Skoon rustige blyplek.

Dit was 'n baie netjiese en skoon wooneenheid. Waarde vir geld. Die waaier het nie regtig die kamer afgekoel tydens die hitte nie, gelukkig het ons maar die deur en venster oopgemaak. Dit was ook 'n baie besonderse warm naweek. Hierdie plek is awesome en BAIE BAIE SKOON.

Clean peaceful place to stay.

It was a very neat and clean unit. Value for money. The fan didn't really cool the room during the heat, luckily we just opened the door and window. It was also a very special warm weekend. This place is awesome and VERY VERY CLEAN.

Excellent!

Shane was extremely helpful when we asked for a slightly earlier check-in time so we could get to our family event, and when we rearranged our check-out time. Everything was clean and tidy, and the unit had everything we needed. We will definitely recommend and choose to stay there again. Thank you.

Veilig, skoon en goed toegerus.

Die ligging van die gastehuis was naby waar ek moes gaan werk. Dit is naby winkelsentrums en nie te ver van die strande nie. Die straat is bietjie besig, maar dit het my nie gepla nie. Die bed/matras was van 'n goeie gehalte, soos die res van die toerusting in die kombuis.

Translate to English.

Safe, clean and well equipped.

The location of the guest house was close to where I had to go to work. It is close to shopping centers and not too far from the beaches. The street is a bit busy, but it didn't bother me. The bed/mattress was of good quality, as was the rest of the equipment in the kitchen.

Ons was vriendelik ontvang. Die plek is groot. Pragtig skoon. Het alles in wat jy benodig weg van jou huis.

Die slaapkamers bo is baie ruim. Pragtig skoon. Onder is die kombuis met al die nodige geriewe. Eetkamer, sitkamer en 'n stoep. Baie waarde vir die prys.

Vals advertensie.

Word geadverteer as 'n B&B? Kom daar dan is dit skielik self-catering! Nie net met 1 paartjie nie, maar 2 pare oor die naweek gebeur! Dan ook moet die 1 oor die ander 1 klim om van die bed af te klim en dan weer terugseil in die bed in. Dan word jy kamma 'n Continental ontbyt aangebied wat bestaan uit 'n croissant, kaas en stukkie kouevleis en tamatie!? Regtig!? Volgens die eienaar is dit die ander plek wat ontbyt gee? Nou hoekom word die verkeerde adres vir die kliënte gegee? Ek sal aanbeveel hulle maak seker van die adres en gaste se bespreking vorentoe.

False advertisement.

Advertised as a B&B? Get there and suddenly it's self-catering! Not only with 1 couple, but 2 couples over the weekend happen! Then also the 1 must climb over the other 1 to get off the bed and then sail back into the bed again. Then you are offered a continental breakfast consisting of a croissant, cheese and a piece of cold meat and tomato!? Really!? According to the owner, this is the other place that gives breakfast? Now why is the wrong address given to the customers? I would recommend they check the address and guest booking going forward.

Shalimar Guesthouse 's response

Dear Yvonne. As explained too you by both Lekkerslaap and ourselves you booked the Self Catering Studio Apartment that is not situated in the main guesthouse but has its own private entrance, fully functioning kitchen and Bathroom. This is explained on the website, We were under the impression you understood this explanation during the time of your stay? Regardless, we tried to make your stay as pleasant as possible by making you breakfast and taking it over to your unit ? Your Claim that this happened to two other couples over the weekend is untruthful as we only have the one Self Catering unit that you were staying in.

The host was not home to open when we arrived.

Secondly, we paid for bed and breakfast, breakfast was not as per the standard. When I mentioned this to the host he told me breakfast is complimentary and I should take it as a blessing?

Shalimar Guesthouse 's response

Dear Joelyn. Guesthouses have check in procedures, unlike Hotels. You received emails with our checking in procedures and times. This was to inform you that there will not always be someone at the Guesthouse to check you in after 18:00. As explained to you we unfortunately received the wrong mobile number for you and we were not able to get in contact to arrange times with you. We were hoping you would get in touch as requested on the emails. We only received communication from you at 19:00 once you already stopped outside the gate of the guesthouse. I was 37km away for a meeting but drove through as fast as I could to open and check you in. Our breakfasts are complementary so you don't pay for them. Sorry they are not up to your standards.
