69 guests' feedbackI had a very nice stay. Uncle Johan, the owner, is a very wise man and the place will see me again. Super nice, peaceful, quiet and everything you would need for a holiday.
I had a lovely stay. The only critique I would have is that there was no writing desk in the room.
The accommodation was excellent with a peaceful environment.
Nice place to spend the night. Manager referred to great restaurant choices.
Our host was extremely accommodating and helpful.
Good price and location. Quality.
Nice, thank you very much, good service.
Everything was clean. Everything was excellent.
The owner received me professionally and kindly and he went absolutely out of his way to accommodate me and make me feel at home and comfortable. He was also available all the time for his guests. My stay was peaceful and quiet and my vehicle was safe in private parking. I can recommend Bay Vista and would definitely stay there again. Thank you very much!
Neat and safe, incredibly good customer service. I can't wait to visit again!
Owner was very helpful and willing to help with anything.
Safe environment with great service delivery.
Good overnight stay. Comply with requirements.
Spent one night, there were also other people in the house. Must be quiet and peaceful in the house, it has wooden floors and sound travels through the house.
Central location that is easily accessible. Other guests were all quiet and composed and also considerate of others. Beautiful old home with lots of character. Bed, bedding and towels were very good quality and neat and clean.
The location was easy to find, close to harbour.
Not saying it's a backpackers. The room was cramped and hot. The bathrooms were clean, but the kitchen was full of dirty dishes.
The mattress needs to be replaced urgently, even if it is a "backpackers".
Our favorite vacation spot in the country!
The owner himself came to welcome us personally that was a plus and gave us personal service. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. So big ups to them.
The room we had could really do with a little renovation. The curtains hang the way they want and are very old fashioned, the bedding and bed could also be better.
Was very nice thank you and clean. Will visit again, nice view.
Very clean, neat, and African! Had a great time. Johan, the host received us kindly and explained everything well. I would definitely stay there again.
Had a great stay, would recommend for a short or long term stay.
Uncle Johan is extremely friendly and helpful.
The rooms are very clean and we had a very nice stay.
See stars.
It was very beautiful and the personal service was great.
I just want to mention that I didn't arrive until 22:45 that evening and that someone received us. We were terribly grateful for this.
Great stay, very peaceful and very central. Walking distance from all facilities.
Neat and clean, fantastic view, friendly host, very good reception, intended for young people, couples or singles, but I don't suggest for older people.
Room very stuffy and small. Bed low and mattress soft.
I had a very pleasant stay.
Nice central. Clean and tidy facilities.
It was truly value for money. Very neat and very clean. The owner Johann Binneman very helpful and pleasant. High quality service.
The reception was good and Johan made us feel very much at home. As if we were at home. Made good suggestions about where we could eat and what was going on in and around Mossel Bay. We were at home and could use the kitchen and braai facilities.
When I arrived they did not have record of my first night's stay even though I had paid the deposit. When needed to be hospitalized for the second night of night stay I advised Bay Vista accordingly but was still charged the full amount for the second night even though it was only my suitcase that occupied the room. Bay Vista did not have bookings for the room either!
Would suggest that air cooling of some kind be placed in the room.
The facilities are clean and neat and the owner is very good with his guests. The place is not set for convenience, it's very basic. It's just a bed, do not expect anything more.
We only stayed one night. Johan received us very kindly and when we struggled to find Bay Vista, Johan kindly helped us by phone to get to our destination. Our room was very clean and tidy. Available facilities were shown to us as well as Johan pointed out the best places to eat. Can definitely recommend Bay Vista. Slept well and restaurants and their workers were so friendly. Seafood fresh from the sea.
The atmosphere at the guesthouse makes you think of your own. All facilities are freely available for use, there is even a place to braai. The owner/manager is friendly, pleased to help and to tell you about all of Mossel Bay's gems. I would strongly recommend this place. And they have their own bedding.
We stopped at a few places on our road trip. It was our very first time in a backpackers and we didn't know what to expect. It was our last night of vacation when Johan welcomed us. The children were immediately happy with the Wi-Fi and Johan recommended the best place for dinner, Kaai 4, and breakfast, Delfino's. Everything was clean and tidy and peaceful. We will definitely be back!
It was an indescribable experience, the safety of our vehicle was a big surprise for us. The kindness of the owner himself, it was an experience to never forget.
The owner was friendly and the place has a homey feeling. I would go back there anytime.
The owner was very friendly and helpful and moved us to another room without any extra charges, which we really appreciated, our room was neat and safe and clean.
We had a nice stay. Everything was nice and clean. Kitchen well equipped. Coffee, tea available for use as much as you want. The host told very nicely where there are different delicious coffee and places to eat - the references were very good and we had a great time. We slept in the front double room. The only thing I would recommend to the host is to put dark blinds in the front and side windows so that the outside lights don't shine so brightly into the room. But otherwise everything was good and delicious. Thank you very much.
Was expensive - other travellers paid R250 per night. Owners gave breakfast coupon - wonderful surprise.
The accommodation was very nice and peaceful. Friendly reception.
Room was clean and neat. Tranquil area.
My stay at Bay Vista Guesthouse was quite acceptable. All it needs is safe parking and that will help the place's popularity.
Very neat and very clean. Customer service is fantastic and I will recommend it to anyone.
Johan, the owner, was professional, considertae, friendly and helpful. Bay View is a cozy place and i didn't really expect the luxury from a backpackers lodge. It had everything I needed for a comfortable stay and I felt very safe. Had such a stunning view and my car was safe in front of the building. It was peculiar, but Johan assured we that nothing would happen. I will go stay there again anytime. Thanks to Johan and the LekkeSlaap team for a pleasant stay.
Fantastic hospitality from Johann. Felt so welcome and comfortable, it was like being at home! Very clean and neat. Great value for money.
I really enjoyed by stay. So relaxing!
Neat and friendly. We were welcomed and felt at home.
Many thanks to Johan and LekkeSlaap. I enjoyed it at Bay Vista and will definitely book there again. Johan, you are excellent with your hospitality. See you again very soon.
Our booking was handled promptly. The accommodation was neat and comfortable. Very friendly service. Will definitely go there again.
The room and facilities are efficient and tidy, as are the common areas of kitchen, dining room and TV room. Even the parking for vehicles in the street in front of the building is totally safe and convenient. There is only a designated smoking area, so that non-smoking guests are not harmed.
Very nice stay. Johann is very friendly and goes the extra mile. I would avoid the middle rooms in the summer though. No ventilation. Maybe air conditioning an option? But other than that there are no complaints. It was delicious. Thank you.
Only problem was that we had to park our car in the street. It is however a safe area.
When booking, I enquired about safe parking as we were travelling on motorbikes. They told me that they had safe parking. Had to park my motorbikes on the street. Very unhappy.
We had such a nice stay we didn't want to leave! Johan was so hospitable and helpful, we felt like family.
I would recommend the place Bay Vista. Johan the owner was excellent,. Shuttle service and all amenities nice. Had room for my motorcycle.
Cheap accommodation but house and rooms are clean, neat and well maintained. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival. Felt my car was safe parked on the street as cameras cover the area and the owner keeps an eye on the cars as well. A pleasant and unexpected surprise on departure was a generous meal voucher for breakfast. I would recommend Bay Vists to anyone requiring inexpensive, quiet accommodation.
The room where we slept should rather be used as a storage room, it's really not meant for paying guests. We got bitterly hot in the room with no window or ventilation, it was horrible! We will definitely not go again.
