The photo gives you the impression you have a sea view. I believe that no room has a sea view. There is no air cooling. With no safety defenses in front of the windows, you cannot sleep with the window open. It was a very hot time when we visited the hotel. The location is one of the best in the world.

Nice, nice, but won't be again this time of year.
We had a great stay, slept well and the location is excellent. Would have liked a little more storage space for our clothes. Two big negatives were the parking, there is not a lot of parking in general, if you have driven and you come back there is no parking, we had to park our car at the country club @ R50. We couldn't go to the penguins AT ALL, there were rows upon rows of people all the time, would really like to go, we tried to go in for two days, but it wasn't possible, we thought the hotel would be a tag or have something that the hotel guests prefer, that's why we chose the hotel in the first place.

I would like to say a big thank you to the excellent staff at Boulders Beach Hotel. From the Kiosk, kitchen, cleaning service and reception, everyone gives their utmost to make one's stay comfortable and something to remember forever. Simonstad is a special place. And Boulders Beach Hotel is perfectly located with incredible scenery just steps away. Was a mother and son holiday that we will remember forever. I can't wait to go back. Is an absolute gem.

Excellent location, walking distance to Windmill Beach and on the doorstep of Boulders Beach, but very bumpy with little privacy.
Boulders Beach Hotel is excellently located, walking distance from Windmill Beach, on the doorstep of Boulders Beach and a few minutes' drive from other beautiful beaches and Simonstown centre. Rooms are beautiful and the large modern shower is lovely. The cleaning and maintenance is not done subtly. The management most likely expects that guests will be busy with sightseeing all day because cleaning takes place during most of the day. Rooms are not cleaned one by one and all bedding, buckets, towels, vacuum cleaners and garbage bags with rubbish are standing, lying and hanging all over the courtyard and workers are smoking, making noise and listening to the radio. The only place in my room where I had phone reception was by my bench and small table in the courtyard in front of my room door, but I couldn't sit there because it was semi-permanent, (during daylight hours) packed full of rubbish and cleaning products. There was also a blocked drain that wafted its smell into my window, despite cleaning all day. I recommend booking your days while staying at Boulders Beach Hotel and not returning to the accommodation until late afternoon. Rooms in the courtyard windows face each other so keep blinds closed for privacy.

I really expected more from a hotel located in the touristy part of Simonstad.
First of all, the room is much smaller than it looks in the pictures. The mattress on the bed is hollow, so one's back hurts at night. The soap dispenser in the bathroom was empty and there was no shower gel or shampoo in the bathroom. One window's shutter is broken, so when the wind blew at night, the window opened and closed. There is also no TV in the room. I really think Boulders Beach Hotel can improve on their service.

We had a great stay, the location of the place is perfect for the penguin experience. Couldn't be better.
The sound of people outside the rooms permeates the rooms badly, and woke us up early because they were doing repairs on the building. That's all that bothered us, if maybe they could make the rooms more soundproof at some point. The place was neat. The location is perfect and we really enjoyed the day and evening there. Nice to sit outside on the porch in the evening and listen to the penguins and watch them walk around.

We checked in late on Wednesday/ the room was as desired/ we used the cups the first night but there was no follow up the next day so then cups had not been removed or refilled.
Will be happy to book a room with a view in the future/ and would also appreciate if more information is given regarding the environment it is very isolated and if you are not from the Western Cape you come very unprepared to such a destination you don't even have a glass of water to enjoy throughout the night.

Hard to find in the dark.
The address on the website is incorrect. This is Boulders Beach Resort. Furthermore, the information was that there is no WiFi or TV. I therefore had to finish my work at home first and could only leave Durbanville at 17:00. By the time I arrived in Simonstad, it was already dark. The address is also wrong and the signal there is very weak, so my GPS could not locate the place. I searched up and down, woman-alone in the dark for over an hour, the owner was located and then called me and explained how to get there. I have already been to the place twice, but there is no signage or indication that it was the right place. Staff had already left, but my room was ready. The owner sent me the WiFi password, so I could actually have clocked in at 12:00 in the afternoon and worked from there with the lovely view of the sea. The room is comfortable, but there wasn't even a milk for my morning coffee. The above mistakes caused me a lot of unnecessary stress.

Reception was completely incompetent to serve customers.
Cleaning of rooms was not up to standard at all. Room was dirty on arrival, floor was not clean and bathroom had "hair" in bath and on floor. Everywhere in the corners of the floors were dust wools and dirt. Light bulb on bedside table was out of order. Front door has water damage and does not show well at all. Hot water in bathroom was cold two nights, and twice there was no water flow. Paving in "courtyard" is terribly uneven and difficult to walk on, simple maintenance will keep it level. One easily stumbles on the bricks. Stairs in front of hotel lights were off two nights, which is very dangerous. Emergency number or after-hours number in the evening is not staffed.

