Tevrede - ligging was perfek.

Ek sal net aanbeveel om Nescafe of bietjie ordentliker koffie as Ricoffi in die kamer te hê - andersins het ons lekker gebly - kamer was skoon en netjies en ruim.

Paolo's Response

Goeie dag Jeanette,

Hoop dat alles goed was sedert u verblyf by ons.

Baie dankie dat jy die tyd geneem het om ons jou gewildste terugvoer te gee. Ons is so bly dat u die verblyf by ons geniet het.

Ons sal beslis 'n nota maak van u aanbeveling.

Ons hoop om u terug te keer na Mai Guesthouse in die toekoms.

Tot dan, bly goed en wees geseënd.

Met dankbaarheid

Absolutely awesome.

No problems. The staff were absolutely friendly and helpful and went the extra mile for me when I had to book my mom in at the very last minute because she was discharged from the hospital.

Absoluut awesome.

Geen probleem ondervind nie. Die personeel was absoluut vriendelik en behulpsaam en het die ekstra myl geloop vir my toe ek op nommer 99 vir my ma ook moes bespreek omdat sy ontslaan was uit hospitaal.

Goed vir een aand se verblyf.

Mai Guest House se verwelkoming was aangenaam. Kamer was vreeslik bedompig en baie warm sonder lugverkoeling.

Stephan M

Dit was baie gemaklik en gerieflik.

Ons het laat aand opgedaag en die inboektyd was ongelooflik gerieflik. Die diens was vinnig en vriendelik en ons verblyf, hoewel baie kort, was baie lekker.

Uitstekende, vriendelike diens.

Kamer was baie netjies. Alle geriewe was perfek vir oornag. Plek was perfek geleë vir doel vir ons besoek. Diens was baie vriendelik en professioneel. Enigste negatiewe ding was dat ons handdoeke al oud en uitgerafel was. Maar die stort was heerlik en ek was aangenaam verras met die hele plek. Beslis aan te beveel.

Friendly people and clean facilities, but I think you can do better for the same price.

The people are very friendly and professional, but the feeling of the place is unfortunately very much like a student house. I'm convinced that you can get a better place for the same price more or less.

Vriendelike mense en skoon geriewe, maar ek dink 'n mens kan beter doen vir dieselfde prys.

Die mense is baie vriendelik en professioneel, maar ongelukkig is die gevoel baie soos 'n studente huis. Ek is oortuig dat 'n mens 'n beter plek kan kry vir min of meer dieselfde prys.

Pragtige kamers, nie praktiese opsie vir gesin nie.

Die kamers is ruim en baie netjies. Ek was verras om te sien dat daar nie lugversorging was nie. Op die opsomming is dit ook nie duidelik dat daar geen ontbytopsie beskikbaar is nie. Nie prakties vir 'n gesin nie, aangesien 2 aparte kamers voorsien is.

Terence J
With spouse/partner

The hospitality and neatness was wonderful! First class.

The reception phoned us regularly to find out what time we will clock in and to make sure that we don't get lost. We were welcomed as if we were regular customers upon our arrival, even though it was our first time. Will definitely stay there again next time.

Die gasvryheid en netheid was wonderlik! Eersteklas.

Die ontvangs het ons gereeld gebel om uit te vind hoe laat ons sal inklok en om seker te maak ons verdwaal nie. Met ons aankoms was ons met ope arms verwelkom asof ons gereelde klante is, alhoewel dit ons eerste keer was. Sal definitief volgende keer weer daar tuisgaan.

Comfortable.

It truly is self-catering. Was able to do everything as if I was at home (e.g. prepare own breakfast and dinner). Very clean and neat. Rooms are modern and I felt like I was staying in a well managed hotel. Only problem was the slow WiFi, had to use my own data most of the time.

Gerieflik.

Dit is werklik selfsorg-eenhede. Ek was in staat om alles te doen asof ek was by die huis was (bv. berei my eie ontbyt en aandete voor). Dit was baie skoon en netjies. Die kamers is modern en ek het gevoel asof ek in 'n goed bestuurde hotel bly. Die enigste probleem was dat die WiFi baie stadig was, ek moes my eie data meeste van die tyd gebruik.

Fantastic hidden jewel in Bloemfontein and excellent value for money!

We were pleasantly surprised with the lovely place! It is very close to the N1, but in a quiet neighbourhood. The room and kitchen has everything you need. Everything was very very neat and luxurious and still very affordable. We will never stay elsewhere when next we're in Bloemfontein. Thank you!

Fantastiese blyplek.
