Karibu Guest House - Johannesburg

Warm, fuzzy at home far away from home feel.

The place is amazing as advertised, very awesome and warm people. We were welcomed with great pleasure and treated with great hospitality. The food was amazing and they always on time. I woukd definitely go again and this time I'll take my daugther with me too.

Gasvryheid en voel soos jou eie huis.

Sal weer daar bly. Gasvryheid en die ligging is naby aan snelweë.

It is a quiet place if someone needs a peace of mind.

And the place is secured and they will take care of you at that place, felt at home.

Absoluut heerlik, perfekte gaspaar!

Die vriendelikste eienaars en personeel! Pragtige omgewing en huis! Baie dankie.

Rustige omgewing en vriendelike diens.

Baie dankie aan almal by Karibu Gastehuis - die verblyf was wonderlik.

Heerlike kos.

Ek en my ma het die plekkie baie geniet, ons was goed behandel. Die plekkie was asemrowend. Ons sal weer kom kuier.

Tuis

Baie lekker gebly. Dadelik tuis gevoel. Die ontbyt is baie lekker met Engela se tuisgemaakte konfyt. Sal enige tyd weer daar gaan bly.

Baie vriendelike gasvrou en helper, het dadelik tuis gevoel en hul kon nie ophou hulp aanbied nie.

Die atmosfeer en ontbyt was puik. Ons het baie lekker gekuier, kon die TV en swembad gebruik en het ons selfs gehelp met koffie ten alle tye. Alles was skoon en netjies. Sal dit beslis vir enigeen aanbeveel.

Uitstekende diens! Het die ekstra myl vir ons gegaan.

Karibu Guest House sal ons beslis weer sien. Jy voel tuis, home away from home. Ontbyt was baie lekker. 10 uit 10 vir hulle.

Moeite Werd

Baie dankie Engela vir jou gasvryheid en die ekstra myl wat jy vir ons gestap het. Sal verseker jou gastehuis aanbeveel.

Dis was amazing verby, dit was die lekkerste verblyf en het dit so baie geniet!

Engela is die beste hostess en ons het dit baie geniet, sal beslis weer daar tuisgaan! Sal die gastehuis baie aanbeveel.

Vriendelike gasvryheid.

Vriendelike diens met 'n heerlike ontbyt!

Neat, comfortable and warm place.

From the reception where they had to pick us up where we got lost to the free breakfast everything was painfully neat and the hospitality is endless. Very neat, efficient and cost effective.

Karibu Guest House delivers outstanding quality accommodation.

Karibu Guest House delivers value for money, security, cleanliness, convenient location and outstanding customer service. Recommend services.

Baie lekker.

Ons het heerlik by Karibu gebly. Engela en Maria se gasvryheid was uit die boeke. Ons het lekker by die swembad en kroeg gesit en kuier en was spyt dat ons nie ook tyd gehad het om van die braaigeriewe gebruik te maak nie. Alles was skoon en netjies en ek sal weer daar gaan bly.

Felt welcome immediately.

Engela is a very friendly and hospitable owner. We felt at home immediately. Thank you.

Neat, clean, quiet and hospitable.

Thank you to Engela for the extra effort she put in and for going out of her way to make us, her guests, feel at home and comfortable and the extra mile she walked. I can definitely recommend Karibu. We will use them again in the future if we are in that area again. They also became friends.

Wonderlike mense en diens is puik.

Vreeslik geniet was puik.

Was convenient and pleasant.

See stars.

Dit is huis weg van die huis.

Elke oorblik was baie spesiaal. Eienaar het uit haar pad gegaan om die oorbly meer dan fantasties te maak. Ek het nuwe huis in Gauteng met graderings.

Clean, fresh and very friendly host.

The host was very friendly and welcoming. The room very clean and comfortable and close to big centres. Safe and easy access. The only downside was that we had to share a bathroom with other guests, but otherwise an all round nice place to overnight. Had a great breakfast as well.

Absolutely the best!

My favourite place to stay when I go to Carnival City. Value for money, clean, safe and you feel as if you at home. The breakfast is fantastic.

I'm going back again.

I had so much fun and the place was amazing. The owner was very welcoming and we had a great time.

Lovely, clean, comfy bed and excellent hostess!

