94 guests' feedbackA very cute place right by the sea. Unfortunately, our guests above us made it a bit unpleasant. It takes all kinds of people to make the world go round. There are also just too many people bothering you for money. Just walk in while you sit and eat. So just lock your security door when it gets dark. Too bad Lambertsbaai has been affected like this. I would recommend Albatross, but unfortunately not Lambertsbaai.
Thank you very much for your hospitality. My stay was the best.
Incredibly delicious, beautiful everything your heart desires and very friendly staff, you feel so at home. Nice fresh fish at the port!
Holiday to the West Coast and Northern Cape.
The place is across the street from the sea. Down the bank is a footpath to a small bay. The unit is nicely furnished to enjoy a holiday in.
We had a nice stay, it was only for one night. I would suggest they could upgrade a bit and beautify. Towels were already old.
Stay was nice and staff very hospitable.
Very nice, thank you. come again
Friendly host. Neat and clean. Good place for relaxation.
Great stay. Clean and tidy. It was very cold, but we were treated to electric blankets and heaters.
Stay warm and rest well.
No, the place was not cleaned well. The shower is full of mold, there was still old cooked food in the fridge, and the bed is small. My feet were dangling.
See stars.
Will definitely be back.
Friendly welcome and wonderful stay.
View is beautiful. Quiet part of town. Will stay there again.
Was a great experience, West Coast people, heart people, location best in town and value for money. Definitely recommend!
We were kindly received and had a wonderful stay and rest. Everything was within walking distance and we had the most beautiful sea view. Everything was in good and clean condition and really couldn't fault anything.
Comfortable one bedroom apartment. Was a little worried about the vehicle outside overnight, but there is a security guard watching. Keep load shedding in mind.
Just one night was too short to enjoy the beautiful town and accommodation. The hostess was so nice and we had a wonderful stay.
It was very neat and clean and the sea's proximity was very nice.
Beachfront accommodation was perfect. Did not like being harrassed by informal traders.
Our stay at Albatross No. 1 was awfully nice. We could sit and relax and look out at the sea as the sun went down.
Owners come to welcome and help with check-in. Albetross was indeed located with a beautiful sea view from the living area. Clean and comfortable. Car stays in the street in front of the apartment, we had no problems. It was a pleasant stay for one night.
People come at 22h00 to order food and walk around cars. Other than that, no complaints. Safety is a big issue.
Great place to spend a weekend with the sea on your doorstep.
There was no safe parking, you couldn't dare go out on the porch or walk on the beach without being mobbed by beggars. Unsafe, couldn't even braai in braai facilities.
The location was perfect, but for the rest extremely poor. On the last day of our stay, we wanted to barbecue but couldn't because of the sewage stench throughout our place, so we had to look for a restaurant to eat at the last minute. We had to call each time to say that the sewer was backing up right at our only door. The stench was unbearable! If the owners know this is a regular problem, they should arrange for the tank to be emptied more frequently during busy holiday seasons. The first time is still excusable, but not the second time. I have pictures to prove how disgusting the experience was. Would I recommend Albatross to anyone? Definitely not.
The sliding door and gate can see it be broken into a few times. The screwdriver marks of the incident are still very visible on the door. We hardly slept the night. Decided not to spend 2nd night. The place smells of mould. The bathroom has mould on the walls and the shower is even worse. There's a carport in the bedroom full of sand and as old as my grandmother.
Beautiful sea view. Unit well equipped and friendly reception.
Amazing! We would definitely come again. Love it.
Beautifully clean and close to the beach and shops.
Lovely! Friendly welcome. Very nice stay. Pet friendly which is a plus.
My fiancé and I really enjoyed the beautiful sea view. Thank you.
Beautiful seabirds, beautiful history.
It was so nice that we stayed an extra day. Could walk to the restaurant and have a nice barbecue.
Nice beaches and small shops.
Excellent, friendly and helpful staff.
Great place, clean.
In short, I just want to inform you that I will definitely come again. Regards. Justin.
Nice and tidy apartment, friendly hostesses. Only the street hawkers who keep bothering you at the door. No secure parking. Car is parked in front of the unit in the street. No security.
Was very nice, would have been better and more reassured if there was a safer place for vehicle. There is also no aircon or fan.
Good service. Nice clean. Parking space available.
Albetros' management did offer alternative accommodation when we wanted to pack up and look for another place and we are very grateful for that, but I don't think Lamberstbaai will see us again anytime soon. At Albetros, the vehicles park in front of the street and every now and then someone knocks on your door who wants to sell you a rogue lobster or something. Some have no end and arrive there again at 9h or 10h. The braai is also at the front on the street side and this again has its own challenges with the people wandering in the street. For us it felt as if one could not really relax and enjoy the sea. A fence in front might help one to enjoy the view and sea in peace. The kitchen/living room is spacious enough, as is the room & bathroom. Everything was very clean. The wifi was non-existent at times. The signal was off more than on and very frustrating for those of us who might want to use it. Later we only used our data. The alternative accommodation for the 1 night also had no WiFi.
I did not feel safe with the movement of people in the street. Security gate just on one side of glass door.
Neat and clean. Excellent sea view. Will stay here again. Beggars were just annoying, but not something that any one can do to prevent this.
