Skoon en gerieflik, maar geen ekstras soos WiFi.

Die plek is netjies en gerieflik en voldoende vir oornag akkommodasie. Die kragproppe teen die mure was gebroke. Net die een in die kombuis kon werk. Geen WiFi.

Goeie oornag fasiliteit. Kort bietjie TLC maar was baie netjies en gerieflik.

Baie vriendelik ontvang, kamers skoon en goed toegerus. Gebou en veral buite meubels kort dringend TLC maar ons was gerieflik en het heerlik geslaap.

Good, clean, neat and tidy.

Fanie was not a pleasant man. He does not have a way of speaking to the guests. We had a problem with the gate at the back, and the more we explained that it was giving problems, the more he said it wasn't giving problems, which made us feel like we broke it and we are lying. Where are the cameras to view these things? The place itself is beautiful and a good place to breathe, and the community is friendly. I'd recommend this place to anyone; it's really good.

Basiese, skoon geriewe. Pryse behoort gesny te word.

Dit was netjies en skoon, maar beslis nie R700 werd nie. Daar was nie melk of rooibostee nie, en die koffie was van die goedkoop chicory tipes (horrible smaak). Die kamer was reg waar daar groot kaste gestop het wat vir ewig idle en het oopgemaak in 'n binnehof gedeelte waar van die ander gaste gerook het (dit was baie onaangenaam). Gewoonlik word ten minste shower gel of seep ook verskaf. Die plek is meer van 'n motel as 'n gastehuis. Die badkamer was uiters teleurstellend.

Basic, clean facilities. Prices should be cut.

It was neat and clean, but certainly not worth R700. There was no milk or rooibos tea, and the coffee was of the cheap chicory types (horrible taste). The room was right where there stopped big cupboards that were forever idle and opened into a courtyard area where some of the other guests were smoking (it was very unpleasant). Usually at least shower gel or soap is also provided. The place is more of a motel than a guesthouse. The bathroom was extremely disappointing.

Not a good sleep.

The water was ice cold as the owner only set the geyser to 35°C and it was between 1° and 9°C, even after complaining. The kitchen had toast crumbs all over the shelves. The kettle lid was broken, which made filling it difficult. The bathroom and kitchen share a wall, which is open at the top which is so unhygienic. The blinds were broken so people could see into our room from the courtyard. The electrical box and geyser box have bright red and green flashing LED digital displays, which are not covered but open, which lights up the room at night. Asked for the Wi-Fi password and was never given it.

Behalwe vir die plek wat skoon was, het ek niks meer positief te sê nie.

Daar was nie genoeg parkering nie. Ek moes iemand vas parkeer in die aand. Kon nie slaap as gevolg hiervan nie en het vroeg opgestaan sodat ek net kon wegkom voordat iemand daaroor kla. Daar was ook geen beligting na my kamer nie en baie bosse. Ek het baie onveilig gevoel. Die WiFi was ook glad nie beskikbaar nie, geen sein nie.

Other than the place being clean, I have nothing more positive to say.

There was not enough parking. I had to park someone in the evening. Couldn't sleep because of this and got up early just so I could get away before someone complained about it. There was also no lighting to my room and lots of bushes. I felt very unsafe. The WiFi was also not available at all, no signal.

Wasn't the best. But had no other place.

Thank you very much for Lekslaap's good service and handling of the booking, it was done very professionally. . As for Rusticana I must honestly say it was not the best place. I think for one or maybe a second night stay it will work but not for longer. The place was clean and tidy. We just unfortunately didn't have an air heater that worked, the control of the heater just set cold, they had to get one from the room next door to warm our heater, but returned the control and left us with one which didn't work, so as soon as you turned the heater off and tried to turn it back on it blew cold again. For some reason the room's control didn't sync with the heater. When we wanted to take a shower there was no hot water, we reported it, it was the Wednesday evening, the people said that they would make the water hotter. But by late evening still nothing. The next morning there was no hot water either. That's how it stayed for the duration of our stay and had to boil hot water from the kettle and use the sink to wash, we reported it every day (for 3 nights and 4 days we had no hot water) it's not nice not and it was quite cold in Riversdal and rainy, when we checked out on Saturday the lady said they would talk to the owner he is not there at the moment. We later received a whatsapp which said that they got an electrician out and that there was something wrong with the geyser. But rooms 1-5 seem to me to all work on one geyser, which is quite funny because then you won't have any hot water. Our boiler in the room didn't work either, but at least it was sorted out the next day. For a self catering unit there was literally only a braai pan with no utensils or bowls and a microwave oven. There were indeed knives and forks and mugs and glasses. There was washing up liquid but no cloths or sponges to use to wash the dishes. Oh yes, they said there was wifi because I had to work, but it didn't work at all, they said it was because of the weather. . We were a little disappointed and it was also our first experience to book on Sweet Sleep because you only got good feedback. The lady did say that we don't have to pay the balance. I don't think I would recommend Rusticana unless it really is the last place open and only for one night. We did talk to the other guests as well and they had the same experience as us.