We really enjoyed our stay at Karibu. Thank you Engela! The house was lovely, the bed was comfortable and the food was great. You made us feel at home and we enjoyed our trip to Carnival City.

Baie tevrede.

Dankie vir vriendelike ontvangs, pragtige netjiese plek en heerlike ontbyt - mooiste kat!

Pleasant stay, wonderful and helpful hosts.

Such a pleasant stay, wonderful and helpful hosts, will definitely go there again.

Not my favourite.

Not the best B&B that we have stayed at, but the breakfast was delicious and the hostess very friendly.

Waarde vir geld.

Baie dankie dat julle die moeite gedoen het om ontbyt met 'n uur te vervroeg spesiaal vir ons.

Home away from home.

Friendly reception. Perfect location. Safe parking. Close to shopping mall.

It was nice.

The service and accommodation were very nice.

It was very nice.

I had a good night's rest and the breakfast was delicious. The room and bathroom is neat and very pretty.

Next level fantastic.

Had a wonderful, relaxing time. I would give them 6 stars if I could.

The place is very friendly accommodating with its staff.

It was a good journey and very easy to find. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Dit was wonderlik.

Eienares het ons baie welkom laat voel en alles was reg en op tyd soos belowe. Ons het dit terdeë geniet. Ons sal beslis weer daar gaan kuier.

Jou huis weg van jou huis!

Vanaf ons hartlik ontvang was deur bekwame Maria tot met die smul lekker ontbyt die volgende oggend kan ek jul net prys met jul Gastehuis! Baie dankie daarvoor. Kan jul met die grootste gemak aanbeveel.

Baie gasvry, skoon en netjies en baie bekostigbaar met 'n lekker ontbyt daarby.

Met my aankoms was ek vriendelik ontvang deur die eienaar en het sommer die hoofslaapkamer gekry. Die gastehuis is baie netjies en skoon met alle geriewe wat nodig is. Die ontbyt en geselskap was 'n goeie begin vir my dag. In dié area sal jy nie 'n beter bekostigbare gastehuis kry nie en ek sal definitief weer gaan.

Awesome.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs en die kamer was presies soos ek dit wou gehad het. Baie dankie aan ons gasvrou Engela Wessels, sy het als in haar vermoë gedoen om dit vir ons lekker te maak. Baie dankie.

Beautiful place and wonderful hospitality. It was more like our second home.

I'm out of words to explain how wonderful super and nice the Karibu Guest House was to us. As for the hospitality, Miss Angela and her helper, Maria, plus Angela's husband are good people. They made our stay super great. I'll definitely book here again.

Kind, friendly and helpful.

Very kind, helpful and good accommodation. Close to Airborne Aviation.

Breathtaking.

Great customer service, everyone was so friendly and helpful. Delicious food. No complaints.

Extremely low standard, unhygienic, will not recommend at all.

We had a very bad experience as we could not make use of the accommodation. The standard of the room and facilities was very poor and totally unacceptable. Upon arrival, a woman (whose appearance was very sloppy and her clothes unbelievably dirty) informed us that the room was not available as the previous people were late departing. According to the information I received we could have already signed in at 13:00 and it was 14:00. She showed us the room and we immediately decided that we could not stay there. It was dirty and unhygienic and the service pathetic. We had a tremendous problem because all the surrounding guesthouses, hotels, etc. were fully booked and in the end we had to pay a lot of money to procure accommodation. I was extremely disappointed because I have booked at many places before and have never come across such a thing. I just want to add that the pictures were very misleading. You make decisions with the information available on the website and we lost money we had paid up until that point since it could not be refunded.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang en het lekker warm geslaap.

Ons was net teleurgesteld dat ons 'n badkamer met ander gaste moes deel. Daar was ook nie 'n stort nie. Vir sommige persone is dit net nie moontlik om in en uit 'n bad te klim nie.

Best place, beat hostess.

It was such an amazing place to be at. I'm definitely going to come back with more friends. The owner is extremely nice.

Very peaceful place.

Friendly reception. Maria is a kind helper. We only met the owners the next day, also friendly. Neat and clean with everything you could need.

Comfortable and homey.

Our extended family (12 adults and 4 kids) stayed the long weekend because we had to attend a function. Engela was very accommodating and even allowed us to leave early since we had to travel far and we were tired. Felt as if we were visiting friends! We had the freedom of the entire place and we had a great time in the swimming pool, on the patio and at the braai. Wonderful weekend, we will remember it for a long time. We will definitely be back.

