The Blyde: 2-Bed Luxe Apartment

Very nice and spacious, and the property manager was always accessible

The cleanliness of the apartment

The lights in the bathroom were not working. Insufficient mirrors. The old towels.

Lagoon beach

Not having enough kitchenette and to be not provided with toilet papers and oven was not working together with the microwave. Block 48 unit 552

The view

The rules were not stated on the booking site like other places, but we only received them via an email which is bad because it made the experience differ from what we were looking for. They did not even correspond with the ones on site. The usual household essentials were not available, i.e dishwasher, salad bowls and or dishing bowls.

the house was clean and joseph has been so helpful. his service was excellent with proper communication.

Hi, thank you again for having us. We enjoyed our stay overall, but I just wanted to share a few things that I feel could be improved for future guests and even me and my family would love to go back there 😊

Firstly, the showers could definitely have been given a bit more attention in terms of cleaning. The toilet in the main bedroom was also not flushing properly. We had to open the tap behind the toilet every time we used it in order for it to flush. The basin outlets in both bathrooms also seem to be partially blocked, as the water is not draining easily. In the main bedroom, this is also causing water to leak from behind the basin, so this would probably be worth looking into. Another thing that could perhaps be improved is the access to the property. When we went out, we struggled to get back through the main gate and had to turn around three times because the access pins didn't seem to be working properly, or there may have been another issue with the system. Perhaps there is a better or more reliable way to manage access for guests. Lastly, the access to the beach was not clearly stated in the original advert. We had planned to go to the beach, only to find out that we had to pay R150 per person per day for access, as the owner apparently does not pay the levies and therefore the tenants/guests have to cover this. I did see the information mentioned in the last email I received, but it would be really helpful if this could be clearly highlighted in the original listing and, if possible, included in the overall accommodation price. It would make the costs much clearer for guests when making a booking. These are just a few suggestions that I hope will be helpful in improving the experience for future guests. Thank you again for your hospitality. 🌸 and may God bless you 🙏🏾

The were no pot lid, the microwave was not working even after we reported it to the host nothing was done, the second bedroom the bed was uncomfortable and I think the base broken, we don’t have excess to the balcony, no extra blankets and it was so cold

The apartment, the cleanliness, the food, the space was very comfortable and accommodating. The water🥹🥹

The rules around the pool. Nobody tells you anything until you get there . The staff in charge of checking the pool access was very rood and unprofessional. The white people were very racist too. We also weren't told to turn the geazer on for hot water. Had to use cold water

Very cosy felt like home away from home

I liked the house and the place was very beautiful and quiet we needed that thank you ❤️

The showers was so bad we bath with cold water and the main bedroom the bathroom toilet was not working but we did manage

Our place was clean and the bed very comfortable

Easy to communicate.

Vehicle queue at the security gate as it's popular and strict which is good but waiting long.

The place was very clean

They should specify that the unit is far from the lagoon

Clean and quiet, the staff is so friendly

Nothing

Upon arrival my kids and wife were amazed about the cleanliness of the apartment

None

The host was very rude.

Everything about the apartment is awesome. It is well maintained, and offers exceptional service.

The electricity going off more than times. That needs to be looked at

The host couldn’t assist with access codes which was very inconveniencing and frustrating being at the gate and couldn’t come in or out of the place because if host not provide correct codes 😥😥😥

Convenient location near shops and transit, a quiet atmosphere with great neighbors, and modern amenities like a patio, in-unit laundry & secure parking.

The thing of requesting an access code or exit PIN to leave an estate.

Everything.

Nothing

We were always attended to. Joseph is always ready to respond to our request.

The lagoon is nice but you has to pay for access.

The Blyde is a place to be.

I had no regret

The host is awesome 👌. And his apartment feels like home. We will definitely regularly book his place. The beach ⛱️ is magnificent. Lovely stay.

Nothing. The estate has good security.

Was nice and clean ❤️

Nothing much just network but all was well

The resort is lovely and relaxing although the ongoing construction work caused restrictions

The accommodation had cockroaches. No hand soap. Inexpensive dishwashing liquid which made it hard to wash basic dishes as it makes no foam. No detergents to clean the bath or the toilet. Please have 1 bottle of domestos in the property. The bed felt like sleeping on a rock. The pillows had no cushioning. The dish rack was dusty and dirty. The shower needs a deep clean, visible build up of scum marks on the floor. The property was not available for us to access from 2pm as per check in time. The host was busy cleaning and changing bedding when we arrived. The process to enter the lagoon is tedious and there is no order.

Norhing

The host was not communicating

It was easily accessible, very clean and modern. It is a beautiful place. I will recommend anyone to stay here. Like being in a fully furnished apartment with everything you need.

Lagoon ang the rooms

Coldness of the room ... aircon needed.

Has a restaurant nearby and shops with delivery facilities can access it.

