170 guests' feedbackEverything we needed.
Friendly reception, good night's rest, wonderful stay. Just a pity there is no sink or faucet in the kitchen.
We only spent the night there, but would not recommend it for a longer stay. The room is a bit small and cramped, but there is everything we needed. Everything was clean and tidy. The fridge didn't work, but the owner was very helpful in keeping our things in her fridge and freezer until the next morning.
Excellent overnight facility for a weary traveler!
It was very nice.
Very nice. Calm and quiet.
We found the place easily, it was very neat and the bed was wonderful to sleep on. The hosts were very accommodating. Would definitely recommend for a pocket sized sleepover on the road, plus it's pet friendly!
We had a wonderful stay. The place is neat, well furnished, very clean and tidy. We slept well after the long journey.
Thank you very much, there were no problems. Everything is clean and very tidy.
Neat and comfortable accommodation with everything you need.
Everything was nice except it lacks zircon very hot.
Everything was fine except that I think they could really put a fan in the room and living room. It was uncomfortably warm.
Great for overnight. A kitchen sink would help a lot though.
Very cute place. Would just suggest that they put the WiFi password in the slot or give it to the guests on arrival. Will stay there again.
It was fair for the price - and we didn't need anything more for the short stopover. Everything was clean and tidy. However, it is very small and cramped. No hot water at the bathroom sink. No faucet/sink in the kitchen/lounge - dish only - water from the bathroom. No table in the kitchen/living room - just 2 standing trays. Miraculously there were no mosquitoes - January in B. West! The heat was severe in the afternoon - fan only. Shade net for car was a beast. Satisfied for the price.
Room well equipped and clean. Owner helpful and friendly. Secure parking and area.
Perfect for an overnight stop. Comfortable, clean, and private. Pleasant host, would recommend to friends and family.
Must ask for the WiFi password if you want to use it.
Place is well located and very safe. Very comfortable, just short of dishwashing area, but otherwise very nice stay. Air conditioner would also help, but the fan was ok.
Delicious! Very quiet and peaceful environment. Away from the trucks of the main road. It is relatively small, but there is everything and the kitchen is well equipped.
It's pretty basic but it's clean, cheap and fine for an overnight stay.
Neat and clean with all amenities for overnight travelers. The pigeons wake you up nice and early. We had a nice stay with the friendly people.
Very nice resting place for two on the night road between Pretoria and Cape Town.
Very pleasant and comfortable. Host was professional and friendly.
Perfect for a single overnight stay between a long journey.
Clean and tidy. Friendly welcome.
I was hesitant about doing this review because. No kitchenette basin to wash dish's. No hot water tap in the bathroom basin. See photo of the basin, with the single tap. No earth leakage switch on the premises DB board. The only hot water was from boiling the kettle and pouring it in the, which could heat stress break the basin. If these issues were resolved, this place would be well worth the money spent. NB. I was hesitant about talking to anyone about problems because this appears to be a mother daughter run business with the elderly mother receiving guests. NB. No refund is requested, the stay serves our purpose as a night sty over during our trip from Bloemfontein to Cape Town.
The owner is a very friendly lady. Everything is clean and tidy, and she likes to help where she can.
The place is comfortable for 2 people to spend the night. Necessary facilities are available.
Useful place to sleep. Place is clean and tidy. Friendly service.
Small, but all that is needed. Clean and tidy. Could do with hooks to hang clothes in bathroom.
Ideal for overnight accommodation only for single person or couple.
Friendly reception by the hostess. Load shedding period — fully charged rechargeable light available. Clean and tidy. Everything you need for an overnight stay.
Will definitely stay there again when I drive through town.
All the essential requirements for a relaxing night's rest are available amidst friendly and helpful assistance.
Reception was very good.
Place is peaceful and beautiful.
It was a lovely stay.
Two-prong adapter did not work. Living room floor lamp could not turn on at all.
If you just want to sleep over, this is the place.
Comfortable and well equipped.
It had been wonderfully quiet and slept like a rock. Will make a visit there again when necessary.
A nice place for an overnight stay.

Everything one needs for an overnight stay when on the long road.
This place is a lovely hidden gem. Marina, the host, was lovely and even drove all the way from work early to let us in. There is secure parking behind a locked gate and it is in a quiet neighbourhood which allowed for a good night's sleep. The value for money was excellent and the room was a good size, comfortable and offered a lot of privacy. We will definitely be coming back here.
Will use it again.
Beautiful garden and very neat apartment. Friendly aunt.
We had a wonderful stay. Friendly hostess and safe parking.
Peaceful overnight stay after long journey, suitable to rest for the continuation of the journey.
Not well equipped, shower head is broken, fridge does not seal properly, no hot water at sink, no sink in kitchen. For just stopping to sleep and then driving again it's okay, felt like a truck stop with very little hospitality and not very poor accessories.
Beautiful, neat place. Our overnight stay was very comfortable.
Very nice and comfortable stay. The kids loved playing outside and stretching their legs.
Clean, tidy accommodation for an overnight stay.
