It was absolutely fantastic. Thank you.
I felt our shower was not very convenient. Water spilled a lot on the floor. It can improve. Television was missing in our room and this led to us getting bored later. Otherwise the service was excellent. The receptionist has a lovely attitude towards her customers. The entire staff all have a friendly attitude. I give them 100% for human relations. Good service.

Pleasantly surprised with the backpackers.
My impression of backpackers is dorm rooms and everyone is in each other's business. At Hogsback Inn this is not the case, sufficient facilities for the few private rooms available. Simple, but sufficient. Good beds with good quality, warm bedding, Clean kitchen and bathroom with hot water. Not bad at all.

Hogsback Inn needs to focus more on customer service.
Although we booked the "budget" rooms I believe Hogsback Inn can do more to attract the customer back. We were on a motorcycle tour and by nature a rider doesn't carry much with him on his motorcycle. There were 2 biscuits in the room and no coffee, tea, sugar etc. not in the shared kitchen. So I had to go get coffee from friends. And the 1 shower was blocked and the hot water was on after 1 man showered for 2 min. I believe they can do more. I am a regular visitor to Hogsback and would like to recommend the people. But based on this weekend's experience, I can't do that. It's all in the details.

Dilapidated and dirty.
Furniture is dilapidated. Curtains and bedding are old and not clean. The doorknob simply fell off upon arrival. I had to go look for towels in the evening at the reception, which also took 10min. DSTV is not working. To top it all off, we find dog or human excrement in front of the front door on the second night. They also can't advertise wifi because the wifi doesn't work where we stayed. Then we also had to pay R6400 to stay in this place for 2 nights. The place was definitely not full.

It was not nice at Hogsback Inn.
For backpackers rooms, the rates are way too expensive. The place is in dire need of renovation. Walls moldy, carpets kaput, furniture in the portal broken and run down. Kitchen not a place to prepare food. Where there should have been glass windows between the rooms and the portal there were only wooden boards. And the room I had to sleep in was still in two parts, which means that the room has no privacy. No proper parking outside. Showers lack attention and are not hygienic. The fridge in the kitchen didn't have any ice in it and I went to see the manager via the barmaid and asked if I could buy ice. The man was very curt and informed me that the ice he has is only for his customers/guests. We paid ridiculously high prices and we weren't counted as guests? We got much better for less money with our further holiday accommodation. I will clearly make sure in my conversations with others that Hogsback is not a good place. I also took quite a few photos to back up my story here.

Accommodation is clean and tidy, but hotel needs work.
Accommodation was clean and tidy, but the hotel decor is old and in need of attention. The mentality of the owners is poor, things are tackled lazily, for example instead of mounting the multiplug on the wall they balance it on the trash can, there are marks everywhere on the walls that need to be painted etc.

It is extremely dilapidated.
The staff are friendly, the rooms in a miserable condition. Ceilings detached from the wall, the rugs dirty and old, cobwebs in the bathroom. It really felt like we were getting the oldest and dirtiest room and we booked a long time ago. The food average. Small bowl of soup for very a lot of money. A TV that blades in a dining room with a comedy program is not acceptable. Will not stay there again.

Was disappointing.
We stayed in a self-catering unit. The unit was very neglected, especially on the outside. The unit smells stuffy and the general impression was just not very good. We stayed at another resort the second night at about the same cost, but the value for money was much better. Can't comment on the hotel rooms or restaurant as we didn't visit.
