    "BeMyGuest is one of the best places I have stayed with my family. The rooms are well equipped and very clean. It is very child friendly and the kids had a blast.

  • "TRAUMATIZED"

    14 October 2015

    "<span style="line-height: 16.9px; font-size: 13px; color: #333333; background-color: #fefef0;">The stay was good until Saturday night when two nasty and traumatic incidents occured. Saturday night after attending a function we arrived past twelve at the guest house just to find out that my parking allocated to me was occupied by someone else. I tried to make contact with the guesthouse but to no avail. We went to sleep but I was very worried about my vehicle being parked outside the yard. Round about 02h05 am we experienced an attempted break-in. When I opened the curtain infront of the door I saw a guy with a yellow rake right infront of me. Luckily for me and my lady friend, he ran away. Still TRAUMATIZED!</span><div><span style="line-height: 16.9px; font-size: 13px; color: #333333; background-color: #fefef0;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.9px; font-size: 13px; color: #333333; background-color: #fefef0;"><strong>Establishments response:</strong></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.9px; font-size: 13px; color: #333333; background-color: #fefef0;"><strong><br /></strong></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 13px; color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 16.9px; background-color: #fefef0;">Dear</span><span style="line-height: 16.9px;">Hester,</span></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.9px; font-size: 13px; color: #333333; background-color: #fefef0;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 16.9px; font-size: 13px; color: #333333; background-color: #fefef0;"><div>It is with the deepest regret that we receive your feedback. Please check our previous reviews and you will know that we strive to do our best for each and every guest.</div><div>We have exactly the number of parking spaces equal to the number of rooms, and 4 more space at our private entrance, therefore a parking space must have been available to park your vehicle off-street. We also live on the premises and we have a bell at the diningroom door, to reach us, if we unfortunately do not answer a call at 01h00 in the morning. If we recall the incident correctly, the hostess on duty, responded to your call immediately, once you called our land-line number and parked your vehicle personally, off-street, for you.</div><div><br /></div><div>Our guesthouse is situated in a quiet suburb, but we live in a crime-ridden South Africa and Upington is unfortunately not a quiet little town any more and guesthouses are targeted. The security of our guests and their vehicles are of utmost importance to us. For that reason we have a 8 feet high wall, surrounding our premises, with palisade gates locked either with a padlock or remote control and a security company monitering our premises. The incident was isolated and out of our control. We now also installed cameras and motion sensors on the premises, for added security. We are also handling the situation in connection with sergant Block and Colonel Raaff, from the local SAPD, who is doing a wonderful job to prevent any similar insidents.</div><div><br /></div><div>Our sincere apology for your trauma, but as you know, this is happening throughout South Africa and we as citizens can only do so much to secure our ourselves. We are truly doing our best to keep our guests as safe as possible.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kind regards</div><div>Isabel BeMyGuest</div></span></div>"

    "We have stayed two times this week (week 40-2015) in BeMyGuest.<div>Excellent place to stay in a very quit part of Upington, about 1 km from the Mall.</div><div>Rooms are nice with all facilities, included good working internet connection.</div><div>Secure parking place for the car.</div><div>Breakfast is not included in the price, but for an aditional R60 pp. you can get a great meal in the morning.</div><div>We loved to stay at this breakfast and when we have to stay overnight in Upington once more, we will get there again.</div><div>Bert and Maria</div>"

    29 June 2015

    "I arrived very tired and the owner went out of her way to make my stay comfortable. While I was at dinner she put my bedside light on, left a chocolate on my pillow and turned the electric blanket on. Melted my heart!"

  • "Excellent Guest House"

    25 May 2015

    "<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;"><span style="font-family: calibri;">Outstanding Accommodation and Service. We stayed two nightsand enjoyed every minute of our stay. Isabels is a very special and idealguesthouse owner because we were treated like Royalty from the start to the daywe left. You feel like family by the time you leave, the staff is alwaysfriendly and eager to assist with requests. Lientjie was an absolute STAR whenwe arrived and assisted with the parking of the 4x4 trailer. They accommodatedand made special arrangements to have power supply on the trailer during ourstay. The breakfast we enjoyed every morning was of a high quality and ablessing. We really recommend that this should always be the place to stay whenyou visit Upington. </span></p>"

  • "Just right for an overnight stop"

    07 May 2015

    "The hospitality, bedding and bathroom were excellent. Just right for an overnight stop. Pity there was no breakfast on the Sunday."

  • "Great place to stay"

    16 March 2015

    "I stayed at BeMyGuest for 3 nights over two visits in December 2015 with my wife. We had a very lovely time. Isabel was very welcoming and made us feel at home. She gave us some really good tips for places to see and things to do in Upington. She was very polite and helpful and made our stay really enjoyable, though we were around for such a short time. I totally recommend it and would definitely stay there again!<br />"

  • "Great location, nice room and friendly host"

    14 March 2015

    "<span style="line-height: 19px; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; color: #4a4a4a;">I booked this place based on reviews of the property and also the good comments about the owner of the property. As it turned out we too needed some extra help while in Upington and Isabel, the owner was very helpful in providing important information about doctors in the area.</span><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; color: #4a4a4a;">We were warmly welcomed and nice cool tropical juice was brought to our room upon arrival. The router to have better access to internet was brought to our room when we asked about using internet.</span><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; color: #4a4a4a;">A very nice room with a mini kitchen (sink, microwave, refrigerator and some utensils) and a nice bathroom. The bed was very comfortable. The decor was very nice with all kinds of little touches to make your stay more pleasant. Very clean room.</span><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; color: #4a4a4a;">One of the most helpful hosts we encountered during our month trip in South Africa. I also appreciated the fact that our emails were answered very quickly.</span><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; color: #4a4a4a;">The location is very close to a very modern shopping center. Very reasonably priced. I liked having the option of paying extra for breakfast or not having the breakfast if you don't need it.</span><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; color: #4a4a4a;">The four rooms were occupied during our stay and there was bit of noise from the room next door in the evening, but this was not really a problem after 10 pm. Smoking is allowed in the private outdoor patios that each room has so if your neighbor smokes and you are outside you may notice this. Did not smell anything inside the rooms so this was a relatively minor issue for us.</span><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><br style="color: #4a4a4a; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; line-height: 19px;" /><span style="line-height: 19px; font-family: arial, tahoma, 'bitstream vera sans', sans-serif; color: #4a4a4a;">Very happy with the quality of this accommodation and will return if we come back to Upington.</span>"
