Adequate.

Failure by staff to inform all guests on the premises that the kitchen doors will be locked hours earlier than what is stipulated on the plentiful notices. Just because somebody left a light on. Really petty!

Our stay was okay.

The curfew was disappointing.

Flintstones Guest House - Cape Town 's response

Hi Janine,

I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your night's stay. The cleanliness issue will be addressed with the staff. All our rooms are non-smoking, but we cannot stop guests from smoking outside the rooms. Neither of the rooms you stayed in has a couch?

Warm regards,
The Flintstones Team

Pleasant but could be better.

The room was very clean and tidy. Some of the staff are very friendly but not all. The aircon's "cool" function didn't work, it just circulated the room air. After we brought this to the attention of one of the ladies, she suggested putting the aircon on fan at 30 degrees to make the room temperature cooler, which was not the case. I personally do not like a communal kitchen. A small fridge would work perfectly for the rooms. If there are many guests, the space in the fridge is limited. Most of the space in the fridge is therefore used by the staff. The staff share the kitchen facilities with the guests and if guests and staff were eating at the same time there would not have been enough forks.

Disappointing in cleanliness!

The only positive feedback I have is that the location is very close to the beach and the conference I attended. The room looked nothing like the picture, it was cluttered and had a filthy couch. The cleaning is not up to standard; there was a lot of dust and hair on the floor, and my room had a lingering smell of cigarettes.

Baie netjiese kamers en badkamers. Alles was in plek en die kamer is elke dag skoongemaak, maar die gesindheid van personeel kry net 3/10.

Ons was nie gelukkig met die persoon wat ons ontvang het nie. Sy was nie vriendelik nie en baie kort-af. Ons was ook onder die indruk dat ontbyt ingesluit is in die bespreking (wat ook op die inligtingspamflette binne die kamer so uiteengesit is), net om uit te vind sedert Covid-19 word dit nie meer aangebied nie. Dit moet asb. reggestel word op alle inligting en dokumente. Bogenoemde persoon het ook hierdie navraag nie baie vriendelik hanteer nie. Nog 'n probleem was die muurproppe wat nie toeganklik is nie. Ons moes die ketel op die vloer sit om water te kook, want die kabel was nie lank genoeg om by die muurprop by te kom nie. Ek sal ook voorstel dat die houer met seep by die wasbak geplaas word - ek het dit eers op die 3de dag raakgesien.

Very neat rooms and bathrooms. Everything was in place and the room was cleaned every day, but the attitude of staff only gets 3/10.

We were not happy with the person we received. She was not friendly and very curt. We were also under the impression that breakfast was included in the reservation (which was also stated as such on the information leaflets inside the room), only to find out that since Covid-19 it is no longer offered. It should please be corrected on all information and documents. The above-mentioned person also did not handle this inquiry very kindly. Another problem was the wall plugs that are not accessible. We had to put the kettle on the floor to boil water because the cable was not long enough to reach the wall plug. I would also suggest placing the container of soap by the sink - I only noticed this on the 3rd day.

Good morning Hettie,

Firstly, I sincerely apologize for the staff members attitude to you. We have addressed it, as we certainly do not tolerate rudeness.
Regarding the breakfast, we have changed our rates to self catering, for numerous reasons. That is why on your booking quote states "Price Includes: Slegs verblyf".
Thank you for bringing to our attention the issue with the kettle and soap dish, this will also be sorted out.

I am sorry, you did not bring this to our attention after your first night, as it would have been addressed immediately.
Please accept our humble apologies and certainly hope this does not affect any future bookings with us, as we value your support.

Warm regards
Jo Maurer

Very friendly, but very noisy.

Very warm welcome, the room looked very clean and neat but as you lie in the bed, the bedsheet had sand on it. Room had a connection to another and noise travels from the neighbor straight to you. Also, the room was extremely noisy because of the traffic.

Very happy with the stay. Liked the setup of the grounds and staff most helpful.

1. We would have liked a small fridge in the room. 2. Small sharp knife in the kitchen, broken and dirty, needs to be replaced please. 3. Appreciate the quiet and guests' consideration for each other. 4. On a few occasions staff spoke too loudly and disturbed our afternoon nap.

Sake.

Gastehuis dui aan dat hulle ontbyt bedien, maar op aankoms was ons ingelig dat dit nie meer insgeluit word nie. Sal verkies dat die gastehuis vooraf 'n aanduideing gee ontbyt nie meer bedien word nie.

Please accept my apologies, but we have not served breakfast since lockdown began with restrictions. We have not decided when breakfast will resume again. That is why we quote a room only rate as per your confirmation.

Hopefully, soon everything will resume to normal in the hospitality business.

Verblyf goed, swak kliëntediens.

Akkommodasie was goed, dit was netjies en het die doel van die besoek regverdig. Kliëntediens was baie swak, met aankoms het hul nie eens geweet van ons bespreking nie. Omdat ons vroeg vertrek het op 'n Sondagoggend kon hul ons nie akkommodeer met die ingeslote ontbyt nie, aangesien hul eers later begin op 'n Sondag.

Good stay, poor customer service.

