Don't know, wasn't up to previous times standard.
We had a nice stay before, but this time we were disappointed. It was dusty, even the toilet roll holder in the bathroom was full of dust. Furthermore, there was no hot water, we were on our way again early in the morning and could not take a shower, because there was no hot water. Was very disappointed.

Bloem is really a run-down town, drive to another town instead and don't drink the water. Place is cute. It's for conferences, so not personal with soaps and goodies that you usually get at a guest house, but it's good value for money. Place for caravan, very safe.

The 'booked rooms' were great, tidy and definitely comfortable. The dirt road to the accommodation is definitely in need of a scratch, as the surface is heavily corrugated. After the recent rains there were a few farm dams you had to drive through but luckily that was part of the excitement.

Overnight accommodation.
We stayed the night, but had to visit friends. Just got the key and unpacked. On arrival, unpacked properly, and noticed the room smelled of wetness and smoke. Refrigerator or water leak caused the carpet to be wet and smelly. Game! Air conditioning also had very bad smell. Bed comfortable. Personally, I will not visit there again, even if the hostess was friendly. Believe it was an isolated case, but still cracks me up.

Apart from the fact that the location of the guest house is a bit out of the city and the access road was not too good, the reception and cleanliness of the rooms made up for it.

Could have been better.
The lodge is not bad looking and it is in a quiet area. The road is a nightmare and shakes everything that shouldn't shake. My problem is the broken chair in front of the room and then also the broken chair in the room. My wife almost sat down on the chair, but fortunately noticed in time that the legs were broken and the chair was completely paralyzed. What looks like a beautiful place from the outside definitely doesn't look like that on the inside. The finish needs attention as there are many paint-off spots even after the long "lockdown" period, the bathroom is not clean, the soap dish is completely loose and there is black mold on the grouting between the tiles indicating that the place is not cleaned well. The kettle is so dirty inside from starting that we didn't even want to drink coffee. I turned down Tuscan Lodge to stay here but unfortunately I will not stay there again. The managers are a pleasant, friendly lady. Small improvements will make the place look and feel much better. Thanks anyway.

The reception was warm, hospitable and the room nice and clean, with everything we needed.
Upon our arrival we were warmly welcomed and immediately felt at home. The room was modern and nice clean and tidy, with everything we needed at our disposal. The road to the lodge is not clearly marked and Google Maps had to be used. There is also a short section (1 - 2 km) which is a dirt road and some corrugated iron has been driven over (municipal road and not the lodge's responsibility). We really enjoyed the 2 days visiting the lodge and its people and also had a delicious breakfast every morning (at extra cost). Will definitely stay here again if the occasion calls for it.

Was not satisfied at all - unfortunately will not stay at Monte Christo again. What a disappointment!
Road to it was bad. Carpets were dirty and the room and bathroom just felt dirty. There was a toothpick on the carpet in the room upon arrival. Room was self-catering but there was only 1 plate, 2 glasses and 1 spoon. Bathroom needs renovation. The shower kept leaking on you when you were in the bath. One had to hold the button all the time. Constantly feeling like something is biting you. Was very disappointed unfortunately! Have stayed in Bloem a lot and wanted to try something new this time but will not stay here again.
