- SUMAYAH (10/5): مميزه وتبقى ذكرى - التعامل الليق والنظافه وكثره التفاصيل الجميلة كانك في متحف والنباتات الجميله في كل مكان تشعر انك عند اهلك او جدتك صاحبه المكان امرأه مذهلة لايوجد
- Justine Randell (10/5): -
- Vister (5/5): - Vehicles was in safe place The heavy footsteps on wooden floors
- Pieter (10/5): - Very old but vrr clean and nothing broken or worn down through tje years🙂 Nothing9
- Kernen (1/5): - I was urgently looking for place to sleepover. As soon as I made the payment, the facility called me to apologize that room is not available, it was within 2 minutes. I lost money, although they promise to refund , I lost R900 within minutes. Refund still not done.
- Eunice (4/5): - Location was great Looks nothing like the picture, the person working there wasn't so friendly. Didn't give me any details I literally had to ask for everything. Didn't even give the WiFi password.
- meindert (10/5): -
- Allan (10/5): - N/A
- van der Spuy (9/5): Way to short, can't wait for the next chance to do so. - Did not have breakfast, but I can tell you that the coffee was great. Also chatting with the owner was a real treat, a kind and friendly person. Matter of a miscommunication I feel could have been handled differently.

- Melikhaya (10/5): Zoete Inval is top notch! - I enjoyed the stay at Zoete Inval, what caught my attention is the old school furniture and space which is available to the guests for chilling and braai! Everything was top notch even the breakfast in the morning❤️❤️❤️👌👌👌👌👌loved it!
- Colin (9/5): -
- Gustaaf (8/5): - Vriendelijk en hygienisch Één beetje verouderd interieur
- Christine (10/5): Highly recommended, warm, welcoming, organised arrival. - A quiet 1 km walk along a parallel street to the centre of town avoiding a noisy Main road. I had back problems so this was very flat and quiet for me. The garden is beautifully maintained with lots of seating areas. Alicia the manager/staff is wonderful and so is Marilyn the owner who went out of her way offering assistance for a doctor, massage or spa for my painful back. Highly recommended. Nothing really. There are stairs up to the accommodation if that is an issue for you.
- David (10/5): - Great location. Friendly, helpful staff. Lovely surroundings.

- Roland (6/5): Pleasant -
- Karina (10/5): The best place in Hermanus - I believe that it is one of the most cosy places in Hermanus!!!. Very nice people too!! You feel like being at home!! Marylin provided a Saturday evening dinner as well- very cozy!! She can help you with booking of tours too. Walking distance to the waterfront!!!

- Dario (10/5): Lovely guesthouse in beautiful Hermanus. Marilyn (owner) so thoughtful. Reccomended for families! -
- Ruchelle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jeremy (6/5): Good but a bit over the top as an authoritarian hostel - Big room Outside toilet. Too many rings and rules
- Jeremy (7/5): Nice stay for two days, but I still prefer a bathroom with a room when possible - Garden kitchen walking distance from town Outside bathroom weak Wi-Fi too many signs
- Lourens (6/5): Pleasant -

- Adrie (9/5): Superb -

- Vuyolwethu (1/5): Bad -
- Sally (3/5): Poor -
- Rita (10/5): Exceptional - I asked for a secure place for our bikes. That was provided and our room was big n cozy. The staff helped us so we could lock up n leave early.
- Colin (7/5): Good -
- Elton (7/5): Good -
- Hitesh (9/5): Great homely place that i would definitely revisit. - Staff were impeccable, super welcoming and very helpful. Nice and quiet, homely place. Would definitely stay here again, compared to the other hostel nearby that kicked me out when i came to visit a fellow traveler, and was rudely told to leave, as no guests allowed there. Staff seemed much more understanding/welcoming here, having experienced both places. Lack of sockets (don't think there were any!) in the dorm room i stayed in, so you had to leave your phone charging overnight in the lounge area outside the dorms. Other than that no other issues, decent place and would definitely stay there again, but would bring a power bank with me.
- Kgosiemang (2/5): Disappointed. - Very close to town and she is so friendly. She has a big cat and I paid for double bed but when I get the boom 2 single bed I asked her she said she give it to someone else just like that she said I came late and the furniture was full of dust.
- Rod (4/5): My wife slept well. I could not. Traffic noise outside my window. It was homely though and that hel - The hostess was kind and did her best to accommodate us and make us comfortable. Rooms off other rooms, connecting rooms.
- Deirdre (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anja (10/5): Just lovely - A beautiful warm and very welcoming place to stay! Thank you for that awesome days in your little guesthouse, Marylin and Jan.
I had the only one double room with its own bathroom and that was very nice and quiet. The Breakfast is perfect !
- Callanan (10/5): Will return - Everything fantastic Owners location and atmosphere Stunning Nothing lacking
- Hilton (10/5): Exceptional - There's a Geocache there. Safe parking behind locked automatic gate. There is gas cooking, there is free coffee and tea. I enjoyed watching TV till late at night. Lots to do in Hermanus. Did I mention that there is a Geocache on the property. Stay was too short.
- Gerber (7/5): Good - Rekaxed atmosphere Bright outside light shining into the room & the extra "bed = bunk" not comfortable for 2nd person sharing the room!!! 😔😢😔
- Anele (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bessie (8/5): Very good -
- Jessica (10/5): Exceptional - Worthy of recommendation

- Africa (7/5): Very nice for a family outing on a budget, for both my elderly parents and my 4yr old - It is a backpackers type lodge and facilities are a bit aged but staff were very helpful and friendly and for the price as well as the fact that we made no prior arrangements it was a lovely stay, had the opportunity to meet some nice people as well as buy very nice fruit preserves Overall facility could do with a upgrade although it is evident attention is given to cleanliness
- Thembisa (1/5): I will never recommend anyone. I wanted to move out the following day but unfortunately for me Herma - On internet it says free breakfast where as they talking about Cereal. Veetbix The room was not clean, there were bedbugs.We use same towels for the whole weekend.
