There was no drying cloth and washcloth in the kitchen. We deferred to DSTV, and both problems were fixed after we reported them. WiFi was not available, a big disappointment. Understandable if signal from the provider was a problem.

Hi daar Adri.
Jammer oor die klein ongerief, ek is bly dat my personeel vinnig diens gelewer het. Yes, die internet was uit vir 7 dae en dit het ons 21ste-eeu lewe baie gedemp. Jammer daaroor, maar soos jy tereg sê, dis ons verskaffers en ons kon niks aan die saak doen nie.

Functional overnight facility.
The unit we stayed in was a little neat with an extra mattress in the living room - as if it was being used as a storage space. My husband and I slept on single beds. We have traveled a lot recently and now compare it to other overnight places in this price range. We thought the place might need a modern makeover. However, the staff were friendly and helpful.

Die huis is reeds jare terug gebou en kamer se uitleg het verander. Die krag punt is wel nie by die Spiel nie maar net om die hoek van dit.
Ook was dit Covid19. Ons dorp is baie ver van alles af weg en glo my ek het gaan warm komberse soek en hier is niks te koop in hierdie dorp nie. So ja, 'n bietjie ongerief vir julle maar ek het geen ander opsie gehad nie.
Hoop om julle weer te sien

Good day,
Thank you for your review.
Firstly I would like to apologise for the inconvenience. Our prices are all quoted without breakfast and I personally made this agreement with you. I had to leave and my staff did not know. My mistake. They immediately resolved the problem with Lekkerslaap and with you and the next morning phone call was to confirm if we still await you.
We try our best to make everybody happy and to treat everybody equally. With internet these days everyone can name and shame a family business like mine operating for 25 years giving our best to clients to make sure they are happy and that we have food on our table, without thinking of the damage you are doing with not stating the whole situation and without understanding that a deal like this with breakfast included does not make me any profit. I have made contact with you personally on email without any reply. We tried to communicate with you.
I work 05h30 to 00:00 every day Sunday to Sunday to make all my clients happy. Please state the whole situation in your next review and also reply to an owners apology via email.
Thanks,
Konrad

Old and shabby.
Due to the fact that WiFi was not available in the room I was checked in, the receptionist moved me to a room closer to the office. The room is old, shabby. The bedding, curtains, carpets and towels are old, thin and frayed. The price for the shabby room remained the same as for the room I had initially booked. The area is also very "dodgy". Worst accommodation experience ever! And I travel every week for work.

Goeie dag,
Ek is jammer dat u ondervinding so uitgedraai het. Ons plek word elke jaar gradeer en ek peprsoonlik hou my hand op die plek. Ek stem saam daar is wel kamers wat aandag nodig het maar daar is baie ander kamers om van te kies waar u wel Wi-Fi gaan kry. Ons adverteer ook nie Wi-Fi in kamers nie, ons het 'n publieke area waar u wel die gerief kan gebruik en dis wat ek adverteer. Ook so het u die geleendheid gehad om enige van my 12 ander kamers te kies na u keuse wat op goeie standaard is.
Ons area is ook nie dodgy nie. Springbok is baie veilig en Elkoweru is gelee op 'n baie rustige area. Ons het nie probleme hier nie. Hierdie is nie die stad nie, dis Namakwaland.
Ek hoop u reis elke week vir werk is veilig en suksesvol. Dankie dat jy wel ons ondersteun het en dankie vir jou insette ek sal onmiddelik aandag gee daar aan.
Groete,
Die eienaar

Second choice, not exactly what we wanted, but good spot if this is what you're looking for.
Good view, easy, friendly check-in, tidy room with bathroom (only shower), bar fridge and kettle, cleaning service. Lots of stairs and shared kitchen downstairs, certainly not a problem for everyone. We were on 'n wildflower mission and Elkoweru has a good location.

Elkoweru Guest House has good and bad points.
The girl at reception did not pay much attention to us, I think she just wanted to go home and we had to ask whether or not we could get breakfast. The room was clean, but so cold and the battery of the aircon was almost flat so you had difficulty adjusting it. The stairs are very high for taking your suitcase to your room. During the night there was a lot of noise from the street with motorbikes and cars that just wanted to race. The woman who made breakfast was so friendly and breakfast was good. We won't go back to Elkoweru when heading to Namibia again. There are other places in Springbok that are much better.

Goeie dag, baie dankie vir die terugvoering van ons diens. Dis al hoe ons die diens kan verbeter.
Die dame by ontvangs werk al 'n geruime tyd by my en al my gaste hou van haar vriendelikheid, as sy 'n af daggie gehad het, vra ek namens haar om verskoning. Ons etes is alles ekstra en ek het reeds die saak aangespreek hoekom hulle nie aan u 'n ete aangebied het nie.
Batterye van 'n remote is by enige huis iets wat kan pap raak en hier is op voorraad genoeg batterye om u te kon help, sou u die saak aangemeld het wat u nie gedoen het nie. Ons help enige tyd van die dag en dra voorraad van alle gebruik items.
Die insident dat daar geraas was moet definitief 'n "once off" wees want ek bly nie naby besige strate nie en teen die koppie waar ons geleë is is dit altyd rustig. Ongelukkig kan ons niks aan Jan Publiek doen nie. Ons perseel is baie veilig en ook oor die algemeen baie stil. Ons vra ook gereeld ons gaste om respekvol teenoor ander gaste te wees na 22:00 waarna ek as die eienaar self optree teenoor dit.
Die meisies by ontbyt is baie vriendelik en baie dankie vir daardie kompliment, ek het dit so aan hulle oorgedra.
Daar is verseker baie goeie gastehuise in Springbok, maar ek verseker u dat ek as eienaar altyd op die perseel is en seker maak dat, as ek wel weet van die insidente, self sorg dat die probleem uitsorteer word. Ons streef na goeie diens na 25 jaar en ook die laagste pryse.
Dankie dat u ons help om n beter diens te kan lewer,
Groete
Konrad Steyn.......die eienaar ;)

Not what we expected for the price.
Room was very small and the open area outside the room smelled overwhelmingly of stale cigarette smoke. There was also an endless drip of water under the window that kept us from sleeping. The shower water periodically changed from freezing cold to boiling hot while showering. We definitely felt the rate was extortionate for the value we got. Sorry, but hopefully our comments help make the experience better for future visitors.
