Great stay.

We were upgraded to their sister lodge - due to water problems. Their service was fantastic.

Very pleasant. Staff very friendly and helpful. Was a bit worried about car being parked across the road and having to cross the street to get to the room.

Overall, was happy and likely to recommend and use Sabie Travel Lodge again in future. Looked for a pool but it was empty. Just a suggestion for the hotel to maintain the pool.

Glad nie die geld werd nie.

Gordyne kan skaars die venster bedek. Voorste ingangshek werk nie, so enige iemand kan inkom tot by jou kar of blyplek. Miere orals in plekke. Glad nie waardeer vir geld nie. Onveilig en nie die geld werd nie.

Not worth the money at all.

Curtains can barely cover the window. Front entrance gate does not work, so anyone can get into your car or residence. Ants everywhere in places. Not value for money at all. Unsafe and not worth the money.

Klein, gerieflike slaapplek.

Die huisie is redelik goed toegerus, nie 5-ster toegerus nie, maar al die nodige is beskikbaar. Die huisie kort bietjie aandag, maar alles wat nodig is werk en is beskikbaar. Dis in die middel van al die plekke in Sabie wat baie gerieflik is, maar die spasie is redelik beperk. Vir 'n groep van 4 of minder is dit baie goeie slaapplek om alles in Sabie te besigtig en te beleef.

Small, comfortable place to sleep.

The cottage is quite well equipped, not 5-star equipped, but everything you need is available. The cottage needs some attention, but everything needed works and is available. It's in the middle of all the places in Sabie which is very convenient, but the space is quite limited. For a group of 4 or less, this is a very good place to sleep to see and experience everything in Sabie.

Review based on log cabins.

Accommodation was affordable, but expected better after I had seen the photos. Units are equipped for basic needs, bedding seemed clean - beds are very hard though. Overall experience - 5/10.

Sabie is a very nice place.

I booked a self-catering but when we went to see what was on offer it was so disappointing. What is seen on the Internet and what you get are not the same. There was no fridge in the room.

Great potential. But so disappointing in the end!

Sadly the room looked nothing like the pictures advertised - it was small and cramped. The place is really quite run down and not the cleanest. It was "self catering" but the condition of the cookware was so bad (rusted and dirty) that we opted to eat out instead. Electrical cables on the cooker were also damaged and repaired with clear sellotape instead of proper electrical tape. The room had spiders in the bed - great for a good fright! Cupboards were falling apart. The breakfast nook table could not be dropped down from the wall as the TV stand prevented this, meaning there was no table to use in the room. The gates for the chalet area were left open all night - so not much safety available. For the price paid, and for what is available in the area at similar prices, I am very disappointed.

Glad nie wat verwag was nie!

Eerste eenheid se TV het gebrand toe ons hom aansit. Dis 'n vreeslike ou TV en eenheid glad nie aangenaam nie. Toe geskuif na ander eenheid wat 'n bietjie beter was!

Kamers lyk glad nie soos adverteer nie. Kamer was nie baie netjies opgemaak nie. Kamer was ook baie vuil gewees en die hele plek het net ‘n slegte vibe.

Was aaklig en net 'n plek om te slaap.

Ons is in 'n kamer gesit wat ons nie verwag het ons voor betaal nie, my seun kon skaars TV kyk die tydjie wat ons wel daar was, ander kamers het groot TV's met pragtige beeld gehad en ons het n klein boks-TV gehad met 3 kanale vir grootmense en was sneeuvlokkies heeltyd. Saterdagaand moes ek ontvangs skakel oor 'n voertuig reg onder ons venster so hard musiek gemaak het, na ek geskakel het, het dit steeds aangegaan vir 45 min, dit was 21:45. Terselfdertyd het dronk mense die balkon besit en was hard en kinders het in die gange op en af gehardloop en skree en teen die mure en deur geklop. Dit wat ek betaal het en die bedrag op hul intekenpapier was baie anders en net 1 kind het saamgekom. Jy loop nog so dan kraak die teëls onder jou.

Was horrible and just a place to sleep.

We were put in a room we didn't expect we paid for, my son could barely watch TV the time we were there, other rooms had big TVs with a beautiful picture and we had a small box TV with 3 channels for adults and washing snowflakes all the time. Saturday night I had to call reception about a vehicle right under our window playing music so loud, after I called it was still on for 45 min, it was 9.45pm. At the same time drunk people owned the balcony and were loud and children were running up and down the corridors shouting and banging on the walls and door. What I paid and the amount on their subscription paper were very different and only 1 child came along. You're still walking like that, then the tiles crack under you.

