Guest Reviews

• Asavela (8/5): Great - Friendly stuff We can't eat in our rooms because of the ants

• Thatow (1/5): unpleasant experience. - Nothing I recently visited this place and unfortunately had a very unpleasant experience. Shortly after we arrived, the electricity went off and the entire venue went completely dark. What made the situation worse is that there were no backup generators available to restore power. As a result, we had to sit in complete darkness while trying to eat, using only the flashlight from our phones to see our food. This really took away from what should have been an enjoyable outing. A venue should always have some form of backup plan for power outages, especially to ensure the comfort and safety of their guests. Overall, the experience was disappointing and not what we expected. I hope the management considers investing in backup power solutions to avoid situations like this in the future and provide a better experience for their customers.
• Kubayi (5/5): -
• Gift (8/5): It was amazing to be there, I meet people I didn't think I would ever meet in my life. - I didn't have a breakfast because I left early but I aet supper that night the food was nice I give thanks to the chef there. I wanna give thanks to the kindness and humble person I meet at reception that father is so welcoming and better person to hang around with so I may say god bless him. The room was cold.
• bezuidenhout (1/5): - I liked nothing, open electric wires room stinks there is no key for the room it is nothing what is shown on the internet. The people were all very unpleasant I didn't even spend an hour, I lost R400 witch they charged and went to stay at at another BnB witch was way better
• Ntsoaki (6/5): - The security was OK Sadly on the day I booked in it was raining and the bed was wet bt they did change the linen but again the ceiling was not in good conditions it looks like it could fall anytime. Surely the should do something She should also invest on backup plan when no electricity In de next morning we had to shower with cold water cause the petrol for their generator was finished and they couldn't buy ior whatever but that was sad too Noise it's uncontrolled I don't know if they also run a bar or whatever Tea or coffee facilities not good
• Naidoo (8/5): -
• TALENT T (2/5): I didnt enjoy my stay - The only thing i appreciate was it was close to the starting point of the Johnson Crane Marathon There was no electricity the whole time i was booked in and sad part is there was no effort to cater for guests on that aspect. There was also noise coming from the lounge of men playing snooker in the evening which went on up to midnight. a generator was switched only for a few hours and then turned off because "fuel is expensive"
• Nkuna (3/5): The guest is not ideal for a woman - I don’t like it . The house is a Tarven if not a brothel . There was no electricity we showered with cold water. The people at the Tarven were very loud the whole night. Our safety was undermined. People will be smoking cigarettes everywhere.
• Hlukani (10/5): - About how everything was and it's in a good and safe neighborhood especially for someone coming to Joburg for the first time Nothing on my side
• Prince (3/5): Not as expected - The only thing I like is the bathroom, so neat The WiFi doesn't connect, TV doesn't have signal and also the bed wasn't comfortable

• Ntombizodwa (6/5): It was okay, not entirely bad - I liked how comfortable the bed was The room was not really clean and the toilet door was difficult to open and close. The room a are also not soundproofed so you can hear almost everything happening in and outside the house
• Lisberth (3/5): Dissatisfied - Nothing There were no towels,no warm water in the shower and they were busy dancing making noise
• Mahlalela (6/5): -
• simphiwe l (10/5): -
• Dipeere (5/5): - Host was friendly That there's a fee of 200 to be paid to use the Jacuzzi
• Dipeere (6/5): Hiden fee to pay for the Jacuzzi on the website - The pool table I didn't like that the property never mentioned that you need to pay for the Jacuzzi until when we asked them to pour water for us so we can use it
• Charice (7/5): -
• Mhlambi (4/5): - None The location.. totally not suitable for vacation What you see is definitely not what you get

• Nel (5/5): -
• Beauty (10/5): - The place is clean Please consider buying hangers and put it on the rooms even 2 per room
• Dhlamini (6/5): - The staff was soo friendly, they took time to clean our rooms to make sure it's perfectly clean. We did not check during booking time that we must paid extra for jaquzi but the owner understood and gave us discount. Also they not self catering, the kitchen is for the staff only since they also selling food, but again they allowed us to use their kitchen to cook. Thank you soo guys. The fact that we booked 3 rooms and we were 5,okey their rooms accommodate 2 ppl. So we shared each other, then we slept 2 2 1.But now 1 of the rooms were smaller than the other rooms yet it's the same price as 4 couples.