Accommodation was good, it was tidy and justified the purpose of the visit. Customer service was very poor, upon arrival they didn't even know about our booking. Because we left early on a Sunday morning they could not accommodate us with the included breakfast, as they only start later on a Sunday.

Home away from home.

I'm recommending that all rooms be equipped with bar fridges as it becomes inconvenient to put your things in a communal fridge. The pool needs to be clean at all times. Otherwise it's a nice place to stay in with welcoming friendly staff who were always willing to assist at all times.

Baie lekker gebly.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang. Kamer baie netjies en skoon. Ontbyt elke oggend op tyd en baie lekker. Gerieflike loopafstand van die strand en meer af. Flintstones is na aan Tafelberg en die Waterfront en nog vele meer. Sekuriteit is geod en die diens is uitstekend. Florence en die ander personeel is altyd vriendelik en behulpsaam. Al wat 'n bietjie negatief is, is die feit dat 'n grootpad naby verblyloop en dat jy heeltyd die voertuie hoor, maar darem raak dit stil in die nag. Ons sal enige tyd weer by Flintstones gaan bly as ons weer Kaap toe gaan. Hartlike dank aan Florence, Jackie en personeel dat ons so lekker by julle kon bly.

Very pleasant stay.

We were warmly welcomed. The room is very neat and clean. Breakfast was on time every morning and delicious to boot. Convenient walking distance from the beach and some other places. Flintstones is close to table Mountain and the Waterfront. Security is good and the service excellent. The only thing that is a bit negative is the fact that the highway is close which means that there is a constant grumble of cars, but luckily it gets quiet at night. We will stay at Flintstones again when we visit the Cape. Thank you, Florence, Jackie and staff, for making our stay so special.

Glad nie op standaard nie.

Ontbyt is nie van goeie gehalte nie, wors is oneetbaar, vrugte is van die swakste gehalte. Ek sal glad nie hierdie gastehuis aanbeveel nie. Die beskrywing van die ligging is nie korrek nie. Hulle het vergeet om te noem dat daar 'n hoofweg tussen die gastehuis en die strand is, dat die strand en die meer se water besoedel is en jy nie daar mag swem nie, ens.

Not up to standard at all.

Breakfast is not of good quality, sausage is inedible, fruit is of the worst quality. I would not recommend this guest house at all. The description of the location is not correct. They forgot to mention that there is a main road between the guest house and the beach, that the beach and lake water are polluted and you are not allowed to swim there, etc.

Alles was volgens verwagting.

Ons kamer was baie netjies en het aan ons verwagting voldoen. Die personeel was baie hulpvaardig en vriendelik - sal weer van hulle gebruik maak as ons in daardie area verblyf soek. Die enigste probleem is dat die warm water baie lank vat om by die kraan uit te kom.

Alles was in orde, kamer was netjies en skoon.

Florence was vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Sou verkies dat daar in die kamer ook 'n vullisdrommetjie is. Ontbyt was baie 'gewoon', maar voldoende. Ek het persoonlike items in die kamer se kluis vergeet en eers die oggend van die twee dag nadat ek daar weg was, agtergekom. Ek het gebel, en Florence het dadelik gaan kyk, dit gekry en in die kantoor se kluis gaan toesluit. Ek het dit teruggekry sonder dat enigiets weg was. Ek het dit baie waardeer. Die tuin is in 'n effens verwaarloosde toestand - dit skep ongelukkig nie die beste indruk nie!

Florence was friendly and helpful. Would prefer that there is also a trash can in the room. Breakfast was very 'ordinary' but sufficient. I forgot personal items in the room's safe and didn't realize until the morning of the two days after I left. I called, and Florence immediately went to look, found it and locked it in the office safe. I got it back with nothing missing. I really appreciated it. The garden is in a slightly neglected state - unfortunately it does not create the best impression!

Great stay, but quotes differ slightly and uncertainty about what you get before arrival could be problematic for most guests in general.

I was quoted different rates for the same room on different days and was not sure how it worked. They had to take my fridge out of my room for another room with a pregnant lady (I did not mind at all and they helped me with access to a private fridge which was much bigger and better) but it was odd that there are not enough mini-fridges for the whole establishment. Breakfast was great! I had a very pleasant stay overall and would certainly come back. Thank you!

Verblyf was gemiddeld.

Vloere in die eetkamergedeelte, kamer en badkamer was nie regtig baie skoon nie. As mens deur die kombuis loop was daar nie 'n aangename reuk nie. Kombuis waar kos voorberei word was nie volgens my standaard skoon nie. Ek voel daar kan meer aandag gegee word aan die algehele netheid en higiëne van die gastehuis. Die elektriese motorhek was ook buite werking. Algemene indruk van die verblyf vir my was maar heel gemiddeld.

Stay was average.

Floors in the dining area, room and bathroom were not really very clean. Walking through the kitchen there was not a pleasant smell. Kitchen where food is prepared was not clean according to my standard. I feel that more attention could be paid to the overall cleanliness and hygiene of the guest house. The electric car gate was also out of order. General impression of the stay for me was very average.