Very friendly service and tidy.
Very clean and quiet. Enjoy a good night's rest.
Very nice place, clean with a fan and wifi that works well. Karoo park nearby if you have a few hours.
The room (single garage) is too small for a double bed, very cramped. No hot water in the sink. Not a good experience.
Friendly, clean and hospitable.
Went in winter, it was very cold, no heater. No basin with running water in kitchen and in the bathroom, basin only had cold water. Extremely uncomfortable to wash dishes. Very tiny, hardly any space to move other than that it was fine for an overnight stay.
Friendly welcome. Shower works well, bed comfortable, slept well. Only negative was that Wi-Fi was very weak in room, apparently due to Telkom problems.
Everything was clean and tidy. Host and lady friendly.
We didn't get there until after 19:00 in the evening, the owner was very hospitable and quickly helped us with the keys etc. The room is very suitable for an overnight stay if you are travelling. I will definitely stay there again if I pass through Beaufort West.
Friendly and kind owners, very humble and secure.
After a day's journey on busy roads, the setup of Rus-i-Biki lived up to its name, to be able to enjoy a good night's rest!
Bed a bit too big for space. Bed not very firm. Maybe 2 single beds instead.
Vreeslik bedompig, weet dit was warm, maar met slegs ;n waaier was dit ondraaglik warm.
I suggest the name plate Rus. a little is hidden under branches and just needs to be moved. The bed is too high for short people. Otherwise very, very neat.
Good overnight stay.
The place is so quiet and peaceful. We got a great night's rest before heading out the next evening.
See stars.
Everything one could possibly need for sleeping over, washing, eating and drinking coffee is conveniently available.
Very friendly. Place is neat and clean. Will use it again.
Comfortable sleepover place.
Very neat and value for money. Very safe, friendly welcome.
Our hostess was friendly and helpful. The accommodation is pleasant and recommendable as a pleasing and economic overnight stay to break one's journey. The bed is comfortable. The facilities are adequate. The accommodation is well price related.
Just what one needs.
If you're travelling far and need a comfy, neat, simple and value for money place to spend the night so you can resume your travels the next day then this is the perfect place for you.
The accommodation is clean and tidy, but very cramped. There is only cold water at the bathroom sink and the kitchenette does not have a sink. There are only cash payment facilities and they did not have change. It was little and I left it. Mosquitoes and a few flies bothered me and it was particularly hot. The bathroom light did not work. There was a fan, but an aircon would help a lot in the summer with the Karoo heat. It's good enough for 1 night, but not longer.
Place is perfect for a night's rest. The owner is a friendly lady and made an effort to accommodate our times. Thank you very much.
Friendly service. Everything that was needed. Good choice of overnight stay for one night.
Was clean, safe and easy to get.
Very uncomfortable bed. We had trouble sleeping and will not be able to stay there again.
Small, cozy and very neat. Very affordable and ideal if you just want to sleep over.
Lovely hot water in the shower. Bed was a bit creaky and it would have been nice to have a basin in the kitchen, but for the amount we paid it was acceptable/understandable. Hosts were helpful.
Maybe you just have to look at the fridge. During the night he made all kinds of noises which at one point woke us up. (Perhaps it could also be that something was leaning against the fridge that could have caused the noises?)
Rooms were very clean and tidy, and friendly staff. The place is small and cozy for 2 people looking for a comfortable place to rest for the night.
The photos on the web page for Rus-i-Biki can be upgraded. It looks completely different, is much neater. The photos I saw made me doubt a little. It looks so yellowish, but it's not.
Comfortable with extra treats and friendly welcome. Thank you very much.
We were received very kindly and the accommodation is clean and tidy. There is safe parking and we slept well. The only downside is that there is no sink in the kitchen.
Very nice and peaceful and quiet, good after a long day's drive.
Neat place and ideal for a 1 or 2 night stayover.
Arina was hospitable, accommodating and her place is perfect for a couple wanting to overnight in Beaufort-West. Neat, quality linen and safe parking are the highlights.
People are very friendly and it's clean.
Friendly reception. Enjoyed the sleepover.
Friendly welcome. No problem when we were a little late. Clean and safe accommodation.
Take it easy and will visit again.
It had only been a simple resting place for the night. What we needed was provided and the owner was very helpful.
We needed a hot shower, warm bed and a safe place to park, and we found it here.
We had a good rest - recommend them for a night or two's sleepover in the area.
Nice overnight facility. A little neat for big people. But good value for money.
We were received very kindly. The place is convenient for an overnight stay, but not suitable for longer. The bathroom sink does not have a hot water faucet, making it difficult for a man to shave. We had to boil water in the kettle. There are also no washing-up facilities for the dishes. You can take a look at the mold that has formed around the sink faucet and on the wall above the sink. Furthermore, there are no complaints.
Good overnight spot!
If you just want to spend the night, this is affordable accommodation with all the necessary facilities.
Would be nice if we could be told where the kitchen light is turned on.
