Die kamer was netjies en skoon, maar vir die prys het ek al beter ervaar.

Die kamer het 'n merkbare opgradering nodig (dit is baie "dated" om die Engelse woord te gebruik). Klein goedjies soos die kombers wat oud lyk en loodswaar is. Die bedkassie kort 'n verf en die bedlampie se plastiek is gekraak van ouderdom. Die kamer was koud en onpersoonlik. Ek moes gaan vra vir 'n haardroër die volgende oggend, want daar was nie een in die kamer nie. Kon ook nie die verwarmer gebruik nie, want daar was nie 'n "adapter" vir die tipe prop nie. Goedkoop koffie op die skinkbord. Ek sou dit nie waarde vir die prys noem wat ek betaal het nie.

The room was neat and clean, but for the price I have experienced better.

The room needs a noticeable upgrade (it is very "dated" to use the English word). Little things like the blanket that looks old and feels heavy. The bedside table needs a coat of paint and the bedside lamp's plastic is cracked with age. The room was cold and impersonal. I had to ask for a hairdryer the next morning as there was none in the room. Couldn't use the heater either because there wasn't an "adapter" for the type of plug. Cheap coffee on the tray. I wouldn't call it value for the price I paid.

Dear Helma,

We note your detailed comments and thank you.

There are rooms which have been planned and budgeted to be re-vamped.
Covid has been vicious and has had the most absolutely negative impact on many businesses, especially the hospitality industry.
We remain aspirational in wanting to create a positive experience for guests and do mostly get it right, and apologise for your experience.

Point of interest, our Namibian guests enjoy both the Nescafe Classic and lots ask for Ricoffy. We find guests who are particular about their brand of coffee provide it for themselves.

We also have a very diverse profile of guests with different expectations and needs.

Have a good day.
Kind regards,
Lorna Thomson

Baie aangenaame ontvangs.

Ons was net in vir een aand en moes vroeg weer uitcheck a.g.v. ons vlugte. Ontvangs het vir ons 'n ontbytpakkie en koffie neergesit en uitcheck was baie maklik gereël.

Very pleasant reception.

We were only in for one night and had to check out early due to our flights Reception left us a breakfast pack and coffee and check out was very easy to arrange.

Pleasant, friendly staff. Comfortable homely feel.

The only issue was the doubled-up parking in the garage. If people needed to leave early we were woken up to move cars.

Ontvangs personeel afwesig.

Baie netjies en veilig. Goeie ligging omrede ons by die hospitaal moes wees. Vriendelike staff, maar ontvangspersoneel afwesig. Sou ook lekker gewees het om 'n klein ontbyt (snacks) te kry in die oggende vir die tarief per nag wat gevra word. Julle kan daaraan dink om 'n kragopwekker aan te skaf tydens loadshedding. As die krag af is, is daar ook nie water toevoer nie.

Reception staff absent.

Very neat and safe. Good location because we had to be at the hospital. Friendly staff, but reception staff absent. It would also have been nice to get a small breakfast (snacks) in the mornings for the rate per night that is being asked. You can think about purchasing a generator during loadshedding. If the power is off, there is no water supply either.

Good day Deon,

Thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your stay with us, it is really appreciated.
We want to apologise if our staff seemed absent, that was not our intention.

We would also like to say that we were wrong to not mention that we offer breakfast at an extra charge as the room booked was a self-catering room.

With our guest bedrooms a basic breakfast is included in the rate.

Thank you once again for choosing to stay with us

Warm Regards,

Constantia disappointment.

The accommodation is dated and was a disappointing booking for a Constantia area. The photos show the room after a fresh paint and light carpets. It is not what we expected - carpets had horrible marks on it and the room needs paint and upgrade. Breakfast was included in the price. To our disappointment, we were told (in July 2022) that due to Covid there is no hot breakfast. I won't embarrass them by disclosing what their "cold breakfast" consisted of. Don't mislead guests- there are thousands of properties to choose from.

The best place we have ever been.

The owners made us feel at home. we have never experienced such warmth at a guest house. The atmosphere is so peaceful. The breakfast was sufficient. It's not always when you are able to engage in such amazing conversations with the owners, but their transparency and words of wisdom really add value to your stay. We hope God always bless them in abundance. We will definitely choose their guesthouse again.

Pleasant, clean and tidy, had everything I needed, but fresh milk and tea would have been fantastic.

Very pleasant, thank you. The safety is compromised by a large opening (almost the size of an iron) in the ceiling of the bedroom. Didn't know if someone might be watching me or hiding a camera there. If the hole is fixed, I would love to stay there again. At night it was difficult to find the place, although there is lighting, I could not see a name or number anywhere. There was a sound like a ticking clock that rattled through the night. I could not find the origin of the sound, and then had to sleep like that.
