Stay away from Linden Guest House

I booked a 1 night stay at Linden Guest house via Booking .com. The stay was pre-paid and no option for a refund was given if you cancel on the night of the stay. I did not think it was suspicious as that is regarded as normal practice. We arrived at the Linden Guest house on Saturday evening and it seemed suspect as there was not parking inside the premises and when we asked where we could park we were shown to the other side of the house where cars were parked in tandem so you would not be able to get out if someone parked behind you.

I became suspicious when the house did not look like the photo's on Bookings.com. It is a scam and I am sure they catch many people like this. It looked like a Nigerian drug lord village and 2 women were not safe there. Please be careful - do not book there. It is not safe. The rooms only have sliding doors and it is not safe to stay there. We lost the R500 that it cost for the night but our safety is much more important.
