What an experience, and not in the way you'd expect.||||We booked accommodation at The Golden Gate Guesthouse for two of our employees on the 22nd of February, checking out on the 24th.||||We've never before used The Golden Gate Guesthouse, and booked their accommodation purely based on the Trip Advisor rating and the most recent visitor reviews. ||In short, I will be sure to read the reviews more carefully in future when booking accommodation for our employees, as they were absolutely appalled at the condition of their rooms. ||||One of our employees informed me that they were firstly given two rooms keys, which did not work. Then they were shown to two separate Wendy-houses over-whelmed with the stench of sewerage and infested with cock-roaches, due to the open drainage system running right underneath the units.||||After a horrific night's sleep, they requested that their stay be cancelled rather than spending one more night. ||||I struggled to get a hold of Roseline to cancel the booking and request a refund - after phoning more than 5 times, the phone was answered and I was promptly informed that we will not be receiving a refund for the remaining night's stay, as the guests' have signed a 'check-in' form where it is clearly stated that no refunds will be given in event of cancellation. ||||I wholly understand the concept of this clause, but would expect that under the circumstances they would be more accommodating, and a bit more eager to uphold their user review ratings, but it seems like everything so far, this assumption was incorrect.
