45 guests' feedbackWas a great place, just struggled with hot water, and very little water.
Very uncomfortable. No water to drink available.
Was not too happy with my stay, they were friendly, but the next morning, I had a high amount of bed bug bites.
We had a broken bed that missed a leg and the mattress was in terrible condition. Stains on extra blanket. Guests who arrived before midnight kept us awake and were so loud until the morning at 06;00! You could hear every word and music! We didn't sleep.
No. The bedding was dirty, smelled like dust and definitely had bugs. The bathroom stank from the drain's smell.
I think attention will have to be paid to the following: Water pressure, there is only a thin stream of water from the taps which makes it quite frustrating to shower or take a bath. The geyser will have to be set so that there is hot water available, the water gets hot. I would recommend installing air conditioning in the room with a pre-paid meter so that guests have the option of using air conditioning at extra cost. It was very hot and the fan only makes a small difference to getting a good night's rest. The mattresses on the beds are yellowed and very uncomfortable. However, the service is very good, upon our arrival the boiler was not working, but a plan was quickly made to rectify the problem. The place has a lot of potential, but it will need some attention.
We waited for about 20 minutes outside, ringing the bell at the gate and calling the number displayed outside, but no one responded. We honked and shouted, and as a result, we were late for the event we were attending. The place was not clean, and the person who eventually assisted us was not very friendly.
No hot water. Lighting is very poor. Room is dirty.
Will definitely visit for more days.
No hot water as the geyser is set to only come on very late the afternoon. After a long day of travel you want to shower. Here you have no hot water until about 7 at night. Hardly any lights so dark in the room. It is impossible to read at night.
However, TV in our room did not work.
Shower door was almost impossible to open without breaking something. Pool was murky and not inviting.
Was received very kindly. Breakfast was served to me on the lawn. Had a great meal and was rested for the long road ahead.
Lovely garden and nice surroundings.
See stars.
The staff can do more with guests, breakfast and dinner are not asked if customers want, hostess was not even 5 min with us, it's like she was in a hurry. The bed was not very comfortable.
The guesthouse is right next to a sports bar, the music was blaring until the early morning hours. Other guests that came home shortly after the music subsided, immediately moved to the pool, continued to drink, laugh loudly and chat and litter by the pool. We didn't get to sleep all night. Furthermore, one of our room's air conditioning units was out of order, when I reported it, the owner informed me that they did not advertise air-conditioning, I must mention that I then went back to the site and saw the air-conditioning mentioned. The power supply is completely unacceptable, you can switch on only one electrical appliance at a time, otherwise everything shuts off. I will never book there again.
Garden is beautiful and well maintained, but in terms of actual accommodation, very disappointing. Table lamps (3x) none worked. Then move furniture away to check if it's plugged in/switched on. Could see then that the place had not been properly cleaned in a very long time. The place was dirty! Dust was thick behind furniture and under the bed. Lights then came on when we complained. Apparently problem with wall plugs. Lighting is inadequate. The open-plan bathroom and toilet did not appeal to us. The toilet seat was also broken (seat and ring). The manager/owner and friends sat and socialized noisily until about 2am. Down the street, the thud-thud of music was heard in a bar (realize guesthouse management probably has no control over this). The whole experience was creepy. Couldn't wait to get out of there. Present management also made no effort to contact us the next morning to find out if there were any problems during our stay. Very unpleasant experience.
We arrived early and the young man at reception was kind enough to check us in at 12:45, which was before check-in time. The one room's air conditioning did not work. When I reported it, the owner told me they don't advertise air conditioning, but it does say so on the website. The guest house is directly next to a sports bar. There was loud music Friday and Saturday night until the early hours of the morning. Saturday morning at 05:05 we were woken up by a group of 4 guests who were in one room next to us. They swam, jumped in and talked loudly to each other. On Sunday morning we were once again awoken shortly after 5:00 by loud music from an unknown place. The guest house is located next to the main road on the way to Mafikeng and the heavy vehicles pass by non-stop. Across the national road there is a railway track where trains run regularly. Definitely not recommended if you need your rest to undertake a long journey between SA and Botswana. The staff there are very friendly and helpful. The building is a bit old and dilapidated, many fixtures in the bathroom fall off when you touch them. The electrical supply was also not up to standard, because if only the fridge is on and you also switch on the boiler, the boiler's switch kicks off.
The rooms are nice and big and well equipped. The garden and pool are beautiful and very peaceful. My husband and I really enjoyed it there and would stay there again if we could.
I will book with Villa Finesse again anytime if I come to Swartruggens area. It is located close to the town and on the main route to Zeerust. I can't say anything about the food because we left early the next day and didn't make use of it, but I believe that it is also of excellent quality. The service on arrival was friendly and warm. Thanks for the night's rest.
See stars.
Enjoyable place to stay and sleep over.
See star rating.
We really enjoyed the stay and the service was excellent, felt very much at home. All point that could receive attention is to replace air conditioning with larger more efficient models. Our room's didn't work well. Other than that, no problems.
Very comfortable and a relaxed atmosphere.
Very friendly service, very neat and clean!
I was not happy with the fact that I requested self catering accomodation and only to find out its not. There was no kitchen and our food went off because we had nowhere to put it. They did not try hard enough to assist us with the food and as a result we threw away our food. I feel that we were misled into thinking we could cater ourselves
Jenny is incredibly friendly and helpful.
Had a great time at Villa Finesse. Will definitely visit again!
See the stars below.
We slept very well. The room is tidy and we were able to drive early the next day without waiting for anyone.
Nice peaceful stay. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality and tranquility of the guest house. The beautiful garden was a bonus. It was the ideal stop for us between our home in the Free State and Sun City, where we went to see Skouspel. We would recommend it anytime.
Good value for money, friendly helpful service & a beautiful guesthouse.
We liked being left alone. After paying, we could come and go as we pleased. We enjoyed the beautiful garden and peaceful room atmosphere. Earlier in the afternoon there was noise from the 'neighbours' but by dusk the noise was over and we made a fire in front of our room door which opens onto the garden. We appreciated the privacy.
The place is in a convenient location, quiet and lovely. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to visit swartruggens and surrounding places. Most attractive places are nearby and you would save a lot by staying and villa finesse. thank you for keeping us safe and accommodating us.
I even enjoyed the bath with the sort of chair, since I usually use a shower.
Hardly any customer interaction, but its a beautiful place, very homely.
I would recommend Villa Finesse as appealing to everyone. The experience there was wonderful, the service was excellent, and everything was neat. It offers a friendly environment, and my thanks to all for the great stay!!!
Not very difficult to find, not much interaction with the staff there, but it is a very great experience with a relaxed atmosphere. Thanks!
I enjoyed the "homely" atmosphere of Villa Finesse. It's lovely and in a quaint location, perfect for getting away from the city life, and enjoying a small town atmosphere. I must also add that Jenny is a very good hostess, and the place is immaculate and has stunning décor.
What a fantastic establishment to stay it, very comfortable and clean. It was every thing i expected and more. A little far from Sun City - the drive back was hectic. Thanks for the hospitality.
