191 guests' feedbackVery nice stay in a quiet environment. I would recommend that the owner maybe put a fan in the unit. It was terribly hot when we got there, and a fan would have helped a lot to break the heat a bit. Would still recommend the accommodation to someone just looking for a place to sleep for the night.
Neat, affordable and safe. Friendly reception.
As the name says, it is ideal for overnight use. Friendly reception and the kitchen is well equipped.
It was awesome, thank you very much.
I really enjoyed my stay. The place was really good, clean, and safe.
We had a very nice stay. Very kindly received by the hostess. Would have liked some dish soap to wash the cups myself and leave the place tidy. Otherwise, had no problem.
We had a very nice stay. Is ideal to sleep over for one night.
We slept very well. It was an ideal place to sleep over after a long day on the road.
It met all my needs. Would definitely recommend them.
Nice stay thank you.
Very nice stay, lovely people.
It was quiet and very tidy, perfect for a quick stopover after the long drive from Gauteng. Very cutely furnished and we had a very soft and cuddly sleep.
Everything we needed.
Excellent overnight facility for a weary traveler!
Very nice. Calm and quiet.
We found the place easily, it was very neat and the bed was wonderful to sleep on. The hosts were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend for a pocket sized sleepover on the road, plus it's pet friendly!
We had a wonderful stay. The place is neat, well furnished, very clean and tidy. We slept well after the long journey.
Thank you very much, there were no problems. Everything is clean and very tidy.
It's a wonderful place. So comfortable and I slept so well. That's just not true.
Everything was nice except it lacks zircon very hot.
Great for overnight. A kitchen sink would help a lot though.
Very nice stay. Quiet environment.
Everything was fine except that I think they could really put a fan in the room and living room. It was uncomfortably warm.
It was fair for the price - and we didn't need anything more for the short stopover. Everything was clean and tidy. However, it is very small and cramped. No hot water at the bathroom sink. No faucet/sink in the kitchen/lounge - dish only - water from the bathroom. No table in the kitchen/living room - just 2 standing trays. Miraculously there were no mosquitoes - January in B. West! The heat was severe in the afternoon - fan only. Shade net for car was a beast. Satisfied for the price.
Private and peaceful, awesome.
Very peaceful and safe place. The people were also very nice and helpful. Will use them again.
Neat and comfortable accommodation with everything you need.
Very cute place. Would just suggest that they put the WiFi password in the slot or give it to the guests on arrival. Will stay there again.
Was second visit. Nice stay.
Nice place to stay!
Friendly reception, good night's rest, wonderful stay. Just a pity there is no sink or faucet in the kitchen.
It was very nice.
No hot water except in the shower. No kitchen or sink. It's a bachelor's flat, not a self-catering place. Just a microwave for takeaways. Wi-Fi code not working. Very clean, but very small. No chairs for outside seating. Just plates, knives and forks. So self-catering is actually takeaways.
Very peaceful environment and cute neat place.
We only spent the night there, but would not recommend it for a longer stay. The room is a bit small and cramped, but there is everything we needed. Everything was clean and tidy. The fridge didn't work, but the owner was very helpful in keeping our things in her fridge and freezer until the next morning.
Neat andclean but o kitchenette I. e. no sink/prep/washing-up facilities. No braai. TV offers only Open View, not advertised DStv.
Delicious! Very quiet and peaceful environment. Away from the trucks of the main road. It is relatively small, but there is everything and the kitchen is well equipped.
Very nice resting place for two on the night road between Pretoria and Cape Town.
Perfect for a single overnight stay between a long journey.
The owner is a very friendly lady. Everything is clean and tidy, and she likes to help where she can.
Ideal for overnight accommodation only for single person or couple.
Friendly reception by the hostess. Load shedding period — fully charged rechargeable light available. Clean and tidy. Everything you need for an overnight stay.
Will definitely stay there again when I drive through town.
All the essential requirements for a relaxing night's rest are available amidst friendly and helpful assistance.
Reception was very good.
Place is peaceful and beautiful.

Everything one needs for an overnight stay when on the long road.
