Kalmerend.

Was baie rustig, rus vir moeë siel.

Perfect.

Perfect for what was needed on a busy weekend of water polo.

Lekker vir korttermyn verblyf.

Alhoewel die plekkie presies lyk soos die foto's en die kamer vreeslik lekker was, sal ek ongelukkig moet kla oor die omgewing rondom die kamer. As jy nie omgee oor 'n klomp mense buite jou venster/badkamer nie, sal hierdie meer as perfek vir jou wees! Maar ek het glad nie my gordyne vir 'n oomblik oopgemaak nie, dit het gevoel asof almal by my plekkie se skuifdeur inkyk.

Nice for short term stay.

Although the place looks exactly like the photos and the room was very nice, unfortunately I have to complain about the environment around the room. If you don't mind a bunch of people outside your window/bathroom, this will be more than perfect for you! But I didn't open my curtains at all for a moment, it felt like everyone was looking in through the sliding door of my place.

Het plek bespreek vir 2 aande sodat ons die skou kon geniet in Bloemfontein.

Was egter baie teleurgesteld met aankoms, moet oor n HOOP dekgras klim on bydie kluis uit tekom waar die sleutel gebere word. @14 Bains het ons die volgende befind. Bad nie gewas nie en vol hare en sand. Stort uiters vuil (swart mif). Bedegoed en kamer stink vandie rook. Het voorheen by Bains geslaap maar verseker nie weer by @14 nie.

Booked a place for 2 nights so we could enjoy the show in Bloemfontein.

However, was very disappointed on arrival, had to climb over a LOT of cover grass to get to the safe where the key is given. @14 Bains we found the following. Bath unwashed and full of hair and sand. Shower extremely dirty (black mif). Bedding and room stink from the smoke. Have slept at Bains before but certainly not @14 again.

Good

Basiese kamer, maar geen klagtes nie. Goed geslaap en was rustig. Aanbeveling: die braai-area is vêr van die kamers af. Sal voorstel dat daar nader geriewe kan wees.

Basic room but no complaints. Slept well and was peaceful. Recommendation: the braai area is far from the rooms. Would suggest that there may be closer facilities.

Frustrerend met aankoms en vertrek. Ontvangs weet nie van reëlings met betrekking tot sleutels vir eenheid nie.

Kamer vuil met papiere en ander voorwerpe agter bedkassies en ander meublement. Stortdreinering was verstop. Staan enkeldiep in afvoerwater. Stortkop ook verstop met sowat 3 straaltjies water wat spuit. Moet rondspring om nat te word. Ek het self gereedskap in my voertuig gaan haal om die dreinering te herstel en ook die stortkop afgehaal en al die verstopte gate geopen en teruggeskroef.

Frustrating with arrival and departure. Reception does not know of arrangements regarding unit keys.

Room dirty with papers and other objects behind bedside tables and other furniture. Shower drain was clogged. Stand ankle deep in drain water. Shower head also clogged with about 3 jets of water spraying. Have to jump around to get wet. I myself went to get tools in my vehicle to repair the drainage and also removed the shower head and opened and screwed back all the clogged holes.

Deon ons is jammer dit was jou ervaring. Dit kom egter as ‘n skok, want jy het geen van hierdie inligting aan ons gekommunikeer nie.

Okay, but not really pet friendly.

The unit was very clean and neat. However the parking is quite a bit away from the unit and it's cumbersome if you have to park your car overnight. The security told us it was not pet friendly until we showed him the communication with the booking agent.

Die plek is waarde vir geld vir 'n paar dae. Netjies en veilig.

Ons het die plek baie geniet. Dit is klein vir 'n gesin maar 'n mooi plek.

Cramped.

The room and the kitchen area are in one space and feel very cramped. The basin has a large crack in it. The shower needs a scrub. The positioning of the TV needs to be changed as the angle makes it impossible to watch. A very busy place.

Hi Jenny,
Thank you for staying with us and for your review.
As per our listing and photos, it is a bachelor unit thus the room consists of two single beds and a kitchenette, and of course our full separate bathroom. Since your visit, the basin has been replaced by a brand new one. Thanks for your suggestions.

'n Lekker restaurant, Red Oak, binne die terrein! Baie stil gebou, maar 'n kat dwaal rond en los mis op grasperk reg voor die deur.

Die kamer benodig 'n nuwe stortkop en stortdrein skoonmaak, 'n tweede stel badhanddoeke en badkamermat, potdeksel handvatsels, vadoeke, skottelgoedseep, en 'n tweede stoel. TV-opvangs en kanale kan verbeter word.

A nice restaurant, Red Oak, within the grounds! Very quiet building, but a cat wanders around and leaves droppings on lawn right in front of the door.

The room needs a new shower head and shower drain cleaning, a second set of bath towels and bathroom rug, pot lid handles, dish towels, dish soap, and a second chair. TV reception and channels can be improved.

Baie dankie dat julle by ons gebly het en vir die resensie! Daar is ten alle tye twee stelle handdoeke beskikbaar vir ons gaste aangesien die kamer 2 persone akkommodeer. Soos geadverteer is dit ‘n selfsorg-eenheid en word ‘n nuwe stel handdoeke nie elke dag voorsien en vervang nie. TV kanale is standaard en vorm deel van die DSTV bouquet soos ons aandui. Ons waardeer die voorstel van ‘n badmatjie en dit is intussen aangebring.

Ons is baie bly dat die eenheid lekker stil en privaat was. Die maklike en kontak-vrye self-incheck opsie word deur baie gaste verkies.

Nice to stay, but no longer than 4 nights.

It was strange to find only on arrival about the separate accommodation apart from the hotel. Went to the reception and they knew nothing about my booking and only after I showed them my booking they handed me the keys and I had to ask how to get there and still got directed wrong. It was advertised on the web that facilities at Bains has WiFi ─ there were none. Basin in bathroom was badly broken, mixer tap was not working properly, no adjustable shower head - as good as an open pipe. No working TV for first 2 days. Breakfast served in the hotel was definitely a big mistake: cold food, staff did not make an effort to make customers comfortable. Nearby tea gardens serve much better variety at similar pricing. After speaking to the owner, she attended to the majority of the problems and was always just a call away. On my arrival in Bloem, she was courteous to give me directions to Bains. Taking everything in one, I enjoyed the stay, but it would have been better if none of the above defaults were present. But have to commend the owner that she was available 24/7 and made a plan.
