Platelandse gasvryheid.

Baie goeie diens ontvang. Ons het laat arriveer. Die hotel het ons vooruit geskakel, sodat hulle ons kamer betyds kon warmmaak voor ons aankoms. Ons moes ongelukkig die volgende oggend weer baie vroeg vertrek. Dis jammer ons kon nie die hotel en platelandse gasvryheid meer ervaar nie.

Plateland hospitality.

Received very good service. We arrived late. The hotel called us ahead of time so they could heat our room in time for our arrival. Unfortunately we had to leave very early the next morning. It's a shame we couldn't experience the hotel and Plateland hospitality more.

Lovely big room with more than the requested number of beds inside. Air conditioning. I loved that the restaurant was on the premises. Clean linen. Coffee and tea facilities. No minibar. WiFi. My only criticism is the door locks, as they can still be pushed open from the outside. There are no doors in the bathroom area.

Goeie plek om te oornag en eet vir een nag.

Ons het lekker by Calvinia Hotel gebly. Die kamer het alles gehad wat mens nodig het om te oornag. Ons spesifieke kamer het wel na rook geruik. Ons verstaan egter dit is moeilik om gaste te keer om in die kamers te rook.

Netjies, vriendelik, onrustig.

Die werkers wat daar werk, is baie vriendelik en hulle loop die ekstra mile vir hul kliente om na hulle om te sien. Al wat glad nie lekker was nie, is die rede hoekom mens daarso boek is op die pad Kaap toe en om te rus voordat mens die pad verder aanpak, maar daar was glad nie rus voorsien nie, rede daarvoor is die musiek was reeds al 10h gestop, maar die buite kliente het verder gekuier en geskree sodat mens alles kon hoor tot by die kamers, en met elke gille van die kuiers wakker skrik, en dit het aangegaan tot met 3h die volgende oggend. As die hotel 'n funksie wil hou, liewer die kamers net uitboek vir die party mense en of nie private parties hou terwyl die kamers uitverhuur word nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Neat, friendly, restless.

The workers who work there are very friendly and they go the extra mile for their clients to look after them. All that was not nice at all is the reason why you are booked there on the way to Cape and to rest before you continue on the road, but there was no rest provided at all, the reason for that is the music was already 10h stopped, but the outside customers continued to hang out and shout so that you could hear everything all the way to the rooms, and wake up with every scream from the visitors, and it continued until 3am the next morning. If the hotel wants to hold a function, it is better to only book out the rooms for the party of people and not hold private parties while the rooms are rented out.

Room was good, everything needed is available, Coffee, milk etc.

Communication between staff about activities taking place in the Hotel was a problem. We checked in on Friday, were well received and everything was fine. Friday night's meal was good and both days' breakfasts were good. Saturday afternoon and evening we were not allowed to eat in the restaurant dining room because there was a function that no one told us about. The alternative offered was either the bar or our room, nowhere was there anything prepared for the alternative. When asked, the reception was not aware of the arrangements and we went to eat at another restaurant. That performance gave a sour taste to our entire stay over the weekend.

Teleurstellend, raserig, maar ontbyt was lekker.

Die hotelkamer was baie ruim, maar die vloere was vuil en die stortwater was koud. Ons kamer was reg bo die kroeg en oorverdowende musiek het tot in die oggendure gespeel, tot ons gaan kla het. Teleurstellend dat kroegkliente se behoeftes bo gaste gestel word, veral omdat dit net 'n oornagstop was waar ons wou rus. Die ontbyt wat ingesluit was, was baie lekker.

Disappointing, noisy, but breakfast was nice.

The hotel room was very spacious, but the floors were dirty and the shower water was cold. Our room was right above the pub and deafening music played until the wee hours of the morning, until we complained. Disappointing that bar patrons' needs are put before guests, especially as it was just an overnight stop where we wanted to rest. The breakfast that was included was very nice.

Hotel is onder reperasie en dit is nie gedeel tydens bespreking nie, want dit sou definitief ons besluit beïnvloed het.

