Lemon & Lime Guesthouse

Such a cozy room and the most delicious breakfast I have had. Amazing omelette.

Was clean and very confutable, breakfast was amazing. The windows just need some cleaning the room was clean and tidy. There were somewhat a lot of noise with the gate opening Infront of the room.

everything about Lemon& Lime was super great. rooms were great. their service was more than excellent, the balcony uptears there was lit and lastly their food is delicious. I just can't wait to see myself again at Lemon and Lime.

My new go-to spot to stay in Bloemfontein. Friendly, accessible and accommodating hosts, lovely rooms that are well equipped. The property is safe with 24hr security and a beautifully maintained garden and pool. All of this at very reasonable rates.

Fantastic stay, with the Lemon and Lime staff going out of their way to make our sports club members very comfortable whilst catering for our wide range of dietary requirements and accommodation needs. If you are in Bloemfontein, this is the place to stay.

We reserved the family room, expecting to find at least double beds to accommodate our needs. It seems unreasonable to book a room designated for families and then be required to pay for two separate rooms if you need an extra bed instead of a sleeper couch. A family room should ideally cater to the needs of at least five individuals. My son participated in a tennis tournament and required adequate rest during our stay. To ensure his comfort, I allowed him to share the bed with my husband while I made do with the uncomfortable sleeper couch. Unfortunately, the family room was too compact, and the furniture and kitchen did not meet standard expectations. Additionally, the breakfast provided was subpar. If takeaway options are available due to our early departures each morning, it would be appreciated if dietary preferences were considered. For instance, I avoid sweets and white bread, leaving me with limited choices. A plain Cheese sandwich can hardly pass as an adequate breakfast! As an employee of CUT, I chose your guest house based on a colleague's recommendation. However, my experience fell short of expectations, leaving me very disappointed.

The extreme racism experienced at Lemon and Lime cannot go unmentioned. They use terrible and tedious administration processes as a cover up for the fact that they don't want people of colour staying at their accommodation. The amount of paperwork they required is completely and utterly terrible. They wanted to know the full names and numbers of each and every guest staying there when a group booking was made. They were short of requesting copies of their IDs and most likely background checks. Never in my life have I ever come across such processes. They wanted copies of my ID and credit card because they were worried that I would commit payment fraud. The guests we booked for were treated horribly and constant check-ups were made as if they were living in a prison. This place needs to be known for how badly they treat people of colour!! No visitors were allowed. Everyone had to be quiet and in their rooms by 10!!! White people were treated with so much respect but not us. This is the worst accommodation. When we mentioned and queried this treatment the owner accused us of wanting a discount. This just shows that they even think people of colour cannot afford their accommodation. What a horrible experience!

The whole process of being greeted by Manie (spelling?) and shown to my amazing room. Followed by the personal attention at breakfast by Loretta was really outstanding. With all the little branded personal touches in the room, I can understand why there are comments about it being “home from home”. I arrived a little late in the evening so did not get to enjoy the garden but I will make plans to check-in a little earlier next time.

This place was excellent - food was great / clean rooms / fast & friendly service from all. I will recommend this place anytime for Business / Leisure travels. I have travelled to many places but this particular one in Bloem stands out. They make you feel like home away from home & it was very peaceful at night as well. The morning breakfast was amazing & I really enjoyed my stay there.