This place is a lovely hidden gem. Marina, the host, was lovely and even drove all the way from work early to let us in. There is secure parking behind a locked gate and it is in a quiet neighbourhood which allowed for a good night's sleep. The value for money was excellent and the room was a good size, comfortable and offered a lot of privacy. We will definitely be coming back here.
Perfect for an overnight stop. Comfortable, clean, and private. Pleasant host, would recommend to friends and family.
Clean and tidy. Friendly welcome.
Useful place to sleep. Place is clean and tidy. Friendly service.
If you just want to sleep over, this is the place.
Comfortable and well equipped.
It had been wonderfully quiet and slept like a rock. Will make a visit there again when necessary.
Must ask for the WiFi password if you want to use it.
Place is well located and very safe. Very comfortable, just short of dishwashing area, but otherwise very nice stay. Air conditioner would also help, but the fan was ok.
Very pleasant and comfortable. Host was professional and friendly.
The place is comfortable for 2 people to spend the night. Necessary facilities are available.
A nice place for an overnight stay.
I was hesitant about doing this review because. No kitchenette basin to wash dish's. No hot water tap in the bathroom basin. See photo of the basin, with the single tap. No earth leakage switch on the premises DB board. The only hot water was from boiling the kettle and pouring it in the, which could heat stress break the basin. If these issues were resolved, this place would be well worth the money spent. NB. I was hesitant about talking to anyone about problems because this appears to be a mother daughter run business with the elderly mother receiving guests. NB. No refund is requested, the stay serves our purpose as a night sty over during our trip from Bloemfontein to Cape Town.
Room well equipped and clean. Owner helpful and friendly. Secure parking and area.
Neat and clean with all amenities for overnight travelers. The pigeons wake you up nice and early. We had a nice stay with the friendly people.
Small, but all that is needed. Clean and tidy. Could do with hooks to hang clothes in bathroom.
It was a lovely stay.
It's pretty basic but it's clean, cheap and fine for an overnight stay.
Two-prong adapter did not work. Living room floor lamp could not turn on at all.
Will use it again.
Beautiful garden and very neat apartment. Friendly aunt.
We had a wonderful stay. Friendly hostess and safe parking.
Peaceful overnight stay after long journey, suitable to rest for the continuation of the journey.
Beautiful, neat place. Our overnight stay was very comfortable.
Very friendly service and tidy.
Very clean and quiet. Enjoy a good night's rest.
Friendly, clean and hospitable.
Friendly welcome. Shower works well, bed comfortable, slept well. Only negative was that Wi-Fi was very weak in room, apparently due to Telkom problems.
Friendly and kind owners, very humble and secure.
The place is so quiet and peaceful. We got a great night's rest before heading out the next evening.
Everything one could possibly need for sleeping over, washing, eating and drinking coffee is conveniently available.
Very friendly. Place is neat and clean. Will use it again.
Very nice and comfortable stay. The kids loved playing outside and stretching their legs.
Very nice place, clean with a fan and wifi that works well. Karoo park nearby if you have a few hours.
Everything was clean and tidy. Host and lady friendly.
We didn't get there until after 19:00 in the evening, the owner was very hospitable and quickly helped us with the keys etc. The room is very suitable for an overnight stay if you are travelling. I will definitely stay there again if I pass through Beaufort West.
I suggest the name plate Rus. a little is hidden under branches and just needs to be moved. The bed is too high for short people. Otherwise very, very neat.
Went in winter, it was very cold, no heater. No basin with running water in kitchen and in the bathroom, basin only had cold water. Extremely uncomfortable to wash dishes. Very tiny, hardly any space to move other than that it was fine for an overnight stay.
After a day's journey on busy roads, the setup of Rus-i-Biki lived up to its name, to be able to enjoy a good night's rest!
See stars.
Comfortable sleepover place.
Bed a bit too big for space. Bed not very firm. Maybe 2 single beds instead.
Good overnight stay.
Not well equipped, shower head is broken, fridge does not seal properly, no hot water at sink, no sink in kitchen. For just stopping to sleep and then driving again it's okay, felt like a truck stop with very little hospitality and not very poor accessories.
Clean, tidy accommodation for an overnight stay.
The room (single garage) is too small for a double bed, very cramped. No hot water in the sink. Not a good experience.
Vreeslik bedompig, weet dit was warm, maar met slegs ;n waaier was dit ondraaglik warm.