Very nice and quite area with very friendly staff.

Well kept and taken care of residence, immaculate and clean. A friendly dog and a cat. All our needs met.

Neat, clean and convenient accommodation.

Had such a good stay. Engela is very friendly and makes you feel at home. Rooms and bathroom are clean and tastefully furnished. Breakfast was delicious.

Ons het heerlik oorgebly en sal beslis dit weer doen.

Ek en my 3 kinders het heerlik oorgebly by Karibu. Die ontbyt was watertandlekker. Engela en Maria is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ek sal Karibu beslis aanbeveel. Baie dankie.

Skoon en wonderlike gasvryheid.

Wonderlike diens ontvang met aankoms en gedurende ons verblyf. Kamers is skoon en netjies en alles is daar wat jy nodig het. Baie veilig gevoel. Ontbyt die volgende oggend was heerlik. Sal definitief weer gaan kuier en gebruik van Karibu.

Very nice, very homey, you feel at home there.

Lovely accommodation, delicious breakfast, friendly welcoming.

Kommervry, salig en rustig!

Baie dankie aan Engela en Maria vir 'n wonderlike, rustige en netjiese verblyf, ek sal jul definitief weer in die toekoms ondersteun en aan enige iemand wat graag skoon en rustige verblyf wil hê, aanbeveel, moet ook nie die heerlike ontbyt uitsluit nie, fantasties! Nogmaals dankie!

Worth the money!

Close to casino, really nice place. Worth it.

Absolutely fantastic.

We stayed overnight. It was an absolute fantastic "sleep over". It is clean and safe, and offers value for money and the morning breakfast was out of this world. I will definitely stay there again.

Best value for money.

I checked in on 25 March with my husband. We received a warm welcome when we arrived. The room was clean and homely. The owner was very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast excellent.

Good enough value for money.

Karibu is quite hospitable, despite the not so easy to find location. I had a really comfortable stay. Angela is quite an amazing host.

Het voldoen aan ons behoeftes en was goed geleë vir die geleentheid.

Dit is belangrik dat wanneer die gaste in die tweede huis geplaas word, behoort die gaste kennis te dra van die feit dat die badkamer met ander gaste gedeel word.

Heerlike verblyf vir 'n baie goeie prys met 'n goeie ligging.

Karibu Guest House is vir seker goeie waarde vir geld. Ons het heerlik gebly en die ontbyt was fantasties.

Enjoyed staying at Karibu Guest House as I took my fiance on a little tour.

Affordable, beautiful, excellent customer service. Friendly staff working on the guest house.

100%!

We enjoyed our stay very much. Especially the hospitality was very amazing! The breakfast more then excellent.

It was very nice, cosy and tidy place.

We stayed for 2 nights. It was great value for money. The host was very friendly and the breakfast to die for. We would definitely stay there in the future again.

Baie goed ontvang.

Baie vriendelik ontvang. Kamer en geriewe netjies en skoon. Ontbyt was heerlik.

Goed!

Vreeslik lekker gebly daar, sal enige tyd weer teruggaan.

Ons is puik verwelkom in 'n heerlike rustige atmosfeer.

By ons aankoms het my dogter per ongeluk ons motorsleutels in die kattebak toegesluit. Engela was 'n wonderlike gasvrou wat ons so mooi versorg het toe ons nie kon ry om te gaan eet nie. Die "locksmith" het ons alarm hoeveel keer laat afgaan, maar sy was net besorg en ondersteunend. Ons moes aan 'n dans-kompetisie deelneem en die situasie was stresvol. Toe my man die volgende oggend van Kroonstad af arriveer met 'n sleutel, het sy hom verwelkom en genooi om saam met ons ontbyt te eet. Die kamer is eersteklas en die omgewing veilig en rustig. Ons beveel dit hoog aan en sal weer van die gasvryheid gebruik maak wanneer ons in die omgewing kom.

Baie lekker gebly. Kos was ook baie lekker.

Oor die algemeen geen probleme ondervind. Hulle het vir my 'n kospakkie verskaf vir elke dag teen 'n tarief en gasvryheid was uit die boonste rakke.

We enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay and will recommend Karibu Guest House to our friends.

Excellent hospitality, homely and clean.

Very conveniently located near a shopping mall and the Boksburg City Stadium. Our hostess was most welcoming and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others.

Dis amper soos jou eie tuiste.

Rustig en privaat, veilige omgewing. Baie oulike plek. Sal enige iemand aanbeveel om gerus daar oor te bly.

Heerlik!

Heerlike gasvrye plek met die mooiste kamers en 'n ontbyt wat enige vyfster hotel sal skaam maak! Baie dankie!

Engela was very pleasant, friendly and went out of her way to make us feel welcome

We only stayed for one night but Engela was very friendly and went out of her way to make us feel welcome. The room was very clean, our car was in a safe place, and we had a nice nights rest. When we got up, breakfast was ready and it was very lovely. we could not asked for more - it was a ten out of ten stay and we will go again any time we return to the area.

Wonderful place to be, recommended.

Liked the hospitality of the owner and the place was nice.

It was so comfortable, and staffed by very friendly people.

Beautiful area, very comfortable. Never felt so welcome before. Thanks guys for a wonderful stay.

Stunning!

Stunning place. Very conveniently situated close to Carnival City. Engela is the best host ever! Will definitely return.

Perfek. So lekker gebly!

Sal weer daar gaan bly. Vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Pragtige plek, goeie diens, heerlike ontbyt!

Sal definitief weer by Karibu bespreek .

Goeie waarde vir geld.

Uitstekende diens. Skoon, netjies en waarde vir geld!

Ons ondervinding van Karibu Gastehuis? Eenvoudig uitstekend!

Ek en my vrou se een aand verblyf by die gastehuis, was een van louter vreugde. Die kamer was pragtig en skoon en die ontspanning in die jacuzzi na 'n lang uitputtende dag, werklik 'n lafenis. Die deurgaanse strelende musiek in die smaakvol gemeubileerde leefvertrek, was werklik iets besonders. Dan daardie onvergeetlike ontbyt, wat kan 'n mens sê ... Engela jy is 'n gasvrou duisend, jy doen verseker jou naam gestand. Ook aan Meagan by TravelGround, baie dankie vir jou professionele diens, dit was lekker om met jou besigheid te doen. Dankie al weer. Thys en Hanna Snyman, Kriel.

Ons was hartlik ontvang met 'n lekker koppie koffie.

Die sleutels en parkering was van so 'n aard dat ons niemand hoef te gepla het met ons verblyf nie. Ontbyt was klaar gereed toe ons wakker word en ons gasvrou was vriendelik en hulpvaardig. 'n Heerlike ervaring! Sal Karibu Gastehuis aanbeveel vir enige groep- of familie verblyf. Dis baie naby aan Carnival City geleë wat perfek was vir ons doeleindes.

The owner of the place was very friendly

Everything was excellent. The owner was so humble, and we received a warm welcome.

Geen luuksheid, maar waarde vir geld!

Beslis waarde vir geld.

Hierdie kuier was uit en uit die moeite werd. Die atmosfeer was baie lekker en die strelende musiek in die oggende was "great".

Netjies! Het baie lekker geslaap!

Baie goeie ontvangs gehad. Ontbyt was heerlik.

Great

See the stars below.

Baie geniet - goeie verblyf!

Baie vriendelike diens. Baie gerieflike, skoon en bekostigbare verblyf. Goeie waarde vir geld!

Dit was werklik lekker om so spontaan, gasvry en vriendelik ontvang te word.

Die ontbyt was baie lekker. Ons sal die gastehuis graag aan ander bekend wil stel.

Meer as wat ek verwag het vir minder as wat dit kos.

Karibu Guest House met all our needs and more

Thanks very much to Engela at Karibu Guest House. Your hospitality was awesome and your guest house run to perfection.

Wonderful friendly and private experience!

We had a lovely time and will go back for sure.

Lekke!

Sien die sterre hieronder.

Awesome place to stay. Wonderful friendly service and nice and clean.

Breakfast was fit for a king. Thank you!

A home away from home.

I am very impressed with the accommodation and hospitality which I received from Karibu (Engela Wessels). She made us feel so at home; it was like being at home away from home. I will definitely go back to that B&B again.

Excellent

It was very clean, beautiful bedding, breakfast was excellent. I would really recommend this place to anyone. It is lovely.

