Ubicación y el transfer al aeropuerto era muy simpático
Para empezar la habitación que nos dieron en la reserva no es la que nos encontramos cuando nos llevaron. Mala expereciancia en general. Nos llevaron a otro sitio en furgoneta porque el alojamiento tenía overbooking. El sitio parecía la casa del terror. Nos dejaron allí casi sin explicarnos nada. Las sábanas y edredones estaban sucios. Vimos cucarachas. A las 11 de la noche llego una pareja y los del alojamiento al irse nos dejaron la puerta abierta en una urbanización peligrosa, nos tuvimos que dar cuenta nosotras. Se escucha todo porque las instalaciones son muy antiguas.Les dijimos que nos vinieran a buscar a las 8:30 para el desayuno y nos escribieron y llamaron varias veces a partir de las 6 y algo de la mañana para que fueramos a desayunar antes, increíble. Luego a las 7 se presentaron allí y les dijimos que hasta las 8:30 no queríamos desayunar. Una vergüenza de sitio, no se lo recomiendo a nadie.
Very handy to the airport. Good breakfast. Free shuttle from the airport was great especially arriving in South Africa for the first time.

Proximity to the airport, very friendly staff and a lovely breakfast
Having no door to the washroom
The accommodation was basic. Coffee and tea provided and the room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Close to the airport and Fred shuttle bus.
Fir the price the accommodation was adequate.
Beautiful
A little bit of scrubbing needed in the shower floors and draining plug in bed 05
Airport transfer from the airport
That I had to pay for airport transfer to the bus terminal
I am very happy with the Lication, very easy to find. Extremely happy with the Staff. Love the rooms, one of the best I have stayed in. Very clean and well presented. Very happy and when I come back I will be staying here. Thankyou very much.
Not long enough.

Close to the airport and shuttle transport provided. Clean and comfortable rooms and a nice breakfast.
The property was a little noisy with guests congregating outside in common areas.
I was pleased with the room - it was clean and comfortable. I was even more pleased with the staff and the shuttle service to and from the airport. I arrived after hours and left again in the middle of the night, but I was in excellent hands. Thank you!
The transport to and from the airport. Place was clean.
Internet was slow to connect. I ordered food for dinner and only got it at 3am the next day.
Dove's nest guest está perto do aeroporto e tem tudo o que você precisa para ter uma noite agradável.Recomendo!!!
Poderiam melhorar o chuveiro, pouca água
Le wifi est rapide Navette gratuite toutes les heures
Tres bruyant. Les gens crient, hurlent, telephonent juste devant votre porte à toutes les heures du jour et de la nuit. Ca hurlait encore à 23h50. J’ai envoye un message whatsap a la reception (leur moyen de contact preconisé) en demandant à quelle heure je serais autorisee à dormir. On m’a laissee en « vu ». Un homme est venu tambouriner à ma porte à 2h30 du matin en me parlant d’un chargeur de telephone. A 5h du matin, ca recommençait deja à crier. Les robinets de la douche sont inversés donc j’ai cru un moment qu’il n’y avait pas d’eau chaude. Rien d’indiqué à ce sujet. Et le matin, la receptionniste a fait un gros semblant de rien et m’a demandee pourquoi je n’etais pas venue manger. J’ai quitte l’endroit 1 h plus tot que prevu. Le chauffeur de la navette qui prend son coup de fil au moment de mettre la valise dans le coffre. Donc c’est moi, solo female traveler qui, avec un sac à dos de 20kg sur les epaules, a mis une valise de 23 kg dans le coffre pendant qu’il retournait s’asseoir en mode princesse derriere son volant. Si ils avaient souhaite que je ne revienne jamais, ils n’auraient pas agi autrement.
Perfect
Wonderful stay, wonderful place and staff
Very close tp airport
Poco
La struttura, i bagni vecchi,non esiste il miscelatore,la colazione non era delle migliori,nel letto mancava il copri materasso
The rooms are spacious and clean.