Paar woorde is nie genoeg vir slegte ervaring nie. Die foute.

Slegste ondervinding ooit. Vorige negatiewe resensies was onder agent se aandag gebring én versekering was gegee dat alles verbeter het. Geen warm water. WiFi foutief. Personeel probeer hul bes om foute reg te stel, maar na betaling ontvang is beteken klagtes of slegte resensies niks vir eienaar van Rusticana, asook julle. Die foute by gastehuis kan moontlik herstel word maar julle se blase houding m.b.t. klagtes spreek boekdele. Absoluut teleurgesteld.

Few words are not enough for bad experience. The mistakes.

Worst experience ever. Previous negative reviews were brought to the agent's attention and assurances were given that everything had improved. No hot water. Wi-Fi faulty. Staff try their best to correct mistakes, but after payment has been received, complaints or bad reviews mean nothing to the owner of Rusticana, as well as you. The mistakes at the guest house can possibly be repaired, but your blasé attitude regarding complaints speak volumes. Absolutely disappointed.

Paw.

The place is falling apart. They use old pictures to advertise, and that is false advertising. The noise was unbearable. We looked for a simple iron for two days, and nobody knew where it was. What you see on the website is not what you see when you get there.

Rusticana is nie die tipe plek wat ek sal aanbeveel nie.

Die gastehuis het baie kamers. Ek het geen idee hoe die nader lyk nie, maar daar waar ons in was, was dit nie lekker nie. Beddegoed lyk vuil en gevlek. Matrasse is uitgelê, as die springs jou nie steek nie, voel jy net planke onder jou. Vensters kan nie lekker toe maak nie. Dit was baie koud, en hulle gee een kombers, later gevra vir nog. Kry dan goed met sigaret brandmerke op. Toilet sitplek was stukkend. Borde was nog vuil. Aircon het nie gewerk nie. En dan kry mens bure wat ook geen maar geen respek het vir niks en niemand. Die gastehuis sit ook op die hoek van twee baie baie besige strate. Maar soos ek sê, dit was dalk net ons kamers aan die agterkant van die gebou wat so gelyk het. Geen idee hoe dit in die ander is aan die voorkant nie.

Rusticana is not the type of place I would recommend.

The guesthouse has many rooms. I have no idea what the closer looks like, but where we were in it was not nice. Bedding looks dirty and stained. Mattresses are laid out, if the springs don't sting you, you only feel boards under you. Windows cannot close properly. It was very cold, and they give one blanket, later asked for more. Then get stuff with cigarette burns on it. Toilet seat was broken. Plates were still dirty. Aircon did not work. And then you get neighbors who also have no respect for anything or anyone. The guest house also sits on the corner of two very very busy streets. But as I say, maybe it was just our rooms at the back of the building that looked like that. No idea how it is in the other on the front.

Gemiddeld, het meer verwag.

Dit is fine vir 1 aand se oorslaap. Mure en plafonne kort aandag. Aircon het nie gewerk nie. Mense het buite ons kamer tot laat gebraai en musiek gemaak wat gemaak het dat ons nie ordentlik kon slaap nie.

The location in the room was dark, the room was freezing cold, the bedding was very thin, the bed was freezing cold. The remote didn't work the first night, there was no milk, with loadshedding we had to make use of candles, and 1ply toilet paper. Was no sense like what I saw on the website. It was disappointing for us overall. The outer rooms did look better, I saw as we left.

