    I wish there could've been a fridge in the room and a smart TV or media player to allow me to watch the things I watch. I struggled very much to navigate the tv

    I really enjoyed the breakfast and the food on a whole. The bar was great 👍

    The environment was good, clean and the staff was helpful. The only serious concern we had was water was not clean at all and drinking water provided in the room was not enough as their tap water was not drinkable.

    Not sure if the restaurant stuff is new or what but they not the friendliest bunch of people. One take our order the other brings our food, not even checked if we had the right crockery we had to even ask for simple things such as steak knifes, salts and pepper. A room next to us was maintained on Sunday morning we were woken up by the guys working in it which was not really considerate of us being there. The cleanliness in the dining room. The chairs are wood but they were all dusty at least those I saw.

    It's a beautiful place since it was not my first time at the hotel

    There was a kettle and rusks in the room, but no coffee or tea! The carpets are extremely dirty, and the furniture and decor are outdated. It belongs to the '60s. The place has a lot of potential, but it needs a serious makeover and upgrade. Everything looks tired.

    The location is excellent and the staff were very friendly. Breakfast was average. the same as everywhere.

    I didn't like the stained carpets in room 21. The bathroom probably needs refurbishment. At some point, the electricity plugs were dysfunctional in room 55 [the villa], and the TV was not working. Refurbishment could benefit the hotel.

    I loved the scenery and the beauty of Magoebaskloof. I enjoyed the misty weather. It was beautiful 😍 🤩 The bedding in room 55 [ the villa] was clean and perfect. Thank you for that. I also liked the body massage, The food was well prepared, thank you to the chef. I hope the hotel can introduce meat free dishes in the future.

    The location, hospitality, the biome and the climate and the scenic beauty.

    The bed was too old and not comfortable. I had to consult an orthopedic after my stay because I had a problem with my spine.

    There were no water the whole night I ddnt bath and when I contacted the emergency number that they provided no one answered the phone until I wrote a message to them that’s when they answered my call, they told me that they were having problems with the water pump it will be fixed after 30 minutes. And I called again after 1 hour they didn’t pickup, in the morning the water came out dirty so I ddnt bath . I will rate them minus 0

    Never gonna get to book at magoebaskloof hotel ever again!!

    The place looked good from the outside. My parent’s rooms keycard was not working, the water was dirty we thought maybe if we ran it for some few minutes it would be clean but it wasn’t, I don’t know if it was the pipes or not but it was all brown, we had to brush our teeth with bottled water because we couldn’t put that filthy water in our mouths. When my parents room was changed there was no water in the room and when I asked the stuff for some all she said to me was “you know your parents aren’t supposed to even be in that room and that’s why they had no water they should’ve taken the one in the room you booked for them”, I was like how on earth were we supposed to know that they won’t be getting it in their room and how were we supposed to get in the room I booked for them because the keycard was not working? I didn’t like the way she spoke to me. I’ll never book there
