The team of the stuff are friendly, kind & respectful. Your menu was a lit. The only challenge I experienced was WIFI. If you can work on upgrading your internet connection. When I was attending my virtual meeting in the room, the connection was not so good.

Arrived late from South Africa, check in was quick, room was well appointed and met all my needs.
Great stay, clean sheets and comfortable bed. Will return and make this place my home away from home stay.

This guest house is great for a single traveler, couple, or maybe a small family. The area is very safe and we walked up and down the streets without ever feeling threatened. Scenery is very near the Lesotho Air Base (we never saw 1 airplane in 2 weeks) and the national football (soccer) stadium. Not many of the local had any idea when games were being played, so the team must not be much of a draw.
The rooms are nice, if not a little small. They were always kept very clean and the building itself is in good repair. Rooms upstairs tend to have air conditioning, while most downstairs rooms have fans. This is an important point in the summer months when the weather can get very warm. Also, only some rooms had refrigerators, so if this is important make sure they know upon making your reservation.
Breakfast in the morning is generally good and the options while limited tasted fresh and homemade. There is a kitchen available for guest to use during other meals, or additional meals can be provided by the hotel for an additional cost. Wireless internet is complimentary which is unheard of in Lesotho. Keep in mind that not all rooms get the wireless signal, so the closer your room is to the front desk the better the chances of picking up the signal.
The big selling points for this guesthouse are price and staff. The price is better then almost anywhere else in Maseru. They also take credit cards, which is uncommon for most guest houses in Maseru. The staff is absolutely fantastic. We never met one person who was not willing to jump in and help with anything and everything. We were always greeted with a big smile and treated like a member of the family. Our son (18 month old) was also kept entertained by nearly every staff member, whether through dancing, walking, running, eating, smiling, etc..
My only complaint is that there is not much to do right around the property, so if you have young children come prepared with activities for them. It costs approx 30 rand for a taxi into the main part of the city.

When our car broke down the owner and staff at the Scenery Guesthouse were superb in every way. Even before the breakdown we found all friendly and helpful, contributing to the general enjoyment of our short holiday in Lesotho. We would not hesitate to recommend the hotel to family and friends.

At a cost of US $45 per night the guest house provides reasonable accommodation with a clean room and a shower. The breakfast (included in the price) is basic but there is the added advantage of free WiFi. The staff were friendly and helpful.

I had a great time staying at scenery during the month of june-july 2013 on different occations, great place to stray, stuff is the best very professional. They have the best knowledge on hospitality industry, language skills especially a lady by the name Lemohang, i would advise the owner to keep her for the longest she is very good indeed. overall everything is at its best, for me sometimes we seem to complain way too much forgetting that its a place to sleep and keep moving not our house. Just work on water system please because hot water runs out quick.

We have been visiting Maseru regularly since 2004, and decided to try another B&B/Guest House. Using Trip Advisor we thought we made a great choice. But we were disappointed: We arrived after hours with limited cash to discover the “pay-point” was not working (an issue in places like Lesotho) so we did not have a great start. More importantly, the bathroom and balcony lights did not work (thank you to the night watchman who tried to assist), the main and bathroom doors squeaked very loudly, there was no tea or coffee sachets (thank you to the night watchman who did assist), only one bedside lamp (images show one each side of the bed), no mini-bar (it was listed on the guest information as being available), no access to Wi-Fi (despite the information stating one just” linked in” – discovered next morning that one required log-in information), and essentially no choice for breakfast (we rate the offering as poor). We think the place would have been very noisy at night if lots of people had been staying.
The staff were all polite and tried to assist; thank you. The place was clean and comfortable and convenient.
“Magnetic Service” – it was not.
However, a later internet search uncovered details of a new, more up-market section called "Maqalika". We did not see that property! Perhaps some of the good reviews relate to the new place rather than where we stayed which is called “Sesoto Stadium”. If you intend booking, try to check out both.

Responded 8 Nov 2014
Thank you very much for your helpful review. Ever since joining the hospitality sector, I have noted that it is very similar to IT industry where they are continually releasing new and upgraded versions every now and then. One has to continually monitor customer needs and product relevance and then upgrade to a higher level. Your review is very much appreciated because it tells us to wake up to the fact that we need to release an upgraded version of Scenery. I took some time to respond since I had to revisit our current status and assess it against relevance to our customer demands. During the assessment I realized that we are making big and little mistakes which add up to big impact. We have now implemented some quality control measures that will minimize our mistakes. We are also in the process of reorganizing major things in order to move up our services and facilities such that we can keep up our promise of providing magnetic service.

The place met my expectations. It's easily accessible and felt like home. I'm happy with all the services except that there should be some improvement with regard to breakfast; it was served cold and there wasn't much to choose from. I suggest a menu from which guests should choose their desired breakfast.
