Baie goeie waarde vir geld oor die algemeen!

Daar was nie al die items beskikbaar op die spyskaart nie, maar kos is heerlik en water vir bad en stort is maar 'n probleem met beurtkrag verder geen klagtes nie

Very good value for money overall!

Not all the items were available on the menu, but food is delicious and water for bath and shower is just a problem with load shedding otherwise no complaints

Karaktervolle ou plekkie.

Aandete was goed, kamers oud maar goed versorg. Moenie te haastig wees in die oggend nie, dis 'n laatslaapplek. Kamers nie klankdig en water het gedurende die nag opgeraak.

Characterful old place.

Dinner was good, rooms old but well maintained. Don't be in too much of a hurry in the morning, it's a late night spot. Rooms not soundproof and water ran out during the night.

The peaceful rural accommodation and silence make it a good getaway!

Pleasant stay, good food - especially the curry lamb and large portion of schnitzel. The staff is friendly, but seems like it's "just a job" for some.

Will prefer The Wakkerstroom Hotel outside of town on our next visit.

Friendly service. Room 10 did not have a fan or air-con. No insect spray. Mosquitoes if you open the windows for cool air. View to the mountain spoiled as building and garden refuse is dumped in front of the vegetable dome. This took away from the lovely sunset and sunrises. The open patch behind the rooms needs to be tidied up. No undercover parking for guests. Breakfasts were good.

Faulty Towers.

No staff in attendance. The bathroom was dirty. No shower curtain - water messes all over the floor. Not what I expected from the advertised pictures and rating.

Gee die een 'n mis.

Baie teleurgesteld in ons verblyf. Badkamer het geen buite venster nie. Vrot drein reuk. 2de slaapkamer het geen kaste of spieël nie. Venster maak reg oop op besige sypaadjie, geen privaatheid as jy die venster wil oopmaak vir vars lug nie. Linne was gevlek, oud en geskeur. Kon nie eens 4 bekers wat dieselfde lyk kry nie. Moes vra dat vullisdrommetjies uit die kamers leeggemaak word. As dit nie was dat ons kaartjies vir die Musiek Fees gehad het nie, en dat daar basies geen verblyf beskikbaar was nie, glo ek nie ons sou hier gebly het nie.

Give that one a miss.

Very disappointed in our stay. Bathroom has no outside window. Rotten drain smell. 2nd bedroom has no wardrobes or mirror. Window opens right onto busy sidewalk, no privacy if you want to open the window for fresh air. Linens were stained, old and torn. Couldn't even get 4 mugs that look the same. Had to ask for bins to be emptied from the rooms. If it wasn't for the fact that we had tickets for the Music Festival, and that there was basically no accommodation available, I don't think we would have stayed here.

Vriendelik ontvang, lekker geslaap.

Ek is vriendelik ontvang, kamer en badkamer is billik. Weer het die DStv uitgeslaan, en die WiFi werk nie. Die kamer kan doen met opknapwerk. Ontbyt ingesluit en lekker.

I was received kindly, room and bathroom are reasonable. Again the DStv crashed, and the WiFi doesn't work. The room could do with renovation. Breakfast included and delicious.

Goeie diens, vriendelike staff en baie lekker kos. Sal net nooit weer daar slaap nie!

Kamers het enkelmure. Jy hoor letterlik die mense in die kamer langs jou snork! Geen backup vir loadshedding nie. Daar is winterlakens op die bed (begin Maart) en geen fan nie. Ons het ons bed met 'n maatjie gedeel, hy het nie oorleef nie, want sy lyk het langs my man se kopkussing gelê. So ek en my man het teruggekom met bytmerke (spinnekop). Die waterdruk is baie sleg en as daar loadshedding is, is daar geen water nie. Die toilet het dan verskriklik geraas. Ek verstaan dat die wind lekker kan waai maar die sinkdak het geklink of dit af waai. So ja tussen die mense langs ons, die wind wat die sink af waai, die waterpype wat raas (vol lug) en die hitte het ons bitter min geslaap. Ons love Wakkerstroom maar sal nooit weer in die hotel slaap nie.

Good service, friendly staff and very tasty food. Will never sleep there again!

Rooms have single walls. You can literally hear the people in the room next to you snoring! No backup for loadshedding. There are winter sheets on the bed (starting March) and no fan. We shared our bed with a friend, he didn't survive because his body was lying next to my husband's pillow. So my husband and I came back with bite marks (spider). The water pressure is very bad and if there is loadshedding, there is no water. The toilet then made a terrible noise. I understand that the wind can blow nicely but the corrugated iron roof sounded like it was blowing off. So yes, between the people next to us, the wind blowing down the sink, the water pipes roaring (full of air) and the heat, we slept very little. We love Wakkerstroom but will never sleep in the hotel again.

Fun and comfortable stay in Wakkerstroom.

Unfortunately only spent 1 night here, but was pleasantly surprised by the comfy rooms and fun and quaint character of the Wakkerstroom Hotel and our rooms. Had a really entertaining and fun time next door at the 1818 bar. Manager Nkosi was very friendly and attentive. Showers could do with more water pressure, but will definitely return when next in Wakkerstroom.

Nie 'n baie aangename ondervinding nie.

Kamerdiens was swak. Geen koffie in die kamer nie. Geen TV nie omdat die DSTV rekening nie betaal was nie. Alles het darem later reggekom nadat ek die webtuiste gebel het om the kla oor die geriewe en diens.

Not a very pleasant experience.

Room service was poor. No coffee in the room. No TV because the DSTV bill was not paid. At least everything was sorted out later after I called the website to complain about the facilities and service.
