This is the worst place I've ever stayed in. And I partly blame Bookings.com for not showing the past reviews and letting the people book a place as bad as this and letting the owners continue to advertise it.We didn't even stay a night. The place smelled terrible and I think it must be condemned as I think there is black mold. It could be such a nice place but clearly they only take your money and don't look after the place. I would like my money back as im sure the owners know that the place needs drastic measures to get it up to par again. I think they painted over mold. There are so many things wrong with this place!! Are you not ashamed for stealing people's money like this?

“It was like someone set up a b&b 20yrs ago and just left it. I’ll never go back.”
Location was good. But then again anywhere in Marloth Park is good.

1, Had to wait for the host on delivery of keys for about 2 hours 2. Host did not expect us, sound like some communication gap to inform the readiness of house, we had to wait for cleaning of house and got towels only 2 days later after arrival. 3. Swimming pool very dirty, milky colour 4. Stove not in good working condition. 5. No cleaning material supplied. 6. Bath room door broken and struggled to close and open

“The stay was awesome, thank you.”
The facility provided the comfort needed for a weekend stay. Liked the separate cottage. The outside living area was great and very inviting to use. The bushbaby feeder is an awesome addition and highlight of the trip.
