153 guests' feedbackThe guesthouse was fantastic. If we asked anything, they helped immediately. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Very peaceful atmosphere. They made us feel so at ease. I would definitely recommend them. We had a nice rest and barbecue.
The place was calm and peaceful for my spouse and me. We were able to relax and enjoyed our stay.
We enjoyed our stay with a clean pool.
It was very nice and peaceful.
Friendly, good, neat place. Will use the services again.
We had a nice stay. They can only improve breakfast. Butter was frozen.
The place was peaceful, closer to everything, great location, and very safe.
Our stay was good, the pool area was very nice to chill.
Our stay was not good at all. We even had to leave earlier than expected. The place was dirty; it really felt like one was staying in the landlord’s backroom. I would like to believe that it was taken over by new owners who are still learning about hospitality. There's a lady there who is not friendly at all, a caretaker of some sort, and that place is not for her. On the other hand, Louis was very helpful and friendly. The WiFi could not reach our room, and the electricity kept tripping. Yeah, it was a bad experience.
False advertising. Our room was dirty and had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. It was also very stuffy. The beds were uncomfortable; they need to be replaced. We couldn't shower in the evening because there was no water. We experienced the same problem again in the morning; there was no water. The manager also refused to make our breakfast, which we paid for. We did not get value for our money. Poor service. Our stay at Geelhout was bad. I will never recommend it to anyone.
Great place to visit.
No further comment.
The kids were happy with the service, including the swimming pool.
Other than that the place is clean and has friendly staff.
The stay was nice. With loadshedding, we packed up our fridge. They moved our stuff to their fridge, and replaced the fridge the same day. I would just suggest replacing the toilet seat with something more sturdy than that flimsy plastic stuff.
I had a problem with the room. There were no windows and it got very stuffy. The shower head is terrible. The room we stayed in is right at the front of the property, which was not private at all. I will commend the staff though. They were very helpful and friendly. The gentleman at reception was wonderful and patient. The ladies who made us breakfast were just amazing and went the extra mile.
Stay was good but the property is very dirty. There are no good or beautiful areas to take pictures. Our room was not in the right area as we were women. We had to open the door while we were undressing or dressing because of the heat and load shedding. Everybody was passing by and looking at us. Gates are not locked during the night and we are in front of a gate that makes us feel unsafe. To tell you the truth, nothing is amazing at Geelhout Guesthouse. All areas are dirty.
Did not enjoy our stay , our room was not up to par ,fridge very dirty, kitchen area not looking good,no aircon, bunk bed very rocky just risky for kids to sleep on, breakfast not that bad but surely you can do better.
Water in bathroom was a problem. There is a fridge in the room, but nothing inside the fridge. I don't mind paying extra for a cold bottle of water or soft drink. Pictures show 2 single beds and advertised as such, but in reality it was a king size bed.
Very uncomfortable to sleep well knowing that your car is completely exposed to theft.
The mirror in room 2 was not clean and there was no shower gel. We only got access to WiFi around 6pm as we were not informed about how the letters should be until we enquired for the second time. We waited for breakfast for a long time. In room 1, there was a spider web just as you enter the room.
It is not a three star, especially the rooms, the breakfast was very nice.
Sent email to Edwardo.
It was convenient for me since it was not far from where I came.
Friendly reception, room and bathroom are neat and clean.
Trip was a short one night break from the hustle of the city. Neat and comfortable and easy to locate.
The staff in general is so friendly and love their guests.
Just some small but very insignificant items: no teaspoons and the WiFi didn't work, would have been nice to know that breakfast was extra, but would definitely let friends know about the place.
I only slept over one night and it was ok.
It's a nice place, breakfast was stunning, but if they can, change the menu on the second day.
Air conditioning in my room was not working, so we were very cold.
It's a nice place to be with family.
Staff friendly and premises have easy parking!
Me and my family we really had fun. The place is nice and quite. I will really go back there for some nice and quite place. All staff were really nice and thanks to KB who made sure we had everything that we need.
Very lovely accommodation, my kids loved it.
The place is very nice but the place gave us cremora coffee where I drink black. and toilet did not have toilet paper, but otherwise it was very nice to visit there.
Crew had a great stay.
