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.

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.

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!

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

The place is a mess. Waste of money. Drive to the next location. Restaurant is dirty and has almost nothing to eat, dust everywhere, glasses are dirty, place is not maintained, aircon does not work as it should. For the money you pay and what you get, the place should not even get 1 star, poor.

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.

Too few staff on duty. 1 lady had to handle everything. Check-in, waitress, bartender, kitchen etc. For a family of 4 there were only 2 towels. Bath mats that slouch. Next morning was load shedding and I assume that's why we struggled with water to shower. No extra effort.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!
