Neat, comfortable and affordable. My son and I needed a quick overnight stay, and this was perfect. In fact, it was more than we needed. The unit was spotless and neat. The staff were friendly and efficient. We'll stay here again.

Recommend it. Slept very well, very neat and clean. Can only look at the pillow. Couldn't pick up WiFi, assumed there wasn't one.

Beveel dit aan. Baie lekker geslaap, baie netjies en skoon. Kan net kyk na die kussing. Kon nie WiFi optel nie, aangeneem daar is nie.

Problem guest making noise from 12 at night till 4 in the morning ongoing. The Eskom working groups coming and going made noise through the night screaming was the only issue.

Neat unit. The biggest problem was the noise from people entering their units late at night. The kitchenette only has one tap at the sink, a hot tap, and no way to get cold water into the sink.

Netjiese eenheid. Die grootste probleem was die lawaai van mense wat laat in die nag by hulle eenhede ingaan. Die kombuisie het net een kraan by die wasbak, 'n warm kraan, en geen manier om koue water in die wasbak te kry nie.

Not very nice. I would recommend the place if the noise wasn't so bad. Really, if it's a place for contractors, then just keep it to them or give us other rooms away from the noise. The people who stayed next to us were drinking from the time their eyes opened until they closed again. They were sitting outside smoking their weed. My brother-in-law and I had to go and quiet people down all the time. But they wipe their asses on you. I also paid for my stay like he did. On Friday night it sounded like a bunch of starlings, that laughter could be heard for miles. Don't people know what respect is? There should be rules at a place like this too. The bathrooms really need an upgrade.

Nie baie lekker nie. Ek sal die plek aanbeveel as die rumoer nie so erg was nie. Regtig waar, as dit 'n plek vir kontrakteurs is, hou dit dan net vir hulle of gee vir ons ander kamers weg van die rumoer af. Die wat langs ons gebly het, drink vanaf hulle oë oop gegaan het tot dit weer toegegaan het. Sit en rook hulle dagga buite. Ek en my swaer moes heeltyd mense gaan stilmaak. Maar hulle vee hul gat aan jou af. Ek het ook betaal vir my verblyf nes hy. Vrydagaand het dit soos 'n klomp spreeus geklink, daai lag strek myle ver. Weet mense nie wat respek is nie? Daar moet ook tog reels wees by so 'n plek. Die badkamers kort regtig 'n upgrade.

Dear Guest, We would like to once again sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and noise you experienced during your stay this past weekend. It appears that the security guard on duty did not properly fulfill his responsibilities. We take this matter seriously and will follow up with the security company to ensure that it does not happen again. Upon your arrival, we made alternative units available to you, further away from the noise. However, we understand that you preferred the units with a bath and therefore decided to stay in the units originally assigned. We respect that decision and are sorry that the noise affected your stay. We try our best to place different groups on the property in a way that guests who prefer peace and quiet are not affected by contractors, parties or other activities. Unfortunately, in this case, it did not go as planned. We also note your feedback regarding the bathrooms and will look into upgrading those standard units. The alternative units we have offered are of a higher standard, but we remain committed to continually improving all of our units. Thank you again for your feedback and our sincere apologies for the inconvenience. Our office will also be in touch with you. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide you with a much better experience. Kind regards, Golden Lantern Guesthouse

Geagte Gaste, Ons wil graag weer eens opreg om verskoning vra vir die ongerief en rumoer wat julle tydens julle verblyf die afgelope naweek ervaar het. Dit blyk dat die sekuriteitswag aan diens nie sy verantwoordelikhede na behore nagekom het nie. Ons neem die saak ernstig op en sal dit met die sekuriteitsmaatskappy opvolg om te verseker dat dit nie weer gebeur nie. Met julle aankoms het ons alternatiewe eenhede, verder weg van die rumoer, aan julle beskikbaar gestel. Ons verstaan egter dat julle die eenhede met 'n bad verkies het en daarom besluit het om in die oorspronklik toegewysde eenhede te bly. Ons respekteer daardie besluit en is jammer dat die geraas julle verblyf beïnvloed het. Ons probeer ons bes om verskillende groepe op die perseel so te plaas dat gaste wat rus en stilte verkies, nie deur kontrakteurs, partytjies of ander aktiwiteite geraak word nie. Ongelukkig het dit in hierdie geval nie verlopen soos beplan nie. Ons neem ook kennis van julle terugvoer oor die badkamers en sal die opgradering van daardie standaard-eenhede ondersoek. Die alternatiewe eenhede wat ons aangebied het, is van 'n hoër standaard, maar ons bly daartoe verbind om al ons eenhede voortdurend te verbeter. Nogmaals dankie vir julle terugvoer en ons opregte verskoning vir die ongerief. Ons kantoor sal ook met julle in verbinding tree. Ons hoop ons kry weer die geleentheid om julle in die toekoms te verwelkom en vir julle 'n baie beter ervaring te bied. Vriendelike groete, Golden Lantern Guesthouse

It was short, but I was able to rest well. Service was good. I slept wonderfully. It's peaceful and quiet.

Dit was kort, maar ek kon mooi uitrus. Diens was goed. Ek het heerlik geslaap. Dit is rustig en stil.
