Daar is beter plekke om te bly.

Dis ongewoon om eers 16h00 te mag inboek. Die bepaling dat die 'ekonomiese' kamer die 'gemeenskaplike areas' en swembad uitsluit, het by my 'n gevoel van 'n 'tweede klas' kuiergas teweeggebring. Daar was geen verwelkomende ekstratjies soos by ander plekke nie (bv. beskuit, vrugte, sjokolade). Boonop was die melk reeds verval teen die vorige jaar se datum, dus kon ek nie my vroegoggendkoffie geniet nie. Die een muurprop was nie beskikbaar nie, en daar was amper geen warm water in die stort nie. Ek wou gaan rus, weg van my besige praktyk, maar die eienaar het die tyd gebruik om my van haar baie persoonlike probleme te vertel, wat nie net onprofessioneel en ongenooid was nie, maar my emosioneel belas het. Ek het haar daarvan in kennis gestel en 'n rekening vir my diens gestuur (ek is 'n terapeut): sy het nie gereageer of om verskoning gevra nie. Die ervaring was onaangenaam en ek het so gou moontlik die oggend vertrek.

There are better places to stay.

It is unusual not to be allowed to check in until 16h00. The provision that the 'economy' room excludes the 'common areas' and swimming pool made me feel like a 'second class' guest. There were no welcoming extras like at other places (eg biscuits, fruit, chocolate). Besides, the milk was already expired by the previous year's date, so I couldn't enjoy my early morning coffee. The one wall plug was not available, and there was almost no hot water in the shower. I wanted to rest, away from my busy practice, but the owner used the time to tell me about her very personal problems, which was not only unprofessional and uninvited, but emotionally taxing. I informed her about it and sent a bill for my service (I am a therapist): she did not respond or apologize. The experience was unpleasant and I left as soon as possible in the morning.

Ons advertensie is deursigtig en die toegangsreëls is duidelik. U het gekies vir die ekonomiese kamer van R550. Daar is luukse eenhede ook. Dieselfde beginsel geld vir ekonomiese en besigheidsklas vlieg. U het hazelnutfilter-koffie, rooibostee en vyf rose, sowel as kafeïenvrye koffie gratis ontvang. Daar was 'n verwelkomingskaartjie op die bed. Ons beroep ons op uitstekende diens. Die melk se groot verpakkings vervaldatum was korrek, die individuele verpakkings vervaldatum was egter Desember 2023. Ons het vars melk aan u verskaf en ons verskoning aangebied. U kon nie met die internasionale muurprop werk nie. Daar was genoeg warm water, alhoewel daar 'n algehele waterdruk probleem was aan die munisipaliteit se kant. U het 'n probleem gehad met die gaste bo u wat 'n bordspeletjie op die balkon gespeel het, en het hulle stil gemaak oorkant my slaapkamer. Ons het vroeër die dag gesels soos 'n gasvrou normaalweg met haar gaste sou gesels. U het my ingelig oor u huwelik, en ek het geantwoord dat ons almal lewensstories het. Ek het u nie om raad gevra nie, en as u gasvrou was ek nie bewus dat u 'n terapeut was nie. As u gasvrou is ek altyd professioneel en ken ek my plek. Ek kom ook uit die koöperatiewe wêreld. U is verwelkom en was haastig om te gaan eet - daarom is die registrasievorm aan u gegee om op u eie tyd te voltooi.

Ons het so welkom gevoel. Die eienaar het ons vriendelik verwelkom en alles was netjies en gereed. Hulle dink aan klein goedjies, soos om 'n spaar batterypak in jou kamer gereed te hê vir as jy wil uitgaan en jou foon is pap. Heerlike, onverwagte skons ontvang op Valentynsoggend.

The place looks neat but dog hair and the smell of dog spoiled our stay.

The master bedroom should not be rented out in the condition it is - the mattress is slept in and smells like dog while the shower randomly blocks. The guest rooms are well furnished, but here too, one room's bedding smelled of dog with fleas in it, after the bedding had been changed for the second week of our stay.