Hostess, Maria, was incredibly friendly and had a really interesting conversation.
The unit is small but very neat.
Take it easy, come again.
The view from the room was absolutely spectacular.
Only problem is that there is no security.
Owner was very friendly. Due to the coastal climate, there were some kitchen appliances that were rusty, e.g. the stove.
It's good value for money accommodation, very nice and spacious.
Clean, nice accommodation with the most beautiful view, absolutely value for money for 2 people.
The stay was definitely value for our money. We were kindly received, the place was very clean and tidy, we just felt at home. Very peaceful and the view is fantastic. What was very noticeable was that the guests did not bother each other in any way in terms of noise etc. not. I will definitely come again and definitely recommend to other people (which I have already done). Albatross is tops.
If I could stay for a week I really would. I would recommend any person to go, it was quiet. I will definitely go again.
Neat, everything within walking distance.
The place is neat, well maintained with a very friendly manager. Genuine West Coast hospitality.
It was kid friendly and had everything we wanted. The apartment was comfortable and homely.
We have been going to Lamberts Bay for 10 years. This time our visit was not pleasant at all. The first night after we had driven 1000 km and were tired, there was a bunch above us who had no respect for others. It only calmed down at 2 o'clock the next morning and we could sleep. The second night new guests above us, it was a nightmare. No sleep again! This went on for 3 nights. At least we could sleep peacefully on the last night of our stay. There was no discipline or rules. I really feel so disappointed with our stay. Yes, you don't know who your neighbors will be when you are on holiday, but really this holiday was a circus.
The apartment was recently upgraded. Everything is basically new with fantastic facilities for a family that wants to prepare their own food. The furniture, cutlery and bedding are all superb. The only problem I encountered is that my car had to be parked in front of the apartment just off the street. That's why I only gave safety three stars.
Hester was very helpful and we were well cared for!
Very relaxing with perfect view.
Very friendly and helpful owners. Clean, spacious and comfortable. Wish our stay was longer.
Lambertsbaai is a very quiet area and there is perhaps too little to do for people to really visit the area for more than 2 days.
Not a lot of kitchen utensils and cookware and serving bowls. TV very small. Parking in the street which is not very safe.
The host was amazing. Will definitely return. When we got lost she met us at the closet petrol station and upgraded our apartment as the weather was a bit cold for an outside braai. The apartment has everything you need. It's clean and was perfect for 2 people.
The place is very clean and beautiful, enough for 2 people, nice big shower with strong water flow and enough hot water! The kitchen has everything you need in the sense of pots and pans, knives and forks, etc., but bring all your own spices like salt and pepper because there is no such thing at all.
Friendly and helpful staff. Couldn't ask for a better apartment with a perfect location.
Peaceful and the sea view is fantastic.
We really enjoyed the lovely view of the sea from the lounge, as well as being able to go for walks on the beachfront. The apartment was really clean and comfortable, although we felt uneasy with a number of beggars and sellers loitering around. Our hostess went out of her way to make us welcome.
Our first time in Lambertsbaai and what a surprise - wonderful sea view with waves crashing all the time. Unfortunately we had to come back early due to earlier births of a grandchild. We had to lock up as we are on the ground floor and often heard people knocking on the windows. A bag of wood was also stolen from the braai. Next time we will stay on the top floor. We definitely recommend it for someone looking for a quiet getaway.
Our stay was very pleasant, the weather was perfect for the short getaway. There are a couple of very decent coffee shops within walking distance. The view is perfect, the sunsets worth photographing!
It's a very nice place and safe with a very nice view of the sea.
Will definitely use Albatros in the future and definitely recommend.
Apartment unit was amazing.
Comfortable and very neat. Everything that's needed. Will definitely go there again.
It was very nice there. We enjoyed it very much.
Unit 1 is very comfortable and tidy inside, but will not spend the night there due to the fact that the unit is directly on the street and bothers the street walkers a lot. I was in Unit 6 and definitely recommended. Very satisfied with Hester's service and she is very professional and friendly.
Thanks so much, Bea, for the welcome we received. Everything was neat and the view absolutely fabulous. We can't wait to return to that little slice of heaven.
Stay was great, will definitely come again.
A small, neat unit tight next to the ocean.
Skoon en netjiese akkommodasie. Vriendelike en behulpsame personeel.
Thank you. We had a great stay.
We spent the night on our way to Cape Town. It's very neat and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The best part was that it is on the beach. It was nice to have the surf on your doorstep.
We were very well received, the room was ready and tidy. Slept very well and visited. Will book there again.
It was a very nice place to stay at. Would just have liked one safe parking for my car. But Will go back anytime.
Albatros 1 was comfortable, clean and tidy. Satisfied the basic needs. The hostess received us kindly and was helpful.
Thank you so much, Hester, we enjoyed every moment and would come back anytime. Thanks for parking and apartment. Thanks for the extra service. The place is clean and tidy and the view is breathtaking. I took the most beautiful photos.
Parking was initially a concern as we could only park in the street. Was very grateful where arrangements were made for more secure parking. Electric blankets would have been a helpful addition as it was quite cold. Felt that the shower area could have been somewhat cleaner. But I enjoyed the stay and will definitely stay there again. Reception was good.
The unit was very nice, clean and tidy, nicely furnished.
