Na 'n lang, warm reis was dit baie ontspannend.

Regtig 'n lekker plek. Ons het 2 eenhede gehad en albei was fantasties.

Ons het lekker warm geslaap.

Alhoewel die plek skoon en netjies was, het dit gestink na rook. Die muurproppe was toe geplak en ons kon dit nie gebruik nie, wat dit uiters moeilik gemaak het om ons hare die volgende dag te doen. Die stort het versink, wat dit moeilik gemaak het om uit die stort te kom met sy deur wat nie groot oopmaak nie. Daar was geen beligting buite wat gewerk het nie, en ons moes by die swembad versigtig beweeg aangesien ons 3 ook net 1 flits gehad het.

We slept nice and warm.

Although the place was clean and tidy, it stank of smoke. The plugs were stuck shut and we couldn't use them, which made it extremely difficult to do our hair the next day. The shower was sunken, making it difficult to get out of the shower with its door not opening wide. There was no outside lighting that worked, and we had to be careful at the pool as the 3 of us also only had 1 flashlight.

My man en seun het oorgebly hier. Hulle sê karre / trokke raas verskriklik, en daar is geen aircon nie, net fans. Baie warm in plekkie gewees.

Kalahari Villa 's response

Hello, in addition to the fans, the 2 bedroom unit shares an air cooling system with the main house (installed on the roof), the strength of which can be set higher upon request. We apologise for the traffic; sometimes it has a mind of its own. Thank you for your feedback.

Business. No Cleaning Service. Air conditioners need attention.

My husband stayed there for 3 nights. . The Air Conditioners are not working properly and there is no Cleaning Services. He is a Contractor and works with his Assistants all day in the Sun and Weather. He was not very happy when he arrived at his Accommodation on the second day and had to clean it himself.

Baie lekker, kort afstand tot by die mall, lekker swembad en WiFi.

Die swembad area is ge-revamp teenoor die foto. Lekker luistoele en 'n skadunet oor die swembadarea. Baie netjies en ideaal vir 'n gesin met kinders.

It was ok but always room for improvement.

The 2 bedroom flatlet had no air conditioning in the heat of Upington. The quality of workmanship on the doors was poor (it's simple enough to turn the door lock pin around, and the door will stay closed when shut).

Thank you for your feedback, Chris. We will replace the lock.

Not meeting our expectations. Probably acceptable for the price.

Bedroom very small and uncomfortable. No room for a table or bed, no bedside lamp. Maintenance needs to improve eg toilet roll holder falls out, front door does not lock from the outside, front door peephole stuck and comes loose. Indication does not exist, eg no house or street number and no indication that it is Kalari Villa. Caused a wanted and had to call. Photos do not show the limited space in the room and also the very small bathroom. Visitors with lower expectations will probably overlook or accept these things.

Was so-so.

Hulle kan DStv insit want Netflix het nie gespeel nie, Showmax was boring en as dit nie vir die wifi was nie en ons nie ons eie laptop saamgevat het nie, dan weet ek nie. Ons het geensins welkom gevoel nie, ek en my vrou was baie ongelukkig en ons kan nie gewag het om daar uit te kom nie. Hulle moet hul diens opskerp, no hard feelings, ons het al by baie plekke ingeboek, so ons weet wat is diens as dit by sulke plekke kom.

They can put in DStv because Netflix didn't play, Showmax was boring and if it wasn't for the wifi and we didn't bring our own laptop, then I don't know. We didn't feel welcome at all, my wife and I were very unhappy and we couldn't have waited to get out. They need to step up their service, no hard feelings, we have checked in at many places, so we know what service is when it comes to places like this.

Kalahari Villa 's response

Hello, we are sorry that we didn't meet your expectations. For entertainment value, our premises offer DStv, Netflix, Wi-Fi, a swimming pool, and a braai area as advertised. We do not offer Showmax. Should have we known about your Netflix difficulties, we would have been more than happy to assist you in the same manner as when you requested an ironing board and an iron, which were made available immediately. We take customer service very seriously, as shown in our customer reviews. We will continue to strive in providing our guests with the best customer service possible in a continuous improvement cycle. Thank you for your feedback.
