This place has been struggling since the first owners sold about 20 years ago. No owner since has been able to get this place to run properly.
This hotel is just a bad version of what it was 20 years ago. The BREAKFAST room has BLACK table cloths !!!!!! Who died???? The staff are DISINTERESTED in doing their jobs. The hotel was EMPTY with no customers! The noise levels are terrible. The rooms are BORING and the NOISE and LIGHT that comes through the gaps in the door are unbelievable.

Clean and location
The 2nd restaurant closed early
Nothing at all this time unfortunately. Regretted my booking.
I actually booked the stay specifically to have a relaxed and peaceful day at the dam, with the intention of enjoying some quiet time, relaxation and tranquillity. Unfortunately, I did not experience that at all. To make matters worse, the room had a strong cigarette smell when we arrived and did not appear to have been properly aired or ventilated. Smoking had taken place in the room before our arrival and you can imagine how that made me feel as I had kids under the age of 10, as per booking least you could have done is ensure room is children safe. From the time we arrived until very late into the night, the hotel played loud music. Regardless of the variety of guests’ tastes or personal preferences, we were essentially subjected to whatever music was being played. There did not even appear to be a particularly large crowd or event that would justify the volume. The constant loud music made it extremely difficult to relax, unwind or enjoy the beautiful surroundings and scenery. It was particularly disappointing because the peaceful setting at the dam was one of the main reasons I chose to book the stay in the first place. Taken together, these issues significantly affected our comfort and enjoyment of the stay and fell well short of the peaceful, relaxing experience I had expected.
It’s very tranquil
The bed was so uncomfortable
The area the place was so amazing really worth the money
Everything was good
Exceptional, no limitations
Add microwaves in the rooms incase we need to warm up take aways
Beds were comfortable and the vicinity is great
Bath tub wasn’t clean enough and toilet has stains
Café da manhã completo, com opções mais em conta muito bem preparadas. Atendentes atenciosos sempre a disposição.
Para mim que estava sem carro a localização prejudicou, mas as recepcionistas sempre ajustaram transporte por taxi.
They must renovate their property and change funiture
Funiture is old and my heater was not working.
excellent breakfast, and excellent location
Room caperts are very old with bad smell, plse replace. The towels are also worn out, plse replace.
Everything was super !!
Neighbour was bit loud till 2:30 am ...
Friendly staff, the cleanliness, the views
Nothing
Not allowed to enter with my food, forced to buy in a restaurant
Location. Friendly staff. Beautiful establishment
The breakfast was not much of a variety
Location. Views
Bed was not comfortable. Toilet paper holder very inconvenient.
Very nice
The Communication between the receptionists.
The view from the window.
How old the hotel is. The lifts are still from the 80s. Our boys got stuck in there for 45mins. The fact that house keeping just knocks and walks in early hrs of the morning. Whether u in your underwear or sitting on the toilet does not concern them asking as they get their dirty towels. There were no do not disturb signs in the room.
Pretty resort
Facilities are extremely old and outdated. Everything needs fixing
I like how easy it was to get around and how serene and quite it was.
Nothing.
The view was exceptional 👌
There were no towels & extra blanket in the room
The buffet was quite nice. The place was very clean.
Some of the morning staff members were not friendly.
Nothing, absolutely shocking, nothing in the rooms, one towel for two people, no soaps and shampoos, NO WATER I TAPS COULD NOT EVEN FLUSH THE TOILET. We had to check out and pay again for accommodation elsewhere. I would hope the booking, com refunded half the stay. We could not get hold of you
Very bare rooms, local wedding going on the noise was shocking, one cannot stay for four days with no water
The garden area
The executive rooms had broken doors. Old TV which did not work.
The ecstatics, beautiful 👌 The ambiance is to die for
Hotel rooms are a bit dated Could do with some improvements
The food was okay, this time around the hotel was stingy with their juice - the juice glass was so tiny and they offered 2 flavors of juice to choose from.
The air-conditioning in the room was not working...it was freezing cold.They offered us a hard,not comfortable,small sofa for my 2kids to sleep on.
I liked everything! And the staff .we had a marvelous time! Even when there was a Lil issue .. we would call and immediately they would respond to it! The environment is lovely. We would particularly like to Thank George ... who works at the restaurant. He is truly amazing and a beautiful human being. You need MORE STARS! Thank you so much