Very neat and value for money. Very safe, friendly welcome.
Our hostess was friendly and helpful. The accommodation is pleasant and recommendable as a pleasing and economic overnight stay to break one's journey. The bed is comfortable. The facilities are adequate. The accommodation is well price related.
Place is perfect for a night's rest. The owner is a friendly lady and made an effort to accommodate our times. Thank you very much.
Friendly service. Everything that was needed. Good choice of overnight stay for one night.
Lovely hot water in the shower. Bed was a bit creaky and it would have been nice to have a basin in the kitchen, but for the amount we paid it was acceptable/understandable. Hosts were helpful.
Maybe you just have to look at the fridge. During the night he made all kinds of noises which at one point woke us up. (Perhaps it could also be that something was leaning against the fridge that could have caused the noises?)
Rooms were very clean and tidy, and friendly staff. The place is small and cozy for 2 people looking for a comfortable place to rest for the night.
Arina was hospitable, accommodating and her place is perfect for a couple wanting to overnight in Beaufort-West. Neat, quality linen and safe parking are the highlights.
Friendly welcome. No problem when we were a little late. Clean and safe accommodation.
It had only been a simple resting place for the night. What we needed was provided and the owner was very helpful.
We needed a hot shower, warm bed and a safe place to park, and we found it here.
We had a good rest - recommend them for a night or two's sleepover in the area.
Was clean, safe and easy to get.
Comfortable with extra treats and friendly welcome. Thank you very much.
Nice overnight facility. A little neat for big people. But good value for money.
Just what one needs.
Small, cozy and very neat. Very affordable and ideal if you just want to sleep over.
Very uncomfortable bed. We had trouble sleeping and will not be able to stay there again.
The photos on the web page for Rus-i-Biki can be upgraded. It looks completely different, is much neater. The photos I saw made me doubt a little. It looks so yellowish, but it's not.
We were received very kindly and the accommodation is clean and tidy. There is safe parking and we slept well. The only downside is that there is no sink in the kitchen.
Neat place and ideal for a 1 or 2 night stayover.
People are very friendly and it's clean.
Friendly reception. Enjoyed the sleepover.
Good overnight spot!
Very nice and peaceful and quiet, good after a long day's drive.
Take it easy and will visit again.
We were received very kindly. The place is convenient for an overnight stay, but not suitable for longer. The bathroom sink does not have a hot water faucet, making it difficult for a man to shave. We had to boil water in the kettle. There are also no washing-up facilities for the dishes. You can take a look at the mold that has formed around the sink faucet and on the wall above the sink. Furthermore, there are no complaints.
If you're travelling far and need a comfy, neat, simple and value for money place to spend the night so you can resume your travels the next day then this is the perfect place for you.
If you just want to spend the night, this is affordable accommodation with all the necessary facilities.
The accommodation is clean and tidy, but very cramped. There is only cold water at the bathroom sink and the kitchenette does not have a sink. There are only cash payment facilities and they did not have change. It was little and I left it. Mosquitoes and a few flies bothered me and it was particularly hot. The bathroom light did not work. There was a fan, but an aircon would help a lot in the summer with the Karoo heat. It's good enough for 1 night, but not longer.
An air conditioner and a sink in the kitchen. Pull out bed and a table with chairs a better option in the kitchen. Just big enough for 2 people.
Safe, peaceful environment. Neat, clean, good linen. Milk, water bottles in fridge. Friendly reception and farewell.
Quiet area and safe parking.
Would recommend to anyone wanting to sleep over.
Met all my needs.
Mattress to be replaced.
Quiet overnight and very tidy.
Very neat, just very hot.
As per above, all was good.
Would love to have a sink in the kitchen as well as a folding table for you to eat. Otherwise no problem.
Very cute place, would recommend it. Peaceful surroundings, safe and peaceful.
Everything I needed. Quiet and peaceful. Will use again.
The facilities are completely adequate. I will visit there again.
Safe. Good location and quiet.
Would prefer milk then, especially with Covid-19. Running water in the kitchen would be an asset.
They should consider putting in a small on demand hot water heater and sink
Good overnight stay. Everything you need, comfortable bed and nice big fridge.
