Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Cleanliness, room and pool were cleaned daily. The lady at the facility was very friendly and helpful.
The noise, other guests were not considerate. They were noisy until 03:50am which made it extremely difficult to sleep.
Clean. Kindness. Quiteness
Water was a bit cold
Position very good. Fantastic veiw
No fan in one room
The property was good and close to the main road
Its so beautiful
Nothing
The view was the only positive side.
Unacceptable noise levels and completely unresponsive host. We booked this establishment expecting the tranquil environment advertised in the listing, especially since we were traveling with our 11-year-old son. The first night was just that quiet and tranquil but the door handle broke and the facility was not clean. Instead the second night, a massive, extremely loud party took place downstairs. The noise and bass were incredibly disruptive even before the 11:00 PM cutoff and continued long into the night, making it impossible to sleep.To make matters worse, the host completely ignored numerous phone calls and messages left on their voicemail. Other party attendees also accessed and used our designated bathroom, leaving it heavily unhygienic, which was a major health concern due to a medical condition. The communal areas were completely taken over and filled with indoor smoking. The venue itself is nice as you can view the sea, but the management and lack of hosting responsibility completely ruined our stay. And the host, who only messaged the next day stated she did speak to the other guests but they were aggressive and also stated they paid. Would not recommend.

Everything and the fact that there aren’t enough bathrooms. They need to clean and disinfect the shower floors
The roo. was clean.
On one of the property where our driver was accommodated, there was no hot water. Where we slept there was no kettle for hot water. Hot water was provided in a sauce pan.
Very clean and peaceful.
The shower had low pressure.
Nothing the worst treatment I recieved from the landlady. The room we were at had no locker. With no parking safe parking as requested before booking.

The place is situated in the seaview
The slope or steep when you enter the premises, our vehicles slips.
We were using public transport the staff made sure they fetch us straight from the main road, they took us in for a tour around the property It was very clean , security tight and would be good for a person travelling with kids dispite that it situated by the main road but very safe

Power went off..no feedback as to what is happening...only got feedback 3 hours later when we already checked out The place has a lot of potential..needs to be managed properly..
The location was closer to all the place that we needed to be at.
We were given only one towel which we used Friday night when we arrived, we also used it in the morning and we left hoping that when we come back it will be changed but that was not the case we had to ask to another one.
the view of the ocean
towels were cream instead of white, the pressure of water was very low in the morning
Literally everything

It wasn't what I booked . Took me to a different room than what was advertised. I didn't even end up staying there.
The views are amazing
Dear Management, I would like to express my disappointment regarding our recent stay at La Vue Port Shepstone. We have stayed at numerous establishments over the years and rarely feel the need to submit a formal complaint. Unfortunately, our experience at your property fell well below what was advertised and what we expected. Firstly, both the Booking.com listing and the WhatsApp business profile reflected the address as 16 Marine Drive, Oslo Beach. After travelling and arriving in the area at approximately 20:00, we informed you via WhatsApp that we had reached the location. It was only then that we were advised that the accommodation was actually located at 1 King Haakon Road, Oslo Beach, Port Shepstone. Arriving at night and then having to locate a different address created unnecessary frustration and inconvenience, particularly as we had relied on the information provided on your platforms. Secondly, the standard of cleanliness was extremely concerning. The towels provided were not white as one would reasonably expect from freshly laundered linen, but rather cream-coloured and visibly aged. The bedding appeared similarly discoloured. Clean, fresh linen is a basic expectation of any accommodation establishment, and the condition of both the towels and bedding immediately raised concerns regarding overall cleanliness and maintenance standards. The combination of inaccurate location information and the condition of the linen left us feeling that the property did not reflect the standard presented online. As paying guests, we expected a comfortable and welcoming experience, but unfortunately our stay began with confusion and was further overshadowed by concerns regarding cleanliness. I trust that you will take this feedback seriously and review these issues to prevent future guests from having a similar experience.

Great value for money , staff were warm and welcoming . Fantastic view and good location
Not much to dislike , the water pressure in the shower / bath wasn’t great and there was an issue with the wifi connection but still enjoyed our stay
Sea view
Bed was balanced with a brick Shower was hard to figure out
The location was ideal for my needs, and the staff were helpful.
Water pressure seemed to be a problem, I have since heard that is a problem in the area.
The staff was so friendly through out our stay, so helpful. I like the jacuzzi infront nice view at the beach.
Can booking.com advise accordingly with prices, when I was making my bookings, the room is booked was not told that the shower was outside, it inconvenienced me so I had to add price to take the room I saw on booking. Com
Very Cosy and fully equipped
No complaints
The ladies were very nice... We enjoyed it
Its in a quiet area which we enjoyed
