Goeie waarde vir geld, goed geleë en ons het veilig gevoel.

Ons het lekker gebly, maar daar is net 'n paar dinge wat ons wil voorstel aan die eienaar. Hulle kan gerus net 'n paar rand spandeer en bv. die proppe in die hoofslaapkamer netjies en veilig laat oordoen, nuwe kussing slope op die kussings sit, 5 koppies en 5 bekers beskikbaar maak as hulle dit as 'n 5 bed slaapplek beskikbaar maak, die area waar die ontvangs is gerus die (kombuisie) maak en sodoende darem 'n plek gee waar jy as gesin kan sit en saam eet. Dit was goeie waarde vir geld, en die plek het potensiaal - kort net bietjie aandag.

Good value for money, well located and we felt safe.

We had a nice stay, but there are just a few things we would like to suggest to the owner. They can spend just a few rand and e.g. have the plugs in the main bedroom redone neatly and safely, put new pillow slips on the pillows, make 5 cups and 5 mugs available if they make it available as a 5 bed sleeping place, feel free to make the area where the reception is the (kitchen) and thus at least give a place where you can sit and eat together as a family. It was good value for money, and the place has potential - just needs some attention.

Alles wat nodig is vir een nag, maar die badkamer reuk is sleg.

Die aaklige reuk in die badkamer van die LightStone Guest House kamer het die verblyf bederf. Die badkamer het nie 'n venster nie, en ek dink die reuk kom uit die dak. As dit nie hiervoor was nie, sou ek beslis weer daar oornag het.

Everything needed for one night, but the bathroom smell is bad.

The horrible smell in the bathroom of the LightStone Guest House room spoiled the stay. The bathroom doesn't have a window, and I think the smell is coming from the roof. If it wasn't for this, I would definitely stay there again.

Nee.

Dagsê. Alex was die persoon wat ons ontvang het, hy was uitstekend gewees. Dankie. Ongelukkig het die gasheer nie eers die moeite gedoen om op my WhatsApp te antwoord nie. Ons het nie warm water gehad nie, die timer het eers later ingeskop. Ons het 12:45 opgedaag, inklok was 13:00, die gasheer is onder die indruk dat inklok tye 14:00 is. Die stortknop werk nie lekker nie, is gekraak en kan nie ondertoe draai nie, spuit alle rigtings, alles was nat (my seun het koue stort probeer vat). Alex se diens het opgemaak vir alles. Maar dit het nie ons naweek bederf nie. KRONE 2024 was awesome .

Nee.

Goodbye Alex was the person who received us, he was excellent. Thank you. Unfortunately the host didn't even bother to reply to my WhatsApp. We didn't have hot water, the timer didn't kick in until later. We arrived at 12:45, check-in was 13:00, the host is under the impression that check-in times are 14:00. The shower knob does not work well, is cracked and cannot turn down, sprays in all directions, everything was wet (my son tried to take a cold shower). Alex's service made up for everything. But it didn't spoil our weekend. KRONE 2024 was awesome.

It was terrible and the room was cold.

It's a good thing we just wanted a place. The way they received us was bad, they wanted us to show proof of payment while we booked via you. We had a 3-year-old child yet they gave us a room with steep stairs to the bedroom. We did not get the room we booked for.

Aangenaam.

Vir een nag se oorslaap is die 3 ster 100% en voldoende toegerus. Prys gewys kan ons dit egter nie aanbeveel nie. Ons het al in die omgewing van Unitas vir baie minder 'n ten volle toegeruste selfsorg woonstel gehuur. Wat wel uitstaan is die hulpvaardigheid en vriendelike mense met eie ons te doen gekry het en ons het veilig gevoel.

Pleasant.

For one night's overnight stay, the 3 star is 100% and adequately equipped. However, given the price, we cannot recommend it. We have already rented a fully equipped self-catering apartment in the vicinity of Unitas for much less. What does stand out is the helpfulness and friendly people we had to deal with and we felt safe.

Die aankoms was baie onprofessionneel. Hulle was ook nie gereed vir my nie. Die yskas was ook nie koud nie.

Ek moes alle betalings bewys. Die personeellid het hom nie voorgestel nie en die eienaar was ook nie naby nie. Dit was scary. Miskien hulle beddens vervang.

The arrival was very unprofessional. They weren't ready for me either. The fridge wasn't cold either.

