Boord Guest House

Our stay was nothing short of amazing! From the moment we arrived, the friendly and attentive staff made us feel at home. The vintage charm of the guesthouse adds so much character, and the small personal touches truly sets it apart. The rooms were spotless, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the breakfast was a feast with plenty of options to choose from. Its central location makes it a great value stay in the heart of Stellenbosch, close to everything!

This guest house was ok but certainly not worth the money we paid. The bathroom in particular was full of black mould, no shower curtain so the water flooded out each time we showered and we were left with a very dirty and used sponge in the kitchenette. We were asked how our stay was on our second day and I explained the issues. The owner didn’t know which room we were in when I said we were in room 4 and had to ask one of the hosts which one it was. I got the impression she comes in for checkin and checkout and doesn’t do much in between. The bathroom was cleaned and their reason was they didn’t think it could be cleaned and googled how to do it! We were then offered a free additional night which was impossible as we were going to a wedding. We had asked for a refund of some sort to make up for things and were told this was impossible. Having both managed a hotel in UK for many years and now doing the same in Zimbabwe, we know this isn’t the case. We are also very understanding of the operational problems that hospitality workers are faced with and the fact we asked for a refund was evident of our complete disappointment. Our suggestion would be to the owner to take more time in checking the every day things and not to leave it to her staff Deal with the complaint and always try and keep the guests happy before they resort to a bad review. In this case, a refund of one nights stay instead of the offer of an additional night was a simple and fair request. Having dealt with TripAdvisor reviews for many years I have no doubt the owner will try to justify things but would seriously suggest that you take this review constructively and make some changes. Breakfast was also very disappointing to the point we chose not to eat on 3 mornings out of the 5 we were there.

We stayed at the Boord for a night. The staff was very friendly, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the beds were very comfy. The breakfast was lovely and we had more tgen enough to choose from. They are central and easy to get to all the attractions.

We were treated to a lovely night and very good treatment and breakfast. Thank you very much.... I can recommend Die Boord to anyone who would like clean, neat accommodation at a reasonable price. The staff are very friendly and helpful. . :)

I enjoyed my stay a lot. Breakfast was great. Staff are warm and friendly. Place was very neat and tidy. Would stay there again for sure. The bed was very comfortable and I slept like a baby. Would gladly stay here again and would recommend it to anyone seeking a nice intimate place to stay

Sherry is a warm-hearted kind hostess. She made sure that we had everything that we needed to make our stay enjoyable and satisfying. Her staff took care of us by making sure that the room was comfortable, clean and stocked for our time spent at the guesthouse. The breakfast was well-made and delicious. Every morning the service was the same, warm and excellent. Having our pets with us made it more pleasant and comforting. I would recommend Boord Guesthouse to anyone who needs a relaxing break away from the hustle and bustle of city living.
