“Happiness in Darkness without The Lantern”
The private swimming pool. Room 11, iyooo I'm certainly coming back. The balcony bedroom, the view of patio and swimming pool from above. I absolutely loved everything about this place. Surely I'm coming back with my kids next summer.

“Great venue!!”
The host was really cheerful, warm and welcoming. The place is located in quiet neighborhood. Not far from the mall. The house rules are friendly for every guest. Warm bed with extra blanket and electric blanket in the cold season. Everything was perfect. If you are in Bloemfontein. Book your stay at The Lantern, you will not regret. Great value for money.

Too much light from the electric lights outside of the room. Noisy when guests return in the evenings.

“Don't look any further, book at The Lantern!”
The manager was very welcoming, friendly and professional. We arrived before check in time and received a warm welcome. They have friendly and professional staff. Clean rooms, fresh bedding and the pillows, very soft and comfy. Clean pool, definitely loved the braai area! We definitely enjoyed our stay. Its a great place in a nice and quiet area. If I find myself in Bloemfontein again, The Lantern is definitely my go to place! Outstanding service!👌👌👌
