Naby die aarbeiplaas, bietjie uit die roesmoes van die dorp, vriendelike ontvangs.

Skoon en netjies.

Die badkamer se lig het nie gewerk nie, maar was dadelik herstel. Die ketel was stukkend, maar is vinnig herstel. Die eetgerei en glasie was nie voltallig nie, en parkering was allokeer, maar iemand anders het daarop parkeer. Een aand het ons glad nie parkering gehad nie.

Clean and tidy.

The bathroom light did not work, but was fixed immediately. The boiler was broken, but was quickly repaired. The cutlery and glasses were not full, and parking was allocated, but someone else had parked on it. One night we had no parking at all.

Regtig nie 'n oorblyplek wat ek kan aanbeveel nie.

Die yskas was vuil, binne en buite. Die vloer langs die yskas is net so vuil. TV uiters swak opvangs. Slegs TV 1 & 2. Die kamer het nie vars geruik nie ou rook? Een van die gaste het op die patio gesit en kettingrook, ten spyte van kennisģewing/borde wat sê: Geen rook op patio nie!

Really not a place to stay that I can recommend.

The fridge was dirty, inside and out. The floor next to the fridge is just as dirty. TV extremely poor reception. Only TV 1 & 2. The room didn't smell fresh old smoke? One of the guests was sitting on the patio and chain smoking, despite notices/signs saying: No smoking on patio!

Swak diens.

By aankoms was niemand by ontvangs nie, die yskas was nie aangeskakel in blyplek met aankoms nie, een deur nie slot aangehad nie en kon nie toemaak nie, kluis was buite werking, skoonmaakdienste pateties, elke dag met handdoeke gesukkel, laaste dag geen toiletpapier gehad nie, bestuur was glad nie betrokke nie, daar is geen instandhouding in blyplek nie, sal nie aanbeveel nie.

Poor service.

On arrival there was no one at reception, the fridge was not switched on in accommodation on arrival, one door did not have a lock and could not close, safe was out of order, cleaning services pathetic, struggled with towels every day, last day no toilet paper no, management was not involved at all, there is no maintenance in accommodation, would not recommend.

African Sun is situated in a lovely, peaceful rural area. Wonderfully quiet space to relax.

African Sun Guest House is a little gem, situated just outside of George - close to Redberry Farm - home of one of the largest Hedge Mazes in Africa. The flat we stayed in was very clean and tastefully decorated with a nautical theme. A few items of crockery and cutlery in the kitchen could do with replacing and there weren't enough bath towels for us all, but on the whole it was a lovely, relaxing and peaceful place to stay. I would definitely recommend it to friends and family as a place to stop over en route to George or another area close by. Thank you for a great break away.

Gerieflike verblyf.

Die akkommodasie was regtig waarde vir geld. Woonstel akkommodasie was netjies, skoon en goed ingerig. Enigste probleem was dat daar niemand was om ons te ontvang nie. Moes omtrent 20 minute rondloop en iemand soek net om te verneem dat die dame personeel weggeneem het. Sekerlik moes sy seker maak wanneer ons inklok en net laat weet dat sy nie daar gaan wees nie.

Comfortable stay.

The accommodation was really value for money. Apartment accommodation was neat, clean and well furnished. Only problem was that nobody was there to receive us. Had to walk around for 20 minutes to find someone just to learn that the lady had taken the staff away. She should have made sure when we were checking in and just told us that she wouldn't be there.

African Sun Guest House 's response

Check-in time was confirmed by yourself between 5 and 5:30. I had waited till 5:30 but when you did not arrive I had to drop staff members off due to the heavy fires and their accommodation is 5 min away so I went and came straight back, I apologise for the inconvenience caused.

It's acceptable for one night stay. Not visiting for a week. Very small and cramped. Communal kitchen very small. Fan in room makes noise and toilet leaks.

Hulle moet net die kamers meer modern maak vir gaste en meer kindervriendelik.

Lugversorging, DStv, groter kamers.

Nie verwagting gehaal nie.

Ek en my verloofde het 'n aand spandeer by African Sun Gastehuis, en was teleurgesteld om te sien wat ons gekry het vir die prys wat ons betaal het. Ons het gearriveer 15:00 om 'n leë kantoor te vind. Ons moes self ons sleutel en kamer soek. Die kamer was netjies en bed was gemaklik, alhoewel glad nie klankdig nie. Ons kon als hoor wat die gaste langs ons doen en kon selfs hoor hoe hul snork deur die aand. Die waaier in die dak moet ook vervang word, baie onstabiel en lyk asof dit enige oomblik gaan afval. Die volgende oggend was daar geen warm water nie, so ons moes koud stort. Ons wou kantoor inlig, maar weereens was niemand op diens nie. Ek wil byvoeg dat as daar aandag gegee word aan 'n paar goedjies in die kamer kan gaste gemaklik en lekker daar slaap, maar hulle moet verseker na hul pryse kyk vir wat mens kry. Vir die prys wat ons betaal het is daar baie beter opsies om van te kies.

Did not meet expectations.

My fiancé and I spent a night at African Sun Guest House, and were disappointed to see what we got for the price we paid. We arrived at 3pm to find an empty office. We had to find our key and room ourselves. The room was tidy and bed was comfortable, although not soundproof at all. We could hear what the guests next to us were doing and could even hear them snoring throughout the evening. The fan in the roof also needs replacing, very unstable and looks like it will fall off at any moment. The next morning there was no hot water, so we had to take a cold shower. We wanted to inform the office, but again no one was on duty. I would like to add that if attention is paid to a few things in the room, guests can sleep comfortably and comfortably, but they should certainly look at their prices for what you get. For the price we paid there are much better options to choose from.

Lekker gekuier en dit baie geniet. Die gastehuis laat jou baie tuis en gemaklik voel.

'n Rustige, pragtige area om in te ontspan. Baie vriendelike bestuur en personeel. Die pragtige groot tuin is ideaal vir kinders om lekker buite te speel en die lekker lang stoep waar mens lekker kan ontsnap met 'n beker koffie is 'n wenner.
