Villa Schreiner Guest House

I hate writing bad reviews on a place but would have liked to have been warned myself. The room was not in a good condition and dirty. The carpet was damp and stained. The step up to the room was crumbling. The tie back was broken and could easily have hurt someone. The curtains were not clean. There was no net curtaining and the room (described as a superior room) looked onto the pool and boma and there were people walking past so the only privacy we had was closing the curtains and then the room was a dark and stuffy hole. The fan was working but broken (someone had tried to fix it with electrical tape but it didn't work) and had to be propped up. Electrics were dodgy - with wires exposed on the bedside lamp, had to be shaken to enable the electricity to come through. The bathroom was probably the best of the room but even then spoilt by towels that were past their best by a long way (we borrowed towels from a friend in the area). There was a big hole in the tiles next to the bath, where anything could have crawled in or out. We had just travelled from a place where the owner had tried so hard (and unbelievably had the same sort of rating as Villa Schreiner which makes a mockery of the whole rating system). The breakfast was awful and had obviously been made the night before. The omelette had cheese that had once been melted but was just heated up in the morning. It was so disappointing as we had looked forward to this stay for so long. We only stayed one night and relinquished the other 3 nights. We are not fussy and have stayed in rustic places around South Africa. But all in context. There is no excuse for a place that is just plain dirty. This is the first time that we have had such a bad experience in all our travels around South Africa.

The worst place i have been!terrible,dirty. I cant believe,dust and everything I never slept . The fridge noise all night I had to unplug But never sleep Needs just 10 minutes to stay inside to have breathing problems. Bad vibes

Sherwin and Throshini are amazing hosts and cant do enough for you. The wifi is excellent and the pool is always sparkling. We have been using them for 5 years and best value for money. Quiet peaceful area.