What a lovely place

I just want to say, my husband and I had a lovely stay at Karibu Guest House, it was our First Anniversary and this was exactly what we wanted. A place away from home where we would feel at home! That is what Karibu Guest House was all about. We loved the Guest House so much that we would go there again in the near further.

Engela was a lovely host, place is in a safe area, beautiful home.

Engela was very friendly, willing to help whenever we needed her assistance with anything. Breakfast was lovely and we slept well. Just think all bedrooms must get white linen because with dark colors it just feels as though you're the 2nd person sleeping in them before they get changed.

Great place to stay!

We experienced our stay at the guesthouse as positive, safe and enjoyable. Engela has a warm personality and she did everything in her power to make us feel at home. We will definitely stay there again.

Friendly, accommodating and comfortable at an affordable price.

Our host was very friendly and accommodating. She made us feel at home from the very first minute until our departure. Rooms are nicely laid out with comfortable beds. If we stay in the area again we will definitely use Karibu Guest House.

Aangenaam, skoon en vriendelik

Alles was baie lekker. Engela is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Ons het laat geariveer en sy het ons vriendelik ingewag. Al wat sleg was is dat die houtbed verskriklik kraak. Daar is ook glad nie `n stort in die badkamer nie. Verder was alles baie netjies en skoon gewees.

I can easily compare our stay at Karibu Guest House with a visit to a Family Member.

Our Host Engela was an Angel of note, the friendly manner in which we were welcomed and treated somehow made me think I was at home. There was not a single item that we needed that was not provided for. One often tries to avoid accommodation as it is expensive, and Karibu Guest House is an absolute haven from Heaven. I would strongly recommend this spot to anyone who requires accommodation in the Brakpan area. Thank You Engela, we enjoyed our stay so much. Esme & Leon

Very nice stay, excellent breakfast.

Karibu is situated in a safe, quiet neighborhood. Engela was extremely helpful and friendly and served a wonderful breakfast.

Fantastic Service

Warm hospitality, and very friendly - they also have a great cat. Would recommend it to anyone. Plenty of well-wishes to the owners!

Clean and comfortable

Engela is a supreme host. She is very friendly and helpful.. We liked Karibu, as it is small and near Carnival City. We went to the Demis Roussos performance. This establishment is highly rated and is a great base for visiting the East Rand. Keep up the excellence and great value for money!!!

Clean, comfortable and friendly. Very close to Carnival City.

The place was clean, comfortable and guest friendly. Inside and outside was beautiful. The only disappointment was that the bathroom/toilet had no door and it was an extension of the room. It was awkward to get in and out of the bath which had a shower in it. There was no separate shower. Wooden floors creaked so it can be noisy at night. Otherwise, wonderful.

The host Engela is a gem and willing to keep her guests happy, I will definetly go back

I would go back, it is quiet and peaceful, and the breakfast was outstanding. Engela really goes out her way to make one feel at home and comfortable. I intend to come back here again soon.

Very friendly - goes the extra mile. The live piano music on two nights was great

More like a home away from home. Was made to feel very welcome. My hostess Engela makes the breakfasts special with little extra touches because she loves entertaining. I will definitely use this venue again when staying in the area as it is accessible to the Or Tambo airport & Johannesburg and surrounding areas.

Our stay at Kalibu will always be a fond memory we arrived as strangers and left friends

The guest house was comfortable and the breakfast fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble, and Engela outdid herself in terms of helping us out with adapters, lifts and hospitality. A wonderful experience and will certainly recommend Kalibu to our friends.

It was lovely and very homely. Enjoyed my stay very much

We were greated warmly. The owner contacted us while we were still on the road to ask how the trip was going. She was very kind and the breakfasts were very well put out and more than enough no mater what we felt like. We will be going back in the near future for sure.

The place is excellent

I have a good stay and enjoy myself. The place is excellent, provides good customer service with friendly staff. In short, I really enjoy myself.

You couldn't want for anything more!

Engela you are an angel. Nothing too big or too small to ask for - you just give and give. Thanks for making our stay so special. Clean, comfy bed, lovely linen and towels and yummylicious breakfast too - those livers are to die for skat! :-)

Great service, friendly people!!

Great service and friendly people!! Will surely return here again in the future.
