Goeie waarde vir geld gewees. Aangenaam.

Verblyf was heerlik. Geen klagtes. Swembad kan dalk beter versorg word.

A pleasant place to stay for short or long durations.

Yamkela was a pleasant lodge to stay at. Hospitality by the operators was greatly pleasant. The breakfast was fresh and made with dedication. The only disappointing thing was the pool was not working as there was no sweeper to keep it clean from debris falling in. It is a safe place to stay.

Gasheer en gasvrou baie vriendelik.

Gasheer en gasvrou doen moeite om hul gaste tuis te laat voel. Ons sal beslis weer by Yamkela Guest House bespreek.

Skoon, netjiese kamers en 'n heerlike ontbyt wat op 'n gesonde manier voorberei is.

Una, gasvrou, se aanbevelings van besoekpunte het ons baie gehelp om interessante plekke te sien. Haar man, Charl, se ontbyt is uit die boeke. Dankie vir 'n ontspanne kuier.

We had a good stay. The lighting was not so good in the room, but the swimming pool was most welcome.

Good breakfast, but accommodation outdated, friendliness can be improved

We booked a quadruple room which was a two person room with extra beds. Friendliness is not the strongest point. Normal request are seen as a burden. I got overcharged by R500.

Pragtige area, heerlike ontbyt en vriendelike gasheer.

Baie mooi plek, naby aan restaurante en op die hoofstraat na Kango-grotte, met heerlike ontbyt, en 'n vriendelike en hulpvaardige gasheer. Die gordyn tussen die badkamer en slaapkamer het bietjie gepla.
