Vrystaatse verrassing.

Ons is aangenaam verras met ons verblyf by Aldam. Baie vriendelike ontvangs. Skoon en netjiese rondawel met die mooiste uitsig oor die dam. Die restaurant en sy personeel was baie vriendelik en hulle diens was puik! Die karavaanpark se netheid het ons beïndruk en is 'n kamper se droom. Ons sal beslis weer by Aldam gaan kuier.

Free State surprise.

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at Aldam. Very friendly reception. Clean and tidy rondavel with the most beautiful view over the dam. The restaurant and its staff were very friendly and their service was great! The caravan park's cleanliness impressed us and is a camper's dream. We will definitely visit Aldam again.

Dit was so lekker - was jammer om volgende oggend weer te ry.

Daar was 'n krag- en waterprobleem, maar ek was van vroeg af bewus gemaak daarvan. Ontvangs - goed. Daar was 65l water buite en binne die eenheid. Bestuur het navraag kom doen oor die laai van selfone en het 'n draagbare lig gebring vir gebruik. Al was ons die enigste gaste, kon ons aandete kry by die restaurant. Puik diens!

It was so much fun - was sorry to drive again next morning.

There was a power and water problem, but I was made aware of it early on. Reception - good. There was 65l of water outside and inside the unit. Management came to inquire about cell phone charging and brought a portable light for use. Even though we were the only guests, we were able to get dinner at the restaurant. Great service!

It was good.

Wasn’t too clear info and photos of the room and where it is. There were better houses allocated with a beautiful view. Anyway, the place was big, two rooms but very old. My husband really enjoyed the place, brought him a lot of memories from his childhood. I thought that the place needs a new bathroom and modern WiFi.

Gemaklik, skoon en netjies.

Dit is net jammer dat Aldam nie meer opgeknap kan word nie. Alles is skoon en netjies, maar daar is baie onderhoudswerk nodig - soos om die inligtingsborde oor te verf, tennisbane ens. Handdoeke en linne van beddens is oud en rafel uit. Die uitsig is pragtig oor die dam, die winkeltjie is goed en die chalets is skoon en netjies. Dit is lieflik vir 'n kort wegbreek.

Comfortable, clean and tidy.

It's just a shame that Aldam can't be renovated more. Everything is clean and tidy, but a lot of maintenance work is needed - such as repainting the information boards, tennis courts etc. Towels and bed linen are old and frayed. The view is beautiful over the dam, the shop is good and the chalets are clean and tidy. It's lovely for a short break.

Nie oor die 30 tot 1ste nie. Jong klomp suip soos visse, matrieks en eerstejaars het tussen hulle gesit as 'n gesin met twee kinders. Dit was mal gewees, geen respek en jy vrees vir jou kinders se lewe met die klomp wat so suip en rondjaag in die kamp area.

"Old School" Verblyf.

Ontvangs en klientediens was uitstekend. Die twee-slaap "luukse" eenheid het egter aandag nodig gehad. Dit kon moontlik 'n aansienlike klompie jare gelede as luuks beskryf kon word, aangesien daar duidelike tekens van gebrek aan onderhoud is - kraankoppe wat loskom en modderige water wat aanvanklik by die krane uitgekom het. Die algemene indruk van die oord is dat dit kan doen met basiese onderhoud. Die beddens was gemaklik en basiese geriewe was voldoende. 'n Bonus van die betrokke eenheid (#20) was die uitsig oor die dam en dit was binne loopafstand van die restaurant. Die winkel op die perseel voorsien aan basiese benodigdhede. Die oord is ideaal vir verblyf wanneer 'n besoek aan die Willem Pretorius reservaat oorweeg word. Die tarief vir die spesifieke eenheid is egter nie in lyn met ander meer luukse selfsorg-opsies in dieselfde kategorie nie.

"Old School" Accommodation.

