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.

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! ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas 4 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Nicholas ### 8/10 Good #### Ulrich, Feuerthalen 5 Feb 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Zur Weiterempfehlung Aufmerksamkeit der Beherberger, guter Service, sehr freundlich! ##### Ulrich ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 19 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Tranquil and relaxed the kind of place where you immediately feel relaxed and at home. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nikki, London 7 Jan 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A must stay Wow a very long road trip from Cape Town to Johannesburg and this was one of the only places available within our budget! I can say is one of the best guests houses ever, 5\* service, 5\* breakfast and the town is beautiful too. Couldn't have asked for more. This is a defiant must!!! ##### Nikki ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 28 Dec 2015 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness Kind staff. Mold on ceiling above bed. Unpleasant smell in room. Hair on the floor in bathroom upon check-in. ##### Verified traveller ### 8/10 Good #### Chris, GB 30 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### A very comfortable 2 day stay Yamkela is a very nice place, very clean and organised. We paid a little more and were given room number 9 upstairs. Even though it meant lugging our suitcases up a spiral staircase (no offer of help), it was worth it. The room was very nice. The layout of the bedrooms is a little odd and means that a lot of other people walk past your door to get to their room. In room 9 we had only one couple walking past us, if you are near the car park, it's more like ten. Plus, the downstairs rooms are darker and the rooms that are incorporated in the main house have cars parked in front of them as well. We didn't use the pool, it looked more like a pond, it was so small. The garden was very well kept. Breakfast was an excellent affair. The position of Yamkela is also very good with several restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely use it again but ask to be upstairs. ##### Chris ### 8/10 Good #### Jean-Louis, Pau 22 Nov 2015 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Très bon séjour, hotel à recommander.
