"Great place. As an international tourist I do not like being charged 2000zar and asked for banking details for a property damage deposit. Especially with a 7 day turn around. In other words 6 other nights of guests stay in the room and what prevents me from being charged for something they did?? And it is just too risky for me to give banking details as a tourist. Other wise stay was nice."
