Netjies, waarde vir geld en skoon.

Ek wil graag my opregte dank uitspreek vir die uitstekende diens en aangename verblyf wat ons by die gastehuis ervaar het. Die skoon omgewing en sorg wat aan die akkommodasie gegee is, het beslis bygedra tot 'n gerieflike en aangename verblyf. Ons het ook die vriendelikheid en hulpvaardigheid van die personeel waardeer. Baie dankie vir die onvergeetlike ervaring, en ons sien uit daarna om in die toekoms weer van julle gasvryheid gebruik te maak.

Perfect for one night stay.

Our stay at the accommodation was fine. It just needs to have facilities for guests who are not 100% stable on their feet. There should be no stairs and flat showers for guests who are not 100% mobile. The units do need some urgent maintenance.

Sleg geslaap weens lawaai.

Nee, vir een of ander rede het iemand besluit om net na vier in die oggend 'n tuimeldroeer te gebruik wat voel asof dit in wese in raas. Die bef se kopstuk is ook los, so elke omdraai op die bed laat dit teen die muur klap. Die blinder bo die deur moet in die raam sit sodat dit die lig van buite kan uitblok.

Slept badly due to noise.

No, for some reason someone decided to use a tumble dryer just after four in the morning that feels like it's essentially rattling. The bed's headboard is also loose, so every turn on the bed makes it slam against the wall. The blind above the door must sit in the frame so that it can block out the light from outside.

Was vriendelik, baie rustig en vredevol.

Die dame het ons wel in kennis gestel en om verskoning gevra dat ons kamer nie 100% op standaard is nie en besig is met herstelwerk. Sy het so sleg gevoel, maar met alle respek gesê, dit was minimaal wat sy van gepraat het en steeds was die kamer pragtig en kon ons heerlik rus, warm stort en veilig wees terwyl ons daar was vir ons seun se rugbytoer en ons gehelp op baie kort kennisgewing.

Was friendly, very calm and peaceful.

The lady did inform us and apologized that our room was not 100% up to standard and was undergoing repairs. She felt so bad but with all due respect said it was minimal what she was talking about and still the room was beautiful and we were able to have a great rest, hot shower and be safe while we were there for our son's rugby tour and helped us up very short notice.

Oh yes. I will recommend Gecko's Gastehuis to my friends and other people.

I like to stay at Gecko's every year. We held our convention at Volksrust High School as Jehova Witness. I would like to stay there again next year because it's clean. Their room is neat and the breakfast nice. We enjoyed our stay. I want say thank you to all the staff of Gecko's Guesthouse.

Yes, I would recommend Gecko's to a friend.

Friendly staff and the room was clean and neat. It was safe and beautiful. Heater and electric blanket are found in the room because they know Volksrust is a very cold place to be when the winter has started. Please install all the DStv channels that accommodate all your guests - music and gospel channels.

Marvellous

This is a 5 star guesthouse, I really enjoy my stay on 5-7 October 2018 we had Jehovah's witnesses convention in Volkrust so I lodge at Gecko. The place was clean, neat,welcoming and hospitable. My room was cleaned everyday by the friendly staff and the breakfast was divine . What impressed me most was the fact that they worked as a team, even the owner and security was tight. Wow, I would recommend Gecko guesthouse to anyone since I would go back every year.

Goeie waarde.

Kamer was ruim, baie skoon en netjies. Baie vriendelike staf wat dadelik geweet het wie ons is en ons laat tuis voel het. Uitstekende ontbyt. Miskien kan die ontvangskantoor bietjie netjieser wees? Maar dis al kritiek. Hierdie is ideaal en baie billik vir oorstop vanaf Mpumalanga na Natal.
