Not too bad.

The place was clean even though the furniture was old. There was no TV, and there was too much noise from people. Dogs were all over the property, and I couldn't get out in the morning as I was scared of the dogs. Overall, the staff was friendly.

Sal nie weer daar kuier nie dankie.

Die hele kamer was oortrek met miere. Daar was nie tee of melk nie. Geen koppies om eers koffie te drink nie. Wasbak drein is verstop. Warmwater is amper niks. Bedliggies flikker aan en af.

Swak!

Sal nie weer daar bly nie en sal die plek glad nie aanbeveel vir ander mense. Die beddens is hol gelê, geen koffiegeriewe in kamers, die klein bietjie melk in gesamentlike kombuis se yskas was suur, die stortkrane werk nie behoorlik nie. Ons vriend was in 'n ongeluk die oggend, ons kon glad nie by die hek uit nie, beide nommers was af wat gebel moes word om die hek oop te maak! Ons kon na 08:00 eers daar uit.

Weak!

Will not stay there again and will not recommend the place to other people at all. The beds are hollow, no coffee facilities in rooms, the little bit of milk in the shared kitchen's fridge was sour, the shower taps don't work properly. Our friend was in an accident in the morning, we couldn't get out the gate at all, both numbers were down that had to be called to open the gate! We could only get out of there after 08:00.

More for bikers and backpackers.

This place has so much potential but looks like it is stuck in time. The tour of the place was just the room and bar. The room we stayed in was so outdated and not the cleanest. Owners were okay. Dogs were very cute. Our room was not the safest due to our door that didn't lock and the people who kept walking past our door. Even if the owner explained the loudness, I'm just disappointed they didn't respect the people sleeping here.

Baie netjies, pizzas was bitter lekker.

Het verblyf gesoek vir net 1 nag, het Om die Dam-wedloop gedoen. Tropicana bied verblyf vir net 1 nag, wonderlik, meeste plekke 2 of meer aande. Kamers was netjies, heerlike pizzas vir aandete. Kan beslis aanbeveel.

Dirty, unkempt, neglected and creepy!

Bunch of hair in the shower. Frog in one bathroom, poof lying everywhere. Beautiful big lovable dogs - covered in ticks. Under the cushion of one of the chairs was change and other items. Not cleaned at all. Is generally DIRTY and neglected. If I had a choice, I would not spend the night there.

Nie die skoonste verblyf nie.

Kamers was redelik netjies. Maar handdoeke het gate in en ruik nie lekker nie. Badkamerlig werk nie, waaier werk nie, bedlampies werk nie, stortgordyn is vuil, stortwater tap nie uit nie en staan in 'n plas water wanneer jy stort. Kroeg is baie duur met hulle koeldranke. Geen ketel, koppies of mikrogolf in die kamer nie. Moet dit nie verwag nie. Maar anders as dit, was die bed mooi opgemaak.

Not the cleanest accommodation.

Rooms were quite neat. But towels have holes in them and don't smell good. Bathroom light doesn't work, fan doesn't work, bedside lights don't work, shower curtain is dirty, shower water doesn't drain and stands in a puddle when you shower. Bar is very expensive with their soft drinks. No kettle, cups or microwave in the room. Don't expect it. But other than that, the bed was nicely made.

I was not shown the kitchen. The noise from the bar was terrible.

On arrival, the lady showed us our rooms and the lounge only. We only saw the kitchen at Tropicana Lodge & Function Venue on the last day of our stay. We struggled to organize the braai, from cleaning the braai stand to cooking. Then, the same night, there was a terrible noise from the bar, like a live band or something. I couldn't sleep until 2 am.

Sal nie die lodge vir enige reisiger aanbeveel nie.

Sal nie die lodge aan enigeen voorstel terwyl die huidige eienaars daar is nie. Ons het daar oorgebly op Saterdag 2de September 2023. Die kamer is glad nie na wense nie, die bed is so hol geslaap dit voel of jy in 'n boot lê, die musiek was oorverdowend en ons kon glad nie slaap nie, ek het 00H30 opgestaan en die eineaar gaan vra (hy sit in die kroeg) wanneer gaan die musiek ophou of om dit sagter te sit want ons kon nog glad nie slaap nie, hy antwoord my toe baie arrogant, as ons nie van die musiek hou nie sal hy ons geld teruggee en ons kan die perseel verlaat. Na ons 'n paar woorde gewissel het, het ons maar opgepak nogsteeds met oorverdowende musiek in ons ore en die lodge verlaat om 01H00 terug Benoni toe. Ons is gereelde reisigers en slaap gereeld oor, nog nooit so 'n arrogante eienaar teëgekom nie, en dit by 'n lodge! Lyk my die kroeg en drank is vir hom meer belangrik as die oorslaapgaste wat ook betaal vir diens.

Would not recommend the lodge to any traveller.

