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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Marelie made us feel not only like family, but royal family! We spent a glorious long weekend at 29 Columba, and EVERYTHING was one great pleasure, from the accommodation to the company! The room was sparkling clean, hygienic and comfortable, and we are sure, the quietest in die guest house, as requested! We did not have time for breakfast, but we are envious of a group of Austrian tourists who enjoyed a heavenly spread of everything that they could wish for! We wil definitely return in future!

Our stay was wonderful. Having travelled a long way from Durban this was wonderful to arrive at. The views are pretty and in a quaint area. The Rooms are clean, airy and spacious, with beautiful verandahs. Nice for families and business owners. Marelie really went out of her way to assist us in any way and we love her beautiful animals. Thanks Cindy DBN We will be back soon, we promise Miss our home away from home xx
