    So Mr Greg Bloom of Sleepy Gecko told us he wont offer us Rooms after we had deposited money into his account we tried to commemorate with him but he blocked our emails, he then hangs up our calls when we try to find a way to receive our refund from him it's been three weeks now and there is no form of payment/refund. We had submitted our proof of payment to him just to to claim our refund but still doesn't want to refund us. Mind due Greg only gave us 30minutes to pay into his account which we did in just 4 minutes. So I don't recommend him as a good business man and I think his taking advantage because of the colour of my skin. I'm emotional truamatised because of this whole situation. He had told us once we send him our proof of payment he will refund but he is not a man of his word. No refund till today.

    We stayed at the Sleepy Gecko for 8 nights and absolutely loved this place! Greg, the host, is fabulous; always ready to help us with anything we needed! Our room was big, clean with a beautiful bay window facing a gorgeous garden. I also loved the decoration of the place, I felt totally at home here! I will definitively try to stay here the next time I come to Johannesburg! Also the Sleeping Gecko is at walking distance to nice restaurants!

    As a service rendering company we are hecticly disappointed with discovering the dishonesty, disrespect of the owner of this guest house. He calls us for our services time to pay its one story after the after since 12 September 2020 to date with no prior arrangement. Please be on the look out for Greg's dishonesty! You wouldn't want to deal with such!
