Nie te baie gelukkig nie.

Ek, as 'n vrou alleen saam met 2 kinders, het deur gery vanaf Bloemfontein. Die area om die verblyf is vervalle, met 'n klomp mense wat op hoeke net sit of rond dwaal. Dit is 'n baie onveilige area. Toe ek arriveer het die man wat die hek oopgemaak het nie geweet wie ek is en dat ek geboek het om daar te bly nie. Ons moes buite wag in die onveilige area totdat hulle bel om te hoor of ek 'n plek bespreek het. Daar was gesê ek kan ontbyt byboek teen 'n ekstra bedrag, maar toe ek arriveer en ontbyt wil byboek, is daar met my gedeel dat hulle al lankal nie ontbyt bedien nie. Parkering is 'n groot probleem met baie min parkeerplek. Die personeel is vriendelik wanneer jy hulle kon opspoor. Ek is totaal en al 'n ander kamer gegee as wat ek bespreek het, sonder enige kommunikasie. Ek is 'n kwotasie gegee en later is daar bygevoeg dat ek nou nog 'n ekstra R3 moet betaal vir 'n derde persoon.

Not too happy.

I, as a woman alone with 2 children, drove through from Bloemfontein. The area around the accommodation is run down, with a lot of people just sitting on corners or wandering around. This is a very unsafe area. When I arrived the man who opened the gate did not know who I was and that I had booked to stay there. We had to wait outside in the unsafe area until they called to see if I had booked a place. I was told that I could add breakfast for an extra amount, but when I arrived and wanted to add breakfast, I was told that they had not served breakfast for a long time. Parking is a big problem with very little parking. The staff are friendly when you could locate them. I was given a completely different room than I booked, without any communication. I was given a quote and later it was added that I now have to pay an extra R3 for a third person.

Goeie verblyf, netjies en bekostigbaar.

Daar was 'n berekeningsfout tussen die webtuiste en House of York. Daar moet maar mooi gekyk word sodat kwotasies korrek deurgegee word aan die kliënt.

Oornagverblyf tydens atletiekbyeenkoms vir skole.

Ons het slegs oornag en het laat die aand arriveer en weer vroegoggend vertrek. Alles was skoon en gerieflik. Ek sou net vooraf inligting wou gehad het oor beurtkragskedules in die omgewing. Ons het skaars arriveer toe die duisternis onverwags toesak en dit was pikdonker in 'n vreemde plek. Ander verblyf besprekings het gerieflikheidshalwe die skedule vir die dag na hul gaste gestuur. Ek is ook gewoond dat by vorige verblyfplekke daar wel ten minste koffiesakkies en suiker vir die aantal gaste beskikbaar is. Ons het nie met koffie en suiker gereis nie en moes die volgende oggend rondskarrel om 'n plek te kry om koffie te koop. Ons het wel 'n aanname gemaak dat daar wel beskikbaar sou wees aangesien dit die norm is by meeste verblyf (al is dit selfversorgend). As plattelanders is ons nie gewoond aan die stad nie en die omgewing het ons baie onveilig laat voel. Buiten al hierdie was die verblyf netjies en het ons rustig geslaap. Die res van die kommunikasie was ook goed gewees.

Overnight accommodation during athletic event for schools.

We only stayed overnight and arrived late in the evening and left again early in the morning. Everything was clean and comfortable. I just would have liked information in advance about load shedding schedules in the area. We had barely arrived when darkness suddenly descended and it was pitch black in a strange place. Other accommodation bookings have sent the schedule for the day to their guests for convenience. I am also used to the fact that at previous accommodation there are at least coffee bags and sugar available for the number of guests. We didn't travel with coffee and sugar and had to scramble the next morning to find a place to buy coffee. We did make an assumption that there would be availability as this is the norm with most accommodation (even if it is self-catering). As rural people, we are not used to the city and the environment made us feel very unsafe. Apart from all this, the accommodation was neat and we slept peacefully. The rest of the communication had also been good.

A bit small. Little things can be done better.

Lots of ants in the room. Curtains dirty and do not cover the entire window. Lock on the sliding door does not close well, can be easily opened. The morning of we were moved from the booked unit in House of York to the one in Bedforview. Was further from where we wanted to be.

Prettig.

Gastvrije ontvangst in een prettige accommodatie. Geen centrale verwarming maar wel een gezellige open haard tegen de winterkoude in Johannesburg.

Baie skoon en goeie diens.

Die feit dat die Gastehuis in 'n ouer gedeelte van Kengsington geleë is, is dalk nie ideaal nie. Dit is egter baie netjies, skoon, gerieflik, veilig en slegs 1 km Eastgate Mall.

The fact that the Guest House is located in an older part of Kensington may not be ideal. However, it is very neat, clean, comfortable, safe and only 1 km from Eastgate Mall.

Awesome gastehuis met baie behulpsame eienaar en personeel.

Sal beslis enige dag hierdie eienaar se gastehuis aanbeveel. Vorige keer by House on Hill gebly en diens was ook uitstekend net soos nou. Baie sentraal geleë en baie veilig, skoon en netjies.
