Vriendelike personeel. Skoon en netjies.

Ja. By aankoms om 17:15 het personeel geweet van my. Kamer 307 was soos ek versoek het. Kamer was skoon en netjies. Sal weer daar oorbly!

Alles wat mens nodig het.

Het lekker gebly. TV-kanale bietjie beperk. En moet R45 parkering vir elke dag betaal as uitgaan. Maar andersins was alles netjies en ons het lekker gebly.

Everything one needs.

Had a nice stay. TV channels a bit limited. And must pay R45 parking for each day if going out. But otherwise everything was neat and we had a nice stay.

Good value for money.

Nice stay. Just stole my bakkie's spare tire in front of the door. Perhaps discuss extra security with airport management.

Moet net in ag neem dat jy ekstra moet betaal vir parkering en slegs 4 TV-kanale beskikbaar is.

Just a quick overnight place after a funkise, comfortable, clean and tidy.

The entrance and exterior of the Hotel is a bit weathered and creates a poor impression, there is no lift and you have to carry your luggage up three floors to your room.

Netjies verblyf.

Kamers is netjies en gerieflik. Huishouding kort egter aandag. Geen toiletpapier in die kamer nie. Ketel het water gelek, dit is aangemeld by ontvangs maar niks is gedoen omtrent dit nie. TV se remote het geen batterye in gehad nie. Daar word ook nie genoem dat mens moet betaal vir parkeerplek nie.

Neat accommodation.

Rooms are neat and comfortable. However, housekeeping needs attention. No toilet paper in the room. Kettle was leaking water, this was reported on reception but nothing was done about it. TV's remote had no batteries in it. Nor is it mentioned that one has to pay for parking.

Very impersonal.

When you consider cost, no breakfast included, then you have to pay another R45 to get out of the parking in the morning, it is quite expensive.

Baie tevrede.

Baie goeie opsie vir die area veral a.g.v. veiligheid en die baie goeie eetplek op lughawe. Enigste probleem was kommunikasie oor hoe betaling vir parkering werk en dat jy kaartjie moet hou om uit te gaan saam met lodge voucher.

Very good option for the area especially because security and the very good place to eat at the airport. Only problem was communication about how payment for parking works and that you have to keep ticket to go out along with lodge voucher.

Dakota Lodge het 100% in ons behoeftes vir die naweek voorsien.

Dakota Lodge bied netjiese akkommodasie met vriendelike, hulpvaardige personeel en veilige parkering. Goed geleë en baie maklik om by nabygeleë voorstede uit te kom. 'n Pluspunt vir ons was die Harvard Café waar ons die Vrydagaand en Sondagoggend geëet het. Dit is loopafstand vanaf Dakota Lodge en het 'n heerlike atmosfeer! Ons sal vir seker weer by Dakota Lodge oorbly wanneer ons akkommodasie in daardie omgewing benodig. Beslis waarde vir geld! Dankie!

A plus point for us was the Harvard Café where we ate on Friday night and Sunday morning. It is walking distance from Dakota Lodge and has a great atmosphere! We will definitely stay at Dakota Lodge again when we need accommodation in that area. Definitely value for money! Thank you!

Unique Lodge in very safe setting.

A unique setting on the edge of the Rand Airport runway. Great place to stay if aviation and aviation history interests you. The rooms are well appointed and staff go out of their way to assist guests. The biggest plus is that the airport and Lodge is in an access controlled area if safety is a consideration.

Have had better accommodation for the same money

The toilet could not flush, I had to lift the toilet bowl to flush the toilet. The safe didn't work, so I had to ask reception for a key and it was so small that I couldn't even lock my Ipad in there. The bulb of the light as I walked into the room was dead, I had to ask them to come and replace it. The light in the bathroom was very dim, it was very dark so I couldn't really see anything in the mirror. There is no person to help with luggage so I had to carry a heavy suitcase and bags two stories high. In general they are not bad but there are little things where you have to pay attention to them. I also asked for a room with a bath, I got a room with a shower. My room only had two hangers in the closet, other friends who stayed there had no hangers in their closets.

Het voldoen aan ons vereistes as bad- en slaapplek.

Die eenheid waarin ons tuisgegaan het, het nie breekware of eetgerei in gehad nie. Ek moes twee keer by ontvangs gaan vra vir breekware. Binne-in die mikrogolf was 'n vorige gas se "left-overs" wat vrot geword het. Die skoonmaker het nie eens die mikrogolf uitgevee nadat sy die vrot kospakkie verwyder het nie. Die TV opvangs was swak. Die gordyne is geskeur.

Met our requirements as a bath and sleeping place.

The unit we stayed in did not have crockery or cutlery in it. I had to ask reception twice for crockery. Inside the microwave were a previous guest's "left-overs" that had gone rotten. The cleaner didn't even wipe the microwave after removing the rotten food package. The TV reception was poor. The curtains are torn.

Beste Wilma
Ek is regtig jammer om van jou slegte ondervinding te hoor. Ek wil ernstig om verskoning vra oor die mikrogolf oond wat vuil was en vrot kos gehad het. Dit is onvergeefbaar.
Ons voorsien slegs eetgerei op versoek. Die gordyn kan ek nie verklaar nie, maar soos alles bo kan ek maar net jammer sê.
Die TV opvangs; ek bly in die lodge en ons het almal het dieselfde dekodeerders wat die sein versprei, ek het ook self die TV gaan toets na jou brief en dit het toe gewerk. Ek hoop ek kry die geleentheid om julle weer te ontvang en dat daar dan nie weer probleme sal wees nie. Vriendelike groete, Alna van Zyl, bestuurder, Dakota Lodge.

Dit was 'n heerlike ondervinding om so langs die vliegveld te oornag.

Ten spyte van die informele nedersettings in die omgewing, het Dakata Lodge egter die nodige sekuriteit in plek gesit wat 'n mens 'n gevoel van veiligheid gee. Baie dankie vir 'n aangename verblyf. Ons sal verseker weer hier kom oornag.
