Dankie dat u die tyd geneem het om 'n resensie te los. Die sonkrag- en gasstelsel is beslis 'n seën, ons gaste besef nie eers as daar beurtkrag is nie. Ons is bly u het u verblyf by ons geniet en vertrou dat op u volgende reis na die area sal u weer van ons geriewe gebruik maak. Groete, Shonalanga Lodge

Sal ongelukkig nie die lodge weer gebruik nie.

Baie netjies akkommodasie. Ontvangspersoneel baie behulpsaam, maar ongelukkig 'n baie lawaaierige omgewing. Gaste wat die akkommodasie vir die verkeerde rede bespreek.

Shonalanga Lodge 's response

Goeie dag,
Baie dankie dat u ons geriewe gebruik het. Ons is baie teleurgesteld dat u nie 'n aangename ervaring gehad het nie. Ons lodge self is gewoonlik stil, maar daar is soms gaste wat ander gaste nie in ag neem nie. Ons vra omverskoning vir die ongemak wat dit veroorsaak het en hoop dat u dit sal heroorweeg om in die toekoms by ons te bly.

Semi okay.

Ons het vooraf reëlings getref om vroeër in te boek, en is gesê dat hulle seker sal maak ons drie kamers is reg. Dit het nie gebeur nie. Ons kamer het net een koffie gehad en ons ouers se kamer het glad nie handdoeke gehad nie. Ek dink regtig, aangesien die water nie drinkbaar is nie, en vir die prys wat ons betaal het, dat hulle 'n bottel water in die kamer kon gesit het.

Disappointed in the quality.

There was no toilet door, the airconditioning took 3 hours to warm the room so it obviously needs regassing, the hot water tap was broken so water ran all night, the clothes cupboard was a mess, there were no rugs on the cold tiles and the parking was inadequate. We felt like we were given the worst room in the establishment! It is advertised that you can check-in from 14:00. We arrived at 14:30 only to find the room was not yet cleaned and the beds were unmade. We had to leave and kill time until we could return to a clean room later on.

Ons het skade aan ons voertuig opgedoen langs die pad wat herstel moes word. Bo en behalwe die heerlike verblyf en ontbyt het die personeel uit hul pad gegaan om ons te help om weer terug op die pad te kom. Julle is uitstekend, nogmaals baie, baie dankie!
