Reviewed Apr 23, 2026If I am honest, I didn't like a great deal about the property. It looked ok on Booking.com but was unfortunately a terrible experience once we arrived.
The location in town is terrible, it right on the main road which the locals treat like a race track at night, it was like a scene from the movie 'Fast and Furious', revving engines, screeching tyres, and street racers down the strip. There was also quite a lot of damp around the property and the bathrooms in particular were quite run down, not terrible by any stretch, just paper stuffed into window gaps, cracked toilets, mould, low hot water temp and pressure. The worst element though was that they have longer term guests, I was told they were engineers from the solar farm. They were drunk, very loud until we confronted them at 03:30, hid the key from the external doors so the building stayed insecure throughout the night, and were just generally unpleasant. The manager said they had many complaints about them but I guess they bring a steady income for the guest house. It's a shame as we will NEVER return and I recommend anyone (especially if you have kids like we did) stay well away from this place.

Reviewed Jan 1, 2026Hot water… genuinely not much to like when you arrive to a room that is a lot smaller than you anticipate based in pictures and it smells of smoke.
Location is on the main road which is noisy. Room was next to main house of the BnB. And is very small. Room smelled of cigarettes and the bed itself had sand on it so.. wasn’t cleaned properly. Apparently the cleaner had an emergency. Overall was the worst place we’ve stayed in all our years of travelling! Couldn’t sleep at all. We woke up and tried to be positive and have the breakfast before leaving which wasn’t great, no filter coffee, yoghurt was off and the bread stale. Nevertheless we tried the omelette as we had paid R1300 for the night which incl breakfast. We managed to get to Bloemfontein but it was a struggle as both my wife and I felt unwell and given that we were fine before breakfast can only assume it had something to do with the food. Staff were friendly and tried to accommodate us and even tried to remove the smell of cigarettes in the room but it didn’t work. Unfortunately would not recommend this place/room!
