Die atmosfeer is rustig en het lekker gebly.

Dit was lekker en netjies. Dit was net snaaks dat ontbyt nie by die verblyf ingesluit was nie. Maar ek dink die persoon wat die bespreking gemaak het, het dalk nie daarop gelet nie. Miskien kan hulle hulle fooi verhoog en ontbyt dan insluit, want mens verwag maar dat dit gewoonlik ontbyt insluit.

The atmosphere is peaceful and had a nice stay.

It was nice and neat. It was just funny that breakfast was not included in the stay. But I think the person who made the reservation may not have noticed. Maybe they can increase their fee and include breakfast, because one would expect that it usually includes breakfast.

Dit waarvoor ons bespreek het - om te kan bad en lekker slaap - het nie gebeur nie!

Met ons aankoms van meer as 5 ure op pad, was ons vriendelik ontvang. Na aandete terug by die kamer, geen warm water om te bad of stort nie! Die gaste was ook baie luidrugtig tot laat in die nag. Die volgende dag sou 'n nuwe geyser ingesit word, maar toe ons terugkom na 6 die aand was daar nogsteeds geen warm water nie. Die bestuurder het aanbeveel dat ons alternatiewe verblyf soek en belowe dat ons "refund" sou word, wat nou nog na 'n maand en 'n half later en na verskeie navrae nie gebeur het nie. Uiters teleurstellend!

What we booked for - to be able to bathe and sleep well - did not happen!

Upon our arrival from more than 5 hours on the road, we were kindly received. After dinner back at the room, no hot water for bath or shower! The guests were also very noisy until late at night. The next day a new geyser was to be put in, but when we returned after 6 in the evening there was still no hot water. The manager recommended that we look for alternative accommodation and promised that we would be "refunded", which now after a month and a half later and after several enquiries, has not happened. Extremely disappointing!

Golden Candle Guest House 's response

Hi Elmarie

Thank you very much for the review above. I am well aware of the situation that occurred. After the complained about the water we did however install another geyser. The company that installed the geyser only finished with the installation before 6 and we had to give another hour for the geyser to warm up.

I contacted the website to do a refund into your account directly for the last night you did not stay and they made the payment into the company account. I have lodged a refund with the owner and the money for the last night will be refunded.

My apology for the noise as we had a group of 30 people which I did confirm with the website that was here for training for 3 weeks.

We appreciate the review as we always looking for ways to better ourselves.

Heart-warming.

Elli made our stay so fabulous. She went above and beyond the call of duty. The service from everyone there made us feel at home. To combat loadshedding and cable theft, she got a generator and gas stove and we were well taken care of. Saturday was my birthday and she surprised me with a delicious birthday cake. I look forward to going back with more friends and family. They add the golden touch to everything at this gorgeous place.

Tweester-akkommodasie.

Die meubels, linne ens. is oud en afgeleef. Dit sou lekker wees om darem 'n sepie/sjampoe in die badkamer te kry. Die gastehuis was seker op 'n stadium baie mooi en gewild, maar dit het definitief bietjie opknap nodig.

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

Two-star accommodation.

The furniture, linen etc. is old and decrepit. It would be nice to at least have a bar of soap/shampoo in the bathroom. The guest house was probably very nice and popular at one point, but it definitely needs some renovation.

The room is nice and spacious and has everything I needed.

I needed accommodation near During Road and this was the closest I could find. For my purposes it was perfectly adequate, but travelers should know that the WiFi does not work well (luckily I brought my own portable WiFi with me).