Would not recommend the lodge to anyone while the current owners are there. We stayed there on Saturday 2nd September 2023. The room is not at all to our liking, the bed is so hollow it feels like you are lying in a boat, the music was deafening and we couldn't sleep at all, I have 00H30 got up and went to ask the guy (he is sitting in the bar) when is the music going to stop or to turn it down because we still couldn't sleep at all, he answered me very arrogantly, if we don't like the music he will return our money and we can leave the premises. After exchanging a few words, we packed up still with deafening music in our ears and left the lodge at 01H00 back to Benoni. We are frequent travelers and frequent overnighters, never encountered such an arrogant owner, and this at a lodge! It seems to me that the bar and drinks are more important to him than the overnight guests who also pay for service.

Kan werk aan 'n paar goed.

Is dalk beter om gaste in te lig dat daar nie 'n kragopwekker is nie. Gaste kamers se krane moet aan gewerk word. Watervloei is baie swak.

Tropicana Lodge & Function Venue 's response

Baie dankie vir u terugvoer. Die watervloei was heelwaarskynlik beinvloed deurdat die tenk nog nie volledig vol was na kragonderbreking nie. Ons beskik wel oor "n kragopwekker en kan nou glad nie bepaal wanneer u hier was of hoe laat die onderbreking onstaan het nie, of vir hoe lank dit geduur het nie. As 'n reel skakel ons hom net in werklike nood aan.

Yskas was af en geen plek om in te prop nie, moes eie kragverlenging gebruik. Lugversorging het geraas, so het dit nie gebruik nie. Geen koffie en tee beskikbaar nie, moes gaan vra en toe werk die ketel ook nie. Wou ons ekstra vra omdat hulle ons opgradeer het.

Onplesierig.

Ek en my man het deurgereis vir 'n troue en besluit om hier te oornag. Ons beddegoed het gate in gehad, geen water gehad toe ons moes stort nie en toilet het gelek. Ons 'gordyne' was basies deurskynend. Ons kon uit sien en in sien. Was overall nie 'n lekker oornagsessie nie. Die plek se restaurant het lekker kos, sal dít aanbeveel.

Mother and daughter break away.

When we checked in, Tanya said she would upgrade us so that we could have a room attendant. The place is very nice but attention could be paid to small things like the decor and the coffee cups that were cracked and chipped. The WiFi had also been unstable. Saturday night the power went out and when we got up Sunday morning it was still off. There was no water either. There was no one in sight to help or tell us what was going on. I then asked one of the workers to call Tanya so we could check out because it was uncomfortable like that without power and water.

Nice place, but the rooms are not entirely clean.

The place has potential, but I think they need more housekeeping personnel. The initial room we booked into was dirty (bathroom), I had to asked to be moved to another room, which was in a better state. The commune kitchen was filthy. The microwave and the fridge was very dirty. That is not a kitchen for guests who pay money to stay. I was not impressed at all.

I was not happy with the place, it was a total disaster.

Their kitchen is empty, no stuff to use except for a bar fridge and a tv. No house keeping was done. Their gates are kept locked which is good for safety but every time you need to go out you have to call someone to open the gates. I was not happy about my staying so I wont go back or recommend it to anybody.

Hi Brenda,

Sorry to hear about your unsatisfactory experience. It is a great pity though, that you didn't complain whilst you were here, then something would have been done to satisfy you. Should we have been unable to make you happy, it is our policy to give a full refund.

Never ever again.

Geyer in room. No glasses in room. Gate every time you drive you must call receive. Sometimes it is not picked up. Then you have to walk to reception. Rugby generator did not work. No rugby. Music so loud can't sleep. Wanted to give me a room that doesn't have a key because it's safe with them. Asked for a room with key. I have always been very satisfied with good sleep but now I will be careful.

Gesamentlike kombuis het bietjie aandag nodig. Kort nuwe eetgerei asook 'n mikrogolf. En die jacuzzi werk nie, hul sê die pomp is gesteel, dit was nogal 'n groot teleurstelling.

Had a great time, braai area, room, and garden very nice and tidy.

Shared kitchen needs some attention. Short new cutlery as well as a microwave. And the jacuzzi doesn't work, they say the pump was stolen, it was quite a big disappointment.

Verstopte wasbak, ou goed in yskas.

Ek is teleurgesteld in die akkommodasie. Ons wasbak was verstop. Dis gerapporteer. Dis nie reggemaak nie, want hulle het nie ekstra sleutels vir die kamer nie. Die yskas het oop yogurts ingehad, gebruikte melk en koeldrank. Ons moes vra vir 'n koppie om koffie te kan drink. Dis vir my n probleem omdat ons met Covid lewe. Hoe maak hulle hulle kamers skoon? Dis was definitief nie vir my die prys per nag werd nie. Sal nie weer daar bly nie.

Clogged sink, old stuff in fridge.

I am disappointed in the accommodation. Our sink was clogged. It's reported. It's not fixed because they don't have extra keys for the room. The fridge contained open yogurts, used milk and soft drinks. We had to ask for a cup to be able to drink coffee. It's a problem for me because we live with Covid. How do they clean their rooms? It was definitely not worth the price per night for me. Will not stay there again.

Op die webtuiste se dit B&B maar glad nie so nie.

