The unit was beautiful, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The fireplace and electric blanket kept the winter cold at bay and the comfortable bed was great for sleeping. Many thanks to the friendly hostess who made an effort to help us with accommodation at the last minute. I would definitely recommend A Hilltop.

Will not return to the place.
Neat and clean, but customer's needs are not taken care of. The room I booked was suddenly unavailable. The government group booking got priority. The small cozy room that I specifically chose to lie on the bed and watch TV with the fireplace I was not contacted or asked if I would be interested in the 4-room unit with stairs. I would rather have canceled my booking. I did not get what I booked or paid for.

Went out of their way!
My husband and I first booked another place in Swellendam on our honeymoon, but it was so dirty and unpleasant there that we checked out after the first night. I then booked with A Hilltop early in the morning and let them know of our predicament, and they were fantastic! We were able to check in earlier and there was even a flower heart on our bed! This is the type of service that you remember for years and that you can't stop talking about. Thank you very much, Lana and team!

Good stay, but disappointing management.
We were barely welcomed or told to decide where we wanted to eat so she could book. We were taken to our room which was not the room we had booked. We specifically asked for a room with a fireplace, which she also confirmed for us in an email, but when we arrived one of her workers was staying in that room. He had to vacate immediately so they could clean the room for us. We decided to just explore the town and enjoy lunch so they could clean it up properly and fix it. We did not see the manager again for the next 2 days.

Fantastic, friendly, helpful and to be recommended.
The receptionist received us very kindly even though it was already after 20:00 in the evening. She gave us a map with all attractions in Swellendam. She recommended us some restaurants, gave us the menus to read and decide where we wanted to eat. And when we had decided, she also made another reservation for us. The rooms are clean and very tidy. The bathrooms were also very clean and tidy. The environment where it is located is very beautiful and the views must be experienced. You just feel at home when you spend the night there. We would definitely recommend it to anyone and we would also definitely make a reservation there again if we go to the Cape again from the Netherlands.

Very disappointing.
The person at reception was very incompetent and did not know how to receive guests. Rooms were unkempt and not clean. You get the feeling that everything is half done, and that the work on the place still needs to be done.
