This place was a real dissapointment. Flithy rooms, cockroaches, incredibly difficult WiFi, extremely hot and uncomfortable rooms but worst of all, an unapologetic landlord and host. When confonted with the critters in the room, the excuse given was that it was "totaly natural" being close to nature. A thoroughly miserabler place. Don't even think about it! And if you don't...

If you have heart condition or a physical disability do not book here. There are 30 steps just to the reception and they are fairly steep. There are some rooms on this level, then another 16 steps to the next level and a further 16 steps to the top level of rooms. The se ond and third steps are outside.I... More

The week before, I travelled with a group of friends to Capetown. When we arrived at the "villa" around 8pm, we found the main door locked. No one picked our multiple calls at the reception or the 24hr no. We were stranded outside for 2-3hrs. Finally the hostess arrived and was not at all apologetic. Anyway we were shown our... More

To add to the many bad reviews already posted here, i would advise everyone to stay away from this place and its owner. There are too many beautiful guesthouses in camps bay for one to ruin their holiday and stay here. yes the views are lovely but the house itself is disgusting!!! i had booked here somewhere in early 2012,...

After reading the reviews I was hesitant to stay at Villa Simona, however, my stay there was absolutely lovely. Upon arrival after a very long flight I was assisted with my bags and was shown to two beautiful rooms and I chose to stay in the room on the front of the property with views of the Ocean. The elephant... More

I can only really add to the many reviews already posted on here, which much to our annoyance we only checked after we booked. We held out hope that perhaps it couldn't be as bad as the experiences on here suggested. We booked after finding Villa Simona on another website, where it was (self) rated as four stars.

We had a terrible experience, and i would urge people to avoid this place.  You should expect hostel-type conditions if you are staying in the back room that "sleeps 3" and has a small kitchen. The towels are ratty, and you will have no help carrying your bags all the way up to the room-- the equivalent of foir flights... More

If you want to enjoy your stay in Camps Bay, do not stay here! The only decent thing about this place is the view and maybe the pool. The rooms are absolutely disgusting, filthy and so terribly run down it was revolting. I cannot find anything nice to say about this place, such an extreme disappointment.
