Choosing the right accommodation is something that can make or break your stay. The overall quality of the accommodation you select matters, which is determined by various factors, from the facilities or amenities they offer to guest satisfaction.
Here are some Mistakes to Avoid When Selecting Accommodations:
Ignoring Reviews & Ratings
Do not ignore reviews and ratings you see online, since these ratings are a reflection of real-time experiences guests had at this establishment. TshiBerry Bed & Breakfast is officially rated as a 5-star accommodation by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa (TGCSA). The TGCSA is the sole government-imposed, industry-funded quality assurance agency in South Africa.
They rate establishments that apply to be rated and award star ratings according to the nature of the accommodation being provided. So, do yourself a favour, and read through the reviews and check their ratings on the various platforms where they are listed.
Overlooking the Location
No matter how inviting or beautiful the accommodation may appear online, it can still be an inconvenient experience if the accommodation is poorly located. TshiBerry Bed and Breakfast is located in Rustenburg, known as the “Town of Rest,” not only one of South Africa’s oldest towns but also a vibrant hub for tourism. With its stunning views of the Magaliesberg Mountains, rich cultural history, and proximity to major attractions, Rustenburg offers something for everyone.
Not Checking Facilities Included
To avoid a disappointing stay, be sure you check what is offered or included with your stay, such as a complimentary breakfast, internet access, or safe parking, all add up and affect the value of the accommodation.
A lower-star rated place might seem like a more affordable alternative, but extras add up! TshiBerry redefines luxury with spacious rooms, modern amenities, and exceptional service.
Each room is designed to meet the highest standards of comfort, featuring:
- Plush bedding and contemporary furnishings.

- On-site Spa Facilities at BonBerry Royal Spa.
Falling for Glamorous Photos Without Research
Photos can be misleading, which can give you a false impression of what your stay might be like. It’s important to look for updated photos or even look for recent photos taken by guests who stayed at the accommodation. This can be found online when you refer to the reviews or on social media channels.

Skipping Terms and Cancellation Policies
Make sure, before you book your accommodation, to review their terms and cancellation policies to be sure you protect your travel plans by reading the fine print.
Assuming All 5-Star Places Are The Same
Not all 5-star ratings are created equally. Star ratings can’t always measure atmosphere, warmth, or personalised service – things that make certain stays truly memorable. To find out more about how 5-star ratings are determined, click here!
