We had an absolutely amazing stay.

York House B&B, the hosts are very accommodating and even allowed us to enjoy the bokke game with them. We will definitely visit again. All our family that joined us agree that this accommodation is worth returning to and recommending to friends and family. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us and for accommodating all my last minute requests so effortlessly.

York House feel like my parents house.

From booking in we met the warm welcome at York House B&B. The owners Graham and Debbie interact with all the guests. York House was always clean and the staff was always friendly, helpful. They also avail their kitchen to prepare our goods for the Comrades.

Gemiddeld.

My oorspronklike bespreking wat klaar betaal was, was op nippertjie verander na 'n kamer wat ons nie wou hê nie. Die kamer het erg na mottegif geruik. Die stort was te warm of koud, al het ons die verwysing gevolg van die stort net op warm oop te maak. My kind en man het in koue stort gestort, en ek het in kokende water gestort. Die plek is mooi skoon en netjies. Is baie ontevrede oor verandering van ons bespreking. Ons moes ook aandring om nog 'n enkelbed in ons kamer in te skuif, Debbie wou hê my dogter moes op die mat op 'n matras slaap! Imagine that. Baie onprofessioneel om 'n bevestigde en betaalde bespreking te verander. Die plekke moet nie toegelaat word om dit te doen nie!

Average.

My original reservation, which had already been paid for, was changed at the last minute to a room we didn't want. The room smelled strongly of moth poison. The shower was too hot or cold, even though we followed the instruction to open the shower only on hot. My child and husband showered in cold water, and I showered in boiling water. The place is nice clean and tidy. Very unhappy about changing our booking. We also had to insist on moving another single bed into our room, Debbie wanted my daughter to sleep on the carpet on a mattress! Imagine that. Very unprofessional to change a confirmed and paid booking. The places should not be allowed to do this!

Hi Clinton,
Thank you for your constructive feedback.
Sorry, the room was not a self-catering unit. If they were not all booked, I would have put you in one of the self-catering units as you were here for 8 nights and would have been more comfortable with three of you in one room for the longer period.
Wish you all the best for 2020.

Baie vriendelike ontvangs, kamer netjies en mooi. Kamer egter met en suite-badkamer geadverteer, maar badkamer is apart van kamer, 'n mens moet by kamer uitloop, verby ander kamers se deure om badkamer te besoek. Dít was nie wat ons bespreek het nie.

Hi Suzette,
Thank you for your constructive feedback.
I think perhaps the reason you got the room with private bathroom (not en-suite) was the en-suite room with twin beds was already booked on the "live" system. I also did not see a specific request for en-suite, only for twin beds. I need to highlight in my quote that the private bathroom is not en-suite.

Although clean and secure the rooms are inside the owner's house. No separate entrance. We asked for self-catering but our rooms had a microwave only, no stove. Not convenient. One of the rooms didn't have an en-suite bathroom.

Hi Liesle,
Thank you for your feedback.
I am sorry you were unhappy with the accommodation and the location of our B & B.
Apologies that you felt uncomfortable walking in our front door and up the stairs to the privacy of your rooms. We always try to make guests feel welcome in our home. (Most B & B's do have some rooms in the home).
We believe we did, however, supply what we advertised in our pictures of rooms quoted. 2 x double rooms with twin beds. (Double bed on request). Double bed was not requested.
1 x self-catering en-suite room. Kitchen sink, fridge, cutlery, kettle & microwave. (Wording clearly states no hot plates or stoves allowed in rooms).
1 x room with private bathroom. Kettle, Fridge & microwave only. Not advertised as self-catering or en-suite. No complaints received about twin beds in this room.
We also now understand you wanted to be close to the sea. Sorry we have always been 35 km from the sea.
Our location on our Google map is Hillcrest/Gillitts area, not Durban Central.

Nice enough

Room was nice enough. Aircon would be a plus as the ceiling fan was not very effective. They advertise secure parking, but there is limited parking available and we had to park behind others (and were parked in). The breakfast price must be updated, as it was advertised at the time of our booking as being R65 on their website, but we were charged R75.
