Baie baie swak.

By aankoms moes ek die eienaar skakel, kon nie ingang kry nie. Die ingang na die onderdak parkering was uiters sleg omdat die pad versper was met 'n konstruksievoertuig. Die plek is vuil en ek het weer besef dat die foto's misleidend is. Die gebou binne stink en die mure is vuil. Daar is geen lugversorging nie en die wagwoord vir die gratis WiFi is nie bekend of gegee nie. Daar is nêrens in die kamertjie 'n neersitplek vir klere of tasse nie. Die koffie en ketel staan op die bedkassie langs die bed ingedruk. Die water in die stort is so swak dat jy moet ronddans om nat te word of om jou af te spoel. Een uur in die nag moes ek die eienaar bel en hom vra om die mense wat nie daar ingeboek was nie en wat sleutels het om die veiligheidshekke oop te sluit, stil te maak. Hulle het musiek in die sitkamer gemaak, gelag en gepraat terwyl die drank gevloei het. En dit alles 30 meter van my slaapkamerdeur af. Ek het 'n klankopname gemaak van hoe dit gegaan het terwyl ek betaal vir 'n veilige en rustige nagrus. Die eienaar het geen verskoning aangebied nie of die volgende oggend die sleutel in ontvangs teruggegee nie. Dit lyk asof hy weggekruip het.

Very very weak.

On arrival I had to call the owner, couldn't get in. The entrance to the covered parking was extremely bad because the road was blocked with a construction vehicle. The place is dirty and I realized again that the pictures are misleading. The building inside stinks and the walls are dirty. There is no air conditioning and the password for the free WiFi is not known or given. There is nowhere in the small room a place to put down clothes or bags. The coffee and kettle are tucked on the bedside table next to the bed. The water in the shower is so weak that you have to dance around to get wet or to rinse yourself off. One hour in the night I had to call the owner and ask him to silence the people who were not checked in and who had keys to unlock the security gates. They made music in the living room, laughed and talked while the drinks flowed. And all this 30 meters from my bedroom door. I made an audio recording of how it went while paying for a safe and peaceful night's rest. The owner did not offer an apology or return the key in reception the next morning. He seems to have gone into hiding.

They were very accommodating in terms of our needs.

We do appreciate the extra effort. The location was perfect because we had an event at the Victoria Hall for the elderly. We are 2 social workers with the company car and were concerned about the safety of parking, but the parking was perfect. We had access to our room even though we had to stay out late.

'n Goeie oorstop om te rus en te verfris in die Overberg.

Dis baie sentraal geleë in Caledon, met die voordeel dat jy naby eetplekke en winkels is, maar ook die nadeel van raserige mense rondom jou. Daars 'n heerlik verfrissende swembad en die 'n pragtige atmosfeer van Griekeland, van ontspan en gemeenskaplikheid.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

A good stopover to rest and refresh in the Overberg.

It's very centrally located in Caledon, with the advantage of being close to eateries and shops, but also the disadvantage of noisy people around you. There is a deliciously refreshing swimming pool and the beautiful atmosphere of Greece, of relaxation and community.

Skoon, netjies en anders. Vriendelike mense wat ons verwelkom het.

Dit is 'n baie netjiese plek met 'n aangename gevoel. Die toilet in ons kamer was egter los en as jy nie die toilet vasgesit het nie, kon hy onder jou uit beweeg. Die persoon wat op die bed lê kyk ook vir jou terwyl jy stort en dit is 'n vreemde gevoel. Oor die algemeen was dit die geld werd. Plek is andersins in 'n mooi toestand vir 'n ou gebou.

Clean, neat and different. Friendly people who welcomed us.

It is a very neat place with a pleasant feel. However, the toilet in our room was loose and if you didn't secure the toilet, it could move out from under you. The person lying on the bed is also watching you while you shower and it's a strange feeling. Overall it was worth the money. Place is otherwise in nice condition for an old building.

