The place itself.
TV settings weren't the best.
The staff the place it's self is clean and scenery ..I loved my stay
The showers are too tiny and shower heads outdated water was not as hot overrall small rooms but bathrooms too small I also wish they could either allow people to bring their own food and the meals are okay but not so tasty
Everything was good
Our room was at the far back,so the WFI connection was bad 😞
The breakfast was the best🤗
Nothing
We had hoped to get a room with a view, but unfortunately the layout of the hotel blocks means that only some of the rooms have a particularly good view. The rooms were functional, although somewhat small. The hotel has plenty of open space around it, which was pleasant. The restaurant was fairly average, while the breakfast was good and offered a reasonable selection. What we liked the most was its closer to the lion and safari park - thats very convenient The staff were kind, welcoming and helpful, which made our stay pleasant overall.
Room size could have been better.
Everything.
The breakfast was good
The room looked under construction and the curtains were dirty with stain marks. Windows looked like they were never washed in a long time. There was no shower head in the shower. I was offered a buffet instead of ordering from the menu…
Security Moises very humbling
Food very Bad
La literie est très confortable, la chambre et la salle de bain sont propres. Le cadre est accueillant. La restauration est bonne. Petit plus : les antilopes se promènent librement dans le parc
The staff was nice and comfortable
Breakfast was very good
Friendly stuff food was great breakfast the best!!! N dinner wasn’t bad at all the menu needs to grow tho
Menu is limited
Sitting outside in the patio
Network was bad
Service was good
Carry my luggage to and from the room without , at least if I had trolley or drive pack closer to the room
Breakfast was excellent,
shortage of slay beds by the swimming pool Restaurant does not have a variety on the menu
The staff were very friendly and accommodating.
WiFi signal strength is poor in the rooms and they need to upgrade there televisions to smart TVs.
Nothing at all
Everything about the hotel
The location is beautiful, and the staff was very good
The bed mattress was due for a change, and the room floors were a bit weatherd.
clean sheets
shower drain blockage. Rusted basin tap
The chefs did their best😋
Showers are not user-friendly. Sunday it was cold water😢
Convenient and well placed
The stuff was very nice and welcoming. They were available for any assistance.
I'm not very happy with the food, especially supper.
our room was perfect and the breakfast was perfect
on my first evening i ordered pork chops and salad from restaurant and my chops were cold, i had to request for reheat
The cleanliness of the premise, it was spotless. The garden and lawn was refreshing.
The receptionists watched us dragging luggages instead of assisting with the trolly. Secondly, they made me pay R650 for 8 balloons and non alcohol campaign without candles. Whoever decorated the room must never be allowed again. They spoiled my surprise for my woman who was turning 30. Lastly, the management must consider upgrading their TVs with recent ones like smart TV or add more sporting channels. The current system they are using is outdated for young people, we have Netflix or sports.
I liked the venue and the breakfast was very good
Dinner was not in the good standard I didnt like the shifting shower door , it is difficult to enter especial when you have weight.
Sophia she was kind made our stay a bit better. I think she is the supervisor or manager
They switched our sleeping arrangement and lie to us about braking area.
STAFF WAS FRIENDLY FOOD GREAT AND THE ATMOSPHERE 👌
The environment is cool
Employees thy treat clients in a good manner
Excellent service
The place it's nice and peaceful, hospitality from staff 100%,the view is refreshing 👌
The price of alcohol is too expensive. Also alcohol from outside is not allowed thats not good business
The service given by the staff
The TV and the air conditioner was not reaching the living room, it was too cold
Cleanliness
Nothing
I like the location.
The shower had no pressure and the water was shooting out in all directions. When we got to breakfast. It was ready at 7am. The staff were still setting up. Took about 7-10min of waiting for them to bring everything out and start the egg station. We also booked two rooms on the same booking and we were allocated rooms far from each other.
Everything
N/A
The place is very nice and quiet
The did not clean our rooms we left early in the morning we came back late around 17h45 our rooms was not clean even the shower
Food (Breakfast and dinner) was good. The room was good but the shower room is too small. Otherwise the room was comfortable , the heater was working. Your TV does not have many chanel options, not sure if you can consider increasing
The shower was too small, it was difficult to shower because the space is small especially for big bodied people. If you could also include a microwave in the rooms, it would be great.
I liked to see the ostrich was very tame and the buck And I liked the part scenic Mountain View and peacefulness
All staff very unpleasant and non-informative Bar service was poor (got orders wrong) Billiard and entrainment advertised are non-functional The included breakfast was undercated and unorganised
Breakfast was nice
There was no bar fridge and microwave,
The staff was very accommodating and friendly. I would visit again.
No bar fridge in room.
Quiet and Neat
None
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel. The place was very clean, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was top-notch. The only issue I experienced was that the water was cold. Apart from that, everything was excellent, and I was happy with my stay.
