Mooi en rustige omgewing.

Gasvryheid was aangenaam, maar (r940) per nag was die kamer se netheid nie na wense nie. 'n Vrou se hand is nodig! Die tuin is pragtig en die rustigheid daarvan het opgemaak vir die kamer se "letdown".

Hospitality was pleasant, but (r940) per night the cleanliness of the room was not up to expectations. A woman's hand is needed! The garden is beautiful and its tranquility made up for the room's "letdown".

Stil, ontspanne omgewing alhoewel diens nie baie goed was nie.

Ons het El-Ruze bespreek omdat ons gesien het hulle het ligversorging in elke kamer. Ongelukkig het ons lugversorger glad nie gewerk nie en het niks koud gemaak nie, die gas was klaar. Ons het die eie aar gaan bra of ons kamers kon skuif omdat die kamer wat ons volgens die fotos bespreek het, glad nie die kamer is wat ons gekry het nie. Hy het ons nie laat skuif nie maar het 'n tydelike lugversorger verskaf wat ook nie gewerk het nie. Die kamer was gelukkig redelik skoon en het alles gehad wat ons benodig het.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Quiet, relaxed environment although service was not very good.

We booked El-Ruze because we saw they have light conditioning in every room. Unfortunately our air conditioner did not work at all and did not cool anything, the gas was finished. We went to see if we could move our rooms because the room we booked according to the photos is not the room we got at all. He didn't let us move but provided a temporary air conditioner that didn't work either. Luckily the room was quite clean and had everything we needed.

Friendly owners but an unsatisfactory stay.

On arrival, the people were very friendly. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in a few things. I did not receive the room I paid for, there was cat hair all over the pillows, and I'm allergic to cats. The gate motor was broken, so I did not feel safe getting in and out of my car to open the gate manually late at night. In prior communications, they stated that breakfast was included, which I did not receive.

Skoon en netjies.

Ons het 'n nabygeleë troue bygewoon en net een aand by El-Ruze oorgeslaap. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en die kamer was skoon en netjies met goeie gehalte kussings en beddegoed. Die tuine is netjies. Rudi het vir ons 'n hekafstandbeheer gegee om weer in te kom na die troue. El-Ruze is 'n ideale plek om te oornag en ek sal beslis weer van hulle gebruik maak.

Clean and tidy.

We attended a nearby wedding and only stayed one night at El-Ruze. We were kindly received and the room was clean and tidy with good quality pillows and bedding. The gardens are neat. Rudi gave us a gate remote control to re-enter after the wedding. El-Ruze is an ideal place to stay overnight and I will definitely use them again.

The rooms are too close, there's no privacy, you always hear your neighbours talking, can't enjoy your sleep till late. On booking it was said that they serve breakfast, even on people's reviews, but was amazed when told there was no breakfast.

Friendly and kind service, everything we needed, lovely breakfast too!

Tranquil and peaceful environment with a lovely outlook and some cattle! Lovely pool and space to sit outside with complimentary breakfast over the weekend, everything seems newly refurbished and very neat and cosy! Will definitely go there again if we need a breakaway! Shops and everything was close by too and was easy to find via maps. Situated on a farm, so always weary of surroundings, but was still a great time away!
