It did not accommodate our needs (self catering).

The place is listed as self catering but there are no self catering facilities.

Not impressed.

The place is not well looked after. It's better for sleep and go, not for relaxing.

Van die persone in die groep kon nie slaap die nag nie.

Eenheid 7 se badkamer was vuil, koffiebekers ou ringe binne.

Baie dankie vir jou jou terigvoer. So jammer dat van julle nie kon slaap nie. Sal in die vervolg die badkamer se vensters toe hou dat geen blare dalk kan inwaai nie. Ek het die koffie bekers vervang met nuwes.

Customer service was excellent.

Family room mattresses do not fit 5 adults. Air cooling would definitely have made a difference or at least more fans. No sink to wash dishes in. Hygiene in the shower needs attention.

Nice owners, neglected condition.

Paint peeling off walls, holes where screws were taken out in walls, not repaired. Dust etc. obviously in windowsills. Overall cleanliness not acceptable.

Lekker geslaap.

Dis 'n stil gebied. So ons het lekker geslaap maar. Die foto's op die webtuiste is nie wat jy daar sien nie. Update asb. die foto's. Die badkamerdeur kon nie toemaak nie en alhoewel dit self catering is, is daar nie 'n wasbak om skottelgoed in te was nie, als word in die badkamer se wasbak gedoen. Die stortkop spuit ook in alle rigtings. Die dubbelbedmatras raas ook baie en met klein kinders was dit 'n missie on sag te wees. Maar dis veilig en onderdakparkering met 'n toesluithek. En die eienaar is vriendelik. So as dit net bietjie ge-update of upgrade word, sal ons dit aanbeveel. Baie dankie.

Slept well.

It's a quiet area. So we slept well. The photos on the website are not what you see there. Please update the photos. The bathroom door couldn't close and although it is self catering there is no sink to wash dishes in, if done in the bathroom sink. The shower head also sprays in all directions. The double bed mattress also makes a lot of noise and with small children it was a mission to be soft. But it's safe and covered parking with a locking gate. And the owner is friendly. So if it is just updated or upgraded a bit, we would recommend it. Thank you very much.

Goeiedag Marelize,

Dankie vir die terugvoer.

Ons sal aandag geen aan die volgende:

- Afstof en protrette regskuif
- Stortkop vervang
- Foto's opdateer

Ons het 'n volledige buite kombuis en wasbak net om die draai van julle af wat beskikbaar is en was. Julle het daagliks daar verby geloop toe julle dle kamer se vullisdrom in die groot vullisdrom gaan leegmaak het.

Onvoldoende en nie skoon nie!

Beslis nie op standaard van waaraan ek gewoond is nie. Selfs bekostigbare verblyf is gewoonlik netjies en skoon. Ons het 2 kamers bespreek, een se gordyne kon nie behoorlik toe trek nie, maak nie saak hoe jy dit trek nie, lakens het mufvlekke op gehad. Ek verstaan dat koffie ens. in houertjie uitgegooi word, maar dan moet dit skoon en netjies gehou word. Daar was 'n dooie spinnekop karkas teen die muur. Al die prente teen die mure het skeef gehang, skep 'n algehele slegte beeld en ek het foto's van dit alles geneem. Kan nie net doodgepraat word nie. Blinders in tweede kamer was plek-plek stukkend en baie vol stof. Beslis nie aanbeveel nie en teleurgesteld dat dit adverteer word.

Insufficient and not clean!

Certainly not up to standard of what I'm used to. Even affordable accommodation is usually neat and clean. We booked 2 rooms, one's curtains wouldn't close properly no matter how you pull them, sheets had mold stains on them. I understand that coffee etc. thrown out in a container, but then it must be kept clean and tidy. There was a dead spider carcass on the wall. All the pictures on the walls were hanging crooked, creating an overall bad image and I took pictures of it all. Can't just be talked to death. Blinds in second room were broken in places and very full of dust. Definitely not recommended and disappointed that this is advertised.

Dit was netjies en rustig. Die eienaar het baie laat opgebly om vir ons te wag.

Die plek is skoon netjies en rustig. Groot kamer en groot badkamer. Die eienaar het laat wakker gebly om vir ons te wag en was baie hoflik. Die dubbelbed was effe ongemaklik maar verder was alles puik.

