Uitstekende verblyf.

Elmo was uitstekend en ongelooflik behulpsaam. Die kamer was netjies en gemaklik. Naby genoeg aan die strand en winkels.

Very well located and very safe.

Moldy and Doom smell in the rooms. Was not properly cleaned whereas I have requested it to be cleaned as I have allergies. We actually booked out a night before due to the moldy smell.

Place was dirty. Owners enter into your room without communicating to guests first. No Doom to spray or kill insects.

Parking is bit small.

Blu Bed & Breakfast 's response

Hi Traville,
Our rooms get cleaned on a daily basis. Over weekends it is self-catering. Due to our water crisis, everyone has a problem with ants. That gets monitored on a daily basis.
As the owner of the property, I have the right to go into the room. For your information, I went into the room to switch off all the lights in the room that you left on after you left for the function. I asked you so nicely to conserve energy.
And secondly, I was looking for my second key if you can recall.
Regarding the security, there is enough parking behind a security gate and no non-paying are permitted on the premises.
Thank you for your review.
Regards,
Elmo

It was a very pleasant stay, thank you.

The room was very comfortable and we did enjoy our time there. We did not manage to cook in our room as it would have been better to have a separate kitchenette with more kitchen items. We would have liked to have breakfast included even as a takeaway. Thank you.

We had a bit of an unfortunate stay at Blu Bed.

The first unit we were given had quite a bit of cockroaches in the kitchen. We complained to the owner and he then just brought us some Doom on the first night which didn't seem to do much to them. The next morning it was worse and it seemed to be all over. I wanted to move out the next day, but couldn't find any alternative accommodation in PE. It was fully booked all over. Then the guest house owner offered another unit that we could move to until Monday when we finally left.

Blu Bed & Breakfast 's response

This was a totally isolated problem, and it was sorted out the following day. The whole unit was treated.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Netjies, gerieflik, veilig.

Ek en my seun het daar oornag en ek kan met vrymoedigheid mense aanbeveel om daar tuis te gaan. Is 'n stil en rustige omgewing. Ons wou braai en Elmo het uit sy pad gegaan om te sorg dat ons alles het en gemaklik is.

My son and I spent the night there and I can confidently recommend people to stay there. Is a quiet and peaceful environment. We wanted to barbecue and Elmo went out of his way to make sure we had everything and were comfortable.

Kamer was ruim en skoon. Net 2 koffie sakkies en geen melk! Let wel, geen ontbyt ingesluit!

Met aankoms is ons herinner dat die uitstaande bedrag betaal moet word en na 3 ure kon Elmo nie onthou dat ons moet betaal nie. Geen kwitansie is gegee nie, so my besigheid het geen bewys!. Tydens ons gesprek oor vertrek het sy foon gelui en ek is net daar gelaat en het nie geweet wat op vroeg vertrek met sleutels te maak nie. Het maar in buiteposbus gelos en gehoop dis gekry. Kamer 2 is op hoek en in "traffic" na ander kamers. Parkering is ook nie na wense! Swembad was ook groen en nie gebruik. Ons het lekker gebly en lekker geslaap maar, EISH!

Room was spacious and clean. Just 2 coffee bags and no milk! Note, no breakfast included!

On arrival we were reminded that the outstanding amount had to be paid and after 3 hours Elmo could not remember that we had to pay. No receipt was given so my business has no proof!. During our conversation about leaving, his phone rang and I was just left there not knowing what to do with keys on an early departure. Just left it in an outside mailbox and hoped it was found. Room 2 is on the corner and in "traffic" to other rooms. Parking is also not to be desired! Pool was also green and unused. We had a nice stay and slept well but, EISH!

We were a couple of two, therefore we thought that we going to be placed under one roof with separate bed rooms. Our rooms were in different units.

I can recommend the place to elderly people, we were not allowed to use the pool, bring visitors, no parties. So the place is quiet and far from where our relatives stay. The towels were not in good condition, the host was not prepared for our stay, the were no coffee and the other unit did not have toilet paper, we had to ask for everything.

Blu Bed & Breakfast 's response

Dear Amanda,
All guesthouses have their rules and regulations to abide by. To say the the pool was out of bounds is totally not true.
Regarding parties on the premises, we have had too many problems in the past. That is why we do not allow it.
It is normally the non-paying guests that can't behave. It is also unfair toward the other paying guests that are wanting the peace and quiet they are paying for.
The rates at the moment are self-catering due to COVID and that means the prices are very low to acommodate that. You get a welcoming cup of coffee and after that it is self-catering. Toilet paper is supplied for normal use. It gets checked on a daily basis. All towels are new, so I do not know what condition you are talking about.
Hope you have a better understanding of how most guesthouses operate.
Kind Regards

Parkering met groot voertuie is moeilik in die erf. Plekkie te klein vir 4 volwassenes. Eenheid nr. 4.

Onderste bunk bed is stukkend en matras moes op die grond gesit word.

Uitstekende keuse!

Ek sal Blu Bed & Breakfast enige tyd aanbeveel en gaan verseker weer daar tuisgaan. Die gasheer doen soveel moeite met al die gaste en gaan uit sy pad om almal te help en gemaklik te maak. Sulke goeie diens kry mens nie maklik nie. Dankie Elmo en Blu Bed & Breakfast - ons sien julle volgende jaar verseker weer!

I would recommend Blu Bed & Breakfast anytime and will definitely stay there again. The host makes so much effort with all the guests and goes out of his way to help and make everyone comfortable. You don't get such good service easily. Thank you Elmo and Blu Bed & Breakfast - we will definitely see you again next year!
