Great stay

Our stay was great, service was excellent, bed was really comfortable.

The aircon is slightly broken and the bathroom is very dated. The jet bath is semi functional.

All in all a great experience.

Great stay when traveling with pets

I have stayed at Rusplek before. It is really great if you have pets traveling with you. The reception is friendly and the breakfast served was of a high standard.
I found the grounds not as neat and tidy as before, and the soap and shampoo provided were very skimpy.

We were offered a very sedluded and beautiful self help facility with its own attractive garden and a lockable gate for that matter. What more could we have asked for. We enjoyed the comfort and privacy of it all.

Hot, tired and unfriendly welcome

The reception staff were not so friendly to begin with. When we arrived at the room, there was no toilet paper. This is not acceptable if your guests traveled a long distance. After requesting toilet paper we were told that, \"she\" will bring it when \"she\" comes. The courtyard in front of the room was only cleaned after we arrived, while we were in the room. We had to go back to reception to find out about the wi-fi, only then we received a username and password with a complementary 1 gigabite date usage.

Leaky ceilings and bad coffee

Very friendly and helpful reception staff but the group of houses sit behind high walls and fences so one feels a bit isolated from the area? The main complaint was waking up with the gurgling of a leaky ceiling (from the bath above) Into the breakfast area whilst having your (rather stingy) single cup of plastic coffee?

'Bathroom'

The booking confirmation stated a Private bathroom with a jetted bathtub. The actual 'bathroom' was a tiny passage-like space across the bedroom, so privacy was compromised. It has only a shower and almost no movement space! I feel this is unacceptable, especially since an expectation was created. Nothing of this 'change' was mentioned upon arrival.

Dealing with Expedia was not satisfactory. Their website does not cater for all available booking options and they added items to the booking that were not booked eg. dinner

Comfortable and easy overnight stay.

We stayed over at Rusplek on our way to Cape Town. We arrived very late and the guesthouse staff were very friendly and accommodating to make our stay as seamless as possible. The facilities provided us with everything we needed to have a good night's rest to tackle the road the next morning.
Thank you very much!

OK - I guess you get what you pay for

The room was ok, the bed was comfortable but the place is extremely noisy. The Bethlehem room is at the top of the stairs from Reception, and you can hear every noise in the house. If you want some good quality sleep, then this is not the place for you. Otherwise, it was clean, and the garden is well kept.

Seeking Comfort and reliability.

I was assigned an outside room with twin single beds but went to request a different one, which was granted. This was satisfactory to me as it was a big family room. There were two disappointments in there, viz, the bathroom is situated across the hallway, so you have to carry an extra key moving in and out. Secondly, there is no microwave oven nor sink, meaning the outside bathroom is your refuge.

The breakfast was scrumptuous and liked very much.

Good But Needs Improvement

It was wonderful, the room was exactly what I wanted. The neighbourhood was serene and perfect for a weekend getaway. But there was a power cut for about an hour and no one bothered asking us how we are or explaining the power outage situation. There is clearly no generator and that's not good for any establishment. And the water was cold in the morning, it appears that the other guests had used up all the water, yet we all paid.

Nice place but i got a bad treatment

The place is good and nice,but i was accomodated to the outside rooms which are not at the main premises of the lodge.
The room was not pleasing and the security door was broken,no water in the fridge and the single beds we were offered were outdated and surely i did not sleep comfortably on the bed....the name of the room where we were accomodated is called JERUSALEM.

Absolut kein Stern.

Schmuddeliges Zimmer, eng, keine Möglichkeit, gut abzuschließen. Das Bad absolut schmuddelig, schimmlige Fugen, fehlende Fliesen, schmutzige Toilette. Wir haben trotzdem übernachtet, aus lauter Müdigkeit, haben aber auf statt in den Betten geschlafen. Am nächsten Morgen: nichts wie weg!
