The experience exceeded our expectations.
We were very kindly welcomed by the host, even though we only got there very late in the evening. Our room was very clean and tidy. There was nothing we lacked. The guest house is perfectly located for people who just want to get off the main road at Harrismith and get to their destination straight away. The places to eat are also a stone's throw from there. Thank you very much for a nice experience.

If you have little expectation for a place to sleep, this place is enough. But, rest assured, the bed is uncomfortable, the shower spills, and the pipes make a terrible noise when the neighbors shower or turn on a tap. The wifi doesn't really work either, it would be good to remove this offer from the website instead.

Very bad.
Village Lodge Harrismith 's response
Dear Nombuso,
We do apologize that you had a bad experience with Village Lodge and that in our town the basic services were not available on the night of your stay. We do go the extra mile, incurring extra costs for backup water and electricity. It was just unfortunate that our generator got damaged on the day of 8th of September which meant our pumps were also unusable. Unfortunately, the electricians were only able to fix it the next morning.
If we told you "to go" we do apologise, the tone may not have been correct or the words could have been chosen better. We enjoy having guests with us and delivering the best possible service to our guests.
We've sent a private email to you to try and rectify a situation that was bigger than us and out of our control.
Note, Harrismith was without power since the 6th of September and only got power back late on the 18th of September 2022.
Kind regards,
Village Lodge Harrismith

It was only a 'stop over' and booked in the evening and out again in the morning.
The room was neat and met all requirements. There is no air conditioning, but it didn't bother me. For those purposes it was a good experience. Everything was in place, neat and the brick wall looks very modern. An option would be to provide extra coffee and milk in the room. There was not enough provision for 2 people for an evening cup of coffee and then a morning cup of coffee. It's not the worst, we bought milk and provided coffee ourselves but it would have been convenient if we didn't have to plan ourselves. Service was friendly and good and all amenities up to standard.

No hanging or packing space. Even just a few hooks on the wall to hang things on would make a difference. Because it is very small, even the luggage that has to stand on the floor is a problem. It's hard for me to judge value for money, but for the rate paid, probably good. Bathroom light switch at the entrance of the room which is very uncomfortable. A bedside light will also make a big difference.

Although I chose the economy room for 2, there was no indication anywhere that there is no table (only tray on stand), no place to hang clothes, luggage must be on the floor, only 2 coffee mugs and 2 teaspoons available which wash in the bathroom or you have to walk 30 meters to the communal kitchen. I really think that even if it's economy class any person who cares wants to hang their clothes. A pair of hooks can't cost that much. I didn't check out the other rooms, but with this one I'm extremely disappointed.

Disappointed, 2 rooms out of the 3 booked could not sleep at all due to the noise in adjacent rooms.
We were 5 persons in 3 rooms. The one pair in the executive suite, could not relax due to the noise until 00:30 at night. The caretaker had family over in our one adjoining room, and there were children. They visited over and over all night, and made so much noise with the children, that we people could not sleep. We actually sleep over to rest instead of to drive 7 hours straight with the car, now we couldn't sleep anyway. Next time we might as well drive through to Pretoria. In the other room, the single person could not sleep either - there were contract workers around her room. All night long they were moving furniture around, slamming doors, banging and knocking on her door, shouting at each other, so that it was impossible to sleep. For sure we will never spend the night there again, you certainly don't get rest in it. I spent a total of R7000 on accommodation here, but will definitely never do it again! There are also no trash cans in the room, so do you have to walk out of the shower with your towel around your body to the trash can, or do you have to throw dirt on the floor and throw it in the big trash can later? What do they think is the most unsanitary solution. Last time we already complained because there are no trash cans in the rooms. The bathroom light was blown in my room - do they ever check the rooms before letting them out? No, let it go, the customer is definitely not important here. I would have gotten more rest if I had gone to sleep directly next to the highway!

We were 5 adults and 1 baby sharing 3 double rooms for 1 night. On arrival we got a friendly welcome and all the necessary info was given. All 3 rooms have clean, neat showers, and there is a kettle and coffee in the room. The kitchen was made available for us especially to prepare our baby's bottle. Would definitely recommend Village Lodge Harrismith.

I would not easily recommend to anyone, although the place was neat. Unfortunately we were about 45 minutes late due to traffic. Although we apologized for being late, the owner/manager clearly made us understand that we can be glad he opened the gate as his check-in cut-off time is 21h00. I understand that, but if you encounter a problem, at least it must be understood.
