Very reasonable. Dorothy are very welcoming.

Good. But really only for people who appreciate 'colonial' style living.

Not satisfied.

No shower. It took us more than 20 minutes to get enough hot water in the bath. The bed was in a poor state. Springs from the mattress made it difficult to lay down. Completely uncomfortable. We we instructed to drive around the house and park the car next to the street, while the whole back yard was available.

Prima Rosa 's response

We are sorry about your being not satisfied. However, our establishment is clearly advertised as a historical house, built in 1904.
We are proud of not adulterating the history and age of Prima Rosa by modernizing our whole place. There are strict rules on Historical Houses.
Many ordinary, as well as upmarket guesthouses have tea stations, which we provided, in an accessible area. You could have bottomless tea and coffee at your heart's delight, a few steps away from your rooms.
You had ample bathing facilities if you needed it. One huge bath in the old style with old gold taps, the other also standard with a hand shower.
The water pressure from our Town's Municipal water varies from day to day. It is part and parcel of the present problems we are all facing.
You were asked to park infront, for your own convenience to be close to the front door. There are safety pallisades between our vehicle and the street. I take offence for the incorrect complaint .about parking on the street. You were behind a safety fence, not on an open street. Our whole property is fenched. It is an open field at the back behind the safety fence and not as safe as the front parking area, that is in hearing distance from of your room. You could have asked if you didn't like your spot because there was no restriction on where you parked.
I will look into the mattrass problem because you are the first to complain about it.
We have had hundreds of guests who valued our hospitality and the love we have for preserving something of our Heritage.
Groete,
Dorothy

Baie lekker gebly, vriendelike, gasvrye mense.

Die huis is 'n ware historiese monument in Hartbeesfontein wat verlore gegaan het. Dankie vir die lekker kuier.

Very nice, friendly, hospitable people.

This house is a true historical monument in Hartbeesfontein which has been lost. Thank you for the nice visit.

The people are very friendly, but you don't get the value for your money.

See the stars.

Nie waarde vir jou geld nie, as dit nie reeds donker was nie het ek aangery.

Geen ketel, koffie- of teegeriewe in die kamer nie. Gordyne val op plekke van die reling af, geen sleutel in deur om te sluit (het 'n ander deur se sleutel daarin maak werk want ek slaap vir seker nie so in 'n vreemde plek nie). Dit is nie op gastehuis standaard nie.

Not worth your money, if it wasn't already dark I would have left.

No kettle, coffee or tea facilities in the room. Curtains fall into places of the railing, no key in the door to lock (made another door's key work because I do not sleep in a strange place like that). It is not on guesthouse standard.

Dit was 'n vriendelike atmosfeer maar nie wat ek verwag het vir die prys wat ek betaal het nie.

Die oom en tannie was baie vriendelik. Dit was bietjie moeilik om te vind. Ek het bietjie meer verwag vir die prys wat ons betaal het maar as hulle net bietjie moeite doen kan die plekkie weer wees wat dit eens was.

It was a friendly atmosphere but not what I expected for the price I paid.

The uncle and aunt were very friendly. It was a little hard to find. I expected a little more for the price we paid but if they put in a little effort the place could be back to what it once was.

Aanvaarbaar vir Hartbeesfontein, kamers is netjies, maar buurt lyk onveilig en tuin kort aandag.

Die woonbuurt is nie baie netjies nie en kom ook nie baie veilig voor nie. Die kamers is goed, maar die tuin kan aandag kry. Die diens was wel goed.

Acceptable for Hartbeesfontein, rooms are tidy, but neighborhood looks unsafe and garden needs attention.

The neighborhood is not very neat and does not appear very safe either. The rooms are good but the garden could use some attention. The service was good though.

Prima Rosa 's response

Goeie dag Werner.
Kan U kwalifiseer waar Prima Rosa tekort geskiet het. Het U hier geslaap? Ons het net sleutels op die bed gevind. Ons het Travelground in kennis gestel dat U nie n en-suite kamer vir jul sou hê nie. Maar wel n badkamer. Ek hoop hul het U inkennis daarvan gestel want ons ander kamers was reeds beset.
Ons is baie jammer dat U ontevrede voel. Maar my advertensie is duidelik dat dit n Historiese Huis is en derhalwe nie moderne fasiliteite het nie.Daar is fotos van elke kamer op ons advertensie.
Groete
Dorothy

Wonderlike gasvryheid.

Ideale wegbreek van die haastige wêreld. Lieflike atmosfeer en gasvryheid van Micheal en Dorothy. Hulle maak dit die moeite werd. Kos was heerlik.

Dit was 'n aaklige ondervinding.

Advertensie wat geplaas is, is misleidend. Ons verwag 'n 4-ster-plek met 4-ster-behandeling, maar wat 'n ontnugtering. Ek beveel glad nie hierdie gastehuis vir enige iemand aan nie. Slegs die nodige is in die kamer: bed, bad en toilet in een. Geen en suite-badkamer nie, haardroër, spieëlkas, kas om klere te hang. Ag noem maar op net wat jy wil wat verwag word van 'n plek met 4 sterre en al die antwoorde is negatief. Tot die bord wat die plek aandui is nie op standaard nie. Dit het my 'n halfuur se soek gekos voordat ek die plek kon kry. As ek geen sterre by die verblyf kon gee dan het ek, want dit verdien nie enige melding op 'n webblad nie. Die foto's is misleidend.

It was a horrible experience.

Advertisement posted is misleading. We expect a 4 star place with 4 star treatment, but what a disappointment. I do not recommend this guest house to anyone at all. Only the necessary is in the room: bed, bath and toilet in one. No en suite bathroom, hair dryer, mirror cabinet, closet to hang clothes. Oh, name what you want that is expected of a place with 4 stars and all the answers are negative. Until the sign indicating the place is not up to standard. It took me half an hour of searching before I could find the place. If I couldn't give the accommodation no stars then I would, because it doesn't deserve any mention on a web page. The photos are misleading.
