Great hotel with beautiful views but service not great

Reviewed By M Theresho C

The hotel is perfectly located by the Vaal river with beautiful views. Facilities great, room comfortable and clean. Food was mostly good. Dinner had a bit of a waiting to get into the dining area as it was full , there was a long wait for food as well. The service from staff wasnt great from the moment we checked in. They insisted on putting my cheque card details on the system depsite having prepaid for my stay. The reception phone took long to be answered whenever we needed assistance. I called for maintenance on the first night because our bathroom and all towels became wet after a shower due to the extractor fan not working , I had to call more than once because nobody showed up some time after the first call. Eventually it was sorted but this was disruptive as we stayed up waiting for maintenance to come fix the fan. After breakfast on the first morning we got to the room to towels and pillowcases missing , housekeeping came in while we were having breakfast and did half the job. On the morning of checkout housekeeping came to clean before we even had breakfast, they opened the door before I could get to it when they knocked. I forgot my bikini top in the room when we left, called the hotel days later only to be told it wasn't handed into the lost items which suggests someone helped themselves to it. The hotel is really great , the service was disappointing though. It appeared to be quite full (assuming fully occupied) so maybe they were overwhelmed.

Aark Guest Lodge

My regular in Van Der Bijl Park

Reviewed By D907ZOmarkm

I always stay here when in Van Der Bijl Park. I enjoyed my stay. Spacious and comfortable. Comfortable bed. Decent water pressure. Little bit tricky to navigate to since they have closed off some of the roads...they should invest in more signage.

Disappointed

Reviewed By Elizabeth I

First of all, the place is lovely. Situated in a beautiful, quiet residential area with tall shade trees. The rooms are clean and decorated nicely. There is no aircon and the ceiling fan works only when the light is on - not great for sleeping. There is no breakfast - although the website said it was included. The WiFi is useless. We can get texts, but no emails or video calls. Won’t use this place again.

We were promised an adventurous experience however the hotel is not elderly friendly

Reviewed By sgama217349

Took my elderly mom along and we were booked an upstairs room and the hotel does not have an elevator, our room change request was simply ignored, our room's air-con was faulty a heater was brought up, without an effort to check the fault. Place might be great for the kids but not for the elderly, mediocre food and disappointing overall experience.

Its aready green behind your parking. .... Let mw know when u want to sell
