"Great stay, with a beautiful view. Erik has been a great host and catered to all our needs. Would not easily recommend a place, but Gannabos was just great on all aspects!"
"The rustic but luxurious hotel was amazing with nicely-sized room & bath. The patio was large & quiet. Common areas were spacious & food was excellent. The only complaint was the shower which was a continuous dribble of water rather than a stream."
"Very friendly staff and the guys have put a lot of thought into many little areas which make you come away feeling that this is a great place to stay. Very remote with stables and cattle pens, really nice."
"Great stop over place to stay. Juris was very helpful and gave great recommendations for places to eat.
If we weren’t in a hurry we would have stayed another night.
Will definitely stay again"
"I was pleasantly surprised during our last visit to the Hotel. We used it as a halfway stop on the way back from Kimberly. The front-of-house was very friendly, good vibe in the restaurant/pub and the food was very good. One does have to realise it is a "vintage" hotel and if you would be so inclined, one could find fault everywhere. But I will definitely return again. The bedding was excellent and the bed massive! Overall it is clean, comfortable and friendly and that was good enough for me on...
"THIS WHOLE THING IS A SCAM!!
The new owner of that establishment knew nothing of my booking and I had to find and pay for a night at another establishment which fortunately could accommodate me.
The money I paid you did not go to the new owner, but instead they suspect it went to the woman that was running the place before it was sold 4 YEARS AGO!!!! "
