Guest Reviews

• Benjamin (4/5): A beautiful guest house but a poor sleep. - The staff were friendly and the house itself is beautiful. We were quite disappointed with our stay. Whilst the B&B was beautiful and full of character, we came home from dinner to find a large gathering of the owner's guests sitting outside our room, drinking and making a lot of noise. We found the shouting and loud music very disturbing. We noted several signs in the communal areas reminding guests to keep the noise down after 10pm, and couldn't help but notice the music only started after 10pm, and was being played at an unacceptable volume - we could barely hear our own TV. We think it would have been appropriate for the owners to warn us that their guests were expected to be partying in the communal area, especially because they greeted us earlier in the day, and never mentioned anything. We also noticed that the room we were allocated differed from the images online of the King Room. Overall, we did not really feel welcome at Holland House, and left early, to avoid awkward interactions. It's a pity, as we were looking forward to our stay.
• Jacobsen (10/5): - Warm family feel. Loved it. Just the shower was making a sound high pitch and the shower head was not my favorite.
• Claire (8/5): Definitely - Home away from home thank you. Comfy beds, cool rooms, clean and modern shower.
• Per (10/5): -
• Michelle (7/5): Mooie plek voor een nacht in Durban! - Lief personeel, mooie tuin met zwembad! De kamers zijn super gehorig. Wij lagen tussen de keuken, woonkamer en het kantoor en er was eigenlijk continue geluid.

• okema (9/5): Our stay was memorable - Breakfast was great, the old lady is a great cook, there was quite a variety, and on time. The location is also great, in a safe place and close to restaurants and shops. Well, the room was too busy with lots of art paintings and crafts around. They were nice though, but few could do.
• Paulette (8/5): Home away from home. Staff very friendly and nothing is too much trouble - Home away from home. Elliot is outstanding Nothing
• Lu (10/5): Home away from home - Lovely I had nothing bad to say
• Mo (7/5): Comfortable enough - Comfortable. Lovely spaceous shower. Very friendly and helpful staff Room was at the entrance. Noisy when people come in. Can’t see through the windows because they have “frosted film” for privacy, made me feel closed in and dark. The bed is squeaky.
• Okkers (3/5): - I didn't like that information provided was not taken properly, which caused confusion when booking in.
• kata (10/5): -
• Mokoadi (10/5): - Convenient location with easy access to Durban attractions. Close to Florida Road where a variety of restaurants are located. The lack of doors between the bedroom and the bathroom which may cause the bathroom smell to travel into the bedroom. The same applies for the use of curtains between the main bathroom and the living area. I would recommend the use of a space saver doors to keep the bathroom smell in the bathroom.
• Sarah (10/5): -
• Naicker (2/5): Totally gaslighted by the manager - Central, convenient location. Lot's of space inside the room. Owner was responsive when I expressed my unhappiness at the unfortunate situation that arose during check-in. I had booked two rooms on booking.com to accommodate 5 people. I booked the deluxe double room for myself and my partner, in which there is 1 double bed and a bathroom. I also booked the family suite for my adult daughter and her 2 teen brothers, in which there is a double bed with a bathroom downstairs (for my daughter) and 2 single beds and another bathroom upstairs (for the boys). So everyone had their own space and privacy. I made the booking and paid for it a month advance. When I got there, the manager, Elliot, only had the family suite available and gave the deluxe double room to another guest. When I expressed my unhappiness, he began to lie to me. He insisted I only booked the family suite. When I showed him my reservation on booking.com he lied again, saying the family suite only comprised of the two single beds upstairs and did not include the double bed downstairs. These rooms are connected by a staircase. It is a single unit with no door dividing them, so he was so obviously being dishonest about this. I showed him the room descriptions on booking.com and the photos of the rooms, which clearly show exactly what I paid for and he became increasingly aggravated, even though it was right there in black and white. The actual problem was that there was already another guest in the deluxe double room and the place was fully booked. It had no other rooms available, but instead of admitting he overbooked and apologising, Elliot totally gaslighted me and made as if I am a raving lunatic. Eventually,1 of the boys slept on the couch. I insisted on speaking to the owner, who Elliot phoned. When I explained the situation to her, she offered me a refund for the double room. She refunded me 80% of what I paid for the double room, saying I needed to request the other 20% from booking.com as it is paid to them as commission. Booking.com has ignored my query. Also, noise from the common areas makes it hard to sleep downstairs and parking is a nightmare.
• izel (10/5): - Special room and friendly host!! Loved the bath in the barhroom! Everything was splendid!!
• Pieterse (9/5): -
• Nicky (8/5): -
• Jo (9/5): Beautiful stay with wonderful people - Elliot and Kim were so helpful and accommodating, they really made sure I had a great stay. Big comfy bed, super hot shower and a wonderful breakfast each day. Couldn’t ask for more. The room I was in was in the middle of the house, so wasn’t always the quietest.

Literally, nothing.
• Peverati Filho (10/5): Uma experiência única para quem gosta de conforto - Uma decoração colonial clássica com muito conforto e bom gosto.Quartos sempre limpos e arrumados.