Well accommodated with very friendly staff.
I just think there should be enough soap, shampoos, towels and body lotion in the bathroom. Although loadshedding is a national crisis, I think the guesthouse can consider having a back-up in a form of a generator.
Although there is no choice, the breakfast is very tasty and well prepared. The staff is friendly. Unfortunately, the website's description did not indicate that the economy or pocket pass unit does not have an en-suite bathroom in it, but in the hallway. Bedding needs attention, it's clean, but could probably be replaced due to age. Bela Bela's roads are very bad. I will not go there again.
Few things that I think made my stay uncomfortable: 1. TV remove not working. 2. Aircon making noise throughout the night. 3. Bathroom separate from my room, had to make small trips out of the comfort of my room during the night if I needed to use the shared bathroom. 4. We had no contact person to speak to if one needs help during the night. The remote that was not working and the noisy aircon could only be remoted in the morning. 5. No security wall, my car was exposed to the street passersby, security concern.
Horrible breakfast. Owner not friendly. Pool not prepared. Friendly staff. My friends showed interest but I’m not sure.
Dis net okay. Waarde vir geld.
Room very suitable for family, double bed very uncomfortable, outside lights shine all night in room, toilet seat cover broken and gone. Breakfast can be left out because it really wasn't pleasant at all.
Guests not allowed to choose menu for the day please follow your menu.
It was perfect and peacefully.
Everything was fine, I did enjoy and I would like to come back again.
Accommodation is warm and quiet. The staff are friendly and professional.
It was a wonderful experience and my child felt safe and welcome.
The owner's hospitality is genuine kindness and she gave us her covered parking space without being asked!
I want to thank Elias who made sure that all our needs were taken care of and the rest of the staff. We really enjoyed ourselves.
We enjoyed everything. Thanks for that.
We only stayed the evening after a function, so didn't really have an opportunity to enjoy the facilities. Wash neat and to the side.
The caretaker was the sweetest ever. Always checking up on us and making sure we were happy.
Clean and tidy. The owner is friendly and helpful.
The air conditioning in the room was ineffective on a hot day in Bela-Bela! The roof fan's switch didn't work either, the chain to the switch was gone. The reception clerk tried to fix the air conditioning himself and also called in help from an external person, but there was no improvement. The hot water in the shower is a very weak, thin stream. The pressure at the sink and tub is fine, so it looks like a problem with the shower faucet itself. Luckily it was a very hot day so a lukewarm/cold shower was tolerable. The shower's outlet also doesn't have a grate left, just an open hole. There was a large group of people hanging out at the pool together, making it inaccessible to other guests. The impression was that some of them were day visitors for whom the reception clerk made porridge in the kitchen and hung out with them. The visiting area with swimming pool and lapa looks very nice, the reception clerk was willing to try to help and the house is generally tidy. The house is in a nice part of town. It is clear that this could potentially be a very pleasant guest house and the rate was very reasonable on the face of it. Unfortunately, however, our experience was disappointing.
Neat at first glance but not very clean. Garden is neglected.
The breakfast was terrible! It's definitely not what was on the website, it was terrible. They didn't even clean the bathroom properly, sies.
We were very disappointed. Other guests partied until the early hours of the morning and we couldn't close an eye. We tried to get hold of management but no one on premises. We were also told when we got there that there were coffee facilities. When we did want to make it, there was no milk and sugar. When we had to check out at 10:00 in the morning, there was no one on the premises either, we searched for someone. Is very unhappy.
That guest house is filled with love and very welcoming.
We had a great weekend in good hands of Geelhout family
Wonderful, clean and tidy place. Will definitely use again.
See stars.
The breakfast was delicious and filling.
Feel at home, comfortable.
See stars.
I would definitely visit again.
Geelhout workers are very friendly from reception to the cleaner. I thought the price charge was for bed and breakfast, but, no, breakfast is billed separately.
We really enjoyed their breakfast, it is delicious, and the chef was friendly and helpful.
I would recommend the place for any kind of visit, be it a business trip or an outing with friends.
Geelhout Guesthouse is a very beautiful place and we want to go there again.
Beautiful, clean, everything just 100%. Mark him as one of my big favorites.