The accommodation is safe and clean. The following improvement will make it more pleasant to stay there. Installation of air conditioner in room. Supply of hot water at bathroom sink. Marketed as self-catering, but there is no sink for washing dishes in kitchen area and must be washed in bathroom sink. No braai facilities, small, detached outdoor braai would be pleasant.
Very cute place, would recommend it. Peaceful surroundings, safe and peaceful.
An air conditioner and a sink in the kitchen. Pull out bed and a table with chairs a better option in the kitchen. Just big enough for 2 people.
Very calm. Very comfortable for sleeping over and resting after a long journey. Friendly service. Very calm. Can recommend anytime.
Safe, peaceful environment. Neat, clean, good linen. Milk, water bottles in fridge. Friendly reception and farewell.
The facilities are completely adequate. I will visit there again.
Safe. Good location and quiet.
A noise-free environment and relatively safe with neat and clean accommodation.
Would prefer milk then, especially with Covid-19. Running water in the kitchen would be an asset.
Quiet area and safe parking.
It is pleasant to book accommodation through the website.
Would recommend to anyone wanting to sleep over.
I slept great. The bed felt like a little cloud. Very nice. I would prefer to have extra channels on TV. There were almost no available TV channels. The room was very clean and tidy. And the silence helped me a lot, as I am a light sleeper. So the fact that Rus-i-Biki is away from the high street helps a lot! I would have preferred there to be a sink in the kitchen to wash my flask and mug before I hit the long road again, but there was no sink in the kitchen, nor an ashtray to put my rubbish in not. Otherwise, I rested very well and was treated very very kindly by the owner.
They should consider putting in a small on demand hot water heater and sink
Met all my needs.
Good overnight stay. Everything you need, comfortable bed and nice big fridge.
Mattress to be replaced.
Everything I needed. Quiet and peaceful. Will use again.
Quiet overnight and very tidy.
Good value for money. Clean and reception was friendly. Definitely the best price around.
Very neat, just very hot.
As per above, all was good.
Would love to have a sink in the kitchen as well as a folding table for you to eat. Otherwise no problem.
Enough space for overnight stay. Quiet and private. Just couldn't get the WiFi.
We slept here on the way to the cape. The owner was very friendly and welcoming, and very helpful. We traveled with our baby, and he can sleep over for free in his own cot. The place is very small, but cozy and well equipped. We will definitely stay there again!
We enjoyed our stay. It was good value and perfect for a stopover.
The stay was convenient, neat and clean.
No complaints, very nice.
Very nice place. Nice place to sleep. Quiet environment. Safe. Reception not very friendly.
Highly recommend, and was happy with facilities.
Very nice stay in a tranquil area, thank you!
Thank you very much it was good.
Value for money in peaceful, safe and quiet overnight accommodation.
5 liters of drinking water was made available. Coffee and tea bags, sugar and milk available when we arrived. Neighbour farms with pigeons - so the chirping of the pigeons can be heard early in the morning. Not annoying.
We are very satisfied with our stay at Rus-i-Biki. Everything neat and clean, friendly reception. Slept well!
People very friendly, place very tidy, and absolutely safe, would sleep there again anytime. Thank you very much.
Very neat and well appointed place.
Enjoyed staying there.
There are many cupboards, but they are empty and just take up space, while the room and bathroom are very cramped.
Friendly welcome. Vehicle secure in fenced premises. Ideal for overnight travelers at a bargain rate. Will stay here again in the future.
The place was clean and peaceful. I would however recommend changing the bed. The mattress is uncomfortable and the bed makes noises with every move.
Will use them again.
We loved the four-legged children. It is a quiet and peaceful area and very safe. The accommodation meets all the basic requirements and is very clean and tidy.
Small, well rested. Sufficient for overnight stay.
Friendly reception and accommodation is in very good condition. Could do with dish sink and hot water at the bathroom sink. Unfortunately, Beaufort West currently has a water problem with the supply being cut off at night. Would highly recommend stay though.
Clean, tidy apartment with the necessary basic amenities. Hostess friendly and helpful, especially since my husband has special needs. Despite the water shortage, provisions were made for clean water and to flush the toilet. More wall plugs would be handy.
Rus-i-Biki immediately came to our minds when we were told that we were only due to arrive at one in the morning due to an unexpected crisis.
We had a warm welcome, very peaceful place to relax after a long day on the road. Can definitely recommend them.
When we arrived there after a long road being tired and sweaty we could not take a shower because of the drought. Although we understand that, Guesthouses must make provision for their guests to have hot water or let them know advance that there is no hot water.
We recommend the overnight stay because we felt safe and could rest wonderfully.
Had a lovely stay, will stay there again.
Warm welcoming and enjoyed the stay.
It is a little uncomfortable that there is no washing up place in the kitchen to wash the dishes. Furthermore, the unit meets all the needs.
Very neat. Hospitality!
Ideal for overnight with all necessary implements. Safe parking and good hostess.
Had a great stay at Rus-i-Biki. The reception was friendly and sincere, especially also about my two small dogs which had been arranged in advance. The unit is well equipped for overnight stays and even longer stays. I really felt very much at home. Thank you.
