Not bad.

Stay was good, however security can really be upgraded at the restaurant area, especially with people walking in and out on a Saturday evening. Some very unsavoury characters, who were obviously not there for a meal.

Regtig nie goed gewees nie.

Die hotel is in die middel van die dorp. Baie raserig. Die hotel kort baie ernstige opgradering. Van die ontvangs waar ons 'n verkeerde kamer toegeken is, tot by die kamers en handdoeke. Regtig nie 'n goeie oorslaapplek nie. Jy kan vir 'n klein bietjie meer geld 'n baie beter plek kry.

Really not been good.

The hotel is in the center of town. Very noisy. The hotel needs very serious upgrading. From the reception where we were allocated a wrong room, to the rooms and towels. Really not a good place to sleep. You can get a much better place for a little more money.

Teleurstellend

Hotel baie verwaarloos. Lyk of die fotos op die webblad baie lank terug geneem is. Ander gaste in die hotel het hul wangedra, baie gevloek en geraas. Die mans het baie neerhalend en met uiters swak en onaanvaarbare taalgebruik met die hotel se ontvangsdame gepraat toe sy hul probeer stilmaak het. Daar was geen sekuriteitswag aan diens om haar te help nie. Hoe kan die bestuur van die hotel verwag dat sy laataand sulke probleme alleen moet uitsorteer? Nie die tipe verblyf wat ek van julle verwag het nie.

Disappointing

Hotel very neglected. Looks like the photos on the web page were taken a long time ago. Other guests in the hotel misbehaved, swore a lot and made noise. The men spoke very condescendingly and with extremely poor and unacceptable language to the hotel's receptionist when she tried to silence them. There was no security guard on duty to help her. How can the management of the hotel expect her to sort out such problems alone late at night? Not the type of accommodation I expected from you.

Pleasantly surprised!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Karoo Country Inn Hotel. I was hesitant to book here due to the past reviews, but trust me when I say some are overdramatic. We stayed in the Suite and it was spotless when we arrived and smelled so nice! The room is very large and it has a lovely living room and large bathroom and access to a very private spot on the balcony. Positives: Clean, large, dustless room (we checked the headboards, no dust whatsoever). Staff made sure we came home to a clean room, fresh towels and restocked coffee cabinet every day. Bed was very comfortable and the linens were spotless, crisp white and high quality. Staff is very friendly and made us feel very welcome. Safe parking inside. Negatives: The restaurant is overly expensive for a small town such as Middelburg. The shower was unusable due to its poor water pressure so could only take baths. We didn't have hot water for one night but the rest of the nights were completely fine. No telephone in the room so no room service was available. Some maintenance is required. A few of the lamps didn't have bulbs and the mirror had water stains on it, no hot/cold indicators on the taps. Small things like that. No generators, but there was a loadshedding light in the room which helped a lot. The hotel is meant to be old school and it only has old furniture in it, but it's beautiful and nostalgic that way. It's not fair to expect something that is 172 years old to be modern. Overall we had a lovely experience and will book again in the future!

Everything you need for an overnight stay while traveling.

This is not a luxury establishment: it is an old building, heavy on old-world charm and light on modern fixtures and amenities. But: it's perfectly located if you're traveling between Gauteng and the Garden Route, it's very affordable, staff are extremely friendly and helpful, there's a lovely restaurant and bar on the premises and a cool and sparkling pool, and air conditioning (important for any stay in the Karoo). The place works hard at giving you a good experience, everything is clean, and it's safe and quiet. Recommended overnight possibility.

Die ervaring was ietwat traumaties.

Aanvanklik was daar niemand by ontvangs nie. Daarna het niemand van my bespreking geweet nie. Daar was beurtkrag en geen flitsligte is voorsien nie. Ek moes in die donker gang na my kamer gaan soek.

Ons stop na 'n lang pad van Koës Namibia by hotel was vir ons nie goed met die hele dag krag af en toe weer van 18h00 af met SA se lae kragverbruik nie.

Daar was ook geen water in toilette nie en dus was badkamers nie netjies skoon nie, sekerlik nie personeelfout nie, maar 'n stadsraadfout. Geen krag, geen water. Restaurant en bediening was baie vriendelik en kosse was heerlik by Kersete!

We stop after a long way from Koës Namibia at hotel was not good for us with power all day and occasionally again from 18h00 with SA's low power consumption.

There was also no water in toilets and so bathrooms were not scrupulously clean, certainly not a staff fault but a city council fault. No power, no water. Restaurant and service were very friendly and food was delicious at Christmas dinner!

Staff very pleasant and helpful, even went out of there way to provide us with a meal at 10pm!

