Very quite place - there were no other quests - too quite. But the advantage is that it is very close to Golden Horse Casino. When we reached the Guest House we hooted because we didn't know that there was an intercom. There was a man outside who was very rude to us because we hooted. When we finally got in the reception we received was very dull. A brighter reception area with a bubblier receptionist will be good. Breakfast - could be better. On the whole, our one night stay was okay. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay Jun 9, 2025 ##### Jay Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nkosiyapha Aug 3, 2023 ##### Nkosiyapha Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sibusiso and Irene Sep 26, 2022 ##### Sibusiso and Irene Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in May 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Odwa Apr 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Odwa Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Oct 24, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [marriotthotelsresorts Hotels in North Center](https://www.expedia.ca/North-Center-Chicago-Hotels-Marriott-Hotels-Resorts.0-n6132415-0--bMarriottHotelsResorts.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Family Farm Bunkhouse with a View](https://www.expedia.ca/Chilcoot-Vinton-Hotels-Family-Farm-Bunkhouse-With-A-View.h91285252.Hotel-Information) > > [pv Hotels in Evasion Mont Blanc](https://www.expedia.ca/Evasion-Mont-Blanc-Hotels-PV.0-0-d6217859--bPV.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Spa Hotels in Monteverdi Marittimo](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverdi-Marittimo-Hotels-Spa-Hotel.0-0-d6134250-tSpaHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Golf Hotels in Lake Buena Vista North](https://www.expedia.ca/Lake-Buena-Vista-North-Hotels-Golf-Hotel.0-0-d553248625403845610-tGolfHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Medina](https://www.expedia.ca/Medina-Marrakech-Hotels.0-n6084765-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [First Group The Palace All-Suite](https://www.expedia.ca/Durban-Hotels-First-Group-The-Palace-All-Suite.h4130645.Hotel-Information) > > [Family Hotels in Rigolet](https://www.expedia.ca/Rigolet-Hotels-Family-Hotel.0-0-d4063-tFamilyHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Spa Hotels in Adams](https://www.expedia.ca/Adams-Hotels-Spa-Hotel.0-0-d6005393-tSpaHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pavilion Hotel Durban](https://www.expedia.ca/Durban-Hotels-Pavilion-Hotel-Durban.h11057116.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Johzenji](https://www.expedia.ca/Sendai-Hotels-Hotel-Johzenji.h28591649.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fejø](https://www.expedia.ca/Fej-Hotels.d3000416655.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Sunset Rentals | Evian 203](https://www.expedia.ca/Hilton-Head-Hotels-Sunset-Rentals-Evian-203.h33289689.Hotel-Information) > > [The Blue Waters Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Durban-Hotels-The-Blue-Waters-Hotel.h11158.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver, BC (YVR-Vancouver Intl.) to Rome (ROM-All Airports)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/rom/vancouver-to-rome) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Dubai (DXB)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/dxb/ottawa-to-dubai) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Lincoln (YFC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yfc/halifax-to-fredericton) > > [Flights from Paray-Vieille-Poste (ORY) to Cambridge (CBG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ory/cbg/paris-to-cambridge) > > [Kuwait Airways Frankfurt (FRA) to Dhaka (DAC) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/kuwait-airways-from-frankfurt-intl-to-shahjalal-intl/ku/fra/dac) > > [Flights from Tangerang (CGK) to Bali (BLC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/cgk/blc/jakarta-to-bali) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/yhz/ottawa-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Cadolzburg](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/6350015/flights-from-cadolzburg) > > [Flights from Abbotsford (YXX) to Scottsdale (SCF)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxx/scf/abbotsford-to-scottsdale) ### Cars ### Cruise ### Activities > [Things to do in Kingston](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Kingston.d180034.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages
