Die hotel bied jou die rivier en 'n mooi omgewing teen 'n bekostigbare prys.

Dit is net 'n 1-ster-hotel dink ek - so 'n mens kan nie 'n 3- of 4-ster-ervaring verwag nie. Beddens was ok en skoon. Die stort en kaste met mat was nie die skoonste nie (moet met pantoffels loop). Stortdeur moes mens optel om toe te maak ens. Ontbyt was 'ok' vir die hotel. Soet brood wat hulle self bak - ons het nog nooit soet brood gehad nie! Hoekom nie suurdeeg nie of gewone government-brood nie sal al beter wees? Die hotel bied aan waarvoor jy betaal. Hulle kan baie verbeteringe aanbring, maar dit sal geld kos wat hulle sekerlik nie het nie en die prys opstoot!

The hotel offers you the river and a beautiful environment at an affordable price.

It is only a 1 star hotel I think - so one cannot expect a 3 or 4 star experience. Beds were ok and clean. The carpeted shower and cupboards were not the cleanest (must walk in slippers). Shower door had to be lifted to close etc. Breakfast was 'ok' for the hotel. Sweet bread that they bake themselves - we have never had sweet bread before! Why not sourdough or plain government bread would be better? The hotel offers what you pay for. They can make many improvements, but it will cost money they surely don't have and push the price up!

Kamer was wonderlik, kliëntediens treurig.

Kamer was baie mooi en netjies, maar die kliëntediens was treurig. Die man by ontvangs het glad nie gelyk as of hy daar wou wees nie. Moes die hele tyd vra vrae, van waar die kamer is, tot waar die voertuie geparkeer moet word. Daar is glad nie bordjies om te wys of niks nie. Die hek waar ons moes deurgaan om die karre te parkeer het nie gewerk nie, gelukkig het iemand verby gekom wat 'n kode kon in it. Die restuarant se diens was net so stadig. Daar was 3 tafels, het oor 'n uur gewag vir kos. By die bar het ek vir 20min gewag, daarna het ek maar geloop, want die vrou was duidelik met beter goed doenig. Het glad nie eers gebly vir ontbyt nie, wou net uit.

Room was great, customer service dismal.

Room was very nice and tidy, but the customer service was dismal. The man at reception didn't look like he wanted to be there at all. Had to ask questions all the time, from where the room is, to where the vehicles should be parked. There are no signs to show or anything. The gate we had to go through to park the cars didn't work, luckily someone came by who was able to enter a code into it. The restuarant's service was just as slow. There were 3 tables, waited over an hour for food. At the bar I waited for 20min, then I just walked, because the woman was clearly doing better things. Didn't even stay for breakfast at all, just wanted out.

It was nice but not outstanding, perhaps a bit expensive.

The shower head leaked and all the water squirted all over the bathroom, we resorted to hanging a towel over the shower head to prevent the water from spraying. There were a group of people on the grass area outside our room (room 7) that were very loud, screaming and making a noise, we found it very annoying. The staff in the restaurant were excellent and very efficient.

Vir ons omstandighede was dit 'n wonderlike verblyf. Hulle het aan al ons behoeftes voorsien.

Dit was 'n wonderlike verblyf. Die naweek was uiteraard beplan vir ons seun wat Serebraal verlam is en die verblyf het aan al sy behoeftes voldoen. Hy kon gemaklik met sy rolstoel beweeg en die badkamergeriewe was voldoende. Hy kon op die jetty gaan visvang en ons uitsig op die meer was perfek.

Although I thought I was booking a chalet (my mistake, not the hotel's), the room was excellent. If I book again, I will ask for a room that does not face towards the dining room and/or is nearer to the river. Alternatively, I will book a chalet that faces the river.

Ek was in Velddrif vir my broer se begrafnis en die mense verstaan dat jy moeg en hartseer is.

Daar was beurtkrag toe ons daar aankom maar nogtans het hulle vir ons lekker koffie (op die huis) gegee vir die ongerief. Die kamer, bed en linne was helder skoon en ons die aand heerlike, vars uit die see, vis geëet teen billike prys. Die personeel was almal erg vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Gerieflik, maar het baie ruimte vir verbetering.

Die ontvangsdame was baie vriendelik, maar het geen idee gehad dat ons al reeds die volle bedrag betaal het nie en het gevra vir 'n bewys van betaling wat ek gelukkig saam met my geneem het. Ons kamer was geleë direk oorkant die was- en strykkamer en die dames wat skoon maak het baie vroeg die oggend begin raas en kliphard gesels en deure oop en toe geklap van 'n kas wat voor ons deur gestaan het wat die gevolg gehad het dat ons nie 'n bietjie kon laat slaap nie.

Comfortable, but has a lot of room for improvement.

The receptionist was very friendly but had no idea that we had already paid the full amount and asked for proof of payment which I luckily took with me. Our room was located directly opposite the laundry and ironing room and the cleaning ladies started making noise very early in the morning and talking loudly and slamming doors from a closet that was in front of our door which had the result that we could not sleep a bit.

It is a very awesome place.

I just love the West Coast feel of it. Toes in the sand, cool sea breeze blowing through your hair and the heat of the blazing sun on your face, what more could you possibly want. The chalet's are fully equipped and very neat and tidy. I personally loved the indoor braai. We had a wonderful experience, my family can't wait to go back. Riviera, see you guys real soon.

Koel windjie en vriendelike plek.

Op die stoepie is daar mooi uitsig oor Bergrivier en sommer naby 'n visvangplekkie. Lekker windjie wat koel waai op daai warm dae.

Cool breeze and friendly place.

On the stoepie there is a nice view of Bergrivier and right next to a fishing spot. Nice breeze that blows cool on those hot days.

Baie lekker rustig vir ons ou pensionarisse.

Omdat ons ouer persone is was die rustigheid in die omgewing baie lekker en het ons baie tyd op die stoep aan waterkant spandeer. Alles wat ons benodig het was daar en is die braai elke dag skoongemaak, die handdoeke daagliks vervang asook die beddegoed op die 3de dag. Die nuwe bestuur beslis 'n aanwins en is ons ook vistokke aangebied vir visvang. Keer binnekort weer terug.

Very nice, relaxing for us pensioners.

Because we are older people, we really enjoyed the peace and quiet in the area and we spent a lot of time on the stoep. We had everything we needed, the braai was cleaned every day, the towels were changed daily and the bedding were changed on the third day. The new management is definitely a good addition and we were offered fishing rods. Will go back shortly.

Baie swak.

Daar was niemand by ontvangs by aankoms nie, het iemand gevra toe kom daar 'n dame uit kroeg om my sleutel vir my te gee. Het geen inligting by ontvangs gekry nie. Baie swak. In kamer is ook geen inligtingspamflette nie. Kamer in swak toestand, matte vuil, verf dop af en die toiletsitplek, om nie eers van te praat nie, pas nie by mekaar nie. Swak. Op Sondagmiddag so 17:00 kom ek terug by hotel om te dink ek gaan 'n drankie op stoel drink en iets eet net om by ontvangs te kom, ligte af niemand by ontvangs nie en bord op by restaurant om te sê 'gesluit' en ook Maandag toe. Wel ek het sommer die Maandag vroeër uitgeklok, en ook sonder dat iemand my iets gevra het. Als was net swak daar, en baie. Die Saterdagaand het ek lekker geëet by restaurant. Sal beslis nie aanbeveel nie. Ek sê net weer dit was baie swak.

Very weak.

There was no one at reception on arrival, asked someone then a lady came out of bar to give me my key. Did not get any information at reception. Very weak. There are also no information leaflets in the room. Room in poor condition, carpets dirty, paint chipping off and the toilet seat, not to mention, mismatched. Weak. On Sunday afternoon around 17:00 I come back to hotel thinking I'm going to have a drink on a chair and eat something only to get to reception, lights off no one at reception and sign up at restaurant to say 'closed' and also on Monday. Well, I just checked out earlier on Monday, and also without anyone asking me anything. Als was just weak there, and a lot. On Saturday night I had a nice meal at a restaurant. Definitely would not recommend. I'm just saying again it was very poor.

Lekkerste lekker!

Voor ons kuier, het ek self 'n paar mense se resensies gaan lees oor hoe hul ervaringe was, sodat ek myself kan voorberei, maar ons was regtig baie aangenaam verras. Só vriendelik ontvang en verskriklik lekker gekuier in die dameskroeg - nuwe mense ontmoet, en en en. Die kinders het hulself gate uit geniet om in die riviemodder te speel. Die skoonmakers het daagliks ons binnebraai kom skoonmaak, uitgevee en drom uitgegooi, en ook skoon handdoeke en nuwe toiletrolle aangebied. Die chalets is baie gerieflik en baie volledig toegerus - al wat jy eintlik hoef saam te neem is jou klere en toiletware. Die supermark is net oorkant die pad met alles wat jy benodig en die hotel se kos is heerlik!

Most wonderful!

Before we went I read some other review to prepare myself, but we were really surprised. So warmly received and had a great time in the lady's bar - met some people etc. The children enjoyed playing in the river mud. Cleaners came daily to clean the indoor braai, sweep and empty the bin, and offered fresh towels and toilet rolls. Chalets very comfortable and fully equipped - you only need to take clothes and toiletries. Supermarket just across the road with everything you'd need and the hotel food is wonderful.

Our two night stay in the Riviera Hotel was very pleasant and comfortable.

The pizza meal we had in the "Die Pont" restaurant was not very good due to the base but the topping was tasty. Sadly the restaurant itself lacks ambiance.

Dit was heerlik om soggens wakker te skrik met die mooiste uitsig ooit, en saans na die weerkaatsing van die liggies op die meer te kyk! Priceless!

Pragtige blyplek wat ons gehad het! Rustig en perfekte plek om kinders besig te hou met visvang, stap ens.

Voldoende.

Riviera Hotel het in alles voldoen wat ons nodig gehad het in die kamer. Die yskas en haardroër was baie welkom. Die kamer het wel gelek van water toe dit deur die nag begin reën het.

Dames by ontvangs is nie opgelei. Sy kon nie my deposito vind. Met vertrek moes ek weer betaal en wag nog steeds vir 'n refund. Die dame by ontvangs kon nie 'n reversal op kaart masjien doen nie.

Was hier om Weskus te sien, sentraal geleë om oral te ry.

Met ons aankoms was ons nie eers gegroet of welkom geheet nie. Was net onmiddellik gesê: "Julle skuld ons geld". Ons het alreeds 3 weke terug die hele bedrag betaal. Ek moes eers bewys lewer wat die ontvangs nie gehad het nie. Daar was net vir ons gesê ry by die hek in, parkeer op die gras, kamer 11. Watter hek? Waar's die gras? Waar's kamer 11? Kos in die restaurant is nie wat beskryf word op die Internet nie. Droë vis, droë overdone steak, aaklige souse. Twee maal probeer en nooit weer nie. Het by ander restaurante ontbyt en ander etes geniet. Met ons laaste dag, weereens, julle skuld X bedrag. Let wel, daar was R1000 bygevoeg vir agentkommissie. Dit was onmiddellik afgetrek toe ons sê die kommissie het niks met ons uit te waai nie.

Was here to see the West Coast, central location to drive everywhere.

When we arrived they didn't even greet us, they just said: "You owe us money". We payed the balance 3 weeks before we arrived there. I had to provide proof of payment since reception didn't have it. They just told us enter by the gate, park on the grass, room 11. Which gate? Where is the grass? Where is room 11? Food in the restaurant wasn't like the description on the internet. Dry fish, dry overdone steak, terrible sauces. Tried twice, never again. Took the rest of our meals and breakfast at other restaurants in the area. On our last day, again "you owe us X amount". They added R1000 agent commission. But they deducted it immediately when we said it doesn't have anything to do with us.

Beste kliënt, baie dankie vir die terugvoering. Ons is regtig spyt dat u so 'n slegte ervaring by ons gehad het. Dit is die eerste swak terugvoering wat ons in 'n baie lang tyd ontvang. Ons vra om verskoning indien die ontvangs nie op standaard was nie. Ons het nuwe ontvangsdames (ons besef dit is nie 'n verskoning nie) en sal aandag aan u opmerkings gee. Wat die standaard van ons kos, veral ons seekos betref, kry ons net komplimente en is ons regtig jammer dat u dit so sleg getref het. Vriendelike groete, Belinda
