Provider-sourced guest reviews.
There was a smell inside the room, and it was unpleasant the whole night. Then next morning when I was about to leave, I had to take a shower with cold water, there was no hot water at all.
I likes the location and the area seemed safe
The room was not very clean, they did not sweep under the bed, there was only one towel that we had to share, there was no hot water in the morning that we hsd to check out at 11 because gyzer was eventually fixed. fridge not clean was with left overs
The room was okey
The bathroom was horrible!! The whole ceiling was full of black mould. I could not use the bathroom at all. My husband drove me to the garage nearby to use for bathroom. I could not get myself to use the bathroom.
Nothing
The owner cancelled our heck in on the last day it was really bad
Loved everything especially Xoli🙏😘
Comfortable rooms
The water from the geysers is either hot or cold there is no in between and hot water runs out very fast.
Close to shopping Centers
Not Clean at all. Couldn’t even use their shower. Staff was not professional at all. She actually only started organising the kitchen while I was there (removing dishes from the sink etc)
The adress is not easy to find. The gate has no number
I got there I was told my booking is cancelled.

I loved how cozy the place was, it was warm and the staff was welcoming
I didn't like the fact that they didn't have washing rags for dishes so we can clean our utensils. The side laps weren't working and their air freshener placed in the bathroom isn't working properly
Ready for load shedding in terms of gas gysers

Care taker, Xoli was helpful and friendly Rooms clean and spacious
Please put a few hangers for clothes in the wardrobe, carpet on the floor in the bedroom and bathroom, side lamps also not working.
It’s very spacious. That was nice.
There was for a minute warm water. The rest of the time me and my friend could not shower because there was not warm water. And it was very cold this weekend. The one time there was not even water.
Self catering units
The wifi wasn’t working all week 😩
The Braai Area.
No WiFi at the time of my stay.
Bed not comfortable and their gas geyser doesn't give enough hot water
Its spacious inside and has alot of amenities in it
I think the location and the fact that it feels like a student accommodation Oh, the wifi was also not working
Nothing
Dirty, not as advertised, no washing machine, fridge dirty, dishes from previous stay still in dish rack, TV channels not working as advertised. Not an apartment but a room in a house. No proper check out procedures
I had a mixed experience at this guest house. On the positive side, the place is beautiful, spacious, and very well located. It honestly exceeded my expectations in terms of appearance and overall setting. Also, Xola at reception was friendly, welcoming, and very helpful throughout my stay, which I really appreciated. However, there were some serious cleanliness and maintenance issues that need attention. The dishes were not properly washed it looked like they were just rinsed off. There was no toilet paper provided in the bathroom, which is a basic necessity that should not be overlooked. The bedding was also a concern. The duvet cover was damp, which suggests it hadn’t dried properly before being used. The fitted sheet and pillowcases had noticeable brown stains and did not appear clean, which is unacceptable for guest accommodation. Additionally, the water temperature was inconsistent. Even when set to a normal temperature, it would suddenly turn cold and then switch back to warm after a few minutes, making it uncomfortable to use. Overall, while the property itself is impressive and the service from reception was great, the cleanliness and maintenance issues significantly affected my stay. These are fundamental areas that need improvement.
Nothing
The shirts wasn't changed
The receptionist was very helpful.
No sign outside to show business. Area seemed abit runned down. The was a problem with the internet, hence no internet. The rooms need some maintenance. Hot water is from gas, but after a while the water goes cold. The linen has stains and was torn. Lighting in the room and bathroom is not great.
Nothing at all
More to be done on the property to make it feel comfortable
Comfortable and well locatedp

Nothing.Because there was nothing to like.Booked a room in advance.Just to drive there and find that my room was given out to some other guests...Ended up with a cash refund in the middle of the night and having to book in a sub standard dwelling.Make sure you are confirmed with this property before hand.Or else you might find your self stranded on the street.
It’s not far from town an easy to find
My shower did not have hot water and it seems the lady at the reception who checked me in wasn’t surprised when I told her the show did not have hot water.i had to use a basin to wash!!
This place is filthy made me sick to my stomach
Definitely not what was advertised on booking.com scam and daylight robbery
Value for money
Nothing
Well for me it's more of a Go To place, so it's only fair that I give it my personal score. I liked the place and the lady is very understanding despite the amount of times I texted her cause I wasn't familiar with how the smart TV works, the shower to give hot water and she was kind enough to borrow us an iron for our clothes. So it's a 10/10 personally.
Nothing negative, cause I messed up by thinking I could walk the distance from down town instead of taking a cab there😅😅
Everything
Nothing
The bed, very comfortable
The shower, it seems like it malfunctions when you open the cold tap
The location and the space of rooms, the star of the show was the backyard porch
The lady in charge did not really put her foot down when it came to the other guests as they were really inconsiderate,instead she came to knock while we were still getting dressed to tell us to leave at exactly 10am which was really rude and disrespectful towards us as guests
The service was good, the lady was very friendly and the room was clean and cousy.
Well maintained structure.

No hot heater in the shower . Said they were not aware that the battery of the generator is faulty . Very disappointing .

The best is the surrounding and is a quite place.

The location was great, and the host was welcoming and helpful in explaining the available amenities.
One small shortfall was the hot water, which took a while to heat up and didn’t stay warm for long. The pillows were also quite firm and a bit uncomfortable for my preference. Aside from that, the place was comfortable.
Xoli (receptionist) is warm and welcoming. I had to check out early and she assisted with that. Check-in is swift.
There’s mold in the bathroom. The dishes were not properly washed, sponge to wash dishes was dirty as well. The shower head doesn’t provide an even flow of water. No shower cap provided.
Safe and secured
When got to the gate the staff was very rude didn’t want to open the gate since we checked in very late
Easy check-in. Cheryl was friendly & helpful. Room was clean & comfortable. Covered parking available behind a locked gate. Everything we needed for an overnight stay.
Our room was level with the parking area which is "paved" with loose stones. Cars in & out late at night was disturbing. I would suggest asking for a room away from the parking area.
The location of the house. It's really great and easy to find
The host. She does not have manners. Does not have a way of communicating with guests. Coming to guests in the morning wearing bath towels. We need to look for the irons. Rooms have spiders and dust.
Clean, safe and well located
The service was great and the place gave off a homey feeling/atmosphere
The room didn't have an air freshener and there wasn't an iron in the room
The location is very friendly
The operation of the t.v system needs to change.
Perfect location
No hot water
The place was nice and quiet, very clean
Hard pillows, I had to sleep without the pillow because all 4 pillows were hard and too big to support my neck
Hostess was very friendly and helpful. Explained all amenities.
Location convenience
Curtains dirty shower multifunctional
It's in a central area in Bloemfontein and the accommodation itself is nice and it's cheap.

I went to check in later on what they did not open the gate for me