Baie onveilig gevoel. Ontbyt was ingesluit maar my eetlus was skoon weg. Net 'n buite plek om te eet met stormwinde...yskoud. Ek kon nie wag om weg te kom nie. Ander jonger meisie wat daar oorgebly het was net so bang. Haar vriende moes saam met haar tot by haar kamer loop en dis nie lekker nie.

In lig van tarief, het gerieflike bed met skoon beddegoed en handdoeke vergoed vir die swak higiëne en netheid in eetkamer asook publieke areas.

Higiëne en netheid in die eetkamer asook publieke areas laat veel te wense oor. Plekmatjies en tafeldoek nie skoon of geruil tydens verblyf. Beddegoed en handdoeke was wel skoon. Kamers is baie kompak en nie ingerig vir sakereis nie - geen skootrekenaar-werkgeriewe. Prys inaggenome, is dit wel geskik as oornag-eenheid vir die vakansieganger met veilige parkering.

In light of rate, comfortable bed with clean bed linen and towels compensated for the poor hygiene and cleanliness in dining room as well as public areas.

Hygiene and cleanliness in the dining room as well as public areas leave much to be desired. Place mats and tablecloth not cleaned or changed during stay. Bed linen and towels were clean. Rooms are very compact and not set up for business travel - no laptop work facilities. Price wise, it is suitable as an overnight unit for the holidaymaker with secure parking.

Baie lekker.

Dis 'n lieflike plek met 'n gawe bestuurder. Jou voertuig is veilig onderdak en agter 'n elektriese deur. Die dekor is baie mooi. Ontbyt was heerlik! Daar is 'n paneelverwarmer in die kamer wat dit baie gesellig maak. Die enigste negatiewe punt was dat daar nie warm water was nie. Die water was slegs effe lou.

Very nice.

It is a lovely place with a very nice manager. Your vehicle is safe in covered parking and behind an electric door. The decor is very beautiful. The breakfast was delicious. There was a panel heater in the room, which made it very cosy. The only negative point was that we didn't have hot water. The water was just lukewarm.

The place looked very good in the photos. Was looking forward to a Greek dinner but couldn't find dinner there. The breakfast was included and good.

The accommodation was nowhere close to advertisement, no DStv and WiFi almost non existent.

What a disappointment, can't remember when last I felt so cheated. Totally antiquated and cramped. The pics definitely are a few years old.

Athenian Villa was perfect for a night's stay after a wedding.

Athenian Villa offered us what we were looking for. The breakfast was delicious and the parking very safe. Unfortunately our shower head couldn't move and we were the first room down the hall - so it was very noisy.

Verblyf was aangenaam.

Daar is slegs een klein negatiewe kommentaar en dit is dat die gasheer mens ongemaklik maak terwyl jy ontbyt eet aangesien hy vir mens kyk. Die plek doen gestand aan sy naam en alhoewel dit 'n ou plek is, is dit skoon en gemaklik. Ons het dit vreeslik geniet en sal weer daarheen gaan indien ons weer in daardie rigting reis. Dankie vir jul vriendelike en wonderlike hulp.

Accommodation was pleasant.

There is only one negative aspect and that is that the owner makes one uncomfortable while you are eating breakfast because he looks at you. The place lives up to its name even though it is an old place, it is clean and comfortable. We enjoyed it very much and will go back when we go that way again. Thank you for the friendly and wonderful help.

Waarde vir geld.

Lekker plek om te bly en waarde vir geld. Geleë in die middel van die dorpie en persoon is taamlik gebonde tot gastehuis self omdat Caledon nie baie restaurante en/of pubs het nie. Sal wel Athenian Villa aanbeveel vir die nie-kieskeurige reisiger.

Value for money.

A nice place to stay and good value for money. Located in the middle of the town. One is quite bound to the guesthouse since Caledon doesn't have much in the way of restaurants and/or pubs. However I would recommend Athenian Villa for a traveller who's not too picky.

True reflection of what I saw on the net when I made the booking.

Place is ideal for an overnight stay. Rooms a bit too small but neat and tidy. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Safe parking in a locked up area.

Teleurstellend.

