Bad.

The pool was dirty, couldn't even swim. Invaded our privacy, wifi password was not given to us. As we were chilling by the pool area, a lady walks to us and says "don't throw bottles in the pool". Who on earth would do such a thing? Hubby and I were left stunned.

Villa Shells 's response

Good day,
Apologies if we offended you in any way.
We approached you while you and hubby were in the pool and told you that no drinking of alcohol in anything but plastic is allowed in the pool, as glass would break.

Good stay.

The host was so amazing, the place is easily accessible to shops and restaurants. The only glitch we had was the blockage of the toilet, but otherwise I can't complain about anything else since most of the time we were out.

Het gereel vir 'n vroeer incheck dit was geen probleem nie.

Die kamers is nie in 'n goeie kondisie nie, ek het so paar foto's geneem en ek dink die foto's op die webwerf is misleidend.

Arranged for an earlier check in it was no problem.

The rooms are not in a good condition, I took some photos and I think the photos on the website are misleading.

Thank you for your review
You requested and early check in
We accommodated you here
We moved you to a room due to cleaning driveways and it was no problem to all parties.
You then requested a room with a bath we only have showers in most rooms.
We get many guests on this platform with no faults
Well we can’t please everyone I suppose.

Had a fabulous stay at Villa Shells and felt really safe.

Owner is one awesome lady and made our stay very enjoyable. Loved the fact that restaurants and shops were within walking distance from where we stayed.

Great people and a stunning room.

My partner and I stayed in Cypress Suite 3, a stunning room with a view and beautifully decorated. Sherlaih and Michael are great hosts and very accommodating. Slight lack of amenities, such as the bath not being usable due to water restrictions, and no kettle for coffee. Luckily there's a coffee shop for early-risers walking distance down the road.

Pleasant.

Facilities were suitable for our needs. Place was restful and a walking distance to the shopping mall. We had a joyful experience and worthwhile to be there. I would definitely recommend the facilities and looking forward for the next visit there.

Kamer het gestink na rook en kort baie onderhoud in die kamer spesifiek.

Mure is orals vuil. Daklek by trappe. Bad tap baie stadig, kan nie gebruik word nie. Wasbak dreineer nie.

The room stank for smoke and needs a lot of upkeep.

The walls are dirty. The roof leaks above the stairs. Bath takes a long time to full, can't use it. Wash basin doesn't drain.

You thanked me for this booking and said you would book again, so I don't understand this review.

All the very best for the future.
