Beautiful and value for your money.

The staff members were super friendly. The sunset views were beautiful from the balcony. We loved the location, the safety of the area, and the fact that the beach is a stone's throw away from the accommodation. Loved the breakfast and everything about our stay.

Fantasties!

Mariane was hartlik en gasvry en het geen moeite ontsien om ons tuis te laat voel nie! Ons is vreeslik bederf met die lekkerste etes! Puik diens!

Vriendelike professionele en pragtige netjies ruim verblyf.

Alles wat ek mens nodig het. Beveel dit 100% aan vir ander gaste. Mariane en haar span vriendelike mense en ons baie gemaklik laat voel. Uitstekende diens, kos is voortreflik, kamers word baie mooi skoon gemaak. Alles wat n mens nodig het bied hulle aan. Ek sal weer en weer by hulle inboek en oorbly en beveel dit met 'n oop en eerlike gemoed aan vir enige iemand wat belang stel.

I will not book with eden or africa again.

If your breakfast is until 10:00 then serve it until 10:00 you don't invite all your friends to a guest house and play mesque until 3 o'clock in the morning. I know it was old years but it's still a guest house..

Baie gasvry.

Sou net graag 'n ketel in my kamer wou hê, maar die gasvryheid en netheid het beslis opgemaak daarvoor. Die uitstekende ontbyt elke oggend was 'n wenner.

Very poor client service.

We reserved a room online which advertised WiFi, a hairdryer and TV. Upon checking in, we noted that the room did not have WiFi, no hairdryer and the TV was not working. The bathroom was missing tiles (it was being worked on) and the light to the bathroom is in the hallway (need to exit the room to get to the bathroom light switch). We were informed verbally that breakfast is served from 7 - 10am. Upon ariving for breakfast the next morning, we were notified that breakfast is no longer being served, due to a sign in the room that noted that the time for breakfast is from 7 - 9am. This was at 9:01am! Upon disagreeing, we were served breakfast. We then noticed that the toilet is blocked and requested to be moved to another room. Upon return from our outing for the day we were moved to another room, but the air conditioner was switched off. We were unable to find any staff on the premises to bring this to their attention and decided to rather book out and find another place to stay. I found some of the staff on site to be unprofessional, and it is such a pity because Melkbos is a magical place. I strongly advise against staying at this establishment.

Eden of Africa Guest Lodge 's response

Good day Helouise,

Thank you for your feedback.

The room does have Wi-Fi, and does contain a hairdryer. All rooms have signage to explain the times of when breakfast is served and laundry facilities. Of course some clients do sleep in late and providing they are not too late passed 9am we be pleased to still serve breakfast.When you were having breakfast in the morning, you were asked if everything was ok in the room, your response was "Yes, only the TV does not play". Our reply was that once the room was vacant we will look into the matter.

We agree the TV was defective therefore we upgraded your room, free of charge.

After breakfast you went back into the room, just before you were leaving to go out for the day, you reported that the toilet was blocked. My reply to you was that we have never had a problem but we will deal with the blockage and see what the cause was. The toilet was blocked due to too much toilet paper being used and put in the toilet. This blockage was dealt with as soon as it was bought to our attention. On your return we explained what caused the blockage and asked that you do not to put too much toilet paper in the toilet.

As much as we tried to accommodate you and make your stay pleasant, you decided on your own to vacate the premises and find accommodation elsewhere without giving us the full opportunity to rectify the problems you were experiencing; as you have detailed here more issues than at the guest house. We did send you an email on the following Monday to ask what the issues were, to which we received no reply apart from this one.

Nooit weer nie. Dit was koud en onpersoonlik.

Met aankoms was ons beïndruk gewees maar dit het nie so gebly nie. Lugversorging was twee keer afgesit terwyl ons in die kamer was. Ons het nie een keer koffie of tee in ons kamer ontvang nie, net 'n boks met suiker in. Een oggend ontbyt bestel en 20 minute gewag en personeel het net verdwyn en niemand het om verskoning gevra nie. Ontbyt het baie lank gevat om bedien te word. Ons het ons klere laat was en moes heeltyd vra vir dit en ons moes nog vol betaal al het hulle my man se gholfbroek gevlek. Parkering is ook 'n probleem. Dit was 'n koue atmosfeer en ons het baie onwelkom gevoel. Ons is nie gevra het ons lekker geslaap of is alles nog reg nie. Ons het die verblyf nie geniet nie dit was koud en ons het gevoel soos studente in 'n losieshuis. Onpersoonlik verby.

Never again. It was cold and impersonal.

On arrival we were impressed but it didn't stay that way. Air conditioning was turned off twice while we were in the room. We never once received coffee or tea in our room, only a box with sugar in it. One morning ordered breakfast and waited 20 minutes and staff just disappeared and no one apologized. Breakfast took a very long time to be served. We had our clothes washed and had to keep asking for it and we still had to pay in full even though they stained my husband's golf pants. Parking is also a problem. It was a cold atmosphere and we felt very unwelcome. We were not asked if we slept well or if everything was still okay. We did not enjoy the stay it was cold and we felt like students in a boarding house. Impersonal over.

Baie netjiese en skoon omgewing, uitstekende personeel.

Baie aangename verblyf. 'n Waaier of lugversorger sal 'n groot pluspunt vir die kamer wees, asook meer TV kanale. Ontbyt elke oggend was uitstekend. Oor die algemeen het ons heerlik gebly en is daar goed na ons omgesien.

Marianne was wonderlik, behulpsaam en baie vriendelik.

Ongelukkig was daar herstelwerk aan die kamer gedoen wat nog nie klaar was nie. Dit was buite die beheer van die gastehuis, maar die alternatieve reëlings was meer as voldoende. Dankie.

Marianne was wonderful, helpful and very friendly.

Unfortunately, there were repairs done to the room that were not yet finished. This was beyond the control of the guest house, but the alternative arrangements were more than adequate. Thank you.
