It was adequate. The unit was spacious and clean. However, Wi-Fi as advertised was not available and there was no cell phone signal, which made it difficult for us to plan our next day's trip.

Artistically appointed old Karoo Victorian let down by poor bathroom facilities. As two friends on motorcycle journey through the Karoo, we were happy to share a bathroom but you not only have to walk through the other bedroom to get to the bathroom, there was no shower and not enough hot water to run two baths one after another. If you are a couple and don't mind sharing bath water like my wife and I do, then you will be comfortable here (as I was in the end), but two independent biker friends, not so much. My mate actually booked into the hotel down the road. Then we were both happy! I also had to ask for a rubbish bin when there should have been one in each room and one in the bathroom, and was also miffed that the bathroom window was wired shut and the front door had no lock on it, although there was a security door with a padlock.

Only slept over one night. Haven't been to Steytlerville before. Doesn't look like the photos at all. Front porch was bare with no chair or bench. Just a roll of fox wire lay there. Later in the afternoon it was fixed between some pillars with wall nails with great noise, don't know its purpose. There was only a kettle, no microwave or stove to cook or heat anything. No porridge bowls or plates to eat out the next morning. The water only ran with a very small trickle and no hot water in the evening. Only one side a very faint bedside or reading lamp. Of course not Wi-Fi and TV. If the rate was half that, it would still be acceptable, but it was actually more, or the same as the very nice places in George, Keurboomstrand, Kaap St Francis, Uitenhage, and so on.

Net een aand oorgeslaap. Was nog nie voorheen in Steytlerville. Lyk glad nie soos op die fotos nie. Voorstoep was kaal met geen stoel of bank. Net 'n rol jakkalsdraad het daar gelê. Dit is later die middag met groot geraas tussen sommige pilare met muurspykers vasgemaak, weet nie doel daarvan. Daar was slegs 'n ketel, geen mikrogolf of stoof om iets te kook of warm te maak. Geen papbakkies of borde om volgende môre uit te eet nie. Die water het slegs met 'n baie klein straaltjie geloop en geen warm water die aand nie. Net een kant 'n baie flou bed- of leeslampie. Natuurlik nie Wi-Fi en TV nie. Indien die tarief die helfte minder was, sou dit nog aanvaarbaar wees, maar dit was eintlik meer, of dieselfde as die baie oulike plekke in George, Keurboomstrand, Kaap St Francis, Uitenhage, en so aan.

Unfortunately with covid the occupancy rate is down drastically resulting in cutting back on WiFi for guests. We are a budget establishment that is at least 40% cheaper and for a one-night budget sleep, there is no access to the full kitchen during covid. Our municipality is experiencing difficulties in supplying water and thus just like load-shedding etc all South Africans are affected. I did apologize and explain about the water and stressed that if there was anything at all you needed you to need only to ask. Perhaps looking at a much more expensive place would have been better for you. You did also check in early while we were busy with maintenance so please a little tolerance and respect. If there is anything else, feel free to vent.

Very nice with a Karoo-feeling. It is good value for money and nice and clean. We had a great stay.

Baie lekker met 'n Karoogevoel. Dit is goeie waarde vir geld en mooi netjies en skoon. Ons het baie lekker gebly.

It was a unique experience. The house was well furnished and was clean had a good time. Very centrally located and the service was good.

Dit was 'n unieke ervaring. Die huis was goed ingerig en was skoon het lekker gekuier. Uiters sentraal geleë en die diens was goed.

Very basic place to sleep. Pretty much a bed and a basic bathroom/shower. The host was very attentive and helped as best he could. Power in the town was down from 06h00 to late afternoon due to non-payment by the municipality!

Baie basiese plek om by te slaap. Dis basies 'n bed en 'n badkamer/stort. Die gasheer is baie aandagtig en help waar dit kan. Die krag was af in die dorp vanaf 06:00 tot laat die namiddag as gevolg van die feit dat die munisipaliteit nie betaal het nie.

Peaceful Karoo atmosphere. Beautiful village. Beautiful town, neat. Beautiful old buildings. Hotel is from another world. Hotel reception is warm and hospitable.

Rustige Karoo-atmosfeer. Pragtige dorpie. Pragtige dorp, netjies. Pragtige ou geboue. Hotel is uit 'n ander wëreld. Hotelontvangs is hartlik en gasvry.

Pathetic. Very bad. Place is not clean, covered with mosquitoes, sleep was impossible. It's not a B&B, much less self-catering. There is nothing, only a kettle, no microwave or stove to cook or heat food. Broken blinds on window, no curtains, people looking inside bedroom. Owner not helpful at all. Would not recommend it.

Pathetic. Baie sleg. Plek is nie skoon nie, oortrek van muskiete, slaap was onmoontlik. Dis nie 'n B&B nie, nog minder selfsorg. Daar is niks, net 'n waterketel, g'n mikrogolf of stoof om kos te maak of verhit nie. Gebreekte blindings op venster, geen gordyne, mense kyk binne in slaapkamer. Eienaar glad nie behulpsaam nie. Sal dit nie aanbeveel nie.

It was pleasant with nice friends. One night is enough. It would be nice if each room could have its own bathroom.

Dit was aangenaam saam met lekker vriende. Een aand is genoeg. Dit sal lekker wees as elke kamer sy eie badkamer kan hê.
