B My Guest

We booked the 4 to 5 sleeper. The little Reception office was the 1st sign of things to come. Small and untidy. The stoep of our unit was dark and dreary with a massive "inverter" set up in a cage in one corner. Nothing happy or summer-like there. When I initially called I asked if the unit would accommodate my mother who walks with a crutch. I was told it wouldn't be a problem. The unit's shower is inside the bath and apparently, we just missed the unit that had the separate shower because someone else booked in before us. I then asked where can I go buy a plastic bucket for my mom to 'rinse' in. I was then given a small plastic basin to use. The entire unit felt dark and old. The pictures on the wall were older than my 40-something years and the brown carpets and furniture added to the dark and musty vibe that they had going. I went to Reception to complain and the lady who assisted us called the managing agent. He was not impressed with me at all and was very short with me. I told him it felt like a grandma's cottage that hadn't seen anything bright and light in years. I then asked for a refund. He agreed to refund me one of the 3 nights. He said that the pictures showed the rooms on the website so how can I say everything is old? I went to check on the website and didnt see any picture of our unit. The kettle was rusted inside and had rusted water inside. The one kitchen counter felt like someone rubbed some jam over it. The stove was dirty. One plate didnt work. The bathroom was old and the rust and peeling paint added to the terribleness of it all. I was told this was the only unit that they didn't have time to "redo". So why then make it available for holidaymakers? Our 3 days in Knysna were great but we didn't want to go back to our accommodation in the afternoons/evenings. We avoided it and went back as late as possible at night. We never braai-ed, we never sat outside to enjoy breakfast on the stoep etc etc.

The host Apple was the kindest person I met on my holiday. We enjoyed our stay in B my Guest. The place was always clean. Apple even came and give us places to go see on our own and I really appreciate it. The swimming pool was lovely, and the cottage was also very nice. Thank you for your friendly clean accommodation.

Great stay and John a good host! He was responsive and helpful. Comfortable, clean and welcoming. We would happily recommend it to other guests and would return. Good value for money too. And central to all amenities in Knysna.

Excellent service! We booked in earlier and they accommodated us with a friendly welcome and everything was already ready. I forgot my tpiletries bag and it was posted back to me the same day. They have clean and neat accommodation. It is very comfortable and wished we could stay longer. Thank you for your excellent service.

This was a wonderful holiday enabled by our host Apple. The host made sure that our rooms were clean at all times, efficiently and fast attended to our requests and even arranged for wood in our room without us even having to ask

We had a wonderful stay at B My Guest at Knysna. The cleanliness and friendly staff went a long way towards making the stay enjoyable. We were delighted with the swimming pool in the communal area and definitely made proper use of it! We will recommend B My Guest to our friends and family and will definitely stay there again when in the Knysna area.

1. There is a big problem with ants (they somehow got into our bread) 2. Some holes in the bedding material possibly cigarette burns from previous users 3. We struggle getting the 2plate gas stove to work 4. A standard plug in kettle that switches off automatically is more preferred 5. The pool was a huge plus though
