Detailed Reviews
Located on a quiet road and fully secure this is a great location for exploring the area. Restaurants abound only a few minutes away as are the seafront and beaches. The accommodation is of top quality and the service is to match.

The service was excellent. Staff and owner made us fee very at home. Helpful in providing information on surrounding area. Venue was close to an abundance of restaurants and beach. Further more it was very easy to get on main roads.The bedrooms were extremely comfortable with all one would need. Plenty of recreational areas outside of bedrooms.It was a business trip but would also recommend for a family trip as well. Not suitable for very young children but perfect for others.

Very nice house, pleasant and agreeable. It is just unfortunate that the diner facility was not available. The room was comfortable and neat. The cleaning was done thoroughly. The amenities in the room were enough. The breakfast in the morning was good. The only thing is that the food should be covered, to avoid being visited by insects.

Response from Letizia Milani, Owner at Five Burnham Guesthouse
Responded 28 Feb 2020
Thank you so much for taking the time to send a review - we really do appreciate it! Unfortunately we are just a "Bed and Breakfast" and do not provide dinners at the guesthouse. Most of our guests are corporates and either eat out at the nearby restaurants or order takeaway. It would be great though, but it would push the price up enormously as we would have to employ another member of staff. There was a terrible outbreak after the extreme heat and rain we had for the last few weeks - we definitely should cover the food at breakfast - we thank you for that suggestion. Many thanks again for staying with us!

The staff at Five Burnham, went out of their way to ensure that we had a comfortable, hassle free stay with them during a very difficult COVID 19 period. They really went the extra mile for us. Wonderful facility.

Quick visit to Durban and delighted to stay at the stylish and welcoming Burnham Guesthouse. Staff are charming and polite, the pool bright blue and sparkling. Delicious vegan breakfast provided for me, I had to eat all the avocado that had been organized specially for me! Peaceful at night, two minutes from the La Lucia mall, such a great location. Always a pleasure to stay over!

We were so disappointed ! The room we were allocated was filthy and had a very tatty unloved feel about it. It was not the room that we had booked which wouldn't have mattered if the standard was the same .We left and as it was late Dec were unable to find alternative accommodation so flew home early end of holiday ruined. I was contacted by the management and they offered to clean the room but trust me it was beyond just a quick clean ! (wish I could upload the photos as they say it all)

Two of us stayed at this hotel for 16 nights on business (a suite and a double room). After work, we were able to relax and unwind in the hotel. The breakfast was also very good. Above all, the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a very pleasant stay and we would be happy to stay here again.