The Karoo Country Inn is old, has historic significance and must be renovated and preserved. The staff is great, the WiFi, electricity worked well despite loadshedding. What is terrible is that the rooms are dirty. Dust and grime everywhere. This place needs to be cleaned, especially the rooms and maintenance overall.

Karoo Country Inn Hotel 's response

Good day Tjaart,
Thank you for your review.
We are very sorry that you did not enjoy your stay with us. The evening of 11 August we had an exceptionally busy evening it was inter-schools in the town and a lot of guests came for dinner we had to use all our staff to assist the reason you could not find the receptionist sometimes at the desk. There is a contact number a guest can phone. Please keep in mind that we can not have more personnel on a shift we are usually not so busy, so this was one exceptionally busy evening. We do apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Kind regards. Deone

Swak, los die plek uit.

Die plek is 'n gemors. Mors van geld. Ry na die volgende plek. Restaurant is onnet en het niks omtrent om te eet nie, stof orals, glase is vuil, plek is nie onderhou nie, aircon werk nie soos hy moet nie. Vir die geld wat mens betaal en wat jy kry moet die plek nie eers 1 ster kry nie, swak.

Goeie ligging af Kaap toe. Vriendelike personeel maar diens kan beter.

Personeel is vriendelik en praat Afrikaans. Kamer en beddegoed was mooi skoon, net jammer geen stort, slegs 'n bad. WiFi was ongelukkig gereeld sporadies af en aan. Teen 21h00 was dit nie beskikbaar meer nie. Die televisie is nog die bokstipe en van die kanale van DStv was nie beskikbaar nie, en ons het geen belangstelling in OpenView se kanale nie. Parkering op besige tye blyk 'n bietjie van 'n probleem te wees aangesien mense hulle karre moet trek op obskure plekke dat almal kan inkom in die perseel wat wel veilig is. Net jammer hulle bel' n gas half tien as jy klaar in jou bed is om moontlik jou kar te skuif! Ek het hulle egter nie onthaal nie. Ontbyt word eers bedien vanaf 7uur, so dis nie gepas vir reisigers wat vroeg wil pad vat nie. Aandete was bietjie duur en my steak was op 'n koue 'rock plate' bedien met bietjie uie ringe en 'n koepeltjie rys, geen groente. My vrou se olie-deurdrenke kalamari het lank nadat ek klaar geeët het eers aangekom.

Good location down to the Cape. Friendly staff but service could be better.

Staff are friendly and speak Afrikaans. Room and bedding were nice and clean, just a pity no shower, only a bath. WiFi was unfortunately often sporadically on and off. By 21h00 it was no longer available. The television is still the box type and some of the channels from DStv were not available, and we have no interest in OpenView's channels. Parking at busy times seems to be a bit of a problem as people have to pull their cars into obscure places for everyone to get into the premises which is safe. Just a pity they call a guest at half past ten when you are finished in your bed to possibly move your car! However, I did not entertain them. Breakfast is only served from 7am, so it is not suitable for travelers who want to set off early. Dinner was a bit expensive and my steak was served on a cold 'rock plate' with some onion rings and a small bowl of rice, no vegetables. My wife's oil-soaked calamari arrived long after I had finished eating.

Was 'n heerlike kuier na baie kilometers in die saal!

Ek het eintklik baie nostalgie aan Middelburg. As klein seuntjies het ons vakansies daar by my Oupa en Ouma Hansen gaan kuier. Hulle lê albei daar begrawe, ons het die geleentheid gebruik om sommer 'n draai by hulle graf te maak. Ons het hulle huis gaan soek, in 40 jaar verander baie dinge! Middelburg was neefs en niggies tyd gewees. Die Karoo Country in is netjies, skoon, antieke meubels, die aandete was heerlik, die kelnerinne vriendelik en briljant. Uiters veilige parkeerplek. Heerlike laatmiddag, aand en volgende oggend daar spandeer!

Was a great visit after many kilometers in the saddle!

I actually have a lot of nostalgia for Middelburg. As little boys, we spent our holidays visiting my Grandpa and Grandma Hansen there. They are both buried there, we took the opportunity to simply visit their grave. We went looking for their house, in 40 years many things change! Middelburg had been cousins time. The Karoo Country in is neat, clean, antique furniture, the dinner was delicious, the waitresses friendly and brilliant. Extremely secure parking. Lovely late afternoon, evening and next morning spent there!

Die hotel is mooi, maar is binne is dit effe verwaardeloos. Koue water wou nie werk nie en die toilet was stukkend. Sal ongelukkig nie weer hier oornag nie.

The hotel is beautiful, but needs some attention.

The hotel is nice, but inside it's a bit shabby. Cold water wouldn't work and the toilet was broken. Unfortunately will not stay here again.