Soos hierbo genoem, ons het eers tydens kamer wys proses verneem die hotel is onder reperasie. So ons is in nuut herstelde kamer in, maar die kamer is nie getoets of als werk of iets kort nie. Byvoorbeeld, die stort spuit net so hard boontoe as ondertoe, daar is nie houers in stort om seep of iets dergliks in te plaas nie, die wasbak het nie 'n spieël nie, die toilet lek so hard dat mens wakker word daarvan. 4 uur die oggend het mense in kamers langsaan gearriveer, en baie geraas (harde klop aan deure met 'n geroep na iemand binne, ens). Vir ons glad nie goeie ervaring en wou volgende oggend net wegkom.

Hotel is under repair and this was not shared during booking as it would definitely have influenced our decision.

As mentioned above, we only learned during the room showing process that the hotel is under repair. So we are in a newly renovated room, but the room has not been tested if it works or if something is missing. For example, the shower sprays as hard upwards as downwards, there are no containers in the shower to put soap or something like that, the sink doesn't have a mirror, the toilet leaks so hard that you wake up. 4 o'clock in the morning people arrived in rooms next door, and a lot of noise (loud knocking on doors with a shout for someone inside, etc.). Not a good experience at all for us and just wanted to get away next morning.

Nie waaarde vir geld, nie aan te beveel.

Vriendelike ontvangs maar swak of glad nie ingelig oor WiFi. Stortkoppe en stort en wasbak dreinering swak en verstop - nie skoongemaak in lang tyd. Parkering se hekke was nooit toegemaak deur die nag nie en jy voel jou motor is onveilig. Ligging nie ideaal met geweldig baie verkeer geraas. Etes onder gemiddeld en swak diens.

Gerieflike kamers en lekker geslaap.

Lyk nie na veel as jy voor in die straat stop nie, maar as jy binne is verander jou eerste mening oor die hotel heeltemal. Lekker mense. Carrol, het met ontbyt, interessante stories oor die area vertel.

Disappointing stopover.

There was construction taking place around and in the hotel and the place was dusty and unappealing. The carpet in the room was worn out and dirty. The experience was so unpleasant we only stayed one night even though we had booked and paid for two nights.

Het opknapping nodig.

Die hotel is oud en kan doen met opgradering. Die kamer was donker en baie basies en het opgradering en opknapping nodig. Net 'n bad, geen stort nie. Geen lampskerm om die gloeilamp in die badkamer nie. Ou matte.

Jammer om te sê dat ek nie stortwater gehad het die aand nie, en my man 'n baie klein bietjie koue water die volgende oggend.

Die hotel is in 'n besige deel van die dorp en dit raak nie juis stil dat mens lekker kan rus nie. TV het ook nie lekker gewerk nie.

Calvinia Hotel kort dringend 'n opgradering.

Die personeel was nie baie behulpsame nie, die kamers was nie baie skoon nie, is verouderd en die hele plek kort 'n opgradering. Ons lugversorger het in die kamer in gelek en nadat ek die personeel ingelig het, het niemand eers moeite gedoen om te kom kyk nie. Ek verstaan met die watertekort dat die swembad nie nou in gebruik is nie, maar haal dit dan af van die advertensie.

Calvinia Hotel urgently needs an upgrade.

The staff were not very helpful, the rooms were not very clean, are outdated and the whole place needs an upgrade. Our air conditioner leaked into the room and after I informed the staff, no one even bothered to come check. I understand with the water shortage that the pool is not in use right now, but take that away from the ad.

Wat jy bespreek is definitief nie wat jy kry nie.

Hulle beweer hulle het 'n swembad. Dis al meer as 4 jaar leeg. Die familiekamer het geen WiFi-opvangs. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en probeer hard. Die eienaars verkoop een ding, maar wat jy dink jy bespreek is definitief nie wat jy kry nie. Baie swak. Ons het baie begrip vir die droogte, maar die groep moet nie iets adverteer wat nie bestaan nie en dan 'n premium daarvoor vra nie. Die hotel is baie swak in vergelyking met die res van die hotelle in dieselfde groep waarin ons gebly het. Hulle het ook glad nie gereageer om my e-posse nie. Baie teleurstellend.

