"Nice affordable accommodation"

26 September 2016

"Boikhutsong offered a good breakfast with the room and that was the positive.on the down side the king bed was 2 twin beds combined together and was very hard. The linen was torn with some stains on it and the shower head in the bath didnt have a hook so you couldnt really convert into a shower, however the room was clean."
"Good service but bad rooms"

17 September 2014

"The lady at the reception was very nice and friendly. The rooms however need definitely an upgrade and some renovations. We slept in a huge bed but the bed spirals stood out and made the night uncomfortably to sleep in. I spotted a couple of cockroaches in the room. After a long journey I was looking forward to using the pool which was not really clean and so I did not jump in. We requested a cot that was not provided. I would not come back to this guesthouse or recommend it to someone else."
"Convenient location and nice people"

"I would recommend the Boikhutsong Guesthouse. Not fancy, but very pleasant and staff is very helpful and nice. Good breakfast. No restaurant, wi-fi, or internet. Ask about nearby restaurants because they are not obvious. Nearby small shopping center was surprise and almost anything you need you can get there. Proximity to Phaleborwa gate makes it great pick."
"Boikhutjong... A real Getaway Haven"

26 March 2013

"My husband and I had a real relaxing time at Boikhutjong, just as the name suggests. We even recommended this place to relatives and they immediately booked in for the next night. Phalaborwa had a very beautiful and cool two nights and I believe this was a cherry on top of our stay in Boikhutjong, You keep it up! We will spread the word of mouth!"
"Our stay at Boikhutsong Guesthouse"

05 November 2012

"My brother and I enjoyed our stay at Boikhutsong Guesthouse and for me personally, I must say the management, office and support staff are a hospitable bunch of sociable people, both as individuals and as a team. I look forward to staying at Boikhutsong again when I visit Phalaborwa in the future."
"Nice pool area"

08 April 2010

"The 'king size' beds were just two singles pushed together, taking up about 90% of the room. The mosquito net, clearly intended for a single bed got in the way so much we had to take it down. The bathroom was cramped, with a tiny basin and only a bath. Aesthetically, the rooms do not come close to the pictures. The pool area was surprisingly nice, with deck chairs and lots of little tables and chairs."

"We had a wonderful stay at the Guesthouse. By far one of the best places we stayed at in South Africa, and we were all over the country. Thankyou very much for having us. If we come to South Africa again, i would love to go back to the Boikhutsong Guesthouse, a very peaceful place to stay."

"It is not everyday that I arrive at a strange place with so much pleasure yet leave with so much regret. We were exhausted and hot when we arrived. But what really impressed me on arrival was the friendliness of the hosts, particularly Abi Moagi. From the onset we were made to feel home and she particularly went out of her way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. The highlight of our stay was a braai we shared with the hosts on our last day. We will definitely return one day soon"

"WOW!! A fantastic & affordable guesthouse with amazingly friendly hosts."

"Our stay was extremely relaxing & homely from the moment we arrived. In fact, our comfort was in mind even before we got there. Koketso & Abi, our hosts, welcomed us with warm hearts & glowing faces. I travelled with my wife, my sister, her husband & their toddler, & my young niece. We were pleasantly surprised by the excellent reception as well as our 1 night stay at Boikhutsong. Our hosts entertained us & we all had a braai together that evening. The chill of the night weather was quickly put to bed by the warmth of this establishment. We were so relaxed the next morning that we checked out later than expected, just taking it easy & not wanting to leave the peace & tranquility of Boikhutsong. If & when we are in the area again, we will most definitely knock on these doors, fully expecting to see the bright faces again. We live in Lenasia, Johannesburg & the drive is terribly long. Nevertheless, when the desire arises to visit Phalaborwa again, we will get away to Boikhutsong to unwind & relax."
