The staff the young ladies and men were exceptionally wonderful, they very attentive and helpful. Whenever I had a need or concern they never hesitated to assist. Even though we did not take advantage of the meals we saw others enjoying their meals and congregating happily together. Was extremely surprised that it was full to capacity and I was worried about bathroom availability but it was never an issue.

My bed was very uncomfortable, of course there are rules posted regarding noise and consideration of others, I do not feel this is any fault to management or staff because they have no control over other’s actions but not all were considerate to the noise and time frames, and many were smoking even though it was posted no smoking throughout which was a burden for non smokers.

Very friendly and helpful staff and safe feeling area. The beds are comfortable and the outdoor area is really nice to sit and eat and relax and has a kitchen and an eating area covered with light gravel . The interior is also very friendly.

Unfortunately the Guest kitchen only hosted a couple of glasses and plates and was too less if more than two people wanted to eat. Also there were no spoons or cups, so the kitchen could be a little bit better equipped. The inside eating area feels a little bit dark but that's OK :)

Good place, comfy room (twin), friendly staff. Good facilities. Close to city centre you can take uber or similar taxi app.

They dont really have anyone to help during nighttime. Unfortunately another guests were drunk and making lots of noise at night, when i spoke to them, one of them got very rude and intimidating. With no staff onsite felt very unsafe. Had to call the number of the hotel, thankfully i had a local sim card or else i wouldnt have been able to connect with anyone at the reception.

The staff are very friendly and accommodating. They are quick to assist and have the guest's best interest at heart. The accommodation is clean, decorated well, and comfortable. This is excellent value for money.

The plugs in my room did not work on the second evening but I reported it in the morning and the issue was immediately addressed. The area around the guesthouse is not walkable, however the staff are very friendly and assisted with recommendations for taxi's and other services. This was a lovely stay.

Great guest house. Clean and lovely touches. Great value for money. Friendly stuff

The location is great if u want a quiet time away from everything but difficult and far away from everything. Don't expect to walk to a nearby restaurant cos there isn't any. It's out of town. Food delivery is a standard 50 N dollars which is ridiculous. ...also I did not like the noise level. The workers are wonderful and friendly but forget in the mornings that guests are sleeping. Internet didn't work in some rooms.

The location, staff, and facilities were worth more than what I paid. I lived in the dormitory, and I enjoyed my stay whilst there.

It was a self-catering guesthouse, so everyone had to clean up after themselves. It was unpleasant that some guest would leave the kitchen space messy and wait for staff to clean up after them, even though there was a clear sign informing all guest to clean up to ensure everyone enjoys a clean space.

Amazing staff, so friendly, always funny :) Great rooms, very clean, good showers/bathrooms, safe parking. Would stay there again.

When I arrived, my room was not available anymore (even though I had the booking.com confirmation). Had to switch to a different room with shared bathroom, but got the amount which I had paid too much refunded immediately. Still, I was lucky that they had other rooms available. At the time I stayed at Kate's Nest there was renovation work at the pool, so it was not comfortable to hang out there, but this should hopefully be done soon.

The staff were so friendly and my room was perfect. There was a heatwave and the aircon was ideal. The swimming pool was also very clean. Very centrally located without being in the city centre.

TV remote wasn't working. Had issues with obtaining a plug for the hairdryer they provided. these are however extremely minor.

The environment was beautiful and peaceful. I enjoyed it

There's room for improvement in terms of staff introducing new visitors in the sharing rooms. Instead of just invading the space without courtesy to those who already are in the room. Greet people and inform them that you are bringing some company in the room.
