Netjies, ruim, heerlik gekuier.

Ek het in kamer nommer 1 oorgeslaap en die kamer is heerlik ruim met genoeg kaste. Die badkamer het 'n stort en 'n bad. Gasvrou is baie hulpvaardig.

Dit was aangenaam.

Dit was 'n heerlike stil omgewing. Die bed se kopstuk het net die stilte ongelukkig verbreek elke keer as jy omdraai, kap hy teen die muur. Ek sal net voorstel om die kopstuk vas te maak om sodoende die ander gaste ook in ag te neem tydens slaaptyd.

It was pleasant.

It was a lovely quiet environment. The bed's headboard only broke the silence, unfortunately, every time you turned, it clattered against the wall. I would only suggest fixing the headboard so as to consider the other guests at bedtime.

Unpleasant and noisy.

We were charged R1700 for one night which is ridiculously overpriced, it was advertised as R693 per night. It was noisy as the walls between rooms were thin and we heard everything the neighbours were saying and doing. Knowing the room was worth R693 as advertised, not R1700, made us very critical of the cheap crockery and cutlery, cracked coffee mug and no nice place to sit outside.

Lily Guesthouse 's response

I apologise for the unpleasant experience you had. Our prices are higher during peak periods, and we have replaced all the crockery and cutlery. We have also addressed the noise issue from the neighbouring room and do provide ample seating at the front porch and barbecue area. Please consider contacting me the next time you're in Bloemfontein, and I will be happy to offer you a discounted rate.

Dit was heel aangenaam.

Dit was mooi skoon en netjies. Ons was baie vriendelik ontvang. Ons het dadelik op ons gemak en tuis gevoel. Ek sal beslis hierdie gastehuis aanbeveel. Dit is in 'n rustige area. Dis baie mooi skoon en veilig. Ons was ook baie vriendelik ontvang. Ek was baie beïndruk aangesien die eienaar ons vroeër as was 'n mens gewoonlik kan inklok, kon akkommodeer. Baie dankie.

Slegs oornag vir rugby.

Aangename verblyf, ongelukkig misgelees oor ontbyt, sou graag daar wou eet. Dalk 'n goeie plan om gaste met inboek te herinner dat ontbyt vooraf versoek moet word. Niemand te sien Sondagoggend om mee te praat nie. Daar was ook nie beloofde sjampoo in ons kamer nie. Maar beslis aan te beveel.

Only overnight for rugby.

Pleasant stay, unfortunately misread about breakfast, would love to eat there. Perhaps a good plan to remind guests upon check-in that breakfast must be requested in advance. No one to see on Sunday morning to talk to. There was also no promised shampoo in our room. But definitely recommendable.

Was bietjie teleurgesteld.

Het nie die kamer gekry wat ek bespreek het nie en die een wat ons toe gekry het kort opgradering. Melk in die kamer vir koffie of tee sal ook aanbeveel word. Veiligheid is 'n plus punt.

Jammer dat ons vir u die verkeerde kamer gegee het. U moes net met aankoms al dit genoem het, dan kon ons 'n plan maak. Ons is besig met opgradering vir die hele gastehuis.

Goeie opsie vir oornagverblyf.

As jy op soek is na bekostigbare verblyf vir oornag op pad na jou bestemming, sal ek Lily Guesthouse aanbeveel. Die gasheer is baie vriendelik en die beddens en linne van goeie gehalte. Daar is 'n mooi eetkamer en stoep waar jy jou wegneemete kan sit en geniet aangesien die kamers nie toegerus is met 'n volle kombuis nie (wel 'n mikrogolfoond en yskas). Ons is 'n gesin van 4 en het een kamer gedeel (kinders op stapelbeddens geslaap), so met bagasie by het die kamer effens beknop gevoel, maar dit was voldoende vir die kort besoek. Ons het baie veilig gevoel.

Good option for overnight stay.

If you are looking for affordable overnight accommodation en route to your destination, I would recommend Lily Guesthouse. The host is very friendly and the beds and linen are of good quality. There is a nice dining room and porch where you can sit and enjoy your takeaway as the rooms are not equipped with a full kitchen (but a microwave and fridge). We are a family of 4 and shared one room (kids slept on bunk beds), so with luggage the room felt a bit cramped, but it was adequate for the short visit. We felt very safe.

Dit was asof ek in my eie huis gebly het, net in 'n ander stad.

Lily Guesthouse het flinke en effektiewe diens gebied. Ek was nog nooit vantevore so tevrede met my verblyf in 'n ander stad nie. Dit was maklik om te kry, pragtig op die eerste oogopslag en (toe ek my kamer betree) net so bevredigend. Die gastehuis is mooi versier en het 'n huislike kwaliteit. Dit is werklik besonders.

Baie teleurstellend!

Kamers is nie gastehuis kwaliteit nie... Plafon so laag dat jy net-net kan regop staan in stort. Daar is ook nie goeie ventilasie nie en die plafon is al gemuf van stort se vogtigheid. Daar is 'n privaat woning op 2de verdieping reg bo die kamer en dit raas vreeslik soos hulle op en af loop.

Very disappointing!

Rooms are not guesthouse quality... Ceiling so low that you can barely stand up in the shower. There is also no good ventilation and the ceiling is already moldy from the shower's dampness. There is a private residence on the 2nd floor right above the room and it is very noisy as they walk up and down.