A noise-free environment and relatively safe with neat and clean accommodation.
It is pleasant to book accommodation through the website.
Would be nice if we could be told where the kitchen light is turned on.
Very calm. Very comfortable for sleeping over and resting after a long journey. Friendly service. Very calm. Can recommend anytime.
Good value for money. Clean and reception was friendly. Definitely the best price around.
I slept great. The bed felt like a little cloud. Very nice. I would prefer to have extra channels on TV. There were almost no available TV channels. The room was very clean and tidy. And the silence helped me a lot, as I am a light sleeper. So the fact that Rus-i-Biki is away from the high street helps a lot! I would have preferred there to be a sink in the kitchen to wash my flask and mug before I hit the long road again, but there was no sink in the kitchen, nor an ashtray to put my rubbish in not. Otherwise, I rested very well and was treated very very kindly by the owner.
The accommodation is safe and clean. The following improvement will make it more pleasant to stay there. Installation of air conditioner in room. Supply of hot water at bathroom sink. Marketed as self-catering, but there is no sink for washing dishes in kitchen area and must be washed in bathroom sink. No braai facilities, small, detached outdoor braai would be pleasant.
We slept here on the way to the cape. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, and very helpful. We traveled with our baby, and he can sleep over for free in his own cot. The place is very small, but cozy and well equipped. We will definitely stay there again!
We enjoyed our stay. It was good value and perfect for a stopover.
Highly recommend, and was happy with facilities.
Very nice stay in a tranquil area, thank you!
Value for money in peaceful, safe and quiet overnight accommodation.
We are very satisfied with our stay at Rus-i-Biki. Everything neat and clean, friendly reception. Slept well!
People very friendly, place very tidy, and absolutely safe, would sleep there again anytime. Thank you very much.
Very neat and well appointed place.
Friendly welcome. Vehicle secure in fenced premises. Ideal for overnight travelers at a bargain rate. Will stay here again in the future.
Will use them again.
Rus-i-Biki immediately came to our minds when we were told that we were only due to arrive at one in the morning due to an unexpected crisis.
We had a warm welcome, very peaceful place to relax after a long day on the road. Can definitely recommend them.
Had a lovely stay, will stay there again.
Warm welcoming and enjoyed the stay.
Very neat. Hospitality!
Ideal for overnight with all necessary implements. Safe parking and good hostess.
Enough space for overnight stay. Quiet and private. Just couldn't get the WiFi.
Enjoyed staying there.
The place was clean and peaceful. I would however recommend changing the bed. The mattress is uncomfortable and the bed makes noises with every move.
Friendly reception and accommodation is in very good condition. Could do with dish sink and hot water at the bathroom sink. Unfortunately, Beaufort West currently has a water problem with the supply being cut off at night. Would highly recommend stay though.
Had a great stay at Rus-i-Biki. The reception was friendly and sincere, especially also about my two small dogs which had been arranged in advance. The unit is well equipped for overnight stays and even longer stays. I really felt very much at home. Thank you.
Small, well rested. Sufficient for overnight stay.
We recommend the overnight stay because we felt safe and could rest wonderfully.
The stay was convenient, neat and clean.
No complaints, very nice.
Thank you very much it was good.
There are many cupboards, but they are empty and just take up space, while the room and bathroom are very cramped.
It is a little uncomfortable that there is no washing up place in the kitchen to wash the dishes. Furthermore, the unit meets all the needs.
We loved the four-legged children. It is a quiet and peaceful area and very safe. The accommodation meets all the basic requirements and is very clean and tidy.
Clean, tidy apartment with the necessary basic amenities. Hostess friendly and helpful, especially since my husband has special needs. Despite the water shortage, provisions were made for clean water and to flush the toilet. More wall plugs would be handy.
Very nice place. Nice place to sleep. Quiet environment. Safe. Reception not very friendly.
When we arrived there after a long road being tired and sweaty we could not take a shower because of the drought. Although we understand that, Guesthouses must make provision for their guests to have hot water or let them know advance that there is no hot water.
5 liters of drinking water was made available. Coffee and tea bags, sugar and milk available when we arrived. Neighbour farms with pigeons - so the chirping of the pigeons can be heard early in the morning. Not annoying.
