"Quite a few things could be improved, from having a fridge and coffee station in the room (with reference to the rooms in the house as it is still uncomfortable and unpractical to move to the shared kitchen in the middle of the night etc), to having signs that point out 'quiet-times'."
"Good stay. They just didnt have hairdryer, iron and water in their room."
"Will definitely stay there again."
"Thanks for the aircon"
"it was really nice, the staff was helpful and friendly. i really loved it there il surely go back."
"TV bt cn be improved musically"
"Good quality accommodation for a absolute great price! Well done would definitely come again without a doubt"
"The accommodation was fine for an overnight stay - enough space and it was nice to have your own bathroom. Just very minor suggestions: soap and a glass at the basin would be good, and the light and noise from people outside the window were a bit disturbing, but I don't know whether anything could be done about this. Thanks very much - it was good value for money and suited our purposes well."
"Beds were comfortable. And the kitchen had everything you needed, that was a BIG plus."
"Best place to stay in Potchefstroom. Real value for money!"
"Plek is baie goed. En mense. Baie vriendelik<br/>Groete"

"The room was extremely cold and no extra blankets. Breakfast was promised but corn flakes and youghurt and 2 bananas. Was clean but nothing as pictured."
"In spite of a problem with SafariNow our hosts made a plan to accomodate us in a very clean comfortable and affordable room."
"We stayed at Rob's place with a group of netball players attending the Coke tournament. What an experience!! Rob and Santie was so friendly and accommodating and tended to all our needs. From organising extra beds to an earlier breakfast. The facilities arealso extremely good. We will definitely stay there again next year when we go to Potch. Thank you very much for an awesome stay!!"
"Very nice and tidy place! Nice to getaway from busy life."
"Although my stay at Rob's Place was satisfactory and I did get what I paid for, there were a few occurrences that decreased the guesthouse's professionalism. I was not received in a hospitable way - I did not feel welcome at the guesthouse, and I had to leave as soon as I arrived, because the were busy cleaning the room. The owner did not go to the trouble of finding out what time I would arrive to make sure the room would be ready on time. The second, and most important reason why I would not recommend this guesthouse to anyone, is the fact that the wifi feature on the website is misleading. The guesthouse does NOT have wifi, although they say they do on their website. The wifi on the premises is provided through a 3rd party provider (safricom), that requires registration and payment by means of a lenthly and complicated process. Even after you register, the reception is close to nothing. This was a huge problem for me, as this was one of the reasons I chose this specific guesthouse. I needed wifi desperately for my work. On the positive side, I did enjoy having my own kitchen, and it was nice and quiet in the evenings."
"Rob's Place was een van die lekkerste oornagplekke waar ek nog geslaap het. Alles is skoon en netjies, hul respekteer mens se privaatheid en die stort is heerlik. Die skottel is gestel dat 'n mens rustig kan TV kyk sonder 'n vloekery en laster. Ek het 'n paar goed vir die cleaning lady gelos, en het skaars uitgery toe die opsigter my bel en my inlig dat ek goed vergeet het! Sulke eerlikheid is skaars. Baie dankie, dit was 'n heerlike verblyf.<br><br><i>Rob's Place was one of the nicest overnight stops I have ever been to. Everything is clean and tidy, they respect their guests privacy and the shower is great. I forgot a few thing and the caretaker called me and let me know! Such honesty is rare. Thank you, it was a wonderful stay.</i>"
"Great place to overnight. The owners of the establishment made us feel at home as soon as we arrived. Clean, neat and a great place to stay after a great day at Aardklop."
