- Janita (7/5): Will definitely come back - We have stayed at Vanilla several times. Very good breakfast, location and staff. Will definitely go back. We had problems with the shower. Gas was finished so.no hot water to shower. We couldn't teach anyone as it was late. But at 0430am they fixed the problem and we were able to shower in the morning. Master bed matrass needs replacing.
- Nilesh Narayan (10/5): - Very nice experience overall. The place itself is quite good, with a great location in a safe and secure environment. The people were very friendly and helpful throughout my stay. A special thanks to the owner, Sonja, and the wonderful team working there — your hospitality made the experience even better. Highly recommended!
- Dineo (10/5): Crispy clean and Quiet Place - The breakfast was absolutely amazing and the fact that I was asked prior for Sonja to prepare special meal for religious reasons was absolute bliss. The location is close to almost everything and 3km from a 24 hours car wash.
- Mampa (9/5): - Exceeded expectation Not applicable
- Nondumiso (10/5): - Every thing about place and environment Limited breakfast menu for non pork eaters

- Le Cordier (10/5): Vanilla Guest House -Randburg - The staff were awesome. The place was immaculate. Peaceful,great for some time out . Centrally situated,safe N/A
- Susan (5/5): We chose Vanilla Guest House for the location. - Location was great, as I needed to be near family. Rooms were clean. Parking was not a problem It was quiet. Breakfasts were definitely a hit and miss option. We were told on Monday that there was no gas, and that "they" were waiting for it to be changed over, after waiting over 15 mins, with no communication we guessed it was not going to happen. and so we left. We tried to communicate that to one of the staff, but I was not 100% sure it was understood. There is no lights left on, when you come back at night, that was very frustrating. Communication with the staff was quite difficult. It appeared that we were the only guests for most of our stay.
- Janita (7/5): Homely - Mavis is love and very helpful. Gas geyser needs to be updated or replaced. Water is either boiling or switches off. We have stayed with you 3 times. Lovely accommodation location and facilities. Only problem was showering. Our daughter was in room 6 and also had problems with the shower Just the shower
- Howard (10/5): -
- Janine (7/5): -
- charles (8/5): in general, a very good stay and friendly personnel always available . - very good breakfast. The plates should be warmed, please.
- Gift (9/5): -
- Mariëtte (9/5): -
- Mariana (9/5): -
- Square (7/5): Good -
- Nozibusiso (9/5): Great stay overall. - Serenity at it's best. Everything is thought out like electric blanks in your bed. It's super clean and fresh everyday. Information is on the walls for facilities. The water doesn't get really hot and no clear instructions on checking out.
- Michelle (10/5): Exceptional -
- Gabi (9/5): Wonderful comfortable stay for a business trip - Everything was fine, breakfast was good. Tip: Upon guests' arrival after 8pm, could the rooms be warmed up before arrival. The room was cold, but the aircon did work and heated the room relatively quickly.
- Molatelo (10/5): Perfect Stay - Great Location fit for our purpose. We went to the nearby Church. Me & my mom loved the rooms. Warm, beds fitted with, electric bankets. There is a park close by for afternoon walks. Breakfast was superb. Fresh mushrooms. Air-conditioners sound from the other rooms making noise. Guests must be advised to switch off Air conditioning after 22:00pm. The rooms are warm enough with electric blankets.
- Prowl (10/5): We would definitely come back if on that side of town. - The breakfast was great. Great location. fabulous clean rooms. Please serve the breakfast on heated plates. As it is winter the food gets cold so fast.
- Monja (8/5): Very good -
- Willem (10/5): Lovely stay - Super cllean,very neat, safe area, lovely rooms. Would definitely recommend them. The gas geyser shower. I really struggled with it even after reading the instructions on the wall. Either cold or burning hot. Maybe just better lights on the pathway around the house at night. But other than these fantastic overall.
- Lerato (9/5): Superb -
- Volschenk (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jonathan (8/5): Great - would recommend and will look to stay again in the future - Location suited us perfectly as we were close to family and friends but also useful for Joburg airports and northern suburbs
- Lance (10/5): - The Vanilla Guesthouse location was extremely convenient The facilities were nice and clean and the staff were fantastic, taking care of us with excellent personally cooked breakfast We will definitely return on our next trip Thank you
- Nuhron (10/5): A lovely serene & comfortable home away from home with welcoming smiles. - Location was perfect for our purposes to visit certain businesses and family and friends. The setting was serene and well catered for our needs. Staff were pleasant and very accommodating with a request for vegetarian breakfast. Most amenities were available and very comfortable. One room had issues with the toilet cistern and that was addressed promptly. The only thing missing was hangers to hang clothing - that can be resolved with ease - thankfully we didn't really need hangers on this trip since we were not attending a wedding or formal functions.
- Malyon (10/5): So glad we found this absolute GEM! - Serene, beautiful property! Rooms were spacious, clean and had all necessary amenities. We will definitely be staying here again. Breakfast was delicious as well. Staff was kind and extremely helpful. Property is located in safe secure area, and well monitored. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay! Thank you

- Mathuba (9/5): Superb -
- Oosthuizen (9/5): Superb -
- Ngulube (8/5): Place is modern, beautiful, clean, peaceful. Great access to Netflix though WiFi had glitches - Breakfast was good though the menu on offer needs more variety if someone is staying longer eg include crossaints, muffins, crepes every other day. Location was in a safe neighborhood though one needs transport to go to any of the shops. Pleasant and discreet staff. Owner was responsive to all emails in good time. Flexible with check out times. Had good aircon, nice little fridge provided in rooms. Travelled with a baby hence the room needed a frequent touch up - no mops left nearby, regular linen change when spilt, move up breakfast time to 1000hrs for guests who are on holiday and trying to relax.
