    The outdoor swimming pool was a refreshing oasis in the hot weather, perfect for cooling off after a day of exploring. It felt like diving into a crystal-clear lagoon.

    Poor Wi-Fi connection.

    We had a lovely stay at Benguela. The hosting was superb and the Chef's Table experience was exquisite. The art work and use of space in the hotel is eclectic and beautiful. The view from our room overlooking the pool and the mountains was stunning. The breakfast in bed was awesome and Jonathan took great care of us. The ocean is just a short walk away, perfect for whale watching. Excellent value for money.

    Can't recommend this hotel highly enough.

    Benguela Villa was an absolute delight. Jonathan, our host, made us feel incredibly welcome and comfortable. the decor and overall vibe of the establishment were refreshing and inspiring. We didn't have dinner at the Villa, but based on the breakfast, we will definitely try it on our next visit. the location was convenient, and we spent most of our day enjoying the pool and the stunning views of Walker Bay. A short drive brought us to the magical beach and caves in the Walker Bay Nature Reserve. Cons: Everything was spot on! ⭐️.

    Amazing food and drink experience, exceeded expectations. Incredible host and friendly staff. Beautiful property with modern and clean communal areas. the "in-house" dinner is a must-try, highly recommended.

    Inaccurate room description - no aircon despite being listed. Poor wifi connection.

    The location was perfect for exploring the area and had stunning views of the bay. the rooms were spacious and comfortable, with ample storage space. the breakfast was delicious and the service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff. the property had a beautiful pool and an eclectic art collection, creating a delightful atmosphere.

    One minor drawback was the carpeted bathroom, as a tiled floor would have been more hygienic.

    We were warmly welcomed and felt immediately at home. the staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, including baking a birthday cake and hosting a six-course dining experience. the self-catering bungalow was well-equipped and the nearby beach was a convenient plus. Highly recommended for a relaxing and luxurious stay.

    Felt immediately at home, no complaints whatsoever.

    Our stay at Benguela was an absolute treat! The decor was a delight and the location was very convenient. We were welcomed by a friendly host who made us feel comfortable throughout our stay. The highlight was the delicious breakfast in bed, prepared by the amazing chef. The stunning views of Walker Bay made it even more special. I highly recommend Benguela for a memorable and budget-friendly 5-star experience.
