Thank you for my stay - a basic, pleasant, very clean establishment.

No problems at all. A suggestion: maybe the breakfast could be varied like a scrambled egg on toast, mince on toast or some baked beans instead of bacon and fried eggs every day.

Persoon wat ons ontvang het, was baie vriedelik en behulpsaam, maar moes eers alles met Chris gaan bevestig het.

Stort se vloer baie seperig. Dak in ingang van ons kamer het gelek. Geen melk voorsien en die tee was oud en onbruikbaar. Geen muurproppe wat voorsiening maak vir telefoonlaaiers nie.

Person who received us was very peaceful and helpful, but should have confirmed everything with Chris first.

Shower floor very soapy. Roof in entrance of our room was leaking. No milk provided and the tea was old and unusable. No wall plugs that cater for phone chargers.

Convenient.

Please improve on your customer service, the idea of not changing bedding and cleaning customer rooms every day is an extreme turn-off.

The rooms are cleaned every day. Bedding is not changed every day unless required. This is standard practice at all hotels.

Alles was in plek toe ons arriveer.

Ons het lekker gebly in 'n gerieflike kamer. Chris was baie behulpsaam met vervoer vanaf lughawe na gastehuis asook volgende oggend met vervoer na die hawe. Die winkelsentrum naby is 'n bonus en ons het 'n heerlike middag daar deurgebring.

Sommersby B&B is very safe accommodation, I can it give a 3 star.

What I loved most was the staff, they are well trained and very hospitable, their breakfast is wholesome, I only saw the owner once but I must credit him for well mannered, ready to help staff. The venue is clean and quiet, there's a shopping complex across the street, what a convenience! I'll definitely use them again, thank you.

Great central location for Comrades - Chris the owners went out of his way to ensure our stay was great. He was very helpful.

Chris even woke up at 4:40 to walk myself and Ingrid to the shuttle service. He waited with us until the shuttle arrived. This was really going beyond the call of duty.

It was OK.

It was nice and clean. However, some of the light fittings did not have bulbs, in the sleep area and the bathroom. On Saturday morning I did not have warm water to shower, in fact, there was no water coming out of the warm water tap. The breakfast was okay, but a bit oily. In general, however, okay.

Sommersby Bed & Breakfast 's response

Hi Erica. Thanks for taking time to review us.
The water is out of our control I'm afraid. It is cut down to literally a dribble overnight by while the powers that be repair the pipes upstream. This has been going on for quite a while and affects all of greater Durban as it's the main reservoir feed.
It's normally turned up to full flow well before 6 am so I'm guessing you were up and about before the plumbers.
As for the bulbs - the light fittings you mentioned are in the communal area's. This is a conscious decision my part as the light-fan fittings are of an old design and have 4 bulbs - in this day and age of energy awareness I decided that all 4 were not required and were a waste of electricity, so couple in each provides adequate light. The one in your bathroom has been sorted and was an oversight on our part, my apologies.
I will address the breakfast point with my staff.
Thanks

Stay was disappointing. Definitely not worth 3 stars.

The cleanliness and general feel was disappointing. Tablecloths in dining area were dirty and stained. Sugar pot lid without handle and sugar full of lumps. No jam unless asked for. Dining room full of items that don't belong there, e.g. ironing board Bedspread dirty and full of stains. No chair and/or table in room at which to sit (work). "Strange guests" observed on premises with other guest.

Chris and his staff were very helpful.

Everything was perfect except the other guests that were very noisy early in the morning and very late at night and their comments when we greeted them. If Chris can make another rule for noise, specifically because we were there to relax away from home, things would improve. We came all the way from Johannesburg and just because of those guests we felt we are not welcome there at all.

Many thanks for your kind words and for choosing to stay here at Sommersby. You are always very welcome here.
We do occasionally have a problem with noise when larger groups book in together and though it's very difficult to quieten people down, we will certainly try our best, especially early in the morning and later in the evening.
I will also get some notices made up asking guests to respect others and keep the noise levels down.

Dis beslis voldoende vir 1 tot 2 aande se verblyf, maar nie langer nie.

Daar was geen verduidelikheid oor hoe die oggend ontbytsessies werk, en wat beskikbaar was nie. Daar was geen ketel of yskassie in die eenheid nie. Die badkamer spieël moes verwyder word om in 'n ander vertrek gebruik te word vir my vrou se doeleindes - haardroër. Dit is baie basiese dinge wat mens as standaard sal verwag.

It is certainly sufficient for 1 to 2 nights' stay, but not longer.

