Dirty, ad is misleading.
Didn't ask for 4 bed but paid for it. Paid for B&B but was too dirty to eat there. It's located behind businesses that wasn't mentioned.

Behalwe vir die ontbyt wat in die haak was en met goeie diens, is die gastehuis beslis 3derangs.

Apart from the breakfast which was spot on and with good service, the guest house is definitely 3rd rate.
After arrival indicated where I had to drive and then on a small lawn, where we had to unhook the trailer, turn around, reverse the car and hook up the trailer again and then parked next to the building where there were puddles of rainwater and therefore not nice to pack up for good. Lack of blankets in cold Ermelo and had to ask friends for extras in one room. I was alone in a double room with bathroom: toilet seat loose, no container for toilet roll and had to put it on the floor from the windowsill to use! No mirror by the sink, but a large mirror on the opposite wall! Bedside lamp not properly plugged in! I am extremely disappointed that the website has such a guest house on your books.

No clean bedding, very dirty. No shower door, lights hanging from roof. Extremely poor and in no way consistent with what is advertised. Avoid at all costs!

Lovely stay with good service and delicious breakfast.
My wife and I stayed here on our way to our honeymoon. The service was very good and the place is well decorated. Very large bathrooms. The breakfast was also very tasty and enough to almost count as a brunch.

We didn't spend the night at La Picasso because there were other guests from a wedding. They referred us to Pablo Guesthouse.
I was informed on Friday morning that our reservation was being moved to Pablo Guesthouse because many other guests from a wedding were going to spend the night at La Picasso. I agreed, but on our arrival at Pablo Guesthouse there was not exactly anyone to receive us and the dining hall was a mess. It looked like they were still cleaning and it was already late afternoon. At least our room was neat and equipped with the necessary, but the bed was not comfortable at all. Later in the afternoon and next morning there was a very helpful man who made sure everything went well. But our first impressions were not to our liking. Breakfast was standard and served at the time we requested.

Clean, but a bit run down.
Our towels were tattered, only one blanket, TV didn't work, hot blanket didn't work and then the power went out and the lamp oil that was given to us also fell apart. The pots look like old horn pots full of burn marks, the hotplate has definitely seen better days, 1 white glass and 1 champagne glass that we had to use. The plates didn't match either, like 2 different breakfast bowls. Knives and forks didn't match, with red plastic spoons for teaspoons. Had sugar bowl as an ashtray outside, after I said I don't throw logs on the floor. Everyone was friendly and helpful, but it really lacks that special attention to detail that one expects from a guest house. could be a really nice place.

Friendly, competent service at an economically affordable, multi-cultural guest house.
The guest house address is somewhat difficult to find. The staff are friendly and accommodating and certainly provide competent service at this economically affordable, multi-cultural guest house that caters well for basic comfort needs and is not focused on luxuries. The breakfast costs are additional.

Geagte Andries,
Dankie vir u resensie en ongelukkig ons kan niks doen met die lawai van die kuier plek oorkant maar sal dit onder die aandag van ons buurman bring. Met betrekking tot parkeer plek ongellukig Dave was baie families op daardie aand vir die skool kompetisie en ander families het meer as een kar gebruik.
Groete,

Absolutely pathetic!
Weak, weak, weak! Would not recommend to anyone. Bedding and pillows are used and creepy. No water if power is off. Room looks dirty, ceiling falling out piece by piece. This place is definitely never seeing me again. Photos are false advertising.

Hi Nicoleen
I have met with our team regarding the happenings on the day in question. Our apology regarding the power failure as it was from the side of the Municipality. Notwithstanding the generator being put on I'm told the outside block did not have electricity and such has been brought to the attention of our electricians.
Regarding your comment on cleanliness and bedding quality and cleanliness, such is of high priority to us especially taking cognisance of our clientele being from both private sector ,and international.
We have been recently accorded the Lilizela award for the best 3 star bed and breakfast in Mpumalanga. Thus we unreservedly apologised for not meeting your expectations.
Regards,
Roy

We had no hot water. The room's bedding was not completely clean. We didn't enjoy it and wouldn't recommend it to anyone else.

It was good for an overnight stay.
The place is very small. In the kitchen you cannot draw water properly. The sink is too small. The bathroom light upstairs is completely open, which is very dangerous for anyone. The towel rail is broken and lying on the ground. I'm not just complaining about accommodation, because I'm only too grateful for the opportunity. Short little maintenance.

The welcome and the customer service were excellent, as well as during load shedding.
The only problem was that there were not enough places to eat for breakfast, as a group was also booked in, but Comfort went so far as to give us the discount on the breakfast.

The rooms were sub-standard and neglected.
In the bathroom, the shower head e.g. through a torn hole in the ceiling. At least the bedding was clean. The towels were torn and stained. With breakfast, the food was already finished when we arrived at 8:00 (even though breakfast continues until 9:00).

I will never go there again. Very poor service.
We arranged in advance with La Picasso (with the owner himself) that we could check in earlier (I had to start work already at 12:00 and check-in time was only from 14:00). The owner let it be known that it was no problem. We were there at 10:15 just to confirm that we could check in at 11:30. When we got there no one knew about our early check-in time. They let us go from one place to another (another place that is not even part of La Picasso) and after a big struggle we got a room. Our room was still not ready. The cleaning lady just walked into our room without knocking. I was getting dressed. We didn't even stay for breakfast. We just wanted to get out there.
