    One of the best hotels I have ever visited. There was really nothing to improve, the atmosphere, the service and all things around were nearly perfect.

    I have stayed at The Bloem for two nights with my parents and my sister and her husband. We had the most amazing stay there. I don’t even know where to start. Location: Knysna is a beautiful town on the water and The Bloem is located in a very pretty neighborhood called Paradise on the hill overlooking the lagoon, the Heads and has just stunning views of Knysna. Staff: Attentive is an understatement. The staff was without a doubt over the top. Just as we pulled up in our car Sylvia was there to greet us and Chris helped with parking instructions and luggage. Every wish was fulfilled before we could even express it. They were all so friendly and polite. We felt very welcome and well taken care of. Bianca made sure we had everything we needed and gave us some great tipps on what to explore in and around Knysna. Suites: Impeccable! The suites are spacious and very modern. The rooms were serviced twice a day and everything was very clean and neat. The rooms are stylish and each of the room has a different set up. I stayed in suite 5 and had a stunning view from my bed. This suite also had a second door straight to the front where we parked our car, as well as the patio door. I stayed in the suite by myself, so I didn’t care that there was a lack of privacy for the bathroom as there was no actual door, but a small frosted glass door that had plenty of open space to the floor and ceiling. I guess if two people stay in the suite it can get a bit awkward when using the bathroom to have someone hear everything. Other than that I can’t think of anything that wasn’t just perfect. I had a beautiful and comfortable sofa, large TV, sideboard with mini bar, closet with umbrella, safe, small desk mirror and blow dryer. There was a pretty make up table (or desk) as well. The bed was large and super comfortable. The patio was fully furnished and I had the option to have my breakfast there or in the common dining area. One thing I have noticed was that the staff left the windows open upon cleaning and my sister ended up having a large grasshopper in her room. Not the end of the world, especially since Sylvia took care of removing it from their room, but definitely something to keep in mind and perhaps just keeping windows closed when guests purposely closed them. Service: Outstanding! From bringing our luggage to our rooms (and bringing in an additional luggage rack), to sweet things like chocolate covered strawberries to welcome us, a sweet treat before bedtime or a rose before we left. It’s the little thoughtful things that mean the most. The cleanliness of my room was excellent. Everything was very clean. The staff was very helpful with dinner reservations, even offered a shuttle to dinner and helped us find the right place for what we were in the mood for. Breakfast should get its own bullet point as it was simply amazing. Since we all had different suites we chose to eat in the commons dining area, one time inside and the next day outside on the patio. The night before we filled out what we wished to have for breakfast and we were blown away by the beautifully put together breakfast we were served the next morning. I asked for something that wasn’t on the order slip and even that wish was no problem at all. Someone went out to get me my beloved avocado. The food was very tasty. We loved it. We also has the option to go over to the other hotel, Villa Afrikana, across the street for tea time each day. That was great, too. We had some mini cupcakes and other sweet treats. A large variety of tea was offered. When we checked out we were able to store our luggage until we left Knysna later in the day. We also noticed that someone cleaned our car. Wow! That was very nice. Overall this was everything we could have asked for and more. Would recommend this place to anyone planning on visiting Knysna. Thank your for such a great stay!
