Rustig, mooi en maklik om te kry.

Ek kom weer terug. Ek het hier kom oorbly vir die Somerset Landbou skou. Ek het eers 22:00 daar aangekom, maar was nog steeds vriendelik ontvang. Aloma House sit op die Suid-Oostelike kant van die dorp, weg van alles af, so dis rustig en mooi. Dis privaat, die kamer is gemaklik en alles wat jy nodig het, is daar. Almal loop maar deur onder beurtkrag en ongelukkig het hulle kragopwekker nie gewerk toe ek daar was nie, maar ten minste het hulle boorgatwater, so jy gaan nie sonder water nie. Ek het nou die plek gekry waar ek sal kom bly elke slag wat ek in Somerset-Oos is.

Quiet, beautiful and easy to find.

I will come back again. I came to stay here for the Somerset Agricultural Show. I didn't get there until 22:00, but was still warmly received. Aloma House sits on the South Eastern side of town, away from everything, so it's peaceful and beautiful. It's private, the room is comfortable and everything you need is there. Everyone just walks through under load and unfortunately their generator wasn't working when I was there, but at least they have borehole water so you don't go without water. I have now found the place I will come to stay every time I am in Somerset East.

Unpleasant.

At the price they were charging it was lacking a lot of amenities. It's winter and I had to ask for electric blankets in the other room as 1 bed didn't have 1. The next night I discovered that my electric blanket didn't work as I did not use it the previous night. I was working from my room doing admin and came out of my room during the day to find out that all paths to my vehicle were blocked by sprinklers. Screaming for assistance but nobody around, I ended up having to run through the sprinklers with paperwork, which was ridiculous as they knew I was there.

It was great, although it was a very cold weekend but it feels as if I was still in North West, the warmth/heat inside the room.

Wish I could have been there for a few more days. I won't mind booking at Aloma House again and again when I visit Somerset East.

I went for a race and was disappointed in the room given.

My TV did not work, there was no coffee (old and hard in the bottle) no milk, no WiFi in the room. I appreciate that I was allowed after the run to go back for a shower, but I did expect better and would have paid more if I had known what I was going to get.

Aloma House 's response

Rob, I do apologize for this bad room, it was not at Alomahouse as we were fully booked and that was the only accommodation available in Somerset East. The landlady ensured me that everything was neat and fresh. I will never ask her again to help out because it is clear she does not know how a guesthouse room should be for special guests.

Somerset East is somewhat off the beaten track. Having to make the visit, we were fortunate to choose an ideally located, super B&B establishment Aloma House.

Pragtige gastehuis in 'n interessante omgewing.

Hierdie is regtig 'n mooi gastehuis in 'n lieflike tuin, met gedeeltelike uitsig op die berge rondom Somerset-Oos. Ek het baie lekker gebly, maar sou gehou het van 'n tafel en stoel in die kamer sodat mens daar kon sit en skryf.