What you book is definitely not what you get.

They claim they have a pool. It's been empty for more than 4 years. The family room has no WiFi reception. The staff are very friendly and try hard. The owners sell one thing, but what you think you are booking is definitely not what you get. Very weak. We are very understanding of the drought, but the group should not advertise something that does not exist and then charge a premium for it. The hotel is very poor compared to the rest of the hotels in the same group in which we stayed. They also did not respond to my emails at all. Very disappointing.

Ons sal nie die hotel aanbeveel nie.

Verblyf was teleurstellend gewees, ons is vriendelik ontvang deur die ontvangsdame maar het genoem dat ons baie vroeg gaan ry die volgende oggend en iemand sal vir ons moet oopsluit. Ons is verseker ons kan die spesifieke nommer skakel en die persoon sal vir ons kom oopmaak omrede ons 4:00 in die pad wou val. Nodeloos om te sê het niemand die foon geantwoord nie en kon ons eers baie later wegkom. Die verblyf is nie die geld werd nie.

We would not recommend the hotel.

Stay was disappointing, we were kindly received by the receptionist but mentioned that we were leaving very early the next morning and someone would have to unlock for us. We are assured we can call the specific number and the person will come and open for us because we wanted to get in the way at 4:00. Needless to say, no one answered the phone and we couldn't get away until much later. The accommodation is not worth the money.

Oud, bietjie verwaarloos met lekker ontbyt en beperkte aandete.

Die badkamer se dak is vreeslik vol damp en gee mens 'n vuil gevoel. Die deur is oud, vuil en lyk baie sleg teenoor die mooi nuwe teëls. Stort in die bad is vreeslik klein. Beddegoed was mooi skoon. Ontbyt was lekker, maar beperk - jy kan nie kies wat jy wil eet nie, jy kry net bord met kos.

Gerieflik, behulpsaam, vriendelik.

Die Calvinia Hotel is die ideale plek om oor te slaap op pad Weskus toe! Die kamers is ruim en baie gerieflik. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam! Ontbyt was baie lekker! Sal beslis weer daar bly.

Okay for just 1 night.

The place is very old and needs some renovation, but don't know if there is anything better in Calvinia. Will try other town instead next time. Food was nice and staff friendly, but I don't like old places like that.

Was in 'n kamer ver weg van die Hotel ingeboek en ek moes in 'n kamer in die Hotel gebly het.

Het my toe by die Hotel laat inboek, maar weereens in 'n groot kamer aan die buitekant. Hulle moet aan die kliënte sê dat die kamers in die Hotel volgeboek is en dat hul kamers buite die Hotel het, as daar nie plek is nie. Dit sal baie verwarring bespaar.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Was checked into a room far away from the Hotel and I should have stayed in a room in the Hotel.

Then had me checked into the Hotel, but again in a large room on the outside. They should tell the customers that the rooms in the Hotel are fully booked and that they have rooms outside the Hotel, if there is no room. This will save a lot of confusion.

Ons was baie teleurgestel.

Eerstens het ons in woonstelle agter die hotel gebly. Ons kamer het soos 'n kantoor gelyk wat hulle probeer omskep het. Daar was geen sekuriteit vir ons voertuie nie en enige iemand kon die rolhekke oopmaak. Die pragtige swembad wat op die webtuiste sou baie welcoming gewees het na ons 4 uur se ry van Augrabies af, maar dit was dolleeg.

This review is being shown in its original language.

We were very disappointed.

First, we stayed in apartments behind the hotel. Our room looked like an office they were trying to convert. There was no security for our vehicles and anyone could open the roller gates. The beautiful swimming pool on the website would have been very welcoming after our 4 hour drive from Augrabies, but it was completely empty.

Beste Fay,

Ons familiekamers is buite agter vir gemakdoeleindes sodat families naby aan kamer kan parkeer en hulle nie so ver hoef te loop met bagasie nie.
Die Hotel se rolhek word toegesluit snags en soggens weer oopgesluit.
Ons is tans 'n droogtegeteisterde area en is onder baie streng waterbeperkings. Selfs ons Munisipale swembad had geen water in nie.

