A comfortable warm night stop on a freezing night.

Good. Clean and comfortable. My delayed arrival was accommodated, which I appreciated. Location not well marked and it was difficult to find in the dark, but the manager was very helpful.

Lekker ruim huis. Goed geleë en veilig.

Aangename verblyf, net jammer die gedeelte waarin ons was het nie 'n stoof of warmplaat of elektriese pan gehad nie. Lugversorging was egter goed.

Lord Willis Guest House 's response

Johannes, baie dankie vir die bespreking by Lord Willis. Ek is jammer vir die ongerief van die kooktoestelle. U kon net vir die bestuurder gevra het. Hul het dit per ongeluk nagelaat om weer terug te plaas. Al ons eenhede het mikrogolwe in en 2 eenhede het kookplate in.

Groot huis met goeie geriewe.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs al was dit laat Saterdagmiddag. Ons het vooraf gebel en die eienaars het vir ons staan en wag toe ons daar aankom. Baie lekker oornag.

Gerieflik met alles wat nodig is.

Hoewel ek lekker gebly het sou ek van 'n plekkie meer in die middel van die dorpie gehou het. Daar is baie swaar voertuigverkeer op daardie pad.

Although I had a nice stay, I would have liked a place more in the middle of the village. There is a lot of heavy vehicle traffic on that road.

Volgens my mening is die huis nie van pas nie.

Eerstens het ons nie in die kamer gebly soos wat gewoonlik bevestig is op die foto nie. Die huis het soos 'n tronk gevoel met die staalstrukture voor die skuifdeure en van die vensters. Ons kamer se skuifdeur kon nie oopmaak nie so ons het vasgevang gevoel in ons kamer met geen vars lug of iewers privaat om te sit nie. Daar was 'n halwe toiletrol in badkamer met geen ekstra. Daar was 'n halfgebruikte koekie seep in die stort. Die handseepbotteljie by die wasbak het nie gewerk nie. Die komberse op die bed was vir ons 'n groot higiëne bekommernis. Ek glo nie vir 'n oomblik dat die komberse elke keer na elke gas gewas word nie en word sodoende oor en oor deur verskillende gaste gebruik. Ek stel voor winterlakens met 'n donsduvet en dalk elektriese kombers. Die houtvloere in die huis kraak verskriklik wat steurend is vir gaste wat graag later wil slaap. Die sitkamer-area is baie onpersoonlik en voel glad nie soos 'n gastehuis nie. Indien die eienaar alles dieselfde wil hou stel ek voor hulle haal die woord 'Luxury' van hulle advertensiebord.

Translate to English.

In my opinion, the house is out of place.

First, we did not stay in the room as usually confirmed in the photo. The house felt like a prison with the steel structures in front of the sliding doors and some of the windows. Our room's sliding door couldn't open so we felt trapped in our room with no fresh air or somewhere private to sit. There was half a toilet roll in bathroom with no extra. There was a half-used bar of soap in the shower. The hand soap bottle by the sink didn't work. The blankets on the bed were a big hygiene concern for us. I don't believe for a second that the blankets are washed every time after every guest and are thus used over and over again by different guests. I suggest winter sheets with a down duvet and maybe an electric blanket. The wooden floors in the house creak terribly which is disturbing for guests who like to sleep later. The lounge area is very impersonal and doesn't feel like a guest house at all. If the owner wants to keep everything the same, I suggest they remove the word 'Luxury' from their billboard.

Geraas van verkeer en stukkende glasdeurslot veroorsaak slapelose nag.

Die gastehuis is geleë reg langs die hoofpad wat 'n geweldige geraas veroorsaak elke keer as 'n vragmotor verby gaan. Daar is geen veilige parkering vir voertuie nie en aan verskeie deure was daar tekens van inbreek-pogings. Die glasdeur van ons kamer was gebreek en kom nie sluit nie. Dit was wel skoon en netjies.

Noise from traffic and broken glass door lock cause sleepless night.

The guest house is located right next to the main road which causes a tremendous noise every time a truck passes by. There is no safe parking for vehicles and several doors showed signs of attempted break-ins. The glass door of our room was broken and wouldn't close. It was clean and tidy.

Effens teleurstellend

Lord Willis word geadverteer as 'luukse akkommodasie. Dit staan ook so op hulle advertentiebord by die gastehuis. Dis voldoende, maar kan nie as luuks beskryf word nie. Ons ontvangs was baie goed en die gashere vriendelik en behulpsaam. Hull het aan al ons versoeke voldoen. Die paslaken op ons bed was te klein vir die bed en die kamergordyne kan nie behoorlik toegemaak word nie, weens foutiewe installering. Leeslamp op die bedkassies is te lig en val om. Ons moes ook self die kragprop (agter die bed) soek en hulle inprop. Indien die akkommodasie as luuks moet deurgaan, behoort al die fynere puntjies nagegaan te word. Gashere moet voortydig alles nagaan en dit gereed kry.

A little disappointed.

Lord Willis is advertised as luxurious accommodation. It is also on their advertisement at the guesthouse. It is sufficient but it can't be described as luxurious. Our reception was good and the hosts friendly and helpful. They met all of our needs. The fitted sheet on our bed was too small for the bed and the curtains can't close properly because it was installed wrong. Reading lights on the bed side tables are too light and they fall over. We had to search for the power point (behind the bed) and plug them in. If the accommodation had to pass as luxurious, these things have to be looked at. Hosts have to look at everything beforehand and get it ready.

Aangenaam.

Baie skoon en netjies. Sou graag meer privaatheid wou hê aangesien ons deur die huis (wat vol ander gaste was) moes in en uitkom aangesien die skuifdeur buite werking was. Die kasdeur wat met 'n kettingslot gesluit was, het afbreek gedoen aan die mooi dekor.

Pleasant.

Very clean and neat. Would have liked more privacy, because we had to enter the accommodation by going through the house full of guests (the sliding door was out of order). The wardrobe door locked with a big lock and chain took away from the beautiful decor.

Dit was heerlik, dankie.

Die plek self is pragtig, maar die krane in die badkamers het gedrup, 'n strykplank en -yster en 'n wasmasjien sou waardeer word, en ons motor moes buite staan want die garage was gesluit.
