No. 20 On The Beach Guesthouse Google review summary 3.9 51 reviews 5 ★ 4 ★ 3 ★ 2 ★ 1 ★ Reviews on other travel sites Reviews Search reviews Eugene Fourie 1/5 5 hours ago on Google Shabby not chìc. Dirty, with mould and dust. Nothing wrong with bedding from Sheet Street, but at the prices per night, not worth it. The pillows are mere suggestions of a pillow, thin as anything. Cockroaches when the sun goes down. One curtain where two is definitely needed, and worn with some holes. I get that everything can't be new all the time, but it can be clean. The staff clearly don't know about a guest experience. Yes, it was bin day this morning, but at 7am, expect people are sleeping. Instead of wheeling the bin around for 15 mins from place to place, rather take all the trash to the bin? Talking very loudly amongst each other is also not great so early in the morning. Upon check-in, no towels, had to ask. The cleaning lady saunters in and out without even knocking or announcing what she was doing - definitely not replacing towels or toilet paper. Dirty tupperware standing around, empty sugar packets laying around outside since checking in until departure. The owner has 3 great danes that is then kept inside in the front room, barking at 6am and throughout the day when guests enter and leave. Not a place I can recommend. Booked two nights, left promptly at 8am after the first night. This place is not habital. Room 5 specifically. Dunno if the others are better
