- Koen (5/5): Expect what you pay for. - The location and the room layout. Looks as if this is more like accommodation where contract workers are housed. Had to deal with guests that were snorting while sitting in the breakfast area and were eating with their hands and spoons. Seems that they do not know how to use a fork and knife. I did not even return to the breakfast area after my first visit.

- Nobiva (3/5): Poor -
- Andile (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nelisiwe (5/5): Not recommended - The lady working in the facility is friendly and very helpful and made us a nice breakfast. Although the building is beautiful,the furniture in the room is old and there was a bad mouldy smell in the room.i thought maybe it's the walls that are maybe wet or dirty carpets placed next to the bed ,it just didn't smell fresh.There was also a dirty,noisy aircon above the shower it goes on automatically when you switch on the toilet light,it was very irritating when showering..

- Jack (7/5): Value for money - The facility is very well situated and surroundings quiet and peaceful They could invest in back up power as this impacted the comfort of stay (aircon and tv) and quality of breakfast (no coffee/tea or toast). Breakfast variety can be bigger especially for someone who cannot eat eggs.
- Andre (8/5): Very good -
- Bapiwe (1/5): Bad -
- Simpiwe (8/5): Enjoyable fun and do some work in the facility - Breakfast was very enjoyable but served very early even during weekend...........could be nice if its extended to 10h30. Nothing really noticed or noted
- Sarah (7/5): very comfortable, spotlessly clean, staff were helpful, good value for money. would definitely use Santorini again. - location to golf course no back up power, door locks not easy, battled to lock and unlock door to room
- Mbana (9/5): Grumpy stuff - I liked everything about the Guest house.. it was clean and beautiful, we jus ddnt get the chance for a swimming pool coz it was raining lol. The cleaning ladies were so grumpy. We missed breakfast by 30mins and we asked the lady in the kitchen if we get a refund since we missed breakfast. She said she doesn't know she's gonna call a lady who may know.. the lady comes and already her face is sour.. we greet and ask her about a refund she says she doesn't know.. in a very un-polite way still in a sour face. It's like she was disgusted.. she turned around n went on to do her job. We Ddnt even have a gut to ask more because ey..lady was not interested

- Verified traveler (10/5): - Great family run guesthouse. Good breakfast. Nice place to stay a night when traveling through the area.
- Marizan (10/5): Great place! - Alway a pleasure staying over at this guest house.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Great Stay !!! - We arrived early in East London. We were afforded an opportunity to check in earlier. The check in was smooth. The welcoming was great. I found the hospitality was equally great . The room was fitted with a mini bar fridge ,queen bed and it was spacious . We enjoyed our stay.
- Annerie (10/5): - Lovely Guesthouse, clean and friendly. Easy access to all the main events and great to stay at.
- Jo (10/5): Good choice in East London - Santorini is an outstanding choice when one visits East London. It is a short drive to the beach front and a restaurant or two there, or else one drives in the other direction for restaurants located in Berea. However, although there are major roads nearby, one does not hear any of that noise. For the golfers, there is a course in close proximity. To top it all, the rates are extremely attractive. So, although the Aegean Sea is thousands of kilometres away, at least this Santorini will not break the bank!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Business travel - Very adequate for business travel and I will certainly stay there again.
- Jacob (8/5): - A lovely little guest house, located in a nice quite neighborhood.
- Allie (10/5): Clean with a very good atmosphere - It was great woooow my home away from home
