Rustig.

Baie lekker! Volgens die advertensie kon ons tot 22:00 inboek. Almal was al in die bed toe ons om 21:30 arriveer. In die kamer was daar 'n kennisgewing dat die laatste 19:00 is om te arriveer. Dit was vir ons 'n groot verleentheid.

Restful.

Very nice! According to the advertisement we could check in until 22:00. Everyone was already in bed when we arrived at 21:30. In the room there was a notice that the latest time to arrive was 19:00. This was a big embarrassment for us.

Hi Deidré, baie dankie. Asseblief in die eenhede spesifiseer ons tye tot 20:00, maar met die paaie verstaan ons heeltemal en probeer akkommodeer so ver ons kan. Het al ingeboek tot en met 1:00 die oggend daaroor. Dit was glad nie 'n verleentheid nie; ons is almal mense. Baie dankie vir jou. Julle is altyd en enige tyd welkom. Groete

Gelieflik en bekostigbaar.

Ideaal vir oornag as jy oor grens moet gaan.

Naby grenspos dus 'n pluspunt.

Gerieflik by die grenspos na Swaziland toe.

Onveilige gevoel, en nie op standaard verblyf.

Ongelukkig nie, plek was nie in 'n lekker ligging nie, bietjie onveilig gevoel met die aankoms. Plek was darem skoon, maar beddens ongemaklik, springs hoor en voel jy, nie goeie nagrus gehad nie. Ook koud gekry. Dun duvets oor bed, niks ekstra komberse gehad nie. Ligte en TV het nie gewerk nie.

Unsafe feeling, and not up to standard accommodation.

Unfortunately not, place was not in a nice location, felt a bit unsafe upon arrival. Place was clean, but beds uncomfortable, you hear and feel springs, didn't have a good night's sleep. Also got cold. Thin duvets over bed, no extra blankets. Lights and TV didn't work.

Dit was rustig, dankie.

Die verblyf was goed gewees. Die eenheid het 'n bietjie instandhouding nodig. Paar goedjies het nie gewerk nie.

It was peaceful, thank you.

The stay was good. The unit needs some maintenance. A few things didn't work.

Pioneers Lodge 's response

Goeie Dag Marina, Ons sien vir die location is daar n 2 gegee. Ons wil net graag bevestig of u bewus was dat ons in die midde dorp gelee is voor bespreking.
Ons verneem ook dat u `n 2 vir veiligheid gegee het. Daar is elekriese omheining, alarm stelsel, kameras en veiligheidswag voor. Daar is battery ligte in die eenhede vir lig asook in die bed lampies ligte. Ons vra hartlik om verskoning oor die water indien dit nie n dorps probleem was nie en sal ons definitief aandag bied hieraan. U het my nie in kennis gestel van enige probleme nie so kon ek niks daaraan doen nie. Groete

Pioneers Lodge 's response

Goeie dag, graag vra ek aan vir die foto's en bewyse waar daar vuil is, asb., sodat ek dit met die opsigter kan uitklaar. As daar probleme is, moet dit deurgegee word dat dit reggestel kan word. Daar was geen klagtes van julle af nie. Al die foto's op die internet is 100% korrek gelaai. As daar nie aan ons iets bekend gemaak word op die perseel waar daar 24 uur 'n opsigter en wakis is nie, kan ons dit nie regstel nie. Groete

Great destination for peace and the Kruger Park.

As well as for tiger fishing at the Komati River. Good midway point for travellers from Johannesburg to Mozambique.

Baie kulle ontvangs en afsien. Dis nie hoe ek gewoond is 'n gastehuis kliënte behandel nie.

Ek het self by 'n gastehuis gewerk en jou ontvangs van jou gaste en afsien van jou gaste is uiters belangrik. Die het nie gebeur by 80 at Rissik. Miskien mis ek iets iewers maar dit was nie vir my 'n lekker ervaring nie. Daar was aan my bevestig met oorhandiging van sleutel vir inteken dat ons 3 mense is. Daar was ergter net twee koffiepoeiers en twee suikers - geen tee. Ek sou verwag dat daar ten minste 2 van elk vir elke gas sal wees.

Many false receptions and waivers. That's not how I'm used to treating guest house customers.

I myself have worked at a guest house and your reception of your guests and farewell of your guests is extremely important. That didn't happen at 80 at Rissik. Maybe I'm missing something somewhere but it wasn't a nice experience for me. It was confirmed to me when handing over key for registration that we are 3 people. Worse, there were only two coffee powders and two sugars - no tea. I would expect there to be at least 2 of each for each guest.
