Good place to stay for the price.

The security lady at the gate helped me late afternoon. She was a star! Light at keyhole/remote did not work. Water pressure very low.

Daar was sigaret as in laai van bedkassie en van die ligte het nie gewerk nie.

Ek het my oorsese 2-punt prop in die kamer vergeet. Sal julle dit asb. vir my hou?

There were cigarette ashes in the drawer of the bedside table and some of the lights did not work.

I forgot my overseas 2-prong plug in the room. Will you please like me?

Aangenaam dankie.

Geen hangers in hangkas. Die lugversorger werk nie, nie warm of koud nie. Die kragprop van die televisie kort 'n koppelaar en verlengingskoord en kon dit nie gebruik nie. Die plek was netjies, skoon, en gerieflik.

No hangers in hanging closet. The air conditioner does not work, neither hot nor cold. The television power plug is missing a connector and extension cord and could not be used. The place was neat, clean, and comfortable.

Lekker vir korttermyn verblyf.

Alhoewel die plekkie presies lyk soos die foto's en die kamer vreeslik lekker was, sal ek ongelukkig moet kla oor die omgewing rondom die kamer. As jy nie omgee oor 'n klomp mense buite jou venster/badkamer nie, sal hierdie meer as perfek vir jou wees! Maar ek het glad nie my gordyne vir 'n oomblik oopgemaak nie, dit het gevoel asof almal by my plekkie se skuifdeur inkyk.

Nice for short term stay.

Although the place looks exactly like the photos and the room was very nice, unfortunately I have to complain about the environment around the room. If you don't mind a bunch of people outside your window/bathroom, this will be more than perfect for you! But I didn't open my curtains at all for a moment, it felt like everyone was looking in through the sliding door of my place.

Good

Basiese kamer, maar geen klagtes nie. Goed geslaap en was rustig. Aanbeveling: die braai-area is vêr van die kamers af. Sal voorstel dat daar nader geriewe kan wees.

Basic room but no complaints. Slept well and was peaceful. Recommendation: the braai area is far from the rooms. Would suggest that there may be closer facilities.

Het plek bespreek vir 2 aande sodat ons die skou kon geniet in Bloemfontein.

Was egter baie teleurgesteld met aankoms, moet oor n HOOP dekgras klim on bydie kluis uit tekom waar die sleutel gebere word. @14 Bains het ons die volgende befind. Bad nie gewas nie en vol hare en sand. Stort uiters vuil (swart mif). Bedegoed en kamer stink vandie rook. Het voorheen by Bains geslaap maar verseker nie weer by @14 nie.

Booked a place for 2 nights so we could enjoy the show in Bloemfontein.

However, was very disappointed on arrival, had to climb over a LOT of cover grass to get to the safe where the key is given. @14 Bains we found the following. Bath unwashed and full of hair and sand. Shower extremely dirty (black mif). Bedding and room stink from the smoke. Have slept at Bains before but certainly not @14 again.

Quintin, dis jammer dat jy ons nie ingelig het van wat jy hier geskryf het nie. Ons dra geen kennis hiervan en vra omverskoning! Wees gerus dat netheid en gemak baie belangrik is vir ons en dat ons gewoonlik baie goeie terugvoer kry oor die gerief van die kamer.

Frustrerend met aankoms en vertrek. Ontvangs weet nie van reëlings met betrekking tot sleutels vir eenheid nie.

Kamer vuil met papiere en ander voorwerpe agter bedkassies en ander meublement. Stortdreinering was verstop. Staan enkeldiep in afvoerwater. Stortkop ook verstop met sowat 3 straaltjies water wat spuit. Moet rondspring om nat te word. Ek het self gereedskap in my voertuig gaan haal om die dreinering te herstel en ook die stortkop afgehaal en al die verstopte gate geopen en teruggeskroef.

Frustrating with arrival and departure. Reception does not know of arrangements regarding unit keys.

Room dirty with papers and other objects behind bedside tables and other furniture. Shower drain was clogged. Stand ankle deep in drain water. Shower head also clogged with about 3 jets of water spraying. Have to jump around to get wet. I myself went to get tools in my vehicle to repair the drainage and also removed the shower head and opened and screwed back all the clogged holes.

Okay, but not really pet friendly.

The unit was very clean and neat. However the parking is quite a bit away from the unit and it's cumbersome if you have to park your car overnight. The security told us it was not pet friendly until we showed him the communication with the booking agent.

Cramped.

The room and the kitchen area are in one space and feel very cramped. The basin has a large crack in it. The shower needs a scrub. The positioning of the TV needs to be changed as the angle makes it impossible to watch. A very busy place.

14 @ Bains Game Lodge 's response

Hi Jenny,
Thank you for staying with us and for your review.
As per our listing and photos, it is a bachelor unit thus the room consists of two single beds and a kitchenette, and of course our full separate bathroom. Since your visit, the basin has been replaced by a brand new one. Thanks for your suggestions.

Nice to stay, but no longer than 4 nights.

It was strange to find only on arrival about the separate accommodation apart from the hotel. Went to the reception and they knew nothing about my booking and only after I showed them my booking they handed me the keys and I had to ask how to get there and still got directed wrong. It was advertised on the web that facilities at Bains has WiFi ─ there were none. Basin in bathroom was badly broken, mixer tap was not working properly, no adjustable shower head - as good as an open pipe. No working TV for first 2 days. Breakfast served in the hotel was definitely a big mistake: cold food, staff did not make an effort to make customers comfortable. Nearby tea gardens serve much better variety at similar pricing. After speaking to the owner, she attended to the majority of the problems and was always just a call away. On my arrival in Bloem, she was courteous to give me directions to Bains. Taking everything in one, I enjoyed the stay, but it would have been better if none of the above defaults were present. But have to commend the owner that she was available 24/7 and made a plan.

Hi Ronen,

Thank you for staying with us and thank you for your review. We are glad we could assist you and make your stay more comfortable. Kindly note that the basin and shower head have been replaced, thank you for your suggestion.

'n Lekker restaurant, Red Oak, binne die terrein! Baie stil gebou, maar 'n kat dwaal rond en los mis op grasperk reg voor die deur.

Die kamer benodig 'n nuwe stortkop en stortdrein skoonmaak, 'n tweede stel badhanddoeke en badkamermat, potdeksel handvatsels, vadoeke, skottelgoedseep, en 'n tweede stoel. TV-opvangs en kanale kan verbeter word.

A nice restaurant, Red Oak, within the grounds! Very quiet building, but a cat wanders around and leaves droppings on lawn right in front of the door.

The room needs a new shower head and shower drain cleaning, a second set of bath towels and bathroom rug, pot lid handles, dish towels, dish soap, and a second chair. TV reception and channels can be improved.

Baie dankie dat julle by ons gebly het en vir die resensie! Daar is ten alle tye twee stelle handdoeke beskikbaar vir ons gaste aangesien die kamer 2 persone akkommodeer. Soos geadverteer is dit ‘n selfsorg-eenheid en word ‘n nuwe stel handdoeke nie elke dag voorsien en vervang nie. TV kanale is standaard en vorm deel van die DSTV bouquet soos ons aandui. Ons waardeer die voorstel van ‘n badmatjie en dit is intussen aangebring.

Ons is baie bly dat die eenheid lekker stil en privaat was. Die maklike en kontak-vrye self-incheck opsie word deur baie gaste verkies.