I had to prove all payments. The staff member did not introduce himself and the owner was not around either. It was scary. Maybe replace their beds.

Teleurstellend.

Toe ons daar aankom was ons glad nie eers vriendelik verwelkom nie. Die werkers se wasgoed was op die draad, ’n paar tree van waar mens jou kar stop. Mens wil nie ander mense se wasgoed by ’n gastehuis sien nie. Ons kamer was nie gereed nie. Die werker moes eers voor ons stoep vee. Daar was nie warm water in die stort nie. Toe ons uiteindelik die warmwater-kraan kry, bly die water net vir 1 min warm dan is dit weer koud. Die lugversorger lek - moes ’n bak daar sit want vloer was nat. Ons het 1 aand daar oorgeslaap en toe van akkomodasie verander.

Disappointing.

When we got there we were not even welcomed kindly. The workers' laundry was on the line, a few steps from where you stop your car. You don't want to see other people's laundry at a guest house. Our room was not ready. The worker first had to sweep in front of our porch. There was no hot water in the shower. When we finally got the hot water tap, the water only stays hot for 1 min then it's cold again. The air conditioner was leaking - had to put a bowl in there because the floor was wet. We spent 1 night there and then changed accommodation.

Extremely weak. I didn't even sleep over.

Because of work and a work function I had to stay far from my home and then wanted to sleep over. I got to the gate about 1845 and called the given number. A person answered the phone after a few tries and kept saying my room is not right, I have to book after 12. I said I don't understand it's 1845, the phone was put down and I tried to call again but they just didn't answer. I didn't oversleep even though my reservation was confirmed and paid for.

Was nie die beste gewees nie.

Sal nie weer van hulle gebruik maak nie. Ons het nie die kamer gekry wat ons bespreek het nie. Daar aangekom kry ons 'n kamer met baie steil trappe na die slaapkamer. Let wel badkamer is onder. Ek het juis nie die kamer met trappe bespreek nie omdat ons pensionarisse is om nie die steil trappe te klim nie. Toe ek later daaroor kla wou hulle ons na 'n ander kamer skuif maar ons het dit nie aanvaar nie want dan moet jy weer alles van bo af probeer afdra. Hoekom kon hulle nie van die begin af vir ons die kamer sonder trappe gee nie. Die man by ontvangs was ook baie onprofessioneel gewees.

Wasn't the best.

Will not use them again. We didn't get the room we booked. Once there we find a room with very steep stairs to the bedroom. Note bathroom is downstairs. I didn't exactly book the room with stairs because we are pensioners so we don't want to climb the steep stairs. When I complained about it later they wanted to move us to another room but we didn't accept it because then you have to try to bring everything down from above again. Why couldn't they have given us the room without stairs from the start. The man at reception was also very unprofessional.

Rustig.

Die kamer was baie warm bo in die loft. Trappe ongelooflik styl en moeilik om op en af te klim. Verder aangenaam. Staff het vriendelik gehelp. Was veilig en het gemaklik geslaap.

Die kamers was okay.

Ons het nie 'n hek remote gehad om in en uit te gaan nie en moes heeltyd bel en lank wag wat onprofessioneel was. Die bed vir die 3de gas was 'n sleeper couch wat nie aangedui was nie. Het ek dit geweet het ek op 'n ander plek bespreek!

The rooms were okay.

We didn't have a gate remote to go in and out and had to keep calling and waiting for a long time which was unprofessional. The bed for the 3rd guest was a sleeper couch which was not indicated. Had I known this I would have booked at a different location!

Niks spesiaals as jy net 'n bed soek om te slaap.

Dis amper asof die foto's nie die verblyf regverdig nie, hulle adverteer dit as 'n gesinskamer, maar dis 2 aparte kamers en ons het 'n dogtertjie van 3 jaar oud. Sekerlik kan sy nie alleen in 'n aparte kamer slaap nie. Die matte het ons so bietjie afgesit, maar andersins was die kamers skoon. Daar was slegs een sachet koffie met geen melk in die kamer.

Nothing special if you're just looking for a bed to sleep.

It's almost like the photos don't do the accommodation justice, they advertise it as a family room, but it's 2 separate rooms and we have a 3 year old daughter. Surely she cannot sleep alone in a separate room. The carpets put us off a bit, but otherwise the rooms were clean. There was only one sachet of coffee with no milk in the room.
