The lady we called said we will have to pay extra for every person who will be sleeping in their unit. We had to fight for one more person and ended up looking for another guest house for the other two people yet we paid for the family unit. ##### Siyanda Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Jun 30, 2020 #### Freezing in winter The room had all the basics but wear and tear are evident. It was freezingly cold and even with the heating turned on, did not really heat up. The owners should really switch the heating on if guests are expected and not wait until their arrival. The only way to survive was to get into bed with all my clothes on and wearing my coat, with the electric blanket on. The guest house was recommended to us by relatives but we would not stay there again. It is probably pleasant enough in summer. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 24, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly and helpful staff, excellent parking, nice room and bathroom with good accessability, airco, etc. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yoliswa C Jun 6, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### wooow amazing It was amaxing i enjoyed my stay keep up the good work you are doing Cotton wood ##### Yoliswa C Stayed 1 night in May 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yoliswa C May 29, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was an amazing stay i enjoyed it and defiantly going back there when ever in at Bloemfontein ##### Yoliswa C ### 10/10 Excellent #### Corné Jan 3, 2017 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient and clean.
