Ideale ligging, kamer en badkamer baie netjies en skoon met alle nodige geriewe, vriendelike diens, veilige parkering, waarde vir geld.

Ons was twee mense wat een nag oorgeslaap het. Die kamer het sy eie ingang gehad en was baie groot met 'n groot en suite-badkamer met 'n stort. Die B&B is ideaal geleë net voor die dorp en ons het vinnige, vriendelike diens gehad. Alles was baie skoon en netjies met al die nodige geriewe aan ons beskikbaar. Ons kar was veilig binne parkeer teen geen ekstra koste. Absolute waarde vir geld, en ons sal The Ridge Bed and Breakfast definitief aanbeveel.

Ideal location, room and bathroom very neat and clean with all necessary facilities, friendly service, safe parking, value for money.

We were two people who slept over one night. The room had its own entrance and was very large with a large en-suite bathroom with a shower. The B&B is ideally located just before the town and we had fast, friendly service. Everything was very clean and tidy with all the necessary amenities available to us. Our car was safely parked inside at no extra cost. Absolute value for money, and we would definitely recommend The Ridge Bed and Breakfast.

Our room was very comfortable.

My husband, 2 kids and I had a large room which was really comfortable and large enough for the 4 of us. The decor was nice and the room was clean. The beds were really comfy so we had a good rest. We only stayed for the one night and did not have breakfast the following morning. We weren't asked if we would like breakfast which I think we should have been so can't comment on that. The TV in the dining room was really loud and could be heard from our room. It was turned down by the time we went to sleep so it didn't keep us awake. Will stay there again if I happen to be in the area.

Good day Melanie,

Thank you for your comments, I will address the loud TV with my staff.

Vriendelike diens en kamers is voldoende.

'n Lugversorger in die kamer sal 'n aanwins wees, maar kamers is gerieflik en baie gemaklike beddens.

Volgende keer eerder êrens anders.

Ek het 'n bespreking op die dag gemaak. Toe ons by die gastehuis opdaag het die dame by ontvangs nie van ons geweet nie en ons baie onwelkom laat voel. Sy was maar kortaf en minimaal behulpsaam. Sy het wel na 'n tydjie vir ons 'n kamer beskikbaar gestel. Dit het gevoel asof daar gaste dwarsdeur die nag opdaag of die B&B verlaat. Ek sal eerder volgende keer êrens anders probeer.

Next time somewhere else.

I made a reservation on the day. When we arrived at the guest house the lady at reception did not know about us and made us feel very unwelcome. She was only curt and minimally helpful. She did make a room available for us after a while. It felt like guests were arriving or leaving the B&B throughout the night. I'd rather try somewhere else next time.

Good day Nils,

We had a problem with our internet on Saturday and your enquiry was only received on Sunday, therefore our ladies were unaware of your booking.

We pride ourselves that we provide good quality service and accommodation at a very affordable price with a week occupancy rate of 98% and weekend occupancy in excess of 50%. We were fully booked the weekend and unfortunately, we cannot control the movement of our guests.

Kind Regards, Heynrich.

The rooms and facilities are good. A tad pricey for the area. The main let down was the unwelcoming service from the staff.

Staff was unwelcoming. They were surprised by my booking a bed and breakfast stay. I didn't receive breakfast because they did not have adequate staffing. The room was good and clean. Value for money is okay, but not great.

The Ridge Bed and Breakfast 's response

Good day Sanne,

Thank you for the feedback. Kindly note that our rates excluded breakfast, this was stated in our quote dated 20 July 2018. We are listed as one of the cheapest establishments in Southridge Park and our rates are very competitive. Hence our good weekly occupancy rate of 99%.

Rustig en stil.

Area was teleurstellend. Netjies met die nodige warm komberse. Stort- en wasbakkrane baie gelek en mors water - nodig onderhoud, aandag. Dit was net 'n oorslaap - niks "wow" nie.

Area was disappointing. Neat with the necessary warm blankets. Shower and sink faucets leak a lot and spill water - maintenance, attention needed. It was just a sleepover - nothing "wow".

Good day Amanda,

You stayed in room no 5, I have personally inspected the taps and found no leaks.

We pride ourselves that we provide good quality accommodation at a very affordable price with a weekday occupancy rate of 98%, and a weekend occupancy rate in excess of 50%. In our suburb, Southridge Park, there are in excess of 50 bed and breakfast establishments, the reason these establishments are so popular is that the suburb has easy access to the N2. From a security and location perspective, you will not find any better in Mthatha.

Regards, Heynrich.

Die Ridge B&B sal nie aanbeveel word nie.

Toe ons daar opdaag was ons nie op die gastelys nie, ten spyte dat ek met die eienaar self bevestig het. Die area voor die kamers was vuil, alhoewel die kamer skoon was. Die badkamer is piepklein en die kussings is aaklig. Ons was teleurgestel dat sy ons nie ingelig het dat daar nie ontbyt bedien word in die vakansie nie, ons moes dit die oggend van 'n werknemer in haar nagklere verneem, aangesien die eienaar nooit daar was nie.

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

The Ridge B&B would not be recommended.

When we got there we were not on the guest list, despite me confirming with the owner himself. The area in front of the rooms was dirty, although the room was clean. The bathroom is tiny and the pillows are awful. We were disappointed that she did not inform us that breakfast was not served during the holidays, we had to find out in the morning from an employee in her night clothes, as the owner was never there.

Verrassend aangenaam en tegemoetkomend.

Ons het met 'n 4 maande oue babatjie hier oornag, en die gasvrou het uit haar eie inisiatief ons bespreek in 'n kamer met 'n bad. Dit het dinge baie makliker gemaak, ek het dit baie waardeer. Baie skoon en netjies.

We spent the night here with a 4-month-old baby, and the hostess, on her own initiative, booked us into a room with a bathtub. It made things a lot easier, I really appreciated it. Very clean and tidy.

Die eienaar en die personeel was baie vriendelike en hulpvaardig. Die kamer was skoon en netjies.

Ek kan die akkommodasie ten sterkste aanbeveel. Die kamer is baie netjies en die beddegoed was van goeie gehalte. Daar was selfs 'n elektriese kombers. Die yskas en mikrogolf en ketel het gewerk. Die personeel was uiters vriendelik en die ontbyt was lekker voorberei. Ek sal dit enige tyd vir enige iemand kan aanbeveel.

Regtig uitstekend. Baie meer as wat ons verwag het veral vir 'n plek soos Mthatha.

Weereens regtig waarde vir geld; en dit was vir ons 'n perfekte oornagstop op pad na ons vakansiebestemming. Kon nie glo die plek was so netjies nie. Die mense ook baie vriendelik. Kan dalk net vir die ontvangsdame sê om so bietjie meer gepas aan te trek.

Really excellent. Much more than we expected especially for a place like Mthatha.

Once again it was really good value for money, and for us it was the perfect overnight stop on the way to our destination. Could not believe the place was so neat. The people were also very friendly. They could maybe just tell the receptionist to dress a little more appropriately.
