"Family of Nine Left Stranded Outside in the Dark
An extremely distressing experience. I booked Flowers of Joy Wellness Villa through Hotels.com for nine family members, including my elderly mother and four children aged 7–14.
The host called on check-in day and I confirmed arrival between 5–6 pm. Check-in was advertised until 9 pm. At 6:06 pm, I WhatsApped to say we were almost there; the message was delivered. We arrived at 6:20 pm, but repeated calls went unanswered. At 6:24 pm, I messaged...

The hotel is family run and the Lady who runs it cannot do enough to make your stay enjoyable. She was very welcoming. The hotel is in a quiet, peaceful, 'country' location, even though close to the airport there was no noise whatsoever. The room was comfortable with a big double bed with an adjoining bathroom. Separate kitchen and dining facilities were available where breakfast was served and drinks could be obtained at all times.

Mike and his wife also Cindy were the best host. During my 6 nights, l was treated like a king. It was like having your family spending the weekend. Mike and his staff went above and beyond to make my stay comfortable.
Marvellous breakfast and daily free complementary sort drinks. Closer to the airport with a shuttle bus. Right from the bottom of my heart to the depths of my soul thanks Mike. I will see you soon unless you sell your business to someone else.

Shalom House was decorated to a high standard, clean and homely.
The room has a keypad to unlock/lock the door so there is no need to carry a key around. It was spacious with aircon, a comfy bed, fridge/microwave/kettle which is nice to have.
They provided a delicious fresh home cooked breakfast with a variation of foods each day we were there, as well as fresh juice and fruit, cereal tea/coffee. The staff especially Liz were wonderful and so lovely and friendly. Breakfast is served by the...

I stayed here recently as a solo traveller and I found it to be an excellent, friendly and safe stay.
I spent a lot of time researching the best places to stay and this B&B was no 1 everytime.
I'm so glad I got to stay here and look forward to staying again.

The staff was amazing. From reception to the young lady at the bar, the accommodating server on the rooftop. All of them made our stay so perfect and exceptional. I called for the ac to be turned off and it was sorted out immediately.
Late check out was provided without hassle. The ambiance and the friendly accommodating staff made the experience all round excellent.

The hotel was excellent, the wifi was especially excellent. I was there only for a couple of nights found the staff actively helpful. I was warned that the Saturday night there would be a concert in the stadium opposite until midnight. My room faced the stadium and it was loud in the room, but I was out most of that evening, and fortunately I went to sleep at 11pm even though the concert was still ongoing.

The hotel is a real gem. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful. Room was clean. Nice to have a balcony to sit out on too. Breakfast was plentiful and a good range of options. Pool area was also great. Used this every day. We ate at Kava. Pizzas were excellent! Would 100% stay here again.