Dit was baie aangenaam.

Ons het dit baie geniet om by Travel lodge Sabie te woon tydens ons kort vakansie. Die dame by ontvangs was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die kamers was skoon en elke dag skoon gemaak. Die enigste probleem is dat die gordynreelings en badkamerreelings van die muur af val en die dakwaaier ook baie los is, maar verder was dit baie aangenaam gewees.

It was very pleasant.

We really enjoyed our stay at Travel Lodge Sabie during our short vacation. The lady at reception was very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and serviced every day. The only problem was that the curtain rails and bathroom rails were falling off the wall and the ceiling fan was also quite loose. Apart from those we enjoyed our stay.

Die instandhouding van die kothuise laat ruimte vir verbetering.

Die kothuis was netjies en skoon maar die krane by die wasbak was heeltemal los, die deur van die badkamer (skuif tipe) was nie onder in sy spoor nie. Ek voel die instandhuoding kan opgeskerp word. Die ontvangs was goed en die personeel bedagsaam.

The maintenance of the cottages leaves room for improvement.

The cottage was neat and clean but the faucets at the sink were completely loose, the door of the bathroom (sliding type) was not in its track. I feel the maintenance could be stepped up. The reception was good and the staff attentive.

In need of maintenance

Our cabin was very cold and although clean, some maintenance was sorely needed. The taps leaked, the shower curtain railing was in need of repair, the bathroom door couldn't close properly. and was difficult to manage. and there was visible mould on the ceiling and tap. There was no two-point plug anywhere in the cabin or provision for two-point appliances, like cell phones. One of the mattresses kept sliding off the bed, due to it being worn out, and one of the kitchen chairs was completely unusable. Its top was loose and the screws were missing. The front door didn't lock without being pushed and tweaked and still remained quite loose in its hinges and one of the slats on the balcony was completely loose and broken, causing risk of injury to a small child. The staircase was very precarious and we had to block it off for our children, causing great discomfort.

Fantastiese kliëntediens.

Daar was 'n misverstand t.o.v. satelliet-TV en DStv-geriewe in die kamer. Daar is nie DStv nie en vir ons gesin was dit belangrik om in die aand na 'n lekker dag uit te kan ontspan met goeie TV-programme. Die bestuurder het ons onmiddellik gehelp om alternatiewe verblyf te kry, sy het werklik uit haar pad gegaan om ons te help sonder dat dit ons enige ekstra geld gekos het.

Fantastic customer service.

There was a misunderstanding regarding satellite TV and DStv facilities in the room. There is no DStv and for our family it was important to be able to relax in the evening after a nice day out with good TV programmes. The manager immediately helped us find alternative accommodation, she really went out of her way to help us without costing us any extra money.

Nare ondervinding.

Ons het 2 nagte daar tuisgegaan, maar dit was nie aangenaam nie. Ontvangs het nie ons bespreking gehad nie. Die selfsorg-houteenheid is nie 'n opsie om te kies nie a.g.v. die feit dat die voordeur nie veilig sluit nie. Ruimte is vreeslik beknop. Badkamerdeur kon nie toeskuif nie. Die bad het swart skimmel en die krane in die eenheid lek. Dakwaaiers was lendelam en die handdoeke het nie vars geruik nie.

Terrible experience.

We stayed there for 2 nights but it wasn't pleasant. Reception did not have our booking. The self-catering wooden unit is not an option because of the fact that the front door does not lock. Space is very limited. Bathroom door could not close. The bath had black mildew and the taps in the unit leaked. Fans were rickety and the towels did not smell fresh.

Travel Lodge Sabie 's response

I appreciate the review. We always try to better our standards where possible. We are sorry for the service that you received from our establishment.
The cabins do have improvements that we’ve been busy with in the last 2 weeks.
This is the list that we are working with at the moment, some are done and last should be done by the end of the week:
• All bathrooms and kitchen sinks have been treated for mould, and new silicone was put around the baths and basins.
• The surface where the stove/ oven stands on is being tiled.
• The tables and chairs on the deck were replaced with new ones.
• New dustbins were placed at each unit.
• Where bathroom doors struggle to close, they have been fixed.
Once you called Lekkeslaap to lodge your complaint, we offered you, the client to move to an alternative Lodge, Floreat Riverside Lodge. Which is 3 star, and is a much better facility than Travel Lodge. As the rate at the Floreat is more than at Travel Lodge, we offered you to move at no extra cost. This alternative would have been much more comfortable for your family. As per the agent, Conrad and our Management you decided to remain at Travel Lodge.

Thank you
