Bed needs to be replaced and there was just about no cold water.

The bed was concaved and uncomfortable, kept on gravitating to the center of the bed.

Not satisfied.

1) Had to inform reception TV and bedside lamp not working upon arrival. 2) No breakfast available unless party of five. 3) Unbearable noise from staff at 5:00am in the morning. 4)Towels big enough to dry a small dog. 5) Advertise Wi-Fi but only available in main building not in rooms. Pretty obvious this establishment has no attention to detail!

Lovely and safe.

The guesthouse is located in a lovely area, very safe. The room we were in was a little to small for my partner and I but it's a lovely guesthouse. The pool was very inviting. Thank you.

Nie wat ek verwag het nie.

Daar was geen handdoeke in die kamer nie. Diens was nie te wat wonders nie. Glad nie wat ek verwag het nie. Sal dit vir seker nie as een van die webtuiste se plekke beskou nie.

Not what I expected.

There were no towels in the room. Service was nothing short of amazing. Not what I expected at all. Definitely wouldn't consider it one of the site's locations.

Safe area to stay.

The rooms can be fitted with bar fridges.The receptionist was very unfriendly. The braai area can be upgraded because we pay R150 to use it and it's in a poor pathetic state. Proper braai utensils must be supplied from Ecotel.

Voldoende vir slaapplek vir een aand.

Die ontvangs was nie baie vriendelik nie. Sleutel in die hand gestop en gesê dis op die boonste vloer. Geen aanwysings. Het nie gesê hoe ingang/uitgang werk nie. Ons moes dit self uitwerk. Kamers was skoon en netjies, maar instandhouding lyk of dit agterweë gelaat word. Ander gaste het dwarsdeur die nag geraas op die stoepe en in die kamer langsaan. Ek kan nie hierdie plek vir enige iemand aanbeveel nie.

Sufficient for sleeping accommodation for one night.

The reception was not very friendly. Key in hand stuffed and told it's on the top floor. No directions. Didn't say how entry/exit works. We had to work it out ourselves. Rooms were clean and tidy, but maintenance seems to be neglected. Other guests made noise throughout the night on the porches and in the room next door. I cannot recommend this place to anyone.

Teleurstellend.

Vir 3 nagte was daar geen warm water. Aand 3 was daar geen water en geen elektrisiteit. Die ontbyt is ook nie waarde vir geld nie. Die kamers en omgewing is wel in 'n uitstekende toestand en baie skoon.

Disappointing.

For 3 nights there was no hot water. Night 3 there was no water and no electricity. The breakfast is also not value for money. The rooms and surroundings are indeed in excellent condition and very clean.

Thank you for the hospitality, great service and clean comfortable rooms. We had a lovely stay until the the drunken guests booked in Saturday and started partying, screaming until 02h30 in the morning. You really need to get these guests under control, bottles in the pool the next morning, weaves lying around, Grandpa powder papers everywhere and when we checked out on Sunday morning they were lying fast asleep in their rooms, go figure. Otherwise 5 star service - thanks!

Netjies maar raserig.

Die verblyf was netjies en voldoende vir 1 aand se verblyf, maar ongelukkig was daar gaste wat hul nie aan reëls gesteur het nie. Daar het gaste by die swembad gekuier en hulle was raserig tot na 12 uur in die nag. Ek moes die ontvangs telkemale bel om hulle stil te maak, maar dit het nie eers gehelp nie.

Neat but noisy.

The accommodation was neat and sufficient for 1 night's stay, but unfortunately there were guests who did not pay attention to rules. There were guests visiting the pool and they were noisy until after 12 o'clock at night. I had to call the reception several times to get them to shut up, but that didn't even help.

Goeie ligging - nie noodwendig verwelkomend nie.

Die verwelkomingspersoneel was nie baie vriendelik nie. Ons is na 'n kamer geneem, maar die persoon het nie eers seker gemaak dat ons weet hoe die sleutels werk nie. (Die kaartslotte werk nie en die deure sluit teen 'n snaakse helling oop - glad nie soos normale voordeure nie.) Die A/C was op 32 grade gesit - hopeloos te warm. Die een venster in die badkamer kon nie behoorlik toemaak nie wat 'n koue trek in die kamer veroorsaak het. Daar was 2 koffiebekers, maar net 1 glas in 'n kamer vir 2 mense. Die hangkas is geweldig klein en nie groot genoeg vir 2 mense se klere nie, veral omdat die komberse ook daar gestoor word en plek opneem. Daar was geen seep of shampoo nie - iets wat 'n lodge/hotel gewoonlik in kleinmaat verskaf. Slegs handewasseep. Daar was geen ekstra toiletpapier nie - jy moet wag vir room service. Die duvet was ook nie ordentlik opgemaak nie. Ons moes dit self verder in die oortreksel sit aangesien dit uitgehang het. Alles is wel aan die dagpersoneel gerapporteer. Ons het laataand ingebook en die liggies aan die kant van die trappe wat lei na die tweede verdieping het nie gewerk nie. Dit kan dit moeilik maak vir mense wat sukkel om in die aand te sien waar om te loop. Die ligging is goed en naby lekker restaurante.

Good location - not necessarily welcoming.

The welcome staff was not very friendly. We were taken to a room but the person didn't even make sure we knew how the keys worked. (The card locks don't work and the doors open at a funny angle - not at all like normal front doors.) The A/C was set to 32 degrees - hopelessly hot. The one window in the bathroom could not close properly which caused a cold draft in the room. There were 2 coffee mugs but only 1 glass in a room for 2 people. The hanging closet is extremely small and not big enough for 2 people's clothes, especially because the blankets are also stored there and take up space. There was no soap or shampoo - something that a lodge/hotel usually provides in small quantities. Hand soap only. There was no extra toilet paper - you have to wait for room service. The duvet was also not properly made up. We had to put it further into the cover ourselves as it hung out. Everything was reported to the day staff. We booked in late at night and the lights on the side of the stairs leading to the second floor were not working. This can make it difficult for people who have trouble seeing where to walk at night. The location is good and close to nice restaurants.

Netjiese, gemaklike verblyf wat nog ag slaan op hulpvaardigheid.

Ons behoefte was een nag bekostigbare oorslaap op skoon wit linne, met koffie en tee in kamer naby Oliver Tambo Lughawe. Ons het gekry wat ons gehoop het en sal hulle aanbeveel vir persone met soortgelyke behoeftes.

Neat, comfortable accommodation that still pays attention to helpfulness.

All we needed was one affordable night with clean, white linen, coffee and tea in the room, close to Oliver Tambo Airport. We got what we hoped for and would recommend them to people with similar needs.

Acceptable for a short stay.

Our biggest problem was 3 rooms of unruly, loud, and inconsiderate guests, making noise past 1:30 am and then again at 6:30 am. Despite our reporting of them the noise continued. The apartments needed some handyman attention: Toweling rack was loose and fell off. Basin tap sprayed out at the slightest opening thereof, drain pipe under basin leaking profusely, underneath of toilet seat was disintegrating, no handles on sliding door to bathroom. When we arrived back at midnight after a night out, the gate was wide open - anyone could have walked in!

Not really, we had to pay for things not paid at other B&B.

No kettle and cups in the room. Had to pay for cup of tea which I enjoy lastly at night and first in the morning. Also had to pay for breakfast. Otherwise, its beautiful.

Verblyf was aangenaam.

Ecotel is bekostigbaar, skoon en veilig. Ek sal wel wil voorstel om 'n koffietjie in die kamer te los vir die oggend wanneer jy wakker word om te drink terwyl jy besig is om reg te maak vir ontbyt.
