"Accommodating and welcome.
Not perfect but excellent value for the price. What I was looking for. Thank you."

"Dealing with you was a pleasure and your responses where good. The accommodation and facilities where good"

Could have had complimentary coffee or tea on offer and soap in the bathroom or kitchen.

Very happy nonetheless."

"Have no complaints. Cheap and cheerful.

Would stay again."

"Thanks for the stay at your place. I was quiet and rest full place to stay."

"Enjoyed and staff was friendly."

"It was nice and peaceful, my wife and kid enjoyed the stay."

"We traveled as students and were thrilled to find a cheap place to see Bloemfontein from. It was not great (we were really cold, it was winter and we did not have enough blankets, no heater in my rooms, a few windows did not close well, difficult to find the hosts and no real contact with them) but ..."

"We traveled as students and were thrilled to find a cheap place to see Bloemfontein from. It was not great (we were really cold, it was winter and we did not have enough blankets, no heater in my rooms, a few windows did not close well, difficult to find the hosts and no real contact with them) but good enough for the price (with a couch in front of the TV, a self-catering kitchen with everything we needed, two separate rooms and a large enough bathroom), and seemed perfectly safe. "

"I have now stayed at El Shaddai Backpackers twice and for my needs on my visit to Bloemfontein have been more than adequate, with plenty of hot water and very comfortable beds. Very peaceful stay."

"We arrived there and was welcomed by very friendly staff! They made our stay as nice as possible. The swimming pool was a winner as well, because it was a hot day."

"Great stay! Although listed as 'backpackers'; El Shaddai can easily be defined as a guest house.

Very large old farmhouse, in a beautiful area."

"Very nice and quiet. Will stay there anytime again."

"Baie dankie vir die heerlike, rustige 3 weke wat ons kon deurbring by El Shaddai, almal was so vriendelik,altyd daar om 'n hand te gee."

"I enjoyed the value-for-money accommodation and prompt response when making the booking online. The only thing: I wish they could improve the curtains at the main glass door of the bachelor's apartment for better privacy. "

"Great!"

"Basics were all there, TV and a good heater. Warm water early morning! Good, budget, self-catering accommodation to overnight en-route to the Eastern Cape. "

"Very quiet area, good value for money."

"Very nice and affordable. Will stay there again and recommend it to others."

"We loved it. Particularly good communications all the way."

"We had a very good time. People were friendly and the stay was perfect and accommodation is reasonable in terms of price."

"BAIE dankie vir vriendelike en gasvryheid ! Het elke oomblik geniet. Net jammer dit was net een nag. Weereens BAIE dankie ! "

"The venue is in such a nice area, there’s not very much people around and it’s so quiet. We had our privacy and only stayed one night. El Shaddai is perfect for a stopover."

"Our visit to El Shaddai Backpackers was not what we were expecting.
We are grateful for the stay but we were not happy with El Shaddai.

El Shaddai response:

I would recommend that the client look out for star graded accommodation in future. (For a 3 star grading at least.) El..."

El Shaddai response:

"My boyfriend and I really enjoyed our stay at El Shaddai. Dirk and his family were very helpful, and went out of their way to make us comfortable, and to provide us with anything we requested."