Everything was perfect. Definitely a guest house to use for your stay.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Geelhout Guesthouse. Thanks to the ladies who do housekeeping, they were really amazing both of them. The gentleman who manages the place can do with some people/customer skills training if possible.
See stars.
See stars.
Convenient place, hospitality was wonderful and the food was great.
The best, Geelhout Guesthouse gave us the best weekend away from home, not to mention the hospitality we received, the staff were absolutely awesome and the greatest of them all Rita - she is the best, went out of her way to make us comfortable. I am surely coming back.
Adequate, quiet. Room a bit cramped, no window.
Booked for 2 persons. Son found a mattress without bedding.
The owner or employee, Rita, called me before I was ready to go check in to arrange that she gives me keys cause she had to be elsewhere. This is unprofessional.
After a long Saturday on the Elements gholf course, the guesthouse was just at the right place at the right time.
Very satisfied, would definitely recommend the guesthouse. You can book with a peaceful heart.
They need to have bathrooms in every room.
It was for the second time. I really like that place.
Very hospitable! In all our needs to be seen. Nice stay and will go back.
What a lovely getaway. Everything was clean and tidy, the pool on your front porch and the breakfasts out of a book. Our friendly hostess, Rita, made us feel very welcome. We would definitely recommend Geelhout Gastehuis to anyone who wants to escape from the hectic city.
Rita welcomed us warmly. Everything was clean and tidy.
Dit was een woord: fantasties. Definitief terug volgende jaar.
Great welcome. Hosts stay on premises, so always available for any queries or needs.
Thank your for a peaceful, clean atmosphere. Would definitely stay there again.
Pleasant place. Had no hot water in the bathroom. The available television channels are extremely limited. Breakfast was very pleasant.
The owner is very friendly and always ready to help and the lodge is so neat with fresh air.
There was no WiFi as per the add. The room has an outside bathroom which is completely inconvenient for my liking.
Enjoyed our stay at Geelhout Guesthouse. It was clean and quiet. Would definitely book there again.
The room allocated to us was very small and the bathroom was separate from the room.
We were welcomed with open arms even though we arrived late. it was a great choice
On our arrival we were welcomed cheerfully, shown our very comfortable air-conditioned family room with a bar fridge, bathroom and shower. We were very impressed with the facilities offered which included the use of a beautiful swimming pool and arrangements for breakfast the next morning. The quiet residential area in which the guesthouse is situated added to the beauty and serenity.
From arrival to departure Riana was very friendly and hospitable. The room was clean and comfortable. Thank you very much, I had a great stay!
Everything was good and I have no complaints.
It was like a home away from home. The service was excellent. The kids also enjoyed the stay. The only problem was the TV channels that were unclear.
Parking can be safer, like behind a gate.
Enjoy the stay!
We were warmly received and it met all our requirements. Very friendly. Nice atmosphere.
The room comfortable but needs attention. Headboard old and worn out. Walls and shower somewhat dirty and neglected.
Geelhout Guesthouse is so welcomin. The rooms are clean and safe. The people are welcoming. What you see is what you get. My spouse and I had a great time. Looking forward to going back there.
Thank you for the beautiful room and bathroom. The bed was so comfortable we didn't even want to go home. Delicious breakfast they gave us a choice. Friendliest poeple in Wambad for sure. See you soon!
The room has everything you need.
They should consider offering dinner.
The people there are wonderful and very helpful. the place is very clean and tidy. I would definitely stay there again.
Well kept, clean and very private, excellent for the vacation I had in mind.
We had everything we needed for a peaceful night's rest. Very neat and clean, no shortage. Breakfast, delicious. Reception was friendly, and incredibly helpful.
We were warmly received and the rooms and facilities were fantastic. Can definitely recommend for business travellers and holidaymakers.
Reception was friendly and the accommodation top notch. The garden is like an oasis, and the breakfast was very good and tasty.
Very safe, staff friendly and everything was neat and clean. Breakfast was delicious.
The guesthouse is very homely, we had enough private outdoor space which we loved. We also had the freedom to come and go anytime of the day or night. An added bonus is that it is close to the town and to the Warmbaths Forever Resort so we didn't have to drive far for anything.