Convenient location to the airport. The staff are very helpful and responsive to queries. Polite and helpful assistance is offered. The breakfast was very good.
The noise of late night arrival of guests but this can’t be helped.
Location to airport. Free airport transfer
セキュリティが不安、シャワーのお湯が出ないことがある、等はありましたが、それでも綺麗で広くて、朝食の量、空港送迎無料を考えると安かったです。 夕飯もあり、追加料金150ランドで食べれます。 とても大きく2人で一つで十分なサイズですし、美味しかったです。 クレカ払い可能。 トイレは紙が流せる。 部屋に冷蔵庫、ヒーター、コーヒー紅茶、ケトル、レンジはあり。 空港送迎は無料 値段を考えたらかなり綺麗だし、広いと思います。 セキュリティを気にしない、寒い時でなければ、良い宿だと思います。
ヨハネスブルクでなければ良い宿だと思いますが、セキュリティが不安でした。 部屋の入口が窓で割れば入れる。 ゲートが一つのみで、隙を見たら入れそう。 電気柵がなく、登れば入れそう。 金庫もなし 洗濯サービスはなし。 キッチンなし。 エアコンが無く、ヒーターも小さいため、冬は寒いです。 また2人目からシャワーのお湯が出なくなり、水シャワーになりました。
Vicino all'aeroporto, ci hanno accompagnato a riconsegnare l'auto a noleggio e portati in aereoporto
Bagno non in camera, camera dove ci stavano a malapena 3 letti, coperte bucate struttura fatiscente
Close to airport and offer feee shuttle transfer to and from the airport
In the early morning, people outside are noisy
Vlakbij de luchthaven, met transfer en ontbijt erbij. Ruime kamers. Goede prijs. Fijn voor 1 nacht.
De hele nacht brandde er buiten licht, de gordijnen hielden dit helaas niet helemaal tegen (kieren). Daardoor de hele nacht veel licht in de kamer.
Staff are very friendly, make you feel at home
The flexibility for early check in
The staff were rude. Even after some of our items got missing in the rooms, the staff was very dismissive and did not respect our request of only having house keeping when there is one of us around the facilities
Nice breakfast.
It was very cold.
Schone bedden en lakens, schone baddoeken, schone kamers, redelijk ontbijt. Locatie dichtbij de airport, shuttlebus.
Hele slechte wifi, de meeste tijd deed de wifi niet. De douche ruimte zit vol met schimmel. Er is maar 1 restaurant op loop afstand.
Dinner was great and staff are very friendly, wonderful hosting and shuttle services available that arrived on time for our flight without having to follow up. Hot shower available and heater for the cold nights.
Tout - particulièrement la navette aller et retour à l'aéroport.

The staff! Very helpful.
Breakfast is very basic and you can't help yourself, rather they put the food on your plate (rationed). A drunk man banged at my door so hard at night it scared me.

Literally everything
Breakfast delicious. Not the ricoffee. I expected filter coffee with breakfast. Tomato sauce on table and small jams. Toaster to do in toast.
Airport bus was on time and hostess, charming and welcoming. Room was clean and comfortable, and personal helpful. Breakfast was plenty and delicious!
Maybe a bigger post or meeting point at the airport, to announce Dove's nest. We momentarily got lost and could not meet our hostess immediately after clearing customs.
It is a very basic, affordable overnight spot, great for one night if one needs to be close to the airport. The free shuttle service is ideal.
Breakfast was sufficient, but a tad more basic than I expected.
Affordable accommodation in close proximity to the airport. Friendly and helpful staff. Good food.
Comfortable Close to airport Breakfast was good
Good location closer to airport. Good breakfast. Had heater in the room. Good complimentary airport shuttle
Furniture in the room could be upgraded
We did not like the accommodations at all. The facility was extremely dirty, run-down and the staff were rude and unhelpful. The facility was so bad that we didn’t even stay. We booked another hotel that night and left.

Shuttle didn't pick me up. The deadbolt and chain lock to front door were broken. Had to spend 274 rand for taxi. Tiny heater in room is useless. Room super old need's renovation. Didn't feel safe on premises. Contacted marketing director about problems never responded.
Great hotel, few minutes away from OR Tambo airport. Friendly staff, great breakfast and a shuttle is provided to and from the airport.
That it is not far from the airport the convenience is good The water was hot (shower) The garden gentleman was very sweet
The rooms looked not well kept The bedding wasn't that expected in a lodging facility The room overall looked very old, it was not worth the money paid for it
Prima voor overnachting als tussenstop op Joburg. Diner aan de overkant bij Hotel.
Geen idee
Proche de l’aéroport
The breakfast was good.
The airport pick up was a disaster, the person was not given my flight details and I had a hard time finding her. The wifi signal in my room was not good
Transfer to airport, clean room with fridge, microwave, kettle, heater, fan & extra blanket.. Very friendly staff and delicious breakfast.
So close to airport Excellent free collection and drop off Great value Good for the seasoned traveller
Proximity to the airport
Its close to the airport
EVERYTHING!!! Especially the fact that their communication is extremely LOW. I had requested the shuttle to pick me up from the airport but that didn’t happen had to get a taxi, and all I got was “Oh those taxi guys are so greedy why wouldn’t they take you to our driver? This was the front office representative speaking like it’s the taxi drivers responsibility to push business their way. As hosts they really need to start working on pleasing their customers and fixing their place up. 1st incident is, the main French door to the room does not lock from the inside, one of the staff was of help as she helped me with this issue among others which I will not disclose but It’s not as it seems once you are in there, it’s clean but the infrastructure needs attention yet they say it’s a new unit. Also after requesting a fully functional shower I got the opposite a clogged shower! There are 2 bright lights outside the room (attached photos) and they were lit the whole night through and of course I didn’t sleep. They need better beds you can’t be laying in a sinking ship. Then in the morning just before the 5am shuttle I asked the driver to help me with my 3 big baggage’s as I was upstairs they have no elevator, and he says NO I need to ask the security personnel pointing in whatever direction in the darkness as he can’t do it now, mind you he only had one guest in the shuttle he had just one piece of luggage that was already stowed in - it’s the arrogance for me that irritated me the most and at 5am to a guest - Really? This review truly doesn’t explain the extent in which I had to just deal with this location after blind booking and not reading the bad reviews and the no refund policy. At this point I truly regret no going for my usual safe haven in transit - The GARDEN COURT they are professional and deliver what they promise no shuttle stress they will go out of their way to please the guest.

