Charged twice
The gentleman told me I had not paid at the end our stay although I paid online. He said it had not gone through when I booked on Hotels.com. He said before I left I needed to pay for the room. He showed me that my credit card info was wrong and the a Hotels.com had not collected on my account. I then paid R900 with him on my credit card. The next day I see that the payment had already been paid already on my credit card for R800. Now I need to go and figure out how to get my money back. It is a pain. I am a hold member and have never had this happen when I pay online. This not a nice experience.

Underbart bed and breakfast
Underbara värdar och en härlig frukost. 😀 År på närliggande resturang Black Swan. Var inget vidare service sådär svag dukning. Fick inte det dom beställdes men kom ändå på notan.

Bra och trevligt B&B Oudsthoorn SA.
Trevligt ställe med bra mottagande av ägaren. Fick bra information och kartor. Rummen trevlig och rena, varm och kall frukost som gjordes på beställning. Bra resturang precis bredvid. Black Swan, värt ett besök. Lite svajigt Wi-fi.

Hôtel bien placé et propre
Nous ne sommes restés qu'une nuit mais l'établissement est très bien situé dans Oudtshoorn pour la restauration le soir. Notre hôte nous a très bien conseillé dès notre arrivée. La chambre était un peu petite pour 2 adultes et 2 enfants mais très agréable et propre, donnant directement sur le jardin et la piscine

Lovely and homely place to stay in Oudtshoorn
The room was nice and comfortable and the location is convenient. We were only there for 1 night but we were made to feel welcome. There is no wifi in the rooms which you would expect nowadays and the bathroom was a big dark (only one spotlight) but otherwise I can't fault the place. Great breakfast too!

Good spot to stay for local sites
Had a short stay in Oudtshoorn and the Yamkela guesthouse was a great choice. The owners are very nice and offer a great range of options for breakfast (ostrich sausage!). The room was very large with a balcony and a set of table and chairs for each guest (it appeared every room has balcony access).
The only reason I didn't give 5 stars on room comfort was that the room I was in had a slanted roof in the bathroom and no windows (although it did have solid blinds over the door, which provided air and light). And I gave 4 stars on neighborhood because there really isn't much around but I think that is more a product of the town than it is the hotel.
