66 guests' feedbackWas just good. Everyone was friendly and accommodating.
No problems at all. A suggestion: maybe the breakfast could be varied like a scrambled egg on toast, mince on toast or some baked beans instead of bacon and fried eggs every day.
Shower floor very soapy. Roof in entrance of our room was leaking. No milk provided and the tea was old and unusable. No wall plugs that cater for phone chargers.
Please improve on your customer service, the idea of not changing bedding and cleaning customer rooms every day is an extreme turn-off.
See stars.
Please try to clean your place and teach your staff to be friendly, we cannot all speak isizulu.
Shower's door is broken, parking is not suitable and a very small space where 4 cars are squeezed.
We had a nice stay in a comfortable room. Chris was very helpful with transport from the airport to the guest house as well as next morning with transport to the port. The shopping center nearby is a bonus and we spent a lovely afternoon there.
Beautiful place for a holiday.
Absolutely helpful and will definitely use their service again.
Was pleasant. Had a good rest in the quiet environment.
What I loved most was the staff, they are well trained and very hospitable, their breakfast is wholesome, I only saw the owner once but I must credit him for well mannered, ready to help staff. The venue is clean and quiet, there's a shopping complex across the street, what a convenience! I'll definitely use them again, thank you.
Chris even woke up at 4:40 to walk myself and Ingrid to the shuttle service. He waited with us until the shuttle arrived. This was really going beyond the call of duty.
Very neat and workers were very helpful.
It was nice and clean. However, some of the light fittings did not have bulbs, in the sleep area and the bathroom. On Saturday morning I did not have warm water to shower, in fact, there was no water coming out of the warm water tap. The breakfast was okay, but a bit oily. In general, however, okay.
The room was not entirely ready when we arrived. We really had a problem with guests making a noise. The staff were very friendly and breakfast was wonderful. Facilities very neat and clean. Thank you for letting us leave our car at your guesthouse when we went on our boat trip. Really appreciated!
Everything was perfect except the other guests that were very noisy early in the morning and very late at night and their comments when we greeted them. If Chris can make another rule for noise, specifically because we were there to relax away from home, things would improve. We came all the way from Johannesburg and just because of those guests we felt we are not welcome there at all.
Thank you to all staff for making us feel welcome.
It was nice to stay at Sommersby B&B. I will book it next time when I go to Durban.
Away from the noise in town.
Staff very professional, helpful at all times and available.
I found the B&B ideal for my needs as a single traveller on business. The staff were friendly and the B&B clean.
Very central. Clean and neat.
Parking space is insufficient. Too little parking for number of rooms. Had to move the vehicle around 2 times in the middle of the night so other guests could get out. Staff are unfriendly and surly. Staff member who prepares breakfast was sick and coughing, so we only had breakfast 1 out of 5 mornings. Bedding and towels are old and shabby.
There was no explanation about how the morning breakfast sessions worked, and what was available. There was no kettle or small fridge in the unit. The bathroom mirror had to be removed to be used in another room for my wife's purposes - hair dryer. These are very basic things that one would expect as standard.
Everything is a walking distance, the mall and restaurants. To drive to the beach side is a 10 min drive. The only inconvenience was the fact that on our arrival there was no water until late the next day and load shedding started from 4 am until 10 am. Other than that everything was super.
Sommersby B&B , a place I would love to stay again if I visit Durban again. Amazing house, beautiful surroundings, pleasant people around. I love the place.
We had a great time in Durban and we will definitely come back next year and book at Sommersby. The location is excellent and the people are all very nice and you feel at home there.
The staff were polite and friendly, but couldn't really help us with places to eat or routes to places we wanted to go. The reception staff did not expect us, so the owner had to be contacted first. The bedside light did not work. The mattress in room 2 is done!
Neat place and the people were very friendly.
They can work on their breakfast menu. The same breakfast every day and my poor wife who did not eat pork products but had a hard time.
The advertisement on the internet does not give the real idea. I would prefer tea and coffee to be in the rooms, and not so far away.
The rooms and breakfast were not as we expected from the photos.
The bed-linen was old and dirty. Service was terrible. Is it a three star? If so, the Tourism Grading Council needs to reconsider the accreditation.
A lovely B&B.
Great home away from home atmosphere, with friendly staff and a safe, clean venue. I jogged to the beach from there almost every day. With a shopping centre just across the road, you have everything you need within reach. Just around the corner from Florida Road there is a range of eating places to cater for every taste. Try it!
We had an awesome time and will go back any time we are in Durban.
Rooms were neat and clean. Breakfast was delicious. Thanks to Chris and his team for making us feel at home. We would love to stay there again when we are in Durban.
Very well received. Area very beautiful, peaceful and quiet. Friendly staff and a nice breakfast.
We enjoyed the freedom and access of the venue. It was convenient as we could walk to the shopping centre. We were disturbed by the fact that on the day of our departure the hot water ran out, however, this may have been caused by a large family using hot water too liberally, who had arrived on our day of departure.
We have enjoyed our stay at Sommersby B&B, but we did not like the fact that breakfast finishes early at 09:00. The parking is also a problem when there is more guests. Other guests parked in the drive way, because of the limited space. I am unsure if it is always like that or it is only during December month. Lovely stay otherwise.
The B&B is located in a very practical location, within walking distance of the shopping center and restaurants. The only complaint: the TV gave problems.
Chris made us feel home, really assisted us where possible. Thanks.
The owner went out of his way to meet our needs.
Chris and his staff were great - helpful and friendly. We received a nice, clean room and a good breakfast!
On our arrival the staff was very friendly such a warm welcome we got. The room was very very clean one of my top highlights about my stay. Breakfast finishes too early though, as we missed it twice. The B&B had a very "old school" feel to it. The location is almost perfect as it's safe, quiet and next to a shopping centre. I wish we could have stayed longer. I'm "mos deff" coming back if there is space. What can I say, we loved our stay.

Parking is a bit limited and tight to get in and out.

Quiet and clean! Safe and relaxed!
Small, basic, sufficient.
In room 4 the aircon was not working and they limit your breakfast. For example: I don't understand why they should give a person 2 slices of bread with 1 sausage. The fruit was not enough to cater to all the guests. I won't mind coming back again as long as you can improve on the few things that I've mentioned.
It took care of our basic needs. The rooms were relatively clean. Although, the plumbing was noisy and the room smelled badly of smoke. We never spotted the host. They could do with a coffee, tea and water station.
This is the best place to stay in Durban. The owner and staff were great. We really enjoyed our stay.
Everything is perfect and will recommend to my friends to book when they visit Durban. Next time will take my family there.
Our experience was great. The place is secured and the breakfast was yummy. Thank you to the staff and owner for the hospitality.
A beautiful room, and a very friendly and comfy place :-)

I had a good stay, but must point out two areas of improvements: Breakfast: the juice was watered down far too much. The Room: I was in the front room but could not open the curtains as I would then have no privacy, so recommend that they put a net curtain or blind up, for privacy.
Finding an open kitchen is a great plus when traveling with a sports group. Being within walking distance of the supermarket and stadiums was super. Staff friendly and Chris was a great help with documents!

It was a very peaceful area, and accommodation is well located to reach both the town and the beach. All in all it was an awesome stay, we really enjoyed ourselves.
I had a good time with my daughter, and found it wonderful to leave the everyday stress behind.
So much potential to be a 4 or 5 star. A firmer hand on the cleaners would help. Regardless of that, thank you for a relaxing stay Chris!
