Terrible Experience!

This was by far the worst accomodation I have ever stayed at! I was given a room off on the side of the property, the aircon was not working (after I had specifically asked as it was 38 degrees there) - they did re-gas it on the second day, only to have no electricity for most of the evening, I was then informed that they do not have generators or back up power. When I enquired about the restaurant that is advertised, I was told that you need to tell them before hand that you want to eat there and the lady will prepare the food, there is no restaurant to sit at. When asking for the WiFi password as there is zero signal, I was treated like a criminal! They informed that they do not hand out the password and if I wanted to connect I would need to bring my devices to their office. I travel for business, so I needed to connect my laptop and phone, I am not comfortable handing my valuable items over to people that dont even have the decency to put a shirt on when welcoming new guests to their lodge.

Absoluut swak en pateties.

R560 vir 'n Wendy-huis. Dit lyk glad nie soos op die internet nie. Die toilet werk nie, daar is nie water om mee te was nie. Die diens is uiters uiters swak. Ons kos wat ons bestel het was peperduur.

Absolutely weak and pathetic.

R560 for a Wendy house. It doesn't look like it does on the internet at all. The toilet does not work, there is no water to wash with. The service is extremely extremely poor. Our food that we ordered was very expensive.

The accommodation was adequate, but I would advise that the travelers should rather book the luxury rooms and not even consider the economy rooms.

I booked the economy room, upon arrival was shown the economy room and the luxury room. The Economy room was not exactly to my liking but I would stay there if I hated no other choice. People state that the rooms are displayed sincerely or the Lekkeslaap web home. They must either be properly shown or not sacrificed. The young lady and I then agreed that I would rather use the deluxe room at no additional cost which I welcomed. What is a better concern is the security of the Lodge, the sliding gate does not function, and there is no fence next to the sliding gate. As another traveler mentioned the lab room ventilation can be annoying if you are in a room closer to the fence, maybe the management can address the lab room to turn off the ventilation if not in use. Otherwise, I see potential for the destination.

Dit was absoluut teleurstellend.

Die swakste diens en akkommodasie wat ek nog beleef het. Niks van wat ek hier gevind het, wys op die webbladsye van die plek nie. Nie almal ry viertrekvoertuie nie. Die pad vanaf die hoofpad is swak. Houthuisies staan ingeryg. Binne-in die hut lyk dit nie veel aanloklikker nie. Een enkelhoutbed met vuil kolle op die mat. Toiletrol met 'n paar velletjies op die rol. Bakkies met koffie, tee en geen suiker. Vuil teelepel vol droë koffiepoeier. Op die perseel, regs langs die hut waarin ek moes bly, is 'n enorme masjien wat permanent loop met 'n gedruis soos min. Plus punt: lug reëling. Ek het R844 betaal vir een nag se oorslaap. Twee dae bespreek. Ek bly nie nog 'n dag langer hier nie.

It was absolutely disappointing.

The worst service and accommodation I have ever experienced. Nothing I found here shows up on the web pages of the place. Not everyone drives four wheel drive vehicles. The road from the main road is poor. Wooden houses are lined up. Inside the cabin it doesn't look much more appealing. One single wooden bed with dirty spots on the carpet. Toilet roll with a few sheets on the roll. Bowls with coffee, tea and no sugar. Dirty teaspoon full of dry coffee powder. On the premises, right next to the hut in which I had to stay, is an enormous machine that runs permanently with a noise like few. Plus point: air arrangement. I paid R844 for one night's stay. Booked two days. I will not stay here another day longer.

Beautiful surroundings next to the river.

Beautiful surroundings. Tranquility next to the river. Noise at night due to neighbor's 24 hour work.

We slept well there as we were on transition.

Die stortdrein is nie goed nie. Iets moet gedoen word om die badkamer reukvry te maak. Die omgewing is baie mooi.

Unsatisfied.

Our guys were not happy staying at Steelpoort River Lodge. They were basically staying in little wendy houses with no doors between the sleeping area and the bathroom. We will not book there again.

Steelpoort River Lodge 's response

You forgot that you booked the economy rooms without bathrooms and we upgraded you to rooms with own bathrooms at no extra cost. The sleeping area is 4 m x 3,5 m with concrete floors, fully carpeted with new beds. Only the outside is made of wood, nothing else. But you yourself told us beforehand that the people is full of nonsense and the company are not willing to pay for luxury rooms. Some things in life can not be blamed for our own shortcomings.

Die plek is onaanvaarbaar!

Dis nie 'n goeie plek nie, veral aangesien ek nie rook nie en als in die kamer vol sigaretrook was.

The place is unacceptable!

It's not a good place, especially since I don't smoke and everything in the room was full of cigarette smoke.
