Vinnige in en uit.

Ons het net oorgeslaap om die hike te doen in Boesmanskloof, maar die kort tydjie by Ecolodge was goed, geen probleme of kwale.

Quick in and out.

We only slept over to do the hike in Boesmanskloof, but the short time at Ecolodge was good, no problems or ailments.

Waarde vir geld, backpackers/ koshuis tipe verblyf. Skoon en netjies.

Ons het die Greyton EcoLodge gebruik toe ons die Fools and Fans Craft Beer festival bygewoon het. Ons het baie lekker gebly en vir die koste, en wat ons gekry het, was dit presies wat ons nodig gehad het.

Value for money, backpackers/hostel type accommodation. Clean and tidy.

We used the Greyton EcoLodge when we attended the Fools and Fans Craft Beer festival. We had a very nice stay and for the cost, and what we got, it was exactly what we needed.

Good location, clean rooms, hot showers, well-equipped and a friendly owner.

Greyton Eco Lodge surpassed my expectations. I have stayed in backpacker-type places before and know that some are not great. I even took my own linen and pillows! But what a pleasant surprise was in store! The lodge was clean (the showers are old, it's not dirt) and my twin room was sunny with great views and clean white linen. The kitchen was possibly the most equipped kitchen I have ever experienced at a backpackers. Janet was lovely and very helpful. We could walk to the town and enjoyed a walk to the waterfall. Horses graze on the grounds and there were a few resident felines too. Greyton Eco Lodge is definitely recommended by me and my friends.

Basic but homely.

Very comfortable 'backpackers'. Janet and staff were available for any queries. Just need to refurbish the one bathroom near the twin rooms on the 1st floor. The shower appears dirty because the grouting is discoloured. Just redo the tiling or regrout and it will look cleaner. Same for the hand basin in the bathroom; it is discoloured. It is time to upgrade.

Greyton EcoLodge 's response

Hi Adele,

Thank you for your review. There is nothing more that I would like to do than refurbish and upgrade many aspects of this building. It is a government building and we rent it from the primary school next door. They are a no-fee school and do not have the funds to maintain their building. We do our best, step by step as budget allows, as we keep our prices in line with backpackers and what guests can expect for what they pay. We also provide affordable accommodation in Greyton.
We scrub and clean as best we can. This building is over 60 years old now and has been well used.
Kind regards,
Janet

Not what we expected. Must be sure to accept the cheapest place may be a.

I went to collect the keys but after viewing the place I came back later and handed the keys in again. This is an old residence. The floors are weathered. It just doesn't make for a happy occasion. Even the owner looked just like the building. The room appeared clean. The garden etc. is also neglected. I did not view the common bsad and toilet facilities. Yes, so we paid R 500 but did not use the place.

The landlord was always available to help. The place is fine, it just needs deep cleaning.

Dear Sylvia, thank you for your review.

This old building has been transformed from an unused school hostel to a backpackers and venue where large groups, such as yours, can stay at a very affordable price. We lease the building from the government school next door and our rent pays the salaries of some of the teachers. We do our best to keep the old place as clean as possible and are always improving and upgrading. It was unfortunate that during your stay we were having some serious water issues due to load shedding.

We look forward to your next local event and hope you will stay with us again.

Regards
Janet

Nie luuks nie, maar bed slaap lekker.

Nie 'n luukse plek nie. Die gebou is baie verwaarloos. Koppies in die kombuis is baie getjip. Maar, beddegoed is gelukkig skoon en vars. Het wel lekker geslaap.

Not luxurious, but bed sleeps well.

Not a luxurious place. The building is very neglected. Cups in the kitchen are very chipped. But, fortunately, bed linen is clean and fresh. Did sleep well.
