- Yumnah (10/5): The location is fantastic. This is our new go-to place whenever we’re in that area. - The apartment is beautiful, peaceful, and very tastefully decorated inside. A lovely added touch was the electric blankets on the beds. Michelle was a warm and welcoming host, and she was accommodating throughout our stay. We have nothing negative to say—
- Kira (9/5): Cozy and comfortable. A perfect spot to rest your head after a day of activities. - Michelle was really lovely and easy to contact when needed. She checked in occasionally to see if we needed anything, which was greatly appreciated. The property was clean and cozy, perfect for our visit.
- Anne (10/5): Would stay again in a heartbeat - Our room was divine…beautiful furnishings, very well laid out and with everything you need. Shops close by, lovely little cafe 1 min walk. Michelle the owner was very friendly and super helpful. Loved it! Nothing

- Johnny (7/5): -
- Peter (9/5): -
- Martin (8/5): - Very hospitable host. Location is a bit out of town but very easy to Uber. These are minor issues, but there should be a door or curtain between the bathroom and living area. Also 2 of the 3 big windows/doors onto the indoor/outdoor courtyard had blinds.l, but not the 3rd? Walls are thin , you can hear upstairs and cars coming in and out

- Masnoena (10/5): -
- Masnoena (10/5): We've already booked our next stay! - Lovely place! It had everything we needed. We only brought our own food. The heater ran out of gas and Michelle kindly brought us another and made sure we were sorted before she left. We will definitely be back.
- Rian Anthony Ashworth (10/5): -
- Jared (10/5): Easy. Comfortable. Warm - It’s perfectly located for where we were and what we had planned. Electric blankets and gas heater ensured the night was warm and toasty. Nothing.

- Leroy (10/5): Exceptional - Very comfortable, cosy and next
- Francois (7/5): Good -
- Caren (10/5): - Clean, well kept room and you can walk to a brewery at night. Shopping mall also close. Just outside hermanus and 10 minute drive to the harbour and downtown area. Michelle was very helpful and sent pin to direct us.
- Inshaaf (10/5): Exceptional - We absolutely loved the rustic meets modern touches to the home. It felt warm and inviting even though there were some beautiful modern artworks throughout. Never have I met a hostess who went above and beyond to make our stay special. Thank you so so much for your warm welcome and kindness. Will definitely be back and recommend Hornbill House anytime 😊. The main bedroom latch continued to get stuck so the door wouldn't stay closed. The wooden floor in the main bedroom felt loose. Apart from 1 or 2 maintenance issues I cannot fault this place. Can only imagine how much better it would be with a swimming pool.
- Antoinette (10/5): Exceptional -
- Ten-bokum (9/5): Comfortable and convenient - Private unit with everything we needed, including braai facilities. Great breakfast and dinner options within walking distance. Close to the mall. Great value for money.

Kids really enjoyed it and wanted to stay for more few days. Thanks Michelle and the board for a perfect hospitality. Unforseen circumstances was definitely a weather looking forward for whale festival but mother nature couldn't alow . At hornbill everything was perfect only parking, the garage looks small although didn't park inside, car was safe on the parking slot. Looking forward to visit Hornbill again.

- Melanie (8/5): Michelle was fabulous. She went out of her way to make sure you were comfortable and was always available for questions - The location was perfect. Everything you needed was close by or a short drive away. Michelle was amazing. Very helpful. We will definitely go back. The wet shower. Otherwise everything was great. No complaints.
- Janine (10/5): We really enjoyed our stay, and appreciated all the effort. - Everything we needed was already there, and it was within walking distance of some great restaurants. The place is really neat and cozy, perfect for a weekend. I would have enjoyed being able to watch the rugby on Saturday night. But the main sports channel wasn't included in the DSTV package.

The Wifi wasn't great, but it wasn't all that important to us as we didn't spend a great deal of time in the unit.

- Marietjie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Lisa (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tino (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jaizjai (1/5): Bad - I don't care how friendly staff are. If you can't provide the necessary facility as to just ensure the client has access to basics like DSTV on/in the RWC? I WILL NOT give u a good rating. To spend u'r time with u'r family away from home to entertain them and that happens? Why would my family want to go there again. Or why would I recommend the place or any place like that?
- Nina (9/5): Superb -
- Belfort (9/5): Superb -
- Helene de (10/5): - Loved the stay!
- Vaughan (2/5): Very poor -
- Osman (10/5): Exceptional -
- Riana (5/5): Glad it was only for 2 nights - Not much The decor and paintings in the wall-way does not resemble the theme of the guest house. They got Confused with bookings and was not polite trying to sort it out

- Dorothy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rosalind (8/5): Very good -
- Angelika (8/5): We enjoyed our stay as we stayed there before . The room could do with a little LTC as the rugs were - Breakfast at Biga Artisan bakery was fabulous and we used it every morning during our stay . The power cuts as they were not well advertised. No power for 10 hours during the day is not except-able .
- Johan (8/5): Very good -
- Andre (10/5): Exceptional -
- Carol (7/5): Good -
- Francois (1/5): absolutely never ever again with that type of owner attitude - This owner should not be in the hospitality industry. The units seem to be an after-thought I stay regularly at R800 per night. I complained re the batteries and although replaced the packaging was left at the entrance. when asked for a few coffee sachets he simply stated it is self-catering I did not realize the unit would not be cleaned if I stay an extra night' I complained late in the day as the unit seemed poorly cleaned when I arrived no action by owner
- Van (8/5): Had a lovely stay at Hornbill. - Very clean and open space.
- Sarah (9/5): Superb -
- Mushwana (8/5): Very good -
- Naidoo (10/5): Exceptional -