Kamers klein en beknop met min pakplek. Storte en toilette ingedruk in kamer se hoeke. Toilette onwelriekend. Waaiers het min impak op hitte, en van die waaiers se lemme is aangepak en vol stof. Uitsig uit vensters is op 'n stegie en vuil geboue. Van die kamers het nie vensters nie. Is tussen winkels en besigheidsgeboue geleë. Matte en vloere? Lakens en handdoeke skoon.

Disappointing.

Rooms small and cramped with little storage space. Showers and toilets squeezed into room corners. Toilets smell bad. Fans have little impact on heat, and some of the fans' blades are worn and full of dust. View from windows is on an alley and dirty buildings. Some of the rooms do not have windows. Is located between shops and business buildings. Carpets and floors? Sheets and towels clean.

Athenian Villa 's response

Dear Elmarie,

We thank you for staying the two nights with us and it was a pleasure having you here.
We were very disappointed to read your comments on trip advisor. As far as the rooms being small that is out of our control as we are a historical building. We have tried to give our guests the advantage of en-suite bathrooms hence the small size of our rooms.
As far as the fan is concerned you were 100% correct, on inspection there was dust accumulation and this was due to the fan being very difficult to dismantle and our team must take the blame. We have however attended to this and thank you for bringing this to our attention.
We pride ourselves in the cleanliness of our establishment and our linen ( sheets, pillow cases etc.) which you did find to your satisfaction.

Best regards,
The ATHENIAN VILLA TEAM

A bit disappointing.

I actually feel bad writing a review. I think they try to make it pleasant but the room is very small with only a window above that could open. If the window was open, the pigeons that nested there bothered you quite a bit and the smell was unpleasant. The television's reception is very poor and the fan is noisy and there is only a trash can in the bathroom. There was no extra toilet paper. They did bring me a hair dryer as I asked. I have no idea what other guesthouses in town look like, so I can't really compare it to anything in the area. I'm sorry I can't give a positive review.

Disappointed.

Old plank floor building in town centre. Walls board thin and noise from early morning was very disturbing. You can even follow the story of the toilet next door. Breakfast was just a plate of hot food. There were no cereals, fruit and yogurt.

Griekse oase in die hartjie van Caledon se sakekern.

Athenian Villa is beslis 'n goeie keuse vir verblyf in Caledon. Alles is skoon en netjies, maar voel steeds huislik. Daar is tot 'n boekrak met boeke as jy joune vergeet of die Kindle se battery pap is. Billike pryse, fantastiese koffie saam met 'n heerlike ontbyt en 'n bestuurder wat sy werk sy trots maak. Niks is te veel moeite nie. Hy het tot sy persoonlike selfoon-laaier vir my geleen. Vriendelike diens in 'n pragtige villa. Gaan gerus soontoe.

Greek oasis in the heart of Caledon's business district.

Athenian Villa is definitely a good choice for accommodation in Caledon. Everything is clean and tidy, but still feels homely. There is even a bookshelf with books if you forget yours or the Kindle's battery is flat. Reasonable prices, fantastic coffee with a delicious breakfast and a manager who takes pride in his work. Nothing is too much trouble. He even lent me his personal cell phone charger. Friendly service in a beautiful villa. Feel free to go there.

Dit voel asof jy terug is op 'n Griekse eiland!

Carol het my baie vriendelik ontvang en regtig moeite gedoen om my te laat tuis voel. Die kamer was baie klein en ek glo nie twee persone sou daar vrylik kon beweeg nie! Ek neem aan dit is 'n kamer vir 'n enkelpersoon, veral omdat die stort in die kamer is! Alles was keurig, netjies en skoon. Ek het veilig gevoel. Die TV-ontvangs is ongelukkig nie goed nie, maar dit het my regtig nie gepla nie. Baie dankie aan Carol.

It feels like you're back on a Greek island!

Carol received me very kindly and really made an effort to make me feel at home. The room was very small and I don't believe two people could move freely in there! I'm assuming it's a single room, especially since the shower is in the room! Everything was neat, tidy and clean. I felt safe. The TV reception is unfortunately not good, but it really didn't bother me. Many thanks to Carol.
