Disgusting Service
Pros:

I booked via booking.com platform and my booking was confirmed. I received a call from the owner advising me that there are no rooms available. I should cancel my booking as the guesthouse is under renovations. She refunded me less commision. That put me under a lot of stress as I had to find alternative place to sleep. Moreover I had to pay for alternative accomodation whilst awaiting my refund. I also didnt understand why she had to deduct a commission when there was no service rendered. Regards. Dave

Cons:

The fact that I completed the booking and paid for the accomodation without any notification that there are rooms available. I view this as a money making scam. Deduction of commission when there was no service rendered made me very angry.

We enjoyed our stay!
Pros:

The host was friendly and welcoming. The place exceeded our expectations considering that it’s in Carletonville, we will definitely book here next time we visit.

Cons:

Everything else was great, it would be nice if they’d have soap/shower gel and a shower cap.

Never happened.
Pros:

This property appears to be a SCAM I got to the property and the residents state that it’s their family home. The contact number provided doesn’t work at all.

Cons:

That it is a scam.

Very good
Pros:

It was very clean and beautiful. The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

They were not answering their phone when we got there , we stood outside for more than an hour . We went to the neighbour opposite them and the neighbour called her for us . She came very late , she said she wasn’t told that we’re coming

And there’s no house number or something written the name of the guesthouse at least .
