Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Very clean and comfortable.
A kitchen was provided with all equipment needed for self-catering purposes. The pool was sparkling clean!! We had a comfortable bed with very fresh linen. We really appreciated our friendly host, who provided a lot of extra information regarding the area of Constantia and Cape Town.
the Wi-fi internet connection. No Mossi-gaze on windows.
The location for us was perfect. The pool was a welcome bonus and the use of the braai was much appreciated. The accommodation had everything we needed. Loved the fish and the dog also. Oreo is just adorable.
The property was very clean and well equipped. Elzaan could not have been more friendly or helpful. Constantia village is just over the road which was very convenient.
We loved everything about the property.
No breakfast included. The location was absolutely perfect for our short stay. The bathroom quite compact with no shelf for toiletries.
Bathroom could have a shelf for toiletries.
The shopping centre next to it. The best part was leaving the accommodation earlier than planned.
The Reality of the Property: Despite being advertised as an "Entire Place," this is actually a room wedged between the host’s family home and their garage. Privacy was non-existent. There was an internal door to the host’s house located inside our bathroom with the keyhole merely covered by masking tape. In the bedroom there was a door to the garage. Furthermore, a security camera was positioned to look directly toward our room entrance, forcing us to keep curtains closed at all times. We were also never informed that other guests would be staying in another unit on the same property. Facilities & Maintenance: Pool: We arrived to find the pool green with algae. The heating system was broken (unreported by the host prior to arrival). When we complained, the host "shocked" the pool with chlorine but refused to confirm if it was safe for use, stating only, "All you need to know is that it's clean." Bathroom: The shower lacked a U-bend, causing a constant putrid smell, and the toilet cistern was broken and hissing. Noise: A loud motor in the garage ran for 2–3 hours every morning. During our short stay, both the main house fire alarm and the security alarm went off on separate mornings. Host Interaction: After lodging a formal complaint with Booking.com, the host became confrontational and dismissive of health and safety concerns, making the stay untenable. We chose to vacate early as the property was not as described and the environment became hostile. We refused a partial refund on-site to pursue a full dispute via our bank due to the severity of the misrepresentation and subsequent slanderous allegations made by the host. Final Verdict: A nightmare stay. Not recommended for those seeking privacy or the "entire place" they paid for. It is basically a room wedged between their house and their garage.
Large Room.
No bottled water and only 1 small / 1 cup coffee plunger
Gunstig gelegen, naast winkels, vlakbij Muizenberg, Hout Bay en het centrum van Kaapstad. Zelfstandige accommodatie, parkeren op eigen terrein. Vriendelijke, behulpzame host.
The host Elzaan was very nice and welcoming. She made sure I was comfortable at all times. The facilities were also very good: very comfortable bed and lots of space in the unit. Absolutely enjoyed my stay!
An excellent stay. Location is great, very comfortable. Decent facilities. Elzaan the host is very accommodating and receptive. We enjoyed our stay.
Minor issue, but im sensitive to light and the blinds/curtains are not block out from the outside lights. But not a big issue.
Stunning place to stay...close to mall and the gym. Elzaan was very accommodating and even made their braai available to me. Highly recommend.
Location fantastic
The apartment was very spacious, safe, clean, quiet and has a swimming pool. Constantia Village is only a 5 minute walk away (which has many restaurants and shops). You are also not far from the Constantia Wine Route with well known vineyards only a short drive away. The apartment has everything you need to make your stay very comfortable. The host was also very welcoming and hospitable.
Nothing really, it was great. Only suggestion is a few more hangers or a wardrobe for clothes but not really an issue.
Privacy was great and location being so close to Constantia village
Nothing
Secure, spacious, very clean & quiet accommodation.
Would’ve liked a full length mirror.
The room was very spacious and clean, with large windows letting in natural light (there are curtains for privacy too). Great location. Amazing hosts. They have good security and a lovely outdoor space as well.
Location was great and walking distance to shops and restaurants.
Improvement more than did not like; move chest of drawers a bit towards the kitchen to open plug points add a small mirror to use hairdryer also add plug for two point hairdryer. A small railing on wheels etc. to hang jackets/clothes for those staying a few nights.
It was not a good time in Cape Town, it was cold and wet but the owners could not be responsible for that. The owners supplied us with a gas heater which was very much appreciated. The gas ran out but they kindly supplied us with a new bottle of gas. The duvet was really warm, the best I have ever encountered.
To exit the property was sometimes a bit difficult as it is situated on a very busy road.
Exceptional quality of finishes and furnishings! Centrally located with easy access to attractions!
Clean and spacious.
very spacious and well fitted unit. secure parking right outside. very friendly and helpful hosts. good value. upmarket area.
difficulty in finding the house as it appears that there are two similar numbers in the street. also this is a ‘b’ number which is not noted. however this can easily be rectified by booking.com.
The room is beautiful, Clean. The hosts are Amazing people
No public transport in the area, an I got lost trying to find the address on Google