Moes net oornag oppad na familie toe.

Bed was gemaklik genoeg, maar daar is plek vir 4 mense, of 2 kinders en 2 groot mense, maar daar is net handdoeke en stoele vir 2 mense. Beide die badkamerdeur en die stortdeur kan nie toemaak nie. Daar is nie papbakkies nie, en daar is skottelgoedseep maar geen waslap om skottelgoed mee te was nie, en ook nie 'n vadoek nie. Die toiletbak is nie eens vasgemaak nie, so dis 'n veiligheidsrisiko. Die vrieskas is so aangepak dat helfte van die spasie uit ys bestaan het. Die resensies laat dit baie lekker lyk daar, maar ons is baie teleurgesteld. Die naambord is ook heeltemal toegegroei met plante.

There are no porridge bowls, and there is dish soap but no washcloth to wash dishes with, nor a dish towel. The toilet bowl isn't even fixed, so it's a safety risk. The freezer was packed in such a way that half of the space consisted of ice. The reviews make it look very nice there, but we are very disappointed. The signboard is also completely overgrown with plants.

The images does not do enough justice to the place, it really is a nice set up, we stayed there because we were visiting family in Riversdale.

There isn't much to do at the place but to go back and just sit back and relax or sleep is a good place to be at. It was extremely nearby everything, Fanie and the staff are friendly and were waiting on us from cape town at 9 pm the evening, we didn't get to swim but the pool looks lovely it isn't painted blue so in the pictures, it looks dirty but it is clean, Thank you for a warm stay!

'n Plekkie met soveel potensiaal, maar tans nie veel beter as net 'n plek om jou kop vir die aand neer te lê nie.

Met 'n klein bietjie aandag kan dit 'n ongelooflike mooi plek wees met 'n lekker kuierplekkie rondom die tans baie vuil swembad. Op die oomblik niks meer as 'n plek om net vinnig te oornag nie.

A place with so much potential, but currently not much better than just a place to lay your head for the evening.

Below average.

Water was cold when I wanted to take a shower that night. In the morning I could take a shower, but there was no hot water for my husband. No milk for complimentary coffee and tea and no drinking water provided.

Teleurstellend!

Beddegoed stink na vuil water of iets, bank en stoel rafel uit en lyk nie veilig nie. Beddens is uitgelê. Aircon werk nie. Kamer muur het ou natwaterkolle, dit lyk sleg! Geen spieël in kamer, moes in kombuis grimmeer en hare doen! Kombuiskas lyk sleg. Seepbottel in badkamer met geen seep. Venster in badkamer kan deur gekyk word van buite af, reg op stort, geen privaatheid. Daar is 'n baie onveilige trap in die hoek van die stort en die drein van die stort laat ook veel te wense na. Ontvangs is deur 'n veiligsheidshek by die kombuis? Nadat jy verby 'n klomp onooglike goed moes beweeg om daar uit te kom. Die eetsaal is bo-op 'n hoenderhok gebou! Hoe kan so 'n plek nog gelys word!

Disappointing!

Bedding stinks of dirty water or something, couch and chair are frayed and don't look safe. Beds are laid out. Aircon not working. Room wall has old wet water spots, it looks bad! No mirror in room, had to do make up and hair in kitchen! Kitchen cupboard looks bad. Soap bottle in bathroom with no soap. Window in bathroom can be viewed from outside, right on shower, no privacy. There is a very unsafe step in the corner of the shower and the drain of the shower also leaves a lot to be desired. Reception is through a security gate at the kitchen? After having to move past a bunch of unsightly stuff to get there. The dining hall is built on top of a chicken coop! How can such a place still be listed!

Redelik.

Gasvrou het verdwyn die oomblik toe ons arriveer het. Daar was niemand om bv. te vra of daar WiFi is en of daar dalk 'n braaitang beskikbaar was nie. Ons het ook nie 'n remote gehad om die toegangshek te sluit nie, so ons was onrustig oor ons motor. Die beddegoed en handdoeke was skoon en netjies, maar daar was heelwat daddy long leg goggas in die kamer en badkamer.