• Dk (1/5): Did not stay in that place. Checked in and i have changed out just after i was shown my room - Did not feel safe at all. The room was cold no heater. Bed sheets looked old. Car pared in an un sheltered space not safe The place does not look the same as in the advertised pictures Owned by Nigerians nationals tend to speak a foreign language amongst each when you ask questions. Did not like that place That location of the place was not safe Loud music in that place.
• Makwe (8/5): - Joseph at the front desk, very resourceful individual. He woke up for us every time we came back in the AMs. The team was really very accommodating and considerate.
• Maureen Swanepoel (8/5): -
• Qiniso (8/5): Very good - It's close to the mall You have to eat at the dinning on a cold weather you can't eat in your room

• Phaladi (7/5): Good -
• Mlamuli (10/5): i was happy - good gate opening respond time
• Omphile (5/5): Passable -
• Khoza (7/5): Good - Garden and staff Tv channels and rules
• Lebogang (1/5): Bad -
• Lamhashu (5/5): Glynnwood Benoni - I recently stayed at this guest house and found it to be a pleasant and well-maintained establishment. The rooms were impeccably clean, creating a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, the garden was beautifully kept, offering a serene outdoor space to unwind. However, there are a few areas for improvement. The rooms do not have a tea station, which would be a great addition for guests looking to refresh themselves conveniently. Parking space is limited, which could be a challenge for those traveling with a vehicle. Lastly, communication was somewhat difficult, as the staff primarily spoke one of the North African languages and were not fluent in English, making inquiries and requests a bit challenging. Overall, the guest house has a lot of positives, particularly in terms of cleanliness and ambiance. Addressing the mentioned concerns would further enhance the experience for visitors.
• Moalosi (1/5): Bad -
• Siphoesihle (8/5): Very good -
• Captain (8/5): Very good - The bed is comfortable and staff they are to friendly and kind 😊 They must kill all the rats on the roof it's so disturbing
• Le2ku2la (10/5): It felt like home - The place was nice, it's like a second home. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. Nothing
• John (9/5): Superb -
• Lerato (1/5): Bad -
• Tokollo (1/5): Bad -
• Lindiwe (3/5): I was not happy - standard was too low food was burnt (pork ) for dinner rats in building disturbing me in my room linen was dirty and smelling in room 5 room 1 throw over was full of mucus or sperms it was very disgusting I had to ask for a change of blanket
• Omphile (6/5): Pleasant -
• Doctor (2/5): Booking.com standard dropping - There's no respect, the people are so Noisy and no safety for your vehicle because just by the behavior you feel unsafe and attitude you can't sleep peacefully, I think there's an all night bar and people play pool There was no Peace
• Sfiso (5/5): Passable -
• Lebohang (5/5): Passable -
• Pair (6/5): Pleasant -
• Kea (2/5): Very poor - Quietness They didn't have a fridge, the was no hot water in the shower in the morning. The curtains were half closing.
• Lithemba (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lithemba (10/5): Exceptional -
• Thabo (7/5): Relati Ely good - The quietness at the facility None
• Leon (1/5): The pics and the place itself speak different. - None Overall, not good.
• Thulisile (5/5): Passable - Very good if you’re looking for low budget accommodation. I loved my bed- it was very comfortable hey. The staff was friendly. I had to leave with a creased t-shirt because of “load shedding/ load reduction”. In future a generator would help.
• Dj (9/5): Superb - Staff was helpful all the time. Were able to even meet my personal needs or request. I booked for a family house/room and it turned out that family room is one room and it also a small room. So I had to Augue before they take me to the right room I've booked for. Another thing I don't know why is the Jacuzzi not included on the booking invoice or booking price? It really farstraiting that I've to pay an additional fee separately for the Jacuzzi.
• Lumkile (5/5): Passable -
• Noluvuyo (5/5): Passable -
• Lungile (10/5): Best best at affordable prices - Hospitality Nothing
• Phemelo (1/5): Very bad poor service as I have to go during the night out of my room and round about 100m meters to access dirty bathro - Only the location They forget about my booking I was given room without shower and bathroom
• Lindani (1/5): Bad -
• Wandile (3/5): The whole needs to be renovated - Security is okay The room
• Palesa (9/5): Superb -
• Le2ku2la (10/5): It was great and homely. Definitely going back there - We didn't have breakfast there. Everything was good
• Omphile (7/5): Good -
• Zandile (1/5): Bad - I didn't like anything hence I didn't sleep I had to go to another guest house I need my refund
• Mclean (5/5): Passable -
• Cele (1/5): Horrific - The place was not as described on the pictures. I think the pictures were downloaded from the internet. It was dirty and the hot tub did not work. I felt really unsafe as the host was non South African and lied about being able to speak Zulu, even his English was very poor. I was not allowed to have the room key, the host insisted that he has to keep the key me lock us inside the room. The certificates they have for liquor licenses or anything is fake. The place is a risk for human trafficking I could not sleep there I had to find an alternative accommodation. I am highly disappointed that Booking.com does lot vet these accommodations! Everything
• 2nzi (7/5): Good -
