They messed my time. Nobody at the closed gate. Then I went to another place that you advertised and although you had a prize they asked R200 more.
I then went to Ecotel premier lodge 65 sunny road benoni where we slept

Very good location, close to O R Thambo International Airport, East Rand Mall and local restaurants and shops. The owner Vees and Precious the housekeeper were very friendly and accommodating.
Breakfast was a full English plus cereal, fresh fruit, yoghurt and juices something for every palate. The Albatross is set in beautiful gardens with lots of birds and a pool for the guests use. Overall we could not have asked for more and will definitely return if stopping over in Benoni again.

This entire experience was completely negative from the start. After spending the first night in the family room we booked, there was a leak in the roof with water coming in over the bed. The WiFi also did not work in the room and you needed to be practicality in the main office to get a connection. After complaining about the poor room, the owner moved us to a new smaller room, which had less space and where the WiFi still did not work. The owner stated that the room would not be the same price but at checkout said that we were going to be charged the full original price and there was nothing he could do. All I requested was that we be charged the correct rate for the room we stayed in which was far smaller than the original room booked. But was still charged the full rate, despite being provided a smaller room. This is completely unfair. I've yet to have this issue resolved and cannot believe how poor the service from both the owner and booking.com is. I would strongly suggest anyone looking to stay in the area goes elsewhere as you're bound to have an incredibly frustrating experience.

Once we were in, check in was a breeze. Place was clean, comfortable, loved the fact that there was coffee. Liked the breakfast, but couldn't eat half of it because it was pork. That is my fault, as I never specified that I don't eat pork.
There is no soundproofing, like the description states. We could hear the neighbors. Checking out was a bit of a mission, because finding the only staff member there took time. Getting into the property took a while as well, because the same single staff member, had to do everything