Groete tot 'n volgende keer.

Swak diens en baie vuil plek.

Die kamers is vuil (vol stof en mure en dak gevlek). Die kamers is glad nie soos op hulle foto's nie. Die kamers is ook reg langs die biertuin met gevolg dat daar tot laat nag 'n hengse geraas is. Ek sal die plek nooit aanbeveel aan enige reisiger nie.

It did not meet our expectation at all.

The shower was dirty (shower head leaking, cobwebs, floor wet all the time). No information booklet with emergency numbers. No phone in room. Bath faucet leaks and shows dirt. General condition of the building very poor. Never see us again. Suggest you take the hotel off your list. Fridge initially missing, had to ask for one. Only one plastic glass in room.

Nie baie beïndruk nie.

Ons het net 'n oornagplek gesoek op pad terug huis toe. Ons het 'n welkome ontvangs gehad, dis net of die ontvangsmense jou nie vertrou nie. Voordat die plek aan jou gewys word, word jou rekening onder jou neus gedruk. Daar is seker niks fout daarmee nie, maar as dit ek was sou ek eers die kliënt op sy gemak laat voel het en dan die rekening laat betaal. Daar was niks fout in die kamer nie, maar daar was kos op die spyskaart wat nie beskikbaar was nie, en, glo dit, hulle het nie roomys gehad nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Not very impressed.

We were just looking for a place to stay the night on our way back home. We had a welcome reception, it's just that the receptionists don't trust you. Before you are shown the place, your bill is shoved under your nose. There is probably nothing wrong with that, but if it were me I would first make the customer feel at ease and then pay the bill. There was nothing wrong with the room, but there was food on the menu that wasn't available, and, believe it, they didn't have ice cream.

Oornagstop op pad Weskus toe!

Calvina is 'n ou dorpie en so ook die hotel. As jy luuks en modern verwag is die hotel nie vir jou nie. Sekere gedeeltes is en lyk afgeleef. Maar as jy bereid is om verby die oppervlak te kyk en lus het om meer met die gees en kultuur van die mense van Calvina te doen te kry, is hierdie hotelletjie beslis die antwoord. Saterdae is dit die bymekaarkomplek van die jong manne van die omgewing en ons het ook vir 'n ruk saam met hulle gekuier. Mense met harte van goud! So in kort - ons het die aand in Calvinia VERSKRIKLIK geniet! En ja - die beddegoed en handdoeke is silwerskoon en van goeie gehalte.

Overnight stop on the way to the West Coast!

Calvina is an old town and so is the hotel. If you expect luxury and modern, the hotel is not for you. Certain sections are and look run down. But if you are willing to look beyond the surface and feel like getting more involved with the spirit and culture of the people of Calvina, this little hotel is definitely the answer. On Saturdays it is the meeting place for the young men of the area and we also visited with them for a while. People with hearts of gold! So in short - we enjoyed the evening in Calvinia AWESOME! And yes - the bed linen and towels are spotless and of good quality.

We were booked into the lodge which is the old original hotel which they are sill in the process of upgrading.

The rooms seem to be done ours and our friends were good, obviously there is much work to be done. The walk to the main hotel for meals is a bit of a schlep, but as it was the Vleisfees we were happy to get accommodated. Calvinia is steeped in history a synopsis of which is to be found in the hotel info book in each room. My only regret is that we did not have time and that it was a Sunday, to visit the places mentioned or the museum.

Een aaklige nag!

Ons moes tussen verfblikke en sementsakke na ontvangs loop. Gebou word opgeknap en daar is geen sitkamer of kroeg beskikbaar nie. Ek het die balans van die verblyfkoste teen my sin betaal, en daar was nie kleingeld nie. Na betaling word ons in kennis gestel dat ons a.g.v onderhoudswerk by hul Tankwa Lodge geakkommodeer gaan word. Die Lodge is ook toe onder die verfkontrakteurs en dis 'n dooie gebou sonder dienspersoneel. Aandete in die hotel se eetkamer sonder gordyne was ook onder standaard. Die kamer waar ons toe geslaap het, was net-net groot genoeg vir 'n dubbelbed, daar was 'n Bybel, maar nie genoeg spasie om dit oop te maak nie. Calvinia Hotel het LekkeSlaap se naam deur die modder gesleep.