Karoo Country Inn Hotel 's response

Goeie dag Kobus,

Ons neem kennis van jou oorsig. Let asb daarop dat u in n ekonomiese kamer oornag het wat baie goedkoper is as ons opgegradeerde kamers. Ons onderhoudspan is besig om aan die toiletstelsels van die ekonomiese kamers te werk of dit te vervang.

Groete.
Deone

Onvoorsienbare onplesierige verblyf.

Ongelukkig het die dorp 'n kragonderbreking gehad. Als was in donkerte gehul. Moes oor die weg kom met 1 kers, fone was ook pap so kon nie foonflits gebruik nie. Daar was ook geen water nie. Ek verstaan dit is nie die hotel se fout nie, maar dalk kan hulle beter voorsorg tref vir sulke situasies. Dis moeilik om 'n peiling te maak as jy niks kon sien en niks kon gebruik.

Unforeseen unpleasant stay.

Unfortunately, the town had a power outage. Als was shrouded in darkness. Had to get by with 1 candle, phones were dead too so couldn't use phone flash. There was no water either. I understand it's not the hotel's fault, but maybe they can take better precautions for such situations. It's hard to make a poll if you couldn't see anything and couldn't use anything.

Goed geleë en alles wat mens benodig om te oornag.

Baie mooi ou gebou met warm karakter al is dit oud. Badkamers word tans opgeknap, maar daar was geen ongerief nie. Personeel was vriendelik en die restaurant, Keg, heel gesellig met goeie kos. Die prys is heel billik en al die nodige geriewe was beskikbaar.

Net-net 'n pass.

1. Aircon het nie gewerk nie. Oop vensters is oukei, maar daar's baie lawaai op 'n Saterdagaand. 2. Kegg-kroeg het ook geen aircon nie. 3. Griekse slaai sonder swart olywe? 4. Pork ribs het koud gearriveer. 5. Agterste ingang is verby toilette waar daar 'n voortdurende stank is.

Geskik vir oorslaap as daar nie 'n alternatief is nie.

Dit is 'n ou, afgeleefde hotel met krakende vloere. Die kamers is ruim. Daar is kennisgewings wat aandui dat die hotel opgeknap word. Die plek het potensiaal.

Suitable for sleeping over if there is no alternative.

It is an old, worn out hotel with creaking floors. The rooms are spacious. There are notices indicating that the hotel will be renovated. The place has potential.

Most disappointed.

The rooms are old and carpets are dirty. The bathrooms ( we had 2 rooms) need a good scrub down. The restaurant was average but overpriced. Because the hotel is at an intersection it’s very noisy.

Karoo Country Inn Hotel 's response

Good day Marc

Thank you for your review. Please bear in mind that you booked the economy - our upgraded rooms would definitely have met your expectations.
It was also one of the busiest nights of the year, the hotel was fully booked and the roads were very busy.

Have a safe journey.

Kind regards,

The beds need to be replaced.

The general accommodation was reasonable. Picked up some issues. The one mattress of the bed was not suitable for sleeping on. The shower facilities were also not very nice. Some of the goods that were previously requested had to be returned and others had to be supplied.

Nie groot keuses in Middelburg vir verblyf nie! Die hotel kort 'n goeie skoonmaak, als is vol stof en ruik muwwerig. Kamers is oraait, kos was baie swak met aandete! Ontbytsaal kort ook skoonmaak, lyk oud en ruik oud!

Hotel het potensiaal indien daar intensief skoongemaak word! En indien ordentlike/eetbare kos bedien word, parkering is maar probleem, spasie bitter klein agter. Bedelaars, veral kinders reg voor hotel baie lastig!

Not many choices in Middelburg for accommodation! The hotel needs a good cleaning, als is full of dust and smells musty. Rooms are ok, food was very poor with dinner! Breakfast room also needs cleaning, looks old and smells old!

Hotel has potential if cleaned intensively! And if decent/edible food is served, parking is only a problem, space is very small at the back. Beggars, especially children right in front of hotel very annoying!

Gasvryheid soos min - ‘n Karoo-juweel!

Ons het in die hotel se selfsorgeenhede gebly - pragtige, ruim gerestoureerde huis naby die hotel. Die aand het ons heerlik in die Keg & Springbuck geëet en die volgende oggend ontbyt in die hotel. Diens was uitstekend en die kos baie smaaklik! Ek sal die Karoo Country Inn weer besoek en beveel hom sterk aan vir enigiemand op pad na die kus!

Hospitality like few - a Karoo gem!

We stayed in the hotel's self-catering units - beautiful, spacious restored house close to the hotel. In the evening we had a delicious meal in the Keg & Springbuck and the next morning breakfast in the hotel. Service was excellent and the food very tasty! I would visit the Karoo Country Inn again and highly recommend it to anyone heading to the coast!