We could get much better for what we paid.
We were unfortunately very disappointed. No TV, no fridge, no view. Literally just a bed, a bath and a toilet. We specifically, when we had to choose from our many options, instead chose a place that was a little more expensive because we were only staying for 3 days we wanted a little better, we could have gotten a lot better if we had booked elsewhere for the money we paid per paid night. The 4th night we paid less in Bloubergstrand and in a beautiful place with a view, nice decor, a TV, modern fully equipped kitchen and overnight. So we regretted our choice.

Great location, accommodation perfect for our family of five.
Good base to visit attractions in and around Simonstad. Spacious and comfortable accommodation. The reception was a bit impersonal, with no contact during the two days' stay.

Out of season felt a bit unsafe, was there alone.
Unfortunately the restaurant was closed and there was no breakfast. I think it was also relatively expensive for one night.

Relaxed near the sea.
Had a lovely few days at Boulders, conveniently close to very beautiful Boulders (with penguins) beach. Very nice view from restaurant. Restaurant needs some renovation and innovative menu. Friendly staff and owners.

Since I was on a business visit, I could not enjoy everything as I would have liked, time did not allow it, but I would like to use your service there again on the next occasion, because everything was very good , neat and had no problem. Thank you very much for your kindness and I will be happy to refer you to friends and colleagues.

Kamer benodig opknapping, alles lyk oud en afgeleef, vir die prys verwag 'n mens iets beters. Enigste plus is die nabyheid van die pikkewynreservaat.

Room needs a makeover, everything looks old and worn-out, for the price one expects something better. Only plus is the fact that the penguin reserve is very close.
Room needs a makeover. Restaurant is only open for breakfast, therefore the name is misguiding. For this much money, better accommodation can be found in the area.

Disappointing.
Price and quality do not match. Although the location is good in terms of access to the beach, we were disappointed to find that our room(s) had been granted to someone else despite our reservation. We booked 2 separate rooms with a sea view, but were then assigned to a family room (without a view) where 2 adults had to sleep on cots. The price for the room is also less than what we paid for our reservation and yet we were never reimbursed for it. We also did not receive compensation or an apology for the inconvenience. Customer service in general was unsatisfactory, especially considering the cost. The unit was neat, but not completely clean and needs renovation and maintenance.

Wonderful experience at Boulders Beach.
What a fantastic place to spend the night. We were welcomed with open arms and immediately felt at home. The penguins saying good morning to us every morning and good night every night was definitely a once in a lifetime experience. We can recommend with great confidence that any traveler can spend the night here.

The accommodation is definitely of high quality, especially the view.
We arrived on Saturday afternoon (after check-out time) but were informed early that our room was ready. When it comes to the restaurant, it's a whole different story. At breakfast we waited almost half an hour for our coffee/tea and children's drinks. It only arrived after I had to complain. And the time it took to get the breakfast to the table, even after I had to complain, was TOTALLY unacceptable. Only after I started to complain were we informed that my wife could not get the breakfast she ordered as they did not have the muesli to add. The kids couldn't order waffles either.

Would be happy to recommend the lodge as our stay was pleasant despite a few niggles.
Would like to see the lodge renovated and more attention given to general cleanliness and the garden. The penguins that come to sleep in front of your door at night are very cute, but the next morning when you want to leave your room they are no longer so cute! The food was pretty good.

Neat and clean, but have seen better.
The place is very neat and clean, but I have stayed in other similar places for much less. The wooden stairs that led to my room are loose in places and there is only an arrangement on one side. If a person were to lose their balance due to the loose step, such a person could be seriously hurt, especially because the loose step is quite high.

A bit disappointing.
Although this lodge is excellently located, it actually counts against it. It is very close to the Boulders and the famous penguins, but you can't see them from the accommodation anyway. The problem, however, is the parking situation. There is no parking. But this is not the main reason why the lodge was disappointing. The night before I stayed in a guest house in Vishoek where I paid exactly the same and the quality of the accommodation was 100 times better. The tiny room offered very little privacy, as the curtains were almost transparent and anyone from the street would be able to see into my room. There were only feather pillows on the bed. With so many people suffering from allergies, I can't believe that in this day and age there are still accommodations that use feather pillows. When the curtain was closed, the plaster fell off the wall. The lamp on the bedside table (a steel structure with a bare bulb, no lampshade) shocked me when I touched it. So I just redeemed it. The loincloth closet in the room's doors opened every now and then by itself. It makes one quite startled. I think this lodge relies on their location for bookings and don't think they need to put in any further effort. I would definitely not stay here again and would not recommend it to anyone.