Ek voel die plek was glad nie goed nie, ons was op 'n baie slegte manier ontvang. Dit is glad nie 'n B&B nie want daar is nie ontbyt nie al se dit so moet jy R60 by betaal nadat ons klaar R700 vir die aand betaal het. Daar was glad nie 'n ketel of koffie en tee nie. Die stort wat ons gehad het, het geen waterdruk gehad nie en het met baie min water gestort. Die water het erg uit die stort uit geloop tot in die kamer. Ek voel daar moet na die eenhede gekyk word. Sal nie aan beveel nie, daar sal na die webtuiste gekyk moet word.

On the website it says B&B but it's not like that at all.

I feel the place was not good at all, we were received in a very bad way. It is not a B&B at all because there is no breakfast even though it says so, you have to pay R60 after we have already paid R700 for the evening. There was no kettle or coffee and tea at all. The shower we had had no water pressure and showered with very little water. The water was leaking badly from the shower into the room. I feel the units should be looked at. Would not recommend, will have to look at the website.

Horrible.

Tropicana Lodge & Function Venue must be removed from the list of holiday places, it is way too old, filthy, the kitchen is the worst, bedrooms are way too small with old bedding that smells cigarette. The owner is not professional, not helpful or bother to come over and assist when we had queries. We saw her the first day we checked in and never saw her again. Every time you drive out you must call them to open the gate, so if you do not have airtime you are in trouble. The dining hall couches are torn, smelly and you just fall inside when you sit. The room is so dark because there are no windows. Their pictures are deceiving. They do not clean the yard. I do not think any amount is worth paying for the place They don't even have a proper parking space.

After the full stay was done by electronic transfer, we were confronted that we only paid a deposit. We have shown our proof of payment. It left a bitter taste.

Lekker, maar kort paar verbeterings.

Ek sal aanbeveel dat julle miskien kyk na 'n dakwaaier in die kamer. Die kamers is vreeslik warm en die een kamer se waaiertjie kon nie eers draai nie. Sit miskien maar net 'n keteltjie en bietjie koffie vir julle gaste in die kamer. En julle storte se ingange is vreeslik klein! Dit is vreeslik ongemaklik om in die stort in te kom en uit te kom. Verder was alles baie lekker.

Nice but needs improvement.

I would recommend that you look at a ceiling fan in the room. The rooms are very warm and the one room's fan couldn't even turn. Perhaps just put a kettle and some coffee for your guests in the room. And your showers' entrances are terribly small! It is very uncomfortable to get in and out of the shower. Otherwise, everything was very nice.

Nie beïndruk nie.

Die plek het verwaarloos gelyk. Verlepte blomme op die bedkassie, dooie visse in die amper leë visdam en sekuriteitshek wat nie werk nie. Badkamer is bitter klein. 'n Ketel met koffie sou ook lekker gewees het in die kamer. Die tuin was darem mooi versorg.

The place looked very neglected. Withered flowers on bedside table, dead fish in the almost empty pont and the security gate did not work. The bathroom was very small. A kettle with coffee would've been nice in the room. The garden look well manicured.

Tropicana Lodge & Function Venue 's response

Ons verskaf nie koffie fasiliteite in ons standaard kamers nie. Daar is wel 'n gemeenskaplike sitkamer met 'n koffie stasie, 55 cm DStv televisie, mikrogolfoond en 'n yskas vir kliënte se gebruik. Daar is ook insekdoders beskikbaar in die sitkamer en indien daar net gevra was sou die kliënt onmiddellik gehelp wees. Ons is 24 uur per dag beskikbaar en bly self op die perseel. Oor die toegangshek, weet ons ook nie wat fout was nie, omdat dit ook nie tot ons aandag gebring was nie.

Nie wat ons verwag het nie.

Ek gaan besigheid met myn doen naby Lodge en wou dan my mense daar laat bly het want ons is van Mpumalanga. Die volgende was nie aanvaarbaar nie: Die foto van Lodge is misleidend. Ons het nie gebly in die gedeelte soos op foto. Dit is wanvoorstelling. Daar was nie 'n prop vir die wasbak nie. Daar was nie lakens op bed nie. Net 'n duvet en matrascover. Daar was nie koffie, koppies of glase in die kamer nie. Daar was nie hangers vir jou klere nie. Daar was nie seep en shampoo vir gaste nie. Daar was nie 'n stoel in kamer om op te sit nie. Ek bly kort-kort in ander plekke en die prys per kop is dieselfde en dit is waarmee ek die Lodge vergelyk. Ek sal vir my span met hulle besoeke ander akkommodasie soek. Met al die ander gastehuise in kompetisie sou ek verwag dat die mense se plekke kompeterend sal wees. Glad nie tevrede met besoek nie.

Not what we expected.

I'm doing business on a mine near the Lodge and I wanted my people to stay there because we are from Mpumalanga. The following was not acceptable: The photo of Lodge is misleading. We did not stay in the section as seen in photo. This is misrepresentation. There was no plug for the sink. There were no sheets on the bed. Just a duvet and mattress cover. No coffee, cups or glasses in the room. There were no hangers for your clothes. No soap and shampoo for guests. No chair in the room to sit. I often stay at other places and the price per head is the same Next time I will seek other accommodation for my team. With all the other guesthouses competing for guests, I would expect this places to be competitive. Not happy with my stay.
