    The location was poor and the building and garden need urgent attention. There was no place to do the dishes, there were no wine glasses nor a drying cloth. The toilet seat was loose.

    The bed was comfortable and the linen and towels were clean.

    It was a very cold day and the gas could have been put on to warm the room a bit. The exterior of the house and yard needs attention.

    The accommodation was good. Kitchen well stocked. We loved having Netflix.

    No table to eat at. Battery-backup lights dimmed almost as soon as loadshedding hit, making it difficult to see by. Took a while to get a hold of host on arrival. No water pressure during loadshedding.

    Comfy bed and spacious room with a handy kitchenette.

    The entrance from the parking area to the house was a bit scary, loose bricks in trenches around the corner of the house makes walking difficult. Bottles and leftovers of, I suppose a party the previous noght, in the yard. Cutlery in kitchen could be better, especialy the plastic glasses. Fridge door cannot close, so no fridge.

    The room was clean. Bed and bedding comfourtable. Big bath in bathroom.

    I entered through the back which wasn’t a good sight. Felt like I was entering a rural African country.

    Inside the place was good. I can see that the guys are really trying to give good service.

    Water was only available when the pump activated by staff. There was NO water from 10pm, NO water in the morning. Only 1 bath towel was supplied, 3 hand towels & no kitchen cloths. The Toilet became blocked & was unusable in the morning. Kettle tripped kitchen plugs so had to be used in the bedroom. Toaster plug didn't fit the adapter. There was no table at which to eat a meal prepared in this self-catering unit. Noise from staff family in the room adjacent to our bedroom (separated only by a locked door) was unacceptable. Staff seemed to have left the premises early in the morning, were not seen or heard.

    Room was comfortable, heated, kitchen facilities adequate, bathroom OK. Covered parking inside the property.

    Comfortable, overnight guestroom at Green Gables in Edenburg, Free State.

    The exterior may be a bit misleading, as it does not match the beautiful guest room within the house. The cutlery and crockery wasn't quite adequate.

    The room was beautiful and comfortable. The bathroom was large and had a super shower with plenty of warm water. The guestroom was more than adequate for an overnight stay on a long trip. The hostess, Contilda, was friendly and helpful.

    Looked very rural and scary - outside the gate and in the yard. Shack like structures. Poor lighting. Walking under bushes to get to the unit. Walk on rubble. The description of what is available is a laugh compared to what is there. For example - it is ridulous to put the follwing on the website: minibar, wifi, hot tub, free toiletries,bathrobe, ironing facilities, kitchenware (unless one fork and two cheap spoons qualifies as kitchenware, carpeted, dining area, garden view. All non existant and cannot even imagine some of those at this location. Is there a rating for scary?

    The bed was clean and comfortable.

    Property did not look anything like the photos that it were advertised. It was not clean and I did not feel safe on the property. The front door was in bad condition and could barely lock. There were no water or electricity from the time of my arrival until I left the next morning.

    The property is all but a guesthouse. Workers and their families are staying in a separate house and in the main house where the guestrooms are. The premises accommodated a broken-down car, open storage spaces and no proper garden. No indication as to where the entrance is. No communication from the owner during the booking process. The contact number on the gate and website was unanswered.

    I stopped at the gate. Had to open the gate and then started looking for an office or someone to welcome me. Even though the property was advertised as animal friendly and I mentioned in my booking that I travel with a support dog and need confirmation that the dog will be welcome I was met with unnecessary animosity and negativity towards my trained labrador.

    False advertising. Rooms are tiny, no bathroom door, thus no privacy in bathroom. All night long pipes makes horrible sounds non stop. No hot water for a shower and the *towel* is the size of a bathroom mat. Not views of garden from room, but overlooking car ports.

    It is way off the main roads, it looked totally dilapidated, in a very bad area. We had trouble finding it, felt extremely uneasy driving through town. We felt unsafe stating there so we did not even get out of our car. False advertising / misleading photos and listing.

    Nothing. No exterior pictures given in the listing.

    The phone number could no be reached after several attempts during travelling toward the town (to confirm time of arrival). It can be recommended that the the terrain be cleaned as quite some building material cluttered the yard ;-) (Some noise from TV from adjacent rooms in the house, but it was not too bothersome and we fell asleep easily).

    We enjoyed the cleanliness. The front garden was real neat. The staff was really friendly and we were treated well and were helped unloading some luggage from the car. Fairly safe parking on the premises. We slept very well and departed well rested.
