The accommodation does not look like the photos.

The rooms were dirty, and there were spiders all over the ceiling. Two of the people traveling with us have small bite marks on their arms and legs after sleeping in the beds. We requested a Wifi password, but the cleaner informed us that there is no Wifi available. Overall, I am quite disgusted and I feel that I have been horribly ripped off. The price per night is definitely not worth it. I will never stay with One Fountain B&B ever again.

Was an overnight stay.

Was clean and comfortable. Lovely hospitality with a generous and delightful breakfast included. Landscape from Kimberley to Barkly West very beautiful. Close enough to go and see the viewpoint for the confluence of the Vaal and Orange rivers (a suggestion provided by our host and worth the while when the rivers are in flood). Also close enough to visit historical sites in Kimberley such as the Big Hole.

Uiters onbevredigende ervaring.

Moes skakel om toegang te verkry. Vasgestel dat eienaar/gasvrou voltyds in die dorp werk. Is deur die huishulp ontvang. Vroegaand geen water. Op navraag is belowe dat die boorgatpomp die volgende oggend aangeskakel sou word. Later die aand wel water, maar kon nie stort omdat die krane en stortkop jou skok. Die volgende oggend weer geen water. Op navraag is belowe dat die pomp aangeskakel sou word en is die probleem met die krane gerapporteer. Geen resultate of terugvoer is ontvang nie. Nie eens 'n servet by die ontbyt beskikbaar nie. Honde in die agterplaas het periodiek deur die nag geblaf.

Extremely unsatisfactory experience.

Had to call to access. Determined that owner/hostess works full time in town. Was received by the housekeeper. No water in the early evening. On enquiry, it was promised that the borehole pump would be switched on the next morning. Later that evening there was water, but could not take a shower because the taps and shower head shock you. The next morning again no water. On enquiry, it was promised that the pump would be switched on and the problem with the taps was reported. No results or feedback received. Not even a napkin available at breakfast. Dogs in the backyard barked periodically throughout the night.

One Fountain B&B 's response

Ons dorp het so baie nie water nie, en ek sit die boorgat pomp aan. Ek is nie seker wat gebeur het daardie oggend nie.
Klein dorpies se B&B is nie lewensvatbaarheid om net op dit te lewe nie, so ek moes noodgedwonge begin werk kry ook. Dit is beslis nie die ideaal nie, dis hoekom ek sê mense kan eers na 16:00 inboek maar as iemand vroeër kom vra ek vir Trix om te help. Dit is beter as om te wag tot na 16:00. Ons het 'n probleem gehad met die krag, maar die hele huis is nou al oor gedoen en ek het 'n sertifikaat om dit te bewys. Ek voel baie sleg oor die revsesnie, ek het omtrent rowwe 2 maande agter die rug. Ek sal graag 'n gratis nag akkommodasie wil aanbied indien u weer in die omgewing moet kom vir werk. Ek wens ek kon net heeldag daar wees. Ek het so baie gelukkige gaste wat gereeld bespreek, wat verstaan as iets gebeur. Ek voel nou regtig sleg.

Teleurstellend.

Die twee matjies in die badkamer was vuil. Die een stortdeur het nie 'n handvatsel aangehad nie. Die wasbak het geen warm water nie. Die siffie wat keer dat iets in die wasbak se drein afgaan, is nie daar nie (dus 'n groot gat). Die toilet se deksel se een skarnier was stukkend. Die kamer is min of meer 4m x 5m. Die ruimte is oorvol met 5 slaapplekke. Die spasie tussen die hoek van die dubbelbed en die hoek van 'n ingeboude blad waarop die ketel staan, is maksimum 200mm. Geen persoon kan daardeur gaan as jy nie dwars draai nie. 'n Gesette persoon sal definitief nie daardeur kan gaan nie en dit is die toegangsroete na die badkamer. Die bed kan glad nie effens weggeskuif word om die opening te vergroot nie, want al die meubels staan styf teenmekaar ingepas. Alhoewel ek 10 min voor ons aankoms gebel het, was daar niemand om ons te ontvang nie (ontvangs se deur was gesluit) en ek moes die eienaar 'n tweede keer gebel het. Daar was geen kommunikasie i.v.m. die ontbyt-reëlings of wat met die kamer se sleutel gedoen moet word wanneer jy vertrek nie.

Disappointing.

The two mats in the bathroom were dirty. The one shower door did not have a handle. The sink has no hot water. The strainer that prevents anything from going down the sink drain is not there (so a big hole). One hinge of the toilet lid was broken. The room is more or less 4m x 5m. The space is overcrowded with 5 berths. The space between the corner of the double bed and the corner of a built-in slab on which the boiler stands is a maximum of 200mm. No person can go through it if you don't turn right. A sedentary person will definitely not be able to go through it and it is the access route to the bathroom. The bed cannot be moved slightly away to enlarge the opening, because all the furniture is tightly fitted together. Although I called 10 min before our arrival, there was no one to receive us (reception's door was locked) and I had to call the owner a second time. There was no communication regarding the breakfast arrangements or what needs to be done with the room key when you leave.

Baie aangenaam met 'n uitstekende ontvangs en 'n heerlike ontbyt.

Telana is 'n uitstekende gasvrou. Baie vriendelik en behulpsaam, en die kamer was silwerskoon en heerlike warm komberse vir die nag die tyd van die jaar in Barkly Wes. Ontbyt was baie lekker. Ek sal One Fountain beslis aanbeveel vir ander reisigers. Baie dankie Telana!

Nice place in a sad town.

Sad to see how the once nice town has decayed and died. If you HAVE to stay over in Barkley West, this is a good place to stay. Neat and clean, although the owners should really fix the taps (all it takes is to replace and tighten the nuts). Air conditioning made the stay enjoyable and the breakfast was very good.