Reception and customer service were excellent. However, the two-bedroom "luxury" unit needed attention. It might have been described as luxury quite a few years ago, as there are clear signs of lack of maintenance - tap heads coming loose and muddy water initially coming out of the taps. The general impression of the resort is that it could do with basic maintenance. The beds were comfortable and basic amenities were adequate. A bonus of the unit in question (#20) was the view over the dam and it was within walking distance of the restaurant. The on-site shop provides basic necessities. The resort is ideal for accommodation when considering a visit to the Willem Pretorius reserve. However, the rate for the specific unit is not in line with other more luxurious self-catering options in the same category.

Had a great time.

Staff very friendly. Accommodation clean and tidy. I just find the security insensitive. It was difficult for me to sleep at night because there were no burglar bars in front of the windows. It's hot and I couldn't leave the windows open at night. Food at the restaurant is great. . No complaints. Can really recommend.

Baie lekker en ontspanne saam met familie gekuier.

Ons was baie teleurgesteld in die algemene aansig en onderhoud van die eenheid waarin ons tuisgegaan het. Alles was daar net kwaai verouderd. Die badkamers sal definitief opgegradeer moet word en die meublement vervang moet word. Die kombuis was verbasend goed toegerus. Ons het heerlik gebly maar dit was nie op dieselfde standaard as waaraan ons by hulle gewoond was in die verlede nie. Die Putt-Putt baan het werklik hersiening nodig en die rooimiere het ons ook gebyt terwyl ons gespeel het.

Very nice and relaxing time with family.

We were very disappointed in the general appearance and maintenance of the unit we stayed in. Everything there was just terribly outdated. The bathrooms will definitely need to be upgraded and the furniture replaced. The kitchen was surprisingly well equipped. We had a lovely stay but it was not up to the same standard as we were used to with them in the past. The Putt-Putt course really needs revision and the red ants also bit us while we were playing.

Aangenaam, maar oord kort aandag.

Ons verblyf tydens Paasnaweek was gemaklik, maar ons standaardakkommodasie kort aandag. Die eenheid was skoon, maar outyds soos op foto's. Yskas was oud en het nie ordentlik geseël nie, mikrogolf gevlek. Die water was bruin. Hoewel die geboue op die oord opknapping nodig het was die gronde skoon en relatief goed versorg. Die restaurant en winkeltjie het goeie diens gelewer. Ons was gemaklik, maar vir die prys, voel ek nie was die verblyf op standaard nie.

Pleasant, but resort needs attention.

Our stay over the Easter weekend was comfortable, but our standard accommodation needs attention. The unit was clean, but old fashioned as in photos. Fridge was old and didn't seal properly, microwave stained. The water was brown. Although the buildings on the resort needed renovation, the grounds were clean and relatively well cared for. The restaurant and small shop provided good service. We were comfortable, but for the price, I don't feel the accommodation was up to standard.

Rubbish.

How can this place call itself a resort when everything, and I mean everything, shuts at four in the afternoon? Our so-called luxury chalet probably was luxurious in the 1950s. Felt sorry for the catering staff. They were great, when they were open, and should be working somewhere better. The woman in reception needs to go on a course.

Will think twice before going back again. The resort needs serious maintenance.

We stayed in the Directors House which is a wonderful property. However, we stayed in the house most of the time. The resort's facilities are in very poor condition. The shop also doesn't even have fresh milk or ice cream as advertised. The swimming pool is not attractive at all - looks like old water.

Aldam Holiday Resort and Conference 's response

Thank you for your comments, we always apricate any feedback. Like the rest of the country, we have struggled with the effects of load shedding. This means our pool does not have sufficient time to circulate the 1.2 million liters of water. We have corrected the pool and we will look at alternative options to overcome this problem.
I will investigate and correct your other concerns to ensure the guest satisfaction we strive for.
Kind Regards
Aldam Management.

The communication is very poor. Even though I booked through a travel agency, which is a 3rd party, they could've gave us the dos and don'ts and terms and conditions.

When we arrived with another person who is our colleague, he was told to leave within 30 minutes because day visitors are not allowed. Why were we not informed of this when inquiries were made? The receptionist with her colleague was very rude.

Dit blyk dat die nodige onderhoud en instandhouding tekortkom. Geen kombuislappies of afdroogdoeke was voorsien nie. Die beddegoed en handdoeke het nie skoon geruik nie. Ons sal eerder dit 'n mis gee volgende keer.
