B having breakfast served until 11;00 atleast with proper and atlleast nice variety of food. For instance if you are serving muesli, there should be fruit on the side to serve it with.
- Iris (1/5): Bad - Nothing much After many years of staying at Arum house with my wife ( 4 x a year) padt year we had a representative in PE who has now left the company - we will resume working in EL but after being asinged an annex room - Sadly we will never return to Arum house.