There was no explanation about how the morning breakfast sessions worked, and what was available. There was no kettle or small fridge in the unit. The bathroom mirror had to be removed to be used in another room for my wife's purposes - hair dryer. These are very basic things that one would expect as standard.

Nooit weer nie!

Parkeerplek is onvoldoende. Te min parkeerplek vir aantal kamers. Moes 2 keer in die middel van die nag die voertuig rondskuif sodat ander gaste kon uitkom. Personeel is onvriendelik en nors. Personeellid wat ontbyt voorberei was siek en hoeserig, daarom het ons slegs 1 uit 5 oggende ontbyt geëet. Beddegoed en handdoeke is oud en afgeleef.

Staff member who prepares breakfast was sick and coughing, so we only had breakfast 1 out of 5 mornings. Bedding and towels are old and shabby.

It is the perfect place for people who want simplicity.

Everything is a walking distance, the mall and restaurants. To drive to the beach side is a 10 min drive. The only inconvenience was the fact that on our arrival there was no water until late the next day and load shedding started from 4 am until 10 am. Other than that everything was super.

Dit was seker die swakste gastehuis waarin ons nog gebly het.

Die personeel was beleef en vriendelik, maar kon ons nie juis help met eetplekke of roetes na plekke waarheen ons wou gaan nie. Die ontvangs personeel het ons nie verwag nie, toe moes die eienaar eers gekontak word. Die bedliggie het nie gewerk nie. Die matras in kamer 2 is gedaan!

Very nice place to stay.

We have enjoyed our stay at Sommersby B&B, but we did not like the fact that breakfast finishes early at 09:00. The parking is also a problem when there is more guests. Other guests parked in the drive way, because of the limited space. I am unsure if it is always like that or it is only during December month. Lovely stay otherwise.

Thank you for making my stay worth while.

In room 4 the aircon was not working and they limit your breakfast. For example: I don't understand why they should give a person 2 slices of bread with 1 sausage. The fruit was not enough to cater to all the guests. I won't mind coming back again as long as you can improve on the few things that I've mentioned.

Very nice quite, clean (highlight) staff friendly you would want to stay longer.

On our arrival the staff was very friendly such a warm welcome we got. The room was very very clean one of my top highlights about my stay. Breakfast finishes too early though, as we missed it twice. The B&B had a very "old school" feel to it. The location is almost perfect as it's safe, quiet and next to a shopping centre. I wish we could have stayed longer. I'm "mos deff" coming back if there is space. What can I say, we loved our stay.

Great with a homely feeling. Chris was friendly and accommodating.

We enjoyed the freedom and access of the venue. It was convenient as we could walk to the shopping centre. We were disturbed by the fact that on the day of our departure the hot water ran out, however, this may have been caused by a large family using hot water too liberally, who had arrived on our day of departure.

Good value for money, accommodating staff,

Great home away from home atmosphere, with friendly staff and a safe, clean venue. I jogged to the beach from there almost every day. With a shopping centre just across the road, you have everything you need within reach. Just around the corner from Florida Road there is a range of eating places to cater for every taste. Try it!

'n Skoon bed om in te slaap en 'n ontbyt voordat ons vakansie begin het.

Dit het na ons basiese behoeftes omgesien. Die kamers was relatief skoon. Alhoewel, die loodgieterwerk het geraas en die kamer het erg na rook gestink. Ons het nooit die gasheer gewaar nie. Hul kan doen met 'n koffie-, tee- en waterstasie.

A clean bed to sleep in and a breakfast before our holiday started.

It took care of our basic needs. The rooms were relatively clean. Although, the plumbing was noisy and the room smelled badly of smoke. We never spotted the host. They could do with a coffee, tea and water station.

Vriendelike gasvrye ontvangs met goeie diens tydens ons verblyf.

Kamers was netjies en skoon. Ontbyt was heerlik. Dankie aan Chris en sy span wat ons tuis laat voel het. Ons sal graag weer daar bly as ons in Durban is.

Vir 'n naweek is dit goed genoeg.

Die B&B is in 'n baie praktiese plek geleë, loopafstand van die winkelsentrum en restaurante. Die enigste klag: die TV het probleme gegee.

Good stay with 2 minor improvements

I had a good stay, but must point out two areas of improvements: Breakfast: the juice was watered down far too much. The Room: I was in the front room but could not open the curtains as I would then have no privacy, so recommend that they put a net curtain or blind up, for privacy.

An open kitchen with a sports group was key to a successful stay!

Finding an open kitchen is a great plus when traveling with a sports group. Being within walking distance of the supermarket and stadiums was super. Staff friendly and Chris was a great help with documents!