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

Reasonable.

Hostess disappeared the moment we arrived. There was no one to e.g. to ask if there was WiFi and if there might have been a braai tong available. We also didn't have a remote to lock the entry gate, so we were worried about our car. The bedding and towels were clean and tidy, but there were quite a few daddy long leg bugs in the room and bathroom.

Nie baie skoon of netjies nie.

Eetgerei maar skraps, (niks lyk eers dieselfde nie), geen vadoek of skottelgoedseep, stortdeur kan nie toemaak. Sleg kantgordyn in badkamer met gewone ruite wat uitkyk op ander kamers so geen privaatheid in badkamer. Kouekraan in badkamer by wasbak stukkend. Moes iemand soek by ontvangs om ons te help. WiFi nie beskikbaar soos geadverteer.

Not very clean or tidy.

Cutlery but scant, (nothing even looks the same), no dish towel or dish soap, shower door can't close. Poor lace curtain in bathroom with plain panes looking out to other rooms so no privacy in bathroom. Cold faucet in bathroom by sink broken. Had to find someone at reception to help us. WiFi not available as advertised.

Pateties!

Die plek het geen kliëntediens nie (daar was nie 'n gastehuisbestuuurder wat seker maak alles is in orde en daar vir enige vrae en versoeke nie) en ook geen sekuriteit (al die kamers en perseel staan wawyd oop en daar is geen kontrole nie), en omdat die plek langs die hoofpad van die dorp is, is dit baie raserig. Vragmotors gaan verby met baie geraas van vroeg in die oggend tot laat die aand - valse advertering, foto's op webtuiste en werklikheid verskil baie. Nog punte: Swembad is vuil en groen. Geen WiFi password verskaf nie. Restaurant was gesluit. Kroeg was gesluit.

Pathetic!

The place has no customer service (there was no guest house manager who makes sure everything is in order and there for any questions and requests) and also no security (all the rooms and premises are wide open and there is no control), and because the place is next to the main road of the town, it is very noisy. Trucks go by with a lot of noise from early in the morning until late at night - false advertising, photos on websites and reality are very different. More points: Pool is dirty and green. No WiFi password provided. Restaurant was closed. Bar was closed.

Stay was lovely.

The stay was lovely, the staff were friendly and we had a lovely breakfast. Only issues - there was no light in the kitchen area and before booking there was mention of shared DStv, however when we arrived there were no TV channels.

Dit is waarde vir geld, maar die verkeer is baie langs die plek.

Die ligging is goed, maar die verkeer is die een ding wat die plek negatief beïnvloed.

It is value for money but the traffic is very much next to the place.

Glad nie so great nie!

Die ontvangs was sleg, my geboekte en bevestigde kamer, was weggegee aan iemand met 'n kleiner kind. My kind was te nagekom en baie hartseer oor die verskoning as 'n kamer. Dit was vuil en baie goggas en spinnekoppe. Aand 2 was ons geskuif na iets beter maar die kussings en matrasse was van power gehalte.

Not that great at all!

The reception was bad, my booked and confirmed room was given away to someone with a smaller child. My child was too fulfilled and very sad about the excuse as a room. It was dirty and lots of bugs and spiders. Night 2 we were moved to something better but the pillows and mattresses were of power quality.

Redelike verblyf maar baie outyds en ‘n totale opknapping is nodig.

‘n Bedelaar het om 8:30 die aand aan ons deur kom klop wat total onaanvaarbaar is. Ons was veral bekommerd oor ons motor se veiligheid. Daar is oral erwe waar herstelwerk gedoen word, maar dus glad nie netjies nie.

Reasonable accommodation but very old-fashioned and a total renovation is needed.

A beggar came knocking on our door at 8:30 in the evening which is totally unacceptable. We were especially concerned about our car's safety. There are plots everywhere where repairs are being made, but therefore not tidy at all.

Goeie waarde vir geld.

Die positiewe oorheers. Die tuine kan 'n paradys wees, maar dis verwaarloos. Gras is lank en onkruid groei welig.

The positivity dominates. The gardens can be a paradise, but it's neglected. Grass is tall and weeds grow in abundance.
