Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. And that is all.

The place doesn't look like the pictures inside. It is smelly. The fan was not working and tied up with a cable tie into a bulk. The tV remote doesn't work. TV too high to change channels. Bathroom you must be so careful everything is loose. Thanks, but no thanks. I have stayed at a lot of places same price. 80% better. No glasses only 1 teaspoon. And the reception area? Come on, really?

Teleurgesteld in die betrokke gastehuis.

Ek het 2 kamers bespreek, een dubbel kamer en een kamer vir 3 persone. Met aankoms het die dame vir ons 2 kamers gegee met dubbelbeddens. Ek het verduidelik dat dit nie reg is nie en die een kamer moet 3 persone kan vat (die 2 kamers is dieselfde en die prys verskil was R300). Daarna het hul 'n ekstra bed aangebied teen R450, ek het geweier om dit te betaal en vir hul die verblyfbevestiging gewys. Na nog 'n gesukkel het hul ons na ander kamers sonder badkamers geneem en ons moet met ander mense 'n badkamer deel, weereens het ek genoem dat ek reeds vir kamers met en suite-badkamers betaal het. Nadat ek die eienaar se nr. kon kry en telefonies met haar gepraat het en my ongelukkigheid uitgepspreek het, kon hul die situasie reg stel - met ongelukkigheid aan beide kante. Indien die gastehuis vol bespreek was, sou dit 'n dilema afgegee het. Indien die gastehuis vol bespreek was sou daar nie genoeg parkering binne die perseel gewees het vir al die voertuie nie. Die mense wat daar was, moes mekaar vas parkeer net om die voertuie in die perseel te kon kry vir die nag.

Disappointed in the guest house in question.

I booked 2 rooms, one double room and one room for 3 persons. On arrival the lady gave us 2 rooms with double beds. I explained that this is not right and the one room must be able to take 3 people (the 2 rooms are the same and the price difference was R300). After that they offered an extra bed for R450, I refused to pay it and showed them the accommodation confirmation. After another struggle they took us to other rooms without bathrooms and we have to share a bathroom with other people, again I mentioned that I already paid for rooms with en suite bathrooms. After I got the owner's no. could get and spoke to her on the phone and expressed my unhappiness, they were able to rectify the situation - with unhappiness on both sides. If the guest house was fully booked, it would have presented a dilemma. If the guest house was fully booked there would not have been enough parking within the premises for all the vehicles. The people who were there had to park each other just to get the vehicles in the premises for the night.

Gemaklik.

Ons was baie vriendelik deur Ivy ontvang. Kamer was netjies. Dit was gerieflik geleë naby Nasrec-sentrum waar ons funksie was. Het Sondag-oggend 'n heerlik vullende ontbyt geniet. Sal beslis weer daar oornag.

Uiters teleurstellend.

Die verblyf was vuil. Rotte in die kamer. Bedlampie se skerm geskeur. Beddens wankelrig. Kussings knopperig en geskeur. Matrasse uitgedien. Lakens vuil. Nie genoeg handdoeke en toiletpapier nie. Ontbyt swak voorberei. Kos swak gehalte en nie genoeg vir die hoeveelheid mense wat daar gebly het nie. Sout en peper houers vuil en taai. Nie genoeg tafels en stoele in die eetkamer vir al die gaste nie. Ontvangs vuil en baie onvriendelik. Net belanggestel in ons geld wat ons dadelik moes betaal het toe ons aangekom het. Het vir die volgende 3 dae nie weer die bestuur gesien nie. Ons voel dat Gold Reef Place Guest House nie op die webtuiste se lys van verblyf moet wees nie. Dit doen julle naam skade aan. Hulle adverteer dat hulle 'n 3 ster-verblyf is, maar is nie eens 1 ster werd nie. Ons het min betaal ver die verblyf, maar verwag tenminste skoon en netjiese verblyf. Kry hulle van julle boeke af. Die ander gaste was ook baie ontevrede. Almal was dit eens met hulle eie ondervinding.

Extremely disappointing.

The accommodation was dirty. Rats in the room. Bedside lamp screen torn. Beds wobbly. Cushions lumpy and torn. Mattresses obsolete. Sheets dirty. Not enough towels and toilet paper. Breakfast poorly prepared. Food poor quality and not enough for the amount of people staying there. Salt and pepper containers dirty and sticky. Not enough tables and chairs in the dining room for all the guests. Reception dirty and very unfriendly. Only interested in our money which we should have paid immediately when we arrived. Didn't see management again for the next 3 days. We feel that Gold Reef Place Guest House should not be on the website's list of accommodation. It damages your name. They advertise that they are a 3 star accommodation but are not even worth 1 star. We paid little for the accommodation, but at least expect clean and tidy accommodation. Get them off your books. The other guests were also very dissatisfied. Everyone agreed with their own experience.

Kamers bietjie klein maar netjies en skoon.

Ons het een aand hier gebly om 'n konsert by Soccer City by te woon. Die kamer was baie klein maar goed toegerus met 'n yskas, TV en waaier. Netjies en skoon en mooi beddegoed en gemaklike bed. Ligging is naby aan Soccer City en die erf is veilig.

Everything was in order, I however think they should invest in the beds. The least that a person needs is a comfortable bed, not just a bed.

Nothing bad to say. Except for the uncomfortable bed all was well.

Well what can i say about this place? It's not bad. The people are just very unprofessional! I booked 4 outside rooms for my family and some friends, but when i got there they wanted to accommodate us in a house. So i was quoted for something that i didn't get. We had to drive back to the Free State that same night, after the One Direction show.

Great accommodation and friendly staff

We loved the fact that the venue was close to Gold Reef City and accessible to many other places we wanted to visit. It was a pity that there was a large group of men staying at the accommodation who felt the need to drink and make a lot of noise until the early hours of the morning. Our room joined theirs and the noise could be heard through the walls which means privacy was an issue. But the staff were super friendly, and they made a great breakfast. The room was clean and all our winter requirements were met. Thank you!!
