Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Arrived to a wonderful heartfelt welcome. Room was beautiful, absolutely stunning views. Hosts gave us great recommendations on hikes to do in the area and restaurants. We only managed to have the cooked breakfast once during our stay due to early morning activities planned but we were welcomed to early breakfast of fruit, cereals and bread obviously with some coffee. The cooked breakfast was fabulous. Felt like home away from home we would have gladly stayed longer.

2X Dutch is a fantastic place to stay. Beautiful well-kept garden and terraces. Beautiful swimming pool. Neat and beautiful rooms and sanitary facilities. Extremely friendly and charming service. Delicious varied breakfast, personally delivered by the two sympathetic and concerned owners. Dishes served and seasoned with care. Accurate and great tips for restaurants and sights. Definitely a place to return or to stay forever 😉

Calm, restful, fantastic location with amazing gardens and spectacular views. Kate and Nathalie made us very welcome and were most helpful in recommending restaurants etc. Their breakfasts of fresh fruit and home cooking set you up for the day! We hope to return!

Beautiful location: rooms have a view on the lagoon. Nice garden and a small swimming pool. Perfectly well kept rooms and house. Very friendly staff. The hosts Nathalie and Kate, from the Netherlands, are very friendly and give a warm welcome. Good location for the wonderful trip to Robberg Nature Reserve.

We stayed at the B&B Double Dutch. The rooms open directly onto the lagoon and are very spacious and tidy. There are seats in the room but also on each terrace in front of the room. Breakfast is excellent, a buffet with wide choice. The 2 managers are extremely helpful and have recommended us good restaurants as well as the best places to visit. This B&B is absolutely recommended.

The stay at Double Dutch was so much more than a room. It was great atmosphere, fantastic hosts and high level of service. And the art on the walls (by one of the Dutchs) made the breakfast more than a meal. Don´t hesitate, book now and enjoy.

I can’t recommend Double Dutch enough. What a delight to stay here. The property is impeccably clean throughout. Nathalie & Kate are lovely hosts & nothing is too much bother. They recommend things to do & places to eat, taking care of absolutely everything. It’s easy to walk to restaurants in the evening (& a quick taxi back). So glad we chose this quest house.

Excellent bed & breakfast in a beautiful surrounding. Kate and Natalie are very nice hosts and have many advices to experience the area and good restaurants. The rooms are also beautiful and we did not miss anything. You will also find some contemporary african art on site.