Hotel needs attention
Rooms need upgrading
The view, 💕 beautiful, well maintained gardens
Upon arrival the main entrance was very dirty, it seemed like there was something that spilled and the floor dried up, The smell..like people were smoking inside the reception area
This was our second visit, and we found the entire team to be exceptionally friendly and professional. The restaurant and bar offer excellent value. Having recently stayed at a prominent hotel in Cape Town, we would unequivocally select your establishment over the other.
The breakfast was good, staff were very tentative and welcoming
The baked cakes were cold, this could of been warmed for the guests
I loved the location and the type of room
The hotel has a few minor maintenance problems such as leaky shower head, no cushions for the 2 patio chaise . Only 1 teaspoon for 2 guests.
It's an hotel
It is a bit outdated and can be cleaner
I liked the view from the room and service from staff
I wanted a facility that offers spa services to stay for one night. Before I made my booking with the hotel I called the spa and asked if I can book for a massage and if they still had slots available, the lady I spoke to said I can make the booking and that we should communicate via WhatsApp she’ll send me the package. Of which she sent than I went ahead and booked a room in the hotel since I’ll be getting the massage in the hotel. The lady from the spa never got back to me , I am very much disappointed because had I known I would not get the massage in the hotel I would have opted for another hotel that would
The breakfast was good. The area for relaxing was very good and breathtaking and very clean
None
I loved everything
Mostly outdoor
The breakfast was good, the staff was really friendly .
The rooms are a bit old .
I like the stillness of the wing we stayed in. Hence we always request a room on that side which they always accommodate us with. Room service was quick. House keeping very good.
I can't really say there was something wrong. We are always happy at Riviera
Comfortable room and bed. property has beautiful, peaceful surroundings, Excellent breakfast. Food very good and reasonably priced.
Toilet too low and paper dispenser also too low.
Poor breakfast and no service from staff. Rooms are old, neglected and mouldy
They must put shower in their rooms
Nothing
The views were amazing, the staff was friendly plus we were upgraded to luxury room ❤️
The bathroom
amazing view over the Vaal. Very good prawn starter! Very friendly staff.
the smell of the bathroom.
The food
We booked a family room that suppose to come with a double bed instead it was two single beds joined together and it kept on moving ,the was a cockroach in the bathtub
Environment
No bath in the room
The staff was really helpful and accommodating 💛 The view from our room was breathtaking, we could not get over it 😍
We had a spider scare because our chandelier (if that's what that in-room hanging light is called) had a full-blown web that implied the cleaning was at face-value. The shower floor had a dip (construction issue, I figure) which caused water to stagnate.

Areas to consider
Cleanliness
6.5/10Mixed but leans negative: multiple reports of stained toilets, unclean bathtubs, worn towels, and at least one severe incident (no water, very bare rooms).
Service
8.3/10Generally praised for friendly and attentive staff in many reviews, but occasional poor communication at reception and failures to assist (e.g., handling water outages, housekeeping privacy issues).
Location
9.5/10Frequently highlighted as a strength: great views, convenient location and easy to get around; a few guests noted it is less convenient without a car.
Room Quality
6.5/10Many comments about dated, run-down rooms: uncomfortable beds reported several times, old furniture, broken doors, non-working TVs and other maintenance issues.
Amenities
6.8/10Amenities are inconsistent or lacking: requests for microwaves, missing towels/blankets/toiletries in some stays, malfunctioning AC/heater and lifts, though grounds and garden are positive features.
Value for Money
8.3/10Mixed perceptions: some guests explicitly said the stay was worth the investment, while others felt facilities were too run down for the price.
Food and Beverage
8/10Food generally praised (buffet, breakfast) but with criticisms about limited variety, small/limited juice servings and restrictive restaurant policies for outside food.
Overall Experience
8.5/10Overall mixed: many guests enjoyed tranquility, views and a restorative atmosphere, but serious service/facility failures and noise events caused very negative stays for others.
