Don't stay at this place - needs attention. Stay in another hotel / place.

We stayed at the Happy Home Woodstock this December and we had booked 2 rooms. We were contacted by the host, and they were amazing in their approach and customer care. They welcomed us and showed us the keys, TV remotes, gates, etc. The rooms were neat and clean; however, the furniture in the rooms is old and of low quality. The beds were okay, but the windows did not lock or close. The kitchen is a disaster. The microwave is rusted (I have pictures), the fridge was frozen solid with ice, going back to the ice age. The stove was sticky, and my wife and I never went into the kitchen after our first few minutes. The area is noisy as it's not far from a main road, and we were promptly awoken by minibus taxis from 5:30, and the screams of the taxi conductor "Cape Town, Cape Town", and who can forget the hooting. There are people wandering opposite and then congregating in the evening to drink and argue. We noticed people sitting at the entrance to the house, and this made my wife extremely uncomfortable as the front door does not lock. I would never stay there ever again. It was rather late that we made bookings for Dec 2023, but for 2024, I will stay away from this place. The host was extremely friendly and assisted with the TV channels, etc., when I called them, and they came out and swapped out the unit. They were there to clean up and made every effort to comfort us. However, it was not enough, and we regret the stay and decided to leave early and stay in a group hotel for the remaining days in CPT.

Ons het die plek net vir oorslaap gebruik teen billike tariewe.

Die verblyf was baie oud, binne was skoon, die braai area was nie skoongemaak nie, so ons kon nie braai nie. Dis goed genoeg as jy net wil slaap vir die aand.

We used the place only for overnight stay at reasonable rates.

The accommodation was very old, inside was clean, the braai area was not cleaned, so we could not braai. It's good enough if you just want to sleep for the night.

Very pleasant stay.

Happy Home Woodstock is nice and cosy and situated in close proximity to Cape Town CBD. It served our needs perfectly as our belongings were secured while we explored the city. Sindi was very helpful and friendly. The parking is secure and the unit is also well secured. Although the unit needs some upgrades, we would definitely return and recommend Happy Home Woodstock.

Lekker en veilig.

Die diens was van 'n baie hoë gehalte. Dit is ideaal vir die wat 'n plek soek om hulle goedjies te los voor hulle Kaapstad wil gaan verken. Die area is bietjie oud, maar baie mooi. Dink net die wifi password moet aangevra word, want dit word nie net gegee nie.

Nice and safe.

The service was of a very high quality. It is ideal for those looking for a place to leave their belongings before exploring Cape Town. The area is a bit old, but very nice. Just think the wifi password must be requested, because it is not just given.

Reasonably acceptable.

Negative points: The guest house was not reachable on the cell number supplied when I wanted to make enquiries before we stayed there, and they did not reply on my voice message. The rooms were not very clean, especially the shower (and then they charge you R100 extra for cleaning!). We suspect the cleaning lady was on holiday. There were also no towels and soap, and the linen was suspect. No TV in rooms, only in the lounge. Positive points: the place was in walking distance from Groote Schuur Hospital, where we had to go. Quiet and safe circumstances. Wi-Fi available. The receptionist was there to welcome us when we arrived, and was supportive to recommended alternative, cheaper transport.

Thank you for your feedback. We agree that the vagrants were a big issue - a problem which increased in velocity as a result of the pandemic. We worked closely with the authorities, and we are pleased to say that the situation is much better and in our opinion the best it was in years.

Bed linen dirty and had to pay extra money without pre-arranged reasons.

The stay was not good at all. The place was not clean or spacious. Bedding was dirty. They were painting and had to go to the doctor. Had to pay extra for cleaning services.

Could have been better!

Cool location and loved that we had the whole house to ourselves. And loved that the place had a fully equipped kitchen and had DStv (although we were out and about most of the day) and although we were only suppose to book in at 2, Happy Home was accommodating by allowing us to drop our luggage off earlier. Unfortunately the fridge and microwave was not clean and the place had roaches and there was a funny smell in the kitchen was a bit of let down.

Thank you for your feedback, we highly appreciate that. We have recently had a new kitchen fitted, and done pest control in the house. We are convinced that these problems that you so kindly pointed out have been rectified and our future customers will be more comfortable in the property.

Omgewing ongeskik vir verblyf.

Een kamer wat met twee ander gaste gedeel word in een huis is nie geskik vir enige gesin nie. Deel badkamer en kombuis en sitvertrek met TV met goedkoopste kanale. Ek het net een dag van my twee dae vertoef.

One room being shared by two other guests in one house is not suitable for any family. The bathroom, kitchen and the lounge area is shared with a TV with the cheapest channels. I only stayed one of my two days.

Happy Home Woodstock 's response

Beste Piet,

Baie dankie vir u terugvoer.

Ons stem nie heeltemal saam met u resensie nie, maar ons het wel kennis geneem dat die kamer wat u bespreek het dalk opgegradeer moet word, en dit is iets waaraan ons nou aandag skenk.

Die wooneenheid deel geriewe soos 'n sitkamer en kombuis en 2 van die slaapkamers deel 'n badkamer. Hierdie ongerief word opgemaak in ons pryse. Ons is trots daarop dat ons pryse baie laag is, en dat ons 'n goeie gehalte verblyf verkoop in 'n gesogte area van die Kaap.

Ons verstaan wel dat hierdie wooneenheid nie aanloklik is vir alle soorte gaste nie en ons sal ons profiel aanpas om dit duideliker te maak dat somige geriewe gedeel word met ander gaste. Met dit in ag genome, wil ons graag voorstel dat u op 'n volgende geleentheid meer aandag skenk aan die besonderhede op die profiel van 'n instansie wat u will besoek om seker te wees dat dit wel iets is wat u behoeftes pas.

Ons wil dit graag duidelik stel dat ons nooit verskillende gaste in een kamer sal plaas nie, en dat u terugvoer hierop baie misleidend mag wees vir toekomstige gaste. As u dit onder ons aandag gebring het dat u ongelukkig was toe u die sleutels oorhandig het, sou ons 'n plan gemaak het om u geld terug te gee vir die aand wat u nie daar geslaap het nie. Instede daarvan, het u ons geprys en gesê dat die verblyf baie lekker was. Volgens die ander gaste wat daar vertoef het op dieselfde aand het u die aand baie geniet en tot laat gesit en kuier. Vir daardie rede was ons baie verbaas deur u negatiewe terugvoer.

Weereens dankie dat u hierdie besonderhede gedeel het met ons sodat ons 'n beter diens kan lewer aan ander gaste in die toekoms.

Vriendelike Groete,
Luke en Margo
