Coomunication problems

It was a frustrating experience with our booking at the guesthouse through Hotels.com. We made a non-refundable reservation for the wrong date and realized it immediately after completing the booking. We contacted the guesthouse to request a change to the correct date, but unfortunately, the owner indicated that he was unable to accommodate us. However, after reaching out to Hotels.com, they worked with the owner to arrange a refund, and we successfully made a new booking for the correct date. After we received acknowledgement of a refund, we made another booking and contacted the guesthouse about our new reservation. Although the owner acknowledged the booking, he expressed his reluctance to accept reservations made through booking sites due to ongoing communication issues with them. Upon arrival, the staff at the guesthouse were unaware of our booking, which created confusion, especially since we had previously communicated our situation with them over the phone. Thankfully, they accepted us for the night but required proof of payment beyond the booking confirmation. While the accommodation itself was satisfactory and the staff were friendly, the communication between Hotels.com and the guesthouse was lacking. According to the owner, there seem to be unresolved issues with Hotels.com regarding their communication, which added to the confusion. I recommend not booking through a booking site as double-checking with the guesthouse prior to arrival did not even ensure a smooth

Trato familiar

El hotel se encuentra cercano a la carretera en una urbanización donde hay otros hoteles. Se encuentra lo suficentemente alejado para no escuchar ruidos. Son habitaciones al estilo motel americano muy confortables. El trato en el hotel fue espectacular . El propietario es un radio aficionado, antiguo piloto de aviones, muy atento al cual se le puede preguntar sobre sitios a visitar. La propietaria posee una tortugas que visitan el jardín cuando sale sol. La piscina se encuentra un poco alejada pero es comoda para la gente que hay. El desayuno se sirve en el edificio principal y es completo, con yogurt, cereales, salchichas,...

Gemütlich

Wir waren auf der Durchreise zur Gardenroute. Der Besitzer Wessie war sehr freundlich und hat uns viele wertvolle Tipps gegeben. Die Property ist sehr schön und gemütlich eingerichtet. Es ist etwas ausserhalb und sehr ruhig gelegen. Und es gibt PP direkt vor dem Zimmer. Auch im Allgemeinen sehr freundliches Personal.

Horrible treatment

It was horrible, when we got there we were told that we had no booking, while proved to them that we were booked with them and the booking was confirmed by Hotels.com. The owner told us that they do not work with Hotels.com. We were then referred to another guest house which we didn't take.
