    The place was beautifully designed and stunningly beautiful, no reason to complain, would recomand. The setting was absolutely fabulous and best possible, close enough to Thesen Island, a taxi, and activities and restaurants. The restaurant was not too far from the hotel.

    All good.

    As young travelers, we absolutely loved the variety of breakfast options at Somervreug Guesthouse. Wendy, our amazing hostess, was so friendly and helpful, recommending places to visit and even explaining the breakfast menu to us. The guesthouse also has a lovely pool which we enjoyed during our stay. The location of the guesthouse is perfect, as it is close to everything in town. We would definitely visit again!

    Felt very secure, no complaints at all.

    Spending Christmas here was an unforgettable experience! The views, from our room, were simply breathtaking! We also loved that everything we needed was in close proximity without feeling overwhelmed. Our hostess made us feel right at home from the get-go and provided useful tips on what to do around the area. The cherry on top of the cake was the scrumptious breakfast we had each morning.

    Honestly, there is nothing bad to say about this place. However, the coffee was not to my liking, but that's really just a personal preference.

    The breakfast variety was delicious and satisfying, with a range of options to choose from. The hosts were caring, helpful, and friendly, making me feel right at home. The rooms were clean and fine, providing a comfortable and luxurious experience. The view of the lagoon was beautiful, creating a serene and picturesque atmosphere. The location of the guesthouse was safe, important to me as a solo traveler - I never felt worried or concerned for my safety.

    While it was a fair walk into town, it was easy to get a taxi, making transportation convenient. the gas hot water heater on the terrace caused a slight smell from the rooms nearby and the air conditioning units, but thankfully it wasn't hot enough to cause discomfort.

    The rooms are amazing! They have everything you need, like a private bathroom with free toiletries, a flat-screen TV, and a safety deposit box. The air conditioning is a plus for those hot days. And some rooms even have a balcony or a patio, with a fantastic lake view. I felt like I was in paradise!

    Personally, I didn't care for the hot tub. Others might enjoy it, but it just wasn't my thing.

    This hotel boasts fantastic views of the estuary and offers a comfortable and well-equipped guest experience. Guests appreciate the exemplary service, with many singling out the friendly and helpful Wendy. Rooms are spacious and offer more than the expected amenities, such as robes and a full bar fridge. Guests also loved the delicious breakfast options and the features on offer, including a lovely pool area.

    While the hotel is in a great location, some guests noted that it may be nicer to have a more private pool area.

    A delightful stay with amazing views of the lagoon. the breakfast selection was a real highlight, varied and delicious. the staff were very friendly, hospitable and always willing to help with recommendations and directions.

    Nothing to dislike, it was a fantastic stay.
