Whale away was 3* accommodation with 1* service experience. Though the location good although it was on a main road not overlooking the whale watching coastal walk as it appears. The beds were comfy. ||However, our main reason for writing this review was the peculiar, robotic sounding manager who seems to loath guests staying at her guest house. Felt very spied upon and unwelcome. Could benefit from a lesson in hospitality as we felt everything we requested (hot water, access to the property, a response to phone calls on the way to the property) was our fault. Simple requirements for a guesthouse, no?||Waited outside for half an hour (phoning with no response and emailing) met with a cold welcome and being told we would be blocked if we spam call her again! No apology after waiting on the street, a prime target, who had to pay our taxi driver extra to stay with us for that time.||Noise travels very clearly at the Whale Away guest house. While we didn’t have breakfast (the kitchen was for staff use only despite not offering any kind of catering and dirty towels on the worktop upon arrival), the communal areas were paper thin and every conversation easily heard throughout the house. ||Keys were provided but we found our room disturbed when we returned from dinner. No mention or evidence of cleaning - bed unmade yet clearly personal possessions moved. Disturbing. As Jordan Peele said “Get Out”. Up your...

FUJAM deste lugar!!!!!!!!! O atendimento mais absurdo e mais revoltante que já tive em toda a minha vida. esse lugar não deveria trabalhar com hóspede, pois não sabe atender os clientes e não compreende o conceito de hospitalidade e o que significa Serviço. ||Paguei a diária adiantado e quando estávamos na estrada pegamos um bloqueio que nos impediu de fazer o caminha mais curto. Precisamos dar uma volta enorme e pegamos outro bloqueio. ||Na reserva estava escrito o seguinte: ||"Por gentileza, observe que o check-in é feito estritamente antes 19:00 h. Por favor, informe sua hora de chegada prevista à Whale Away Guest House com antecedência. Para isso você pode utilizar o campo de Pedidos Especiais no momento da reserva ou entrar em contato diretamente com a propriedade. Os dados estão disponíveis na confirmação da reserva." ||Entramos em contato com o Guest House informando que devido ao bloqueio da estrada chegaríamos 20 a 30 minutos atrasados devido a todos esses problemas que não temos controle. Imaginei que a resposta seria "venham tranquilos, não tenham pressa que daremos um jeito Ou algo do gênero "mas não, o pesadelo só começou! A atendente Monica muito grosseira e absurdamente estúpida disse para nem irmos ao local e que não esperaria de jeito algum, pois a recepção estaria fechada. Ligamos 3 vezes para ela e a mesma começou a berrar e bufar no telefone. Fiquei totalmente horrorizada com a agressividade e postura dessa pessoa. A conexão de telefone estava péssima e informei a ela que estávamos sem acesso a internet e que a bateria do celular estava acabando, dessa forma não tínhamos como reservar ou encontrar outro hotel em uma região tão remota. A estúpida mulher nem teve um pingo de solidariedade e insistiu para não irmos para lá já que chegaríamos atrasados. Ao fazer uma reserva antecipada em uma viagem, você se planeja, pesquisa e opta pelo estabelecimento visando uma tranquilidade. A última coisa que você espera em uma viagem é passar tanto stress, preocupação e insegurança como passamos. No inverno, a África do Sul escurece muito rápido. Chegamos no hotel as 19h30 e ninguém nos recebeu conforme já havíamos imaginado. Andamos pela cidade toda, batendo de porta em porta atrás de um guest house aberto (nessa região não comum ter hotéis). Deixamos de comer porque a prioridade era achar um lugar para dormir em uma noite muito fria. Após inúmeras tentativas conseguimos nos alocar em um guest house com um proprietária super simpática que abriu uma casa especialmente para nós. Sempre procuro hotéis de alto padrão devido a garantia, qualidade no atendimento e facilidades nos serviços, o que não encontrei no Whale Away. . Ficamos muito preocupados com tudo e o mais indignante é que o hotel se recusou a nos devolver o dinheiro devido ao no show. Encaminhamos um email informando o atraso conforme a reserva orienta, entramos em contato telefonico e mesmo aparecendo no hotel 30 minutos após o horário sugerido, tocamos o interfone e campainha, todas as luzes estavam acessas e se recusaram a abrir a porta para nós. Todos nós estamos expostos a eventualidades, e a flexibilidade e empatia são a base da hospitalidade, princípios essenciais de quem atua com o bem servir. Se esse empreendimento não compreende o que é isso, entendo que ele não está apto a...

This is going to be a little long, so you make up your mind. We arrived before 14:00 in Hermanus, and called the guest house to see if we could store our luggage there for the check-in later. Management was quite rude and did not want to entertain the idea in any shape or format. We arranged our luggage to stay with our shuttle service. Room was spacious. Bathroom even more so, with a really large shower. Problem with shower is that the floor was a little slippery. There was mold on the ceiling and cornice of the bedroom... Bed had a fitted and top sheet on first night. 2nd night had no top sheet. 2nd night had no hot water when we arrived at 9,30pm. Management said one of the other guests had got carried away with water usage and did apologize.On the first morning we could not make any coffee, as the cups had a crystallized substance on the rim. (almost like something had been left in the suacwr when the cup was stored on it. This was a hit and miss for me. Due to the mold issue, it pushed it to the point that I would not...