Between a 1 to 5 star, it will be rated as a two star
Dichtbij luchthaven, bewaakte parking, nachtwakker laat je binnen. Heel lekker ontbijt. Warm water. Zeer lekker ontbijt
In juli wat koud. Badkamer lijkt me niet echt hygienisvh
Friendly staff. Everything was clean. Convenient location close to airport with free and flexible shuttle service. Breakfast was okay.
Overall too expensive for what you get, despite okay-ish breakfast and free airport shuttle.
Location, shuttle and staff
No shower in bathroom, bed not great
Close to airport and they offered a very efficient shuttle service.
Airport pick up and drop off as well as registration at the reception went very well, and hotel staff were friendly. The rooms were clean.

It was warm and clean. The service was exceptional. They accommodated all our needs. The staff was friendly too, the driver , the receptionist, the cleaners.
The WiFi was a bit of a problem
Helpful, efficient and friendly staff. Manager Ms Olga deserves the highest commendation for her professionalism, flexibility and customer-centred hospitality. Chef was awesome. Love their simple homecooked meals. Highly recommended
Very comfortable room, lots of hot water. Delicious breakfast. Transfer from the airport, and return journey for onward flight next morning. Free transfers. Friendly staff. I rebooked at Doves Nest for my return journey, again excellent.
Nothing
The only good thing was how close the guest house was to the airport.
I do not have enough words to express my disappointment. No hot water after a long flight, terrible staff, no amenities (not that I could use them with no hot water), dirty towels and beds, bathroom curtain was falling off it's rail, no in-room heating (I was given a tiny heater), no food unless you get there before the cafeteria food sells out (when?), no options for additional shuttles if you miss the hourly one (I had to pay for an Uber to take me to the airport to not miss my flight). Overall, would not recommend, go literally anywhere else, even if its more expensive, do not give this establishment your money.
Friendly staff, perfect location for a layover. Shuttle service driver is very professional and friendly.
Nothing.
Good value for money
Shuttle service, breakfast
Close to the airport and has shuttles
The room was a container which is cold and has no heating. It is very cold in Johannesburg.

Airport drop on free
Worst Bathroom, Noise with some construction work
I suppose it is cheaper than other hotels in the area, but then again, those are proper hotels. The shuttle is a perk, but I think the shortcomings of staying at this place outweigh the benefit it provides.
I didn't like the fact that the walls to my room were literally an inch thick, and I didn't like the fact that the geyser for my room didn't seem to be turned on. The water never turned on, and I was unable to shower. I also didn't like how, in the middle of winter, the windows don't actually fully close.
Close to the airport.
The receptionist was unfriendly and impolite. The internet connection was bad.
Beautiful place
Location Breakfast was okay
The Receptionist was not helpful,lacked accountability to the mistake that happened on their side The hall we slept in was cold,uncomfortable beds,no extra blankets.it was just a horrible experience to go through We booked a room but was given a hall,probably used mostly by backpackers
Very accommodating staff. Chauffeured to Airport
Nothing
Friendly staff, readily available convenient shuttle service
Coakroaches
Location - near the airport
Room was in outside temporary building with an unstable floor. We requested a different room and got one in a brick building with proper floor. Staff was unresponsive. Heater looked like it was not safe to use. Door did not lock properly, only safety gate could lock. TV channels limited. Booked for 2 people, guest house thought it was only for 1.
Proximity to the OR Thambo airport - it was literally a 3 minute drive. Free shuttle and breakfast was provided as part of the cost.
The pictures of the rooms on the booking.com website do not show you the other not-so-great rooms that they put you in when they are fully booked. We were put in some rooms in the back made from cargo containers that were not very nice and not worth the amount we paid.
Close to the airport and the shuttle was on time
Overall service wat great.
All in order
Beautiful big family room with lounge. Clean, friendly staff. Delicious breakfast.
good
I forgot my money when I returned to get it was stolen
Hyvä aamiainen
Hieman nuhruinen. Hinta laatu ok ja kuljetus lentokentältä sujui sovitusti.
Very kind, competent and friendly staff. Lovely garden/surrounding with lots of plants and places to relax. A special thanks to the driver with a very well maintained/clean minibus.
