Guest Reviews

• Audrey (9/5): - Not applicable Not applcable
• Erna (9/5): - Nice and quiet, the staff very friendly and helpful!
• Omozuwa (6/5): -
• Slindile (6/5): -
• van Jaarsveld (8/5): Comfortable stay. Room can use with some TLC. - The bed was very nice and very nice pillows The bathroom ceiling and walls could do with a decent paint. They can perhaps do some cable management for fridge and kettle. The front door is a bit worn down. Parking is also a bit dodgey with me driving a small car and the parking has uneven surface. Could use a smart tv or tv box
• Peter (4/5): - Staff were friendly Setup
• Mzimasi (10/5): - Everything Nothing
• Mihloti (10/5): - I had a balcony the view was excellent 👌 Nothing
• Nkosi (10/5): - The staff was great the service everything the people around were nice everything was fully functional the bed was clean we came to. Check in the room was clean and yeah 10/10 it's a great place to stay at.
• Yolanda (8/5): -
• Rufus (8/5): We enjoyed our stay there. It was a well relaxed place, quite from noisy areas. - I won't comment about the breakfast because I did nt include it during our bookings. I kept on communicating with the lady who was in charge throughout our journey to Bellville. She welcomed us and showed us the place around and our rooms where to sleep. She made us feel at home away from our home. She even went an extra mile by allowing us to leave our luggage because we attending my son's graduation. She was so helpful and waited for us until we come back from graduation event.. Bravo to her and the Boston guest house family. Please include more channels in your TV programmers, eg more sports and discovery channels.
• sambo (10/5): -
• Cathy (9/5): Good stay for a large group. Comfortable and safe area. - The area is quite and we felt safe. Comfortable and good value for money.
• Tiyimele (10/5): - Staff was amazing, attentive and responsive
• Guest (8/5): -
• zinkfontein (9/5): -
• Heinrich (8/5): -
• Simpson (7/5): - Privacy. Cleanisly was very good. Slow response on the gate 🔔
• Ruth (4/5): - It was a secure guest house with a good remote controlled security gate. The toilet was clean. There were facilities to cook your own food and a fridge in the room if required. Unfortunately, I was not impressed with the guest house because the room was crowded with furniture, not clean and the bedside lamp wiring was sparking/ not functional so I had to unplug it for safety. The shower had gunk in the bottom of it and there was no hand soap in the bathroom. It also smelt heavily of both cigarette smoke and food. I would not recommend it for a good night's sleep as the neighbourhood is very noisy with lots of alarms going off at all hours.
• Riana (8/5): Home away from home, great hospitality. - Friendly staff, secure parking, safe area, clise to Airport and Tygerberg hospital. I would like to have a flat sheet as well during summer and not only a duvet.
• ELIZABETH (6/5): Good value for money - The location was nice and reasonably quiet. We booked to arrive at two o clock. The room was 90% ready, although she kept contact with us the whole morning. We got an outside room with no ventilation in the bathroom, and it was awful to me. I did ask for airfreshner, but none was put in the room. So I had to endure it, and it was NOT a pleasant experience to me. My daughter got an i side room, and the place was beautiful and smelled much nicer than our room. It ìs good value for money, though.
• Melissa (8/5): -
• de Beer (10/5): Great stay - Perfect place, thank you, will definitely stay there again!
• Wayne (5/5): It was okay for the money you pay, the parking was secure and the staff was excelent. - The beds was uncomfortable and was 2 singles as to one double bed.
• Henno (10/5): -
• Audrey (7/5): -
• Roxann (1/5): Not worth the money we spent - The lady that welcomed us was very friendly I needed to check out a day before, I did not want a refund i just suggested that if its possible can my son (14year old) have complementary breakfast seeing that we already paid for nights. The lady said she will find out. She called the owner and was advised no we we cannot if we want breakfast it costs R150. I was like but we paid for 2 nights, we only stayed 1 so the balance would be sufficient but we were denied access to have a small meal before leaving. Noting that there was not even other guests and the food was just laying there. I would definitely not recommend this place if an owner cannot show a kind gesture to a child. And then to add there was no water so we could not bath.
• Heather (6/5): Okay! - I did not had breakfast. The location according to my research was good and relatively close to the airport. The bed and room was very comfortable. The terrible noise outside! Started at about 6pm on a Sunday evening that sounded like a car workshop, cars revving up and down the street. Then drunk people screaming and shouting which sounded like a massive fight. This continue till after 9pm. The "hot" water in the shower / bath was not more than luke warm.
• charmaine (8/5): -
• OFENTSE OMPHEMETSE (8/5): Good - Hospitality and staff oh the breakfast was the best Nothing
• Cameron (10/5): -
• Riana (8/5): Comfortable, safe area and parking, frienfly staff. - We did not have breakfast there. Safe parking, close to the Aiport as well as Tygerberg hospital. Friendly staff. Will for sure stay there again. In the summer I would prefer to have a flat sheet on the bed as well and not only a duvet.
• Nadia (8/5): - The room was spacious
• Mervyn (8/5): - Quirky, a bit colonial, a bit art deco, was probably amazing in it's hey day. Could do with a little TLC but perfectly adequate, very clean and the beds were very comfortable. Staff were welcoming and very helpful and polite. It's not a palace but for the 'money, excellent. 15 minutes easy drive to airport. Nothing other than the TV was a mystery to me, but that's probably me..

• Mari-etta (1/5): I was not happy at all. - The location was good Bad maintenance, Rusted outside furniture, Pool out of commission, TV not on par (Open View only), no chair in room, breakfast only after 08h00. Braai directly outside my bedroom door for other customers to use, made me feel very exposed.

• Yoliswa (8/5): -
• Abrahams (6/5): - There was everything you did with friendly staff thank you so much Tammy The room was very small
• Lyndon (10/5): -
• Liesel (6/5): - Big spacious rooms & comfortable beds It's a big house, but clearly needs renovation attention. My bathroom door, had a hole in it. The bathroom light switch was split in 2 parts. The rooms door lock was loose and the rubber seal between the door frame & door continuously came loose, preventing the door to close & lock and had to fix this myself. The safety door, towards the stoep didn't want to open, preventing me to relax on the stoep and the furniture on the stoep... was an ABSOLUTE NO NO! The small fridge didn't want to freeze ice (very old) and barely kept the food cold. 1 of 2 bed lamps didn't have a cover/shade. The bathroom & bedroom was devided with a dry wall - this needed attention and the bath was also closed up with panels - this looked horrible. The baths drain kept on blocking!

• ambogo (9/5): Awesome - I loved the customer service. Sammy & Themmy were wonderful. They ensured I was comfortable during my stay and were always ready to help. I'd recommend that you have flip flops for the bathroom.
• van Rooyen (4/5): -
• Liska (8/5): Friendly staff and convenient, safe location, close to Tygerberg Hospital. - Breakfast was not included in my stay. It would have been nice if there was a desk and chair in my room so that I could work at night. But there was a general area to sit in.