Had cockroaches so they need to call a professional to fumigate. Requesting a code each time to receive groceries was a bit of a drag. We were a party of four but the app forced us to book two apartments (the other one we didn’t use because all 4 fit in the 1). Access to water area was extra but our host arranged for free access due to booking mishap.

A lot of things

Cockroaches

The manager add 1 extra hour for us to keep our luggage in the house

The fact that the security guy ,the one was assisting us yesterday at the gate he was very rude,.

Everything about the property nothing to complain about, some things s guests we have to understand s guests that it can't be perfect for instance you can't complain of just a mere blocked basin which is something that it didn't ruin your stay at the apartment but anyway they should fix it cause I saw a lot of reviews about it, also when they clean they should also clean under the beds and behind the headboard. Can you also include the lagoon entrance fee on the booking price to make it simple for us guests to enter the lagoon cause one thing for sure we can't book the place and don't want to go to the beach. We really enjoyed our stay, though on our way home, we were accused of a lost towel, and they kept on calling though we were telling them to properly look for it. I suggest you should get a bigger router, not that pocket router plugged behind the TV, and when you switch off the TV, it also goes off, and its signal was very weak. The beds are very comfortable and yes it is a 2 bedroom with ensuit so I'll give the place 9.5 rating for all that.

The place was very clean. The host was friendly and responded promptly to all my requests.

Nothing at this stage

Conformability

Cleaneless

Clean and in a nice estate

Communication was lacking about how to get into the room. No coffee or milk.. just tea and sugar. Blinds need repairs.

The water 😂,the staff and food was great

The long stairs to our apartment

Season Our host was always helpful n friendly,Beautyful environment Loved the beach as well it was top👌

Linen was not changed on daily basis,toilet papers was not replaced,limited sugar for 6ppl,small bathroom towels n dirty for +sizes tenants,2 had to sleep on couches due to limited double bed space

Everything 👌

A cold shower in the main bedroom when the rest of the house has hot water 😕

I liked very thing was perfect and clean Our host was very nice to us

The beach

Having to pay to go to the pools daily. The fact that the fee charged by the host was more than the charge at the pools. There was never a host available which made a lot of things difficult. Overhaul experience very frustrating and disappointing. Restaurant had poor service and never had what you wanted to order.

Clean

WiFi was slow, maybe Fibre line will help

It’s so clean and comfortable

It was complicated to do things

Our stay was very uncomfortable. At around 23:20 while we were already asleep, a manager/host knocked repeatedly saying she was looking for “something.” She then entered the bedroom where my husband and I were sleeping and went straight to a locked wardrobe, spending time trying to open it to look for a bag to take to the airport, which we knew nothing about. After she left (just before midnight), we checked the app and saw a message sent around 23:15 stating that she would be coming to collect a bag. This was never properly explained to us beforehand, and our children were terrified. Being woken up late at night and having someone enter our private space for a non-emergency was extremely intrusive and made us feel unsafe. Guest privacy should be respected.

The place was beautiful

The apartment is we stayed in did not have lights in some of the bedrooms and one of the toilets had problems, our host promised to fix it but did not come.

They had 2 carports They had 2 bathrooms A private backyard

The fridge didn’t really work The oven was dirty and the oven dials/ buttons things didn’t work and The beds were very uncomfortable and were sinking in They didn’t have any refuse bags The dishes clothes were dirty The furniture outside was broken The additional unmentioned costs (we had to pay for lagoon access we were not told of prior to booking) They have to many of rules The house is not in front of the lagoon as shown in the pictures The hosts were rude The Wi-Fi is so slow, practically non existent

Everything

The second bedroom was uncomfortable they must change beds

Not much

Empty

The apartment was clean,cozy and nice

We didn’t receive any breakfast services

3 bedrooms setup awesome, swimming pool and beach for the kids,I wish we could be told it's R100 per person beforehand though.

The couch is too old,SUNKEN and very uncomfortable.The sliding door was also giving problems when we tried to open it. One of the windows couldn't close ,so mosquitoes were biting us at night.The gate pin that only works once was so frustrating, it would b better if they give access for the duration of the stay rather than guests being expected to call the host very time they go out. My first experience of air b n b, would appreciate extra pair of clean towels. Also can the host just come and welcome the guests on the first day

Everything was easy to access and the host was very easy to interact with im grateful and definitely going back soon 🙏 🙌

Everything was perfect

No breakfast i had to buy my own, the pleas was not bad.

1.The blanks were duty having a bad small , 2.It was going to be better if the where basics like tea coffe suger milk

i loved the location and the beach site

we had a problem with electricity , the kitchen sink and the couches weren't comfortable

There was no breakfast included he had to eat by the restaurant and order

It’s frustrating cause our didn’t deliver

The pillows were too soft for me and no options