Room provided all I needed for an overnight stop. The room and bathroom were spotless and was good value for money. One small negative for me was the bedside lamps which are not very good for reading purposes.
The place was very nice. It is a place to which I am planning to go back again and have myself a great time.
Nice clean room but the mattress was too soft for my liking. Lovely pool to cool down. Breakfast was tasty and adequate. Hosts were pleasant and obliging. Can't fault anything.
We were welcomed warmly. Everything was neat. A delicious breakfast was served. The TV in the lounge next to the family room was just a little disturbing.
We really and truly enjoyed our stay.
We will definitely return.
An excellent B&B which is good value for money, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful.
Had a very pleasant birthday weekend, will definitely come back, keep up the good work!
The experience was definitely worth the memories.
Clean and tidy. Will stay there again and also recommend to others.
Only complaint: the outdoor light on the porch directly next to the sliding door entrance shines throughout the night. It was bothersome.
For the same price have stayed in 3 to 4 star hotels and guesthouses. It's not value for money at all. Poor breakfast and extremely poor rooms. Only saw owner during meals. The one room's bathroom is down the hall. If you open the bathroom door, the person showering is immediately exposed to the entire hallway. Pathetic. Will never stay there again and strongly disapprove for any person wanting to stay there as a family.
LekkeSlaap booked us in here after a bad experience at another guest house. We felt so at home here, we wish we could have stayed longer! The food was delicious, the rooms comfortable and the pool was fun! We would love to visit here again.
Speed point is needed because this day more people do not carry cash with them. Friendly staff because we were late but they waited for us to get the place. Quiet area, clean and I will visit again. The place is near all attractions, food was very good.
It felt like I was staying with my friends.
We loved the place, the security, the hospitality and the surroundings, it is just a wonderful place to be at and wouldn't mind going back again.
Friendly and child friendly guesthouse. I got to watch WP lifting the curry cup, which is an amazing memory, and would definitely go back!
Super stay, enjoyed every moment! The kids loved the pool!
We enjoyed our stay at Geelhout Guesthouse, it was a very clean place which is central to everything. We would also like to go back one day as we had a good time.
The directions were unclear - add the street names in brackets.
The guest house is neat, clean, very nice linen and the breakfast was good. It was a very peaceful weekend we spent there. The home is beautiful and it was very peaceful to sit there and relax.
A big thank you to the owner of Geelhout, she wonderful to her clients and extended every kindness. Their place is so wonderful that I will tell my friends about it, especially because of their cleanliness and their breakfasts. I really could full up a page complimenting Geelhout Guesthouse.
Less than 2km to Aventura, Geelhout Guesthouse is the place to be. It's clean and safe. Will return in September.
Rita and hubby were so friendly, welcoming and warm! Our room was neat and they even included rose petals in a heart-shape :) The breakfast was so mouthwatering, was very happy here, and my partner was happy too!!
What I loved the most is hygiene, and this place is absolutely spotless! It's a quiet place with lots of privacy. Breakfast is to die for, and we really enjoyed our stay at Geelhout!
Geelhout welcoming was warm. We were happy and we've enjoyed our selves here.
Excellent and friendly service.
Needed accommodation for cycling, all expectations met! Will definitely return in future for a relaxing stay. It was awesome!
Thank you for the hospitality. We really enjoyed our stay there, the place was all we expected and even better.n We felt at home.n Kind Regards,nAlice
I liked the place, it was beautiful and felt like a home away from home. It gave me & my spouse the perfect setting and time to bond. The people at Geelhout are good and very hospitable. We had a brilliant conversation with our host, sharing a lot of life experiences - social, political as well as the future of this country. In short, we loved it.
A Home away from home - it's just brilliant!
Thank you so much for the warm welcome to your place. There was a yummy, fresh breakfast served, and the rooms were extremely neat. Your guest house felt just like a home - one that if I could, I would stay at forever! Your passion for guests, coupled with your - and your staff's - friendliness, didn't pass unnoticed.nKeep it up, I promise to come back soon.nnRegards nThemba Mkhabela
Thanks a lot to Rita and her family for their hospitality, that was the best holiday ever, the food was good and rooms were clean. We never felt like guest we were a family.