Very basic and feel the place has a lot of potential. Maybe the people need some professional help just to "jack up" the place a bit.

The rooms are neat, but very "old fashioned". There was dog poop lying around, we are animal lovers ourselves, but always make sure the mess is picked up. Lots of leaves in front of site, yes it is autumn, but feel they could have cleaned up a bit. The dining area and living room are shared with the home owners and need a lot of attention. The people are very friendly and helpful, but I really think just a little boost could help the place.

Nie op standaard nie.

Met aankoms was die nodige papierwerk nie reg nie. Het gewys ek skuld geld wat alreeds maande terug betaal was. Die een kamer het nie eers sy eie badkamer gehad nie en ons moes toe die gemeenskaplike badkamer van die eienaars gebruik. Was eerlikwaar nie 'n aangename oornag nie.

Not on standard.

On arrival the necessary paperwork was not correct. Showed I owed money that had already been paid months ago. The one room didn't even have its own bathroom and we had to use the common bathroom of the owners. Was honestly not a pleasant overnight stay.

Bedrock Guesthouse 's response

Die kamer is die oggend voordat Lizelle-hulle gekom het, skoongemaak en ek het persoonlik gaan kyk dat alles reg is. As die kamer vuil en deurmekaar was volgens haar, is dit omdat hulle dit moontlik self vuil en deurmekaar gemaak het.

Die gas noem ook dat daar die DStv was nie, wat vreemd is want al die kamers het die hotel-pakket DStv en as jy nie van die stasie hou waarop die TV is nie, kan ons dit op versoek stel op die stasie wat jy wil hê. Sy het ongelukkig nie met ons oor die DStv kom praat nie.

Die geisers word 17h00 elke middag aangeskakel, dus as sy 18h00 wou stort, sou die water heerlik warm wees.

Meer geskik vir "backpackers".

Baie klein vir gesin van 4. As gevolg van die "dry wall" mure is, is dit nie klankdig nie en is daar geen privaatheid. Die geriewe is meer geskik vir rugsakreisigers of iemand wat net 'n kamer soek. En prysgewys is dit ongeveer R350 per aand.

More suitable for "backpackers".

Very small for family of 4. Due to the "dry wall" walls, it is not soundproof and there is no privacy. The facilities are more suitable for backpackers or someone just looking for a room. And price-wise it is around R350 per night.

Voldoende.

Die ontvangs was nie baie verwelkomend nie. Geen foute met verblyf nie, dit was gemaklik. Ons moes 'n groter kamer neem, want die ander kamers was vol bespreek. Maar tydens ons verblyf daar, tot ons kennis, was daar nie ander gaste nie ... dit het vreemd voorgekom.

Sufficient.

The reception was not very welcoming. No faults with accommodation, it was comfortable. We had to take a bigger room because the other rooms were fully booked. But during our stay there, to our knowledge, there were no other guests...it seemed strange.

Hi Sandra,
Die kamer front straat toe en is ideal vir gaste wat naby hulle voertuie wil bly. Die uitleg van die kamer is sodanig dat dit `n ouerpaar en `n kind kan huisves met `n dubbelbed en `n enkelbed. Die badkamer grens aan die slaapkamer en bestaan uit `n stort, wasbak en toilet. Wat privaat is en met `n stewige deur toegemaak kan word.

Netheid : Alle kamers word nadat die gaste huistoe is vanaf die grond tot die plafon gewas. Die bedlinne word alles gewas, gestryk en weer op die beddens gesit. Die handdoeke word in Stasoft gewas dat dit nie hard is nie en lekker kan ruik.


Ligging : Bedrock is geleë in die noordelike voorstad, Bayswater. Dit is `n stil omgewing waar mens nog die voëltjies in die oggend kan hoor as jy wakker word. Dit is baie veilig en mens kan saans in die strate loop sonder om lasting geval word.


Sekuriteit : Ons het in die 15 jaar wat ons die gastehuis het, geen inbrake gehad of enige stoornis van onwelkome mense uit die strate nie. Alle kamers het diefwering op die vensters en `n sekuriteitshek voor die deur. Beide die sekuriteitshek en die kamer deur word saans gesluit. Die erf is omhein met sekuriteitsheining wat skerp is om te verhoed dat iemand kan inbreek.

Groete