The water which was cold
Best customers service! And the food was too nice
The ambiance and aesthetic
Their breakfast place does not accommodate all of the rooms on the property there was no place to sit
The staff were amazing and friendly
Nothing to dislike
The white sheets, the room was clean .
The water was cold because they forgot to switch on the geyser the day before when the main switch tripped, it took long for the water to warm up.i like that they were able to assist and they apologised for it .
I like everything from the room to the amazing breakfast and the privacy and the location exceptional
.
.
Breakfast was good and even better that its served early.
Nothing really, just think maybe check out could be better if it was maybe 11-12. 10 its a bit early coz one has to wake up and have breakfast then prep to leave still . And also maybe a mini fridge in the rooms.
Aircon and extra blankets kept us warm. Breakfast was good!
Toilet smells like sewer. Try to wash and flush it everyday even if there are no guests.
Was fine the way it was.
Please add vegetarian options without meet for lunch and dinner.
The breakfast was excellent, other than the fact that they don't cater to guests that don't eat beef or pork.
The room air conditioner was very noisy; at night, there was noise from the air conditioning of the units next door. Beds were uncomfortable. The restaurant menu is limited. There was no hot water in the morning at around 9am.
Breakfast perfect
Smart TV with netflix
The property is beautiful and well kept. The pool and animals walking around was a nice. The location is also very good.
The lighting in the bathroom. More lights are needed
Warm water in the bathroom. The room was warm as well.
I would have preferred there be a table tennis. Whenever the food was served,you have to request for saviet or towel.
There is absolutely no faults. The staff is friendly and attentive. Everyone is amazing here🥰😘
Check out time should maybe be extended. I know it is policy for all the hotels.
Location
TV doesn't have dstv, couldn't watch world cup matches
The place was so tranquil. Easy to fine. Staff is exceptional - they are so kind. The food was amazing.
The warm reception from all staff members and they even went extra mile on some demands
None,everything was as expected
The staff was very professional
The bedding was disorganized,the ceiling job on roof was bad.bathroom basin had some bad odor
The rooms were clean and the air-conditioning kept us warm
The breakfast (sausages , vianna, omelette) were not tasty. Consider having carpets in the bedrooms
We stayed here for our honeymoon and from check-in to checkout the staff were fantastic! The duty manager,Patrica was the warmest and most helpful host. The breakfast was lovely and prepared fresh (right in front of you), stepping out of the room and seeing wildlife around us felt almost enchanting. The spa on the premises had an absolutely stunning garden and our masseuses created a very comfortable atmosphere for our relaxation.
The WiFi was a bit spotty and we got dropped off the network often but that didn't hinder our enjoyment.
It was good
A great place for a get away! The rooms were clean and spacious. The staff were friendly and the food in the restaurant was great.
It was difficult to find the room.

Bedroom

The place was great and very clean and overall the staff was great
The rooms where far from the parking and not friendly for older people the staff didn't know how to assist, the hotel wants the patrons to support the restaurant but don't know how to help older people who battle to walk to to get from a bottom room (65) to the restaurant and the next day to attend a paid breakfast sadly the but also great action by the staff when a agresif and very villains situation killed a beautiful Sunday breakfast (hope the culprit is paying for that, there where small children and a baby what IA ashamed situation hope he is band forever and Orion hotels will announce it as it surly had an negative effect on the children our boy didn't want to eat his breakfast anymore 😒😒😒😒
The property was fine.
Right to reserve admission is not only for the comfort of staff but for the safety and security of your clientele. Allowing admission to someone so drunk and keeping clients out of sleep due to the disturbance was bad enough but when the same client caused a scene, breaking crockery etc in the restaurant threatening to kill the catering manager in front of guests some of them young children, that is beyond the pale. Just like him, I was a paying guest who follow all rules and behaved accordingly but my stay was ruined due to the fact that he was allowed to stay and be disrespectful to all your guests by his behaviour. So disappointed in the decision makers here.
The fire every night
The bed was too hard, not confortable at all
Clean well maintained
There isn’t much that one can do
Clean and comfortable, easy to find. Friendly staff
N/A
I only enjoyed the breakfast.
The bed was not what I asked for. They used two single bad to make double bed and it wasn't comfortable.
Service Stuff Food Security
They're need to provide more equipment in the room like bins, plate for food, microwave and telephone to communication with a receptionist.
Honestly what I like the most was the friendly staff who were following orders, when we complained they lessened to us and offer to assist or make our stay comfortable, thank you to Sis Patricia for going over and beyond. The food was great. The sheet was excellent. But the picture we sold online and reality of the venue is not the same. The room was too small we felt squashed, no space for movement, I think this is designed for school camps for scholars not adults. The reception gave us the key without being activated, then the lights were not on I literally wanted to cancel the booking but the lady at reception spoke friendly to us and we decided to stay nonetheless. Pictures are not giving true reflection of the venue. No activities on side, maybe they can consider warm pool and a little bit of hiking trails for starters
1. The size of the room 2. The fact that there are no activities 3. No carpets on the floor 4. No couches 5.Bar fridge
