Abbiamo soggiornato due notti in questa casa e siamo stati accolti in modo eccellente: la stanza era grande, pulita, dotata di ogni comfort, balconcino, doccia e vasca, coperte a volontà, armadio grande, poltrona, etc. La macchina è accuratamente custodita in garage. Tutta la casa è impeccabile. Paulina si è occupata di noi come una mamma: ci ha organizzato un tour di Soweto, preparato due colazioni e due cene eccezionali, un vero esempio di ottima cucina locale, varia, saporita, abbondantissima e il tutto a prezzi del tutto economici. Torneremmo mille volte!

We have stayed at Mama lolo's guest house for our last night in South Africa and it was the best. Lolo, Paulinah and all the family are very kind. We loved lolo's smile ! They can go to find you if you are loose in Soweto because it's a very big city. The room are very clean and confortable. If you want to eat the night, Lolo is the best cooker in the world ! If you want to make a tour of Soweto, no problem the guest house has a guide. It was a very beautiful place without noise and not dangerous. We love our stay ! Thank you again for your hospitality !

It was an excellent choice to stay at Lolo's Guesthouse. Mama Lolo and the whole family looked after us from the minute we arrived - nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms were clean, the food good, but more important, the welcome we got was fantastic; we also learnt a lot about Soweto and South Africa in general. Staying at Lolo's added much to our amazing Soweto experience and we will certainly try to stay there again on our next visit ...