One awful night!

We had to walk between paint cans and cement bags to reception. Building is being renovated and there is no lounge or bar available. I paid the balance of the accommodation costs against my will, and there was no change. After payment we are informed that due to maintenance work we will be accommodated at their Tankwa Lodge. The Lodge was also then under the painting contractors and it was a dead building with no service staff. Dinner in the hotel's curtainless dining room was also below standard. The room we then slept in was barely big enough for a double bed, there was a Bible, but not enough space to open it. Calvinia Hotel dragged LekkeSlaap's name through the mud.

Na 'n uiters vermoeiende reis as gevolg van padwerke, was dit goed om uiteindelik die hotel te bereik. Ons is baie goed ontvang en het dadelik tuis gevoel. Die geriewe het heeltemal aan ons behoeftes voldoen en ons sal graag per geleentheid langer wil kuier.

Lekker stil in die slaapkamer sonder enige verkeer-geraas. Het net baie lank gewag vir aandete, maar toe die kos daar aankom was dit lekker.

Slept well!

Nice and quiet in the bedroom without any traffic noise. Just waited a very long time for dinner, but when the food arrived it was delicious.

Vriendelik, maar nie 'n "wow"-ervaring nie.

Reg vir 'n oorslaap op pad na Upington of Kaapstad.

Friendly, but not a "wow" experience.

Right for a stopover on the way to Upington or Cape Town.

Een aand oorgebly. Kamers was darem skoon.

Die personeel was onvriendelik, suur en onbehulpsaam. Die kantoordame het eindeloos gekla dat haar rekenaar nie werk nie. Dit was nie my probleem nie. Die ontbyt was sub-standaard - 'n vaal stukkie wors en 2 eiers wat reeds vroeër gebak is. Ons het nie gewaag om aandete te geniet nie.

Stayed one night. At least rooms were clean.

The staff were unfriendly, sour and unhelpful. The office lady complained endlessly about her computer not working. It wasn't my problem. The breakfast was sub-standard - a bland piece of sausage and 2 eggs that had already been cooked earlier. We did not dare to enjoy dinner.

Foto van hotel is misleidend.

Swembad 'n groot teleurstelling. Eetkamer nie baie netjies nie en diens kan beter wees.

Photo of hotel is misleading.

Swimming pool a big disappointment. Dining room not very tidy and service could be better.

Hi Renate

Met die water beperkings wat ons tans tref is dit onmoointlik om iets daar aan nou to doen.

Vriendelike diens, skoon en netjiese kamers dit was 'n plesier om hier te kuier.

Ontvangs was tops geen probleme gehad nie. Kamers was skoon en netjies. Die dames by ontvangs het uit hulle pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel. Ons was onseker hoe om by die Tankwa Karoo Nationale park te kom en die dame by ontvangs Saterdag aand het so bietjie rond geskakel om uit te vind watter pad die beste is om te ry. Ons het hoofsaaklik by restaurant by Hotel ons etes genuttig. Kos was van hoogstaande gehalte en diens was 10 uit 10. Ek sal weer met my volgende besoek aan Calvinia weer gebruik maak van Calvinia Hotel en sy gasvrye mense. Diens was tops en ons het geen klagtes nie.

Friendly service, clean and tidy rooms, it was a pleasure to visit here.

Reception was top had no problems. Rooms were clean and tidy. The ladies at reception went out of their way to make us feel at home. We were unsure of how to get to the Tankwa Karoo National park and the lady at reception on Saturday evening called around a bit to find out which road was the best to drive. We mainly had our meals at the restaurant at the Hotel. Food was of high quality and service was 10 out of 10. I will use Calvinia Hotel and its hospitable people again on my next visit to Calvinia. Service was top notch and we have no complaints.
