Het hier geslaap omdat niks anders beskikbaar was nie.

My dogter was in 'n kamer nuut uitgeverf waarvan die verfreuk oorweldigend was en ook geen diefwering nie. Daar was 'n partytjie tot 3 uur in die more en geen poging is aangewend om hulle stil te maak nie. Ontvangsdame was baie goed en het ons verblyf gered as gevolg van goeie diens.

Not good.

We arrived and had to wait 45 min, after finishing a hard days work, because their systems was offline and did not book us after we received confirmation and paid fully the day before. After the website assisted us by phoning them they gave us the last room available which had 3 small beds for three adults. As I sat down on the one bed it broke. They did come and fix it. The aircon was not working and I was awaken at 2 in the morning by an aircon spitting iceblocks at me. The food was not good at all. We paid over R150 for two microwave pizzas with cheddar on.

Lafenis in 'n koel, skoon kamer

Ons was vriendelik ontvang en het 'n beter kamer gekry as waarvoor ons bespreek het. Die kamer was ruim, skoon en koel. My gesin kon ook 'n ete bestel en ons hoef nie die hitte trotseer het nie.

Raserig en geen generator tydens loadshedding.

Dit was baie raserig albei aande het ons paar keer wakker geword van raas. Die generators het nie gewerk tydens loadshedding nie, ons moes in die donker klaarmaak vir ons reis na Mosambiek, kon nie eers stort nie. Die wag het ons meegedeel die kantore is gesluit hy kan nie die generator start nie. Die bestuurder se selfoon was afgeskakel. Ons sal nooit weer daar bespreek nie.

Noisy and no generator during loadshedding.

It was very noisy, both nights we woke up a few times because of noise. The generators did not work during loadshedding, we had to get ready in the dark for our trip to Mozambique, could not even shower. The guard told us the offices were closed he could not start the generator. The manager's cellphone was turned off. We will never book there again.

Lyk glad nie soos geadverteer nie.

Sal nie weer van Buffalo Hotel gebruik maak nie. Die restaurant is uiters swak, gereelde kliënte kry voorkeer, kos is onsmaaklik en koud teen die tyd wat jy dit ontvang. Toilet, ligte en TV het nie gewerk in ons kinders se kamer nie. Gerrie by ontvangs is dit enigste rede hoekom die resensie nie swakker lyk nie.

Does not look like the advertisement.

Will not use Buffalo Hotel again. The restaurant is extremely poor, regular customers are treated better, food is unpalatable and cold by the time you receive it. Toilet, lights and TV did not work in our children's room. Gerrie at reception is the only reason why the review doesn't look worse.

Ons ervaring was baie teleurstellend.

Na 'n lang dag wou ons net 'n rukkie gaan le net voor 3 uur die middag. Skaars 10 minute later het iemand 'n sleutel in die deur probeer forseer en toe hard en duidelik aan die deur begin ruk en pluk. Toe ek my rigting vind toe maak ek die deur oop om 'n skoonmaker met haar manlike metgesel te vind wat vir my vertel hulle is: "room service just coming to check". Dit nadat ek die kamer vanaf 2 uur mag besit, en hulle het 'n sleutel. Watter veiligheid word aangebied? Met terugkoms die aand moes ons die eienaar of bestuurder bel om die hek oop te maak, geen sekuriteit aan diens. Agtererf is vol rommel en onnet. Net een koffiebeker vir 2 mense. Bestuur het wel om verskoning gevra, maar dit was egter te laat.

Our experience was very disappointing.

After a long day we just wanted to lie down for a while just before 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Barely 10 minutes later, someone tried to force a key into the door and then started pulling and plucking loudly and clearly at the door. When I found my direction I opened the door to find a cleaner with her male companion who told me they were: "room service just coming to check". This after I may own the room from 2 o'clock, and they have a key. What safety is offered? On return in the evening we had to call the owner or manager to open the gate, no security on duty. Backyard is full of litter and untidy. Only one coffee cup for 2 people. Management did apologise, but it was too late.

Bad experience.

This was bad as the first impression was not good at the entrance, work half done and left as is. The room was fine but the area around the rooms and the swimming pool was very unneat and even though they were busy with renovations, there was still a matter of tidiness that could be kept when guests are present. The reception desk was mostly empty and nobody to help and the staff was very unprofessional. We had to ask for the gate to be opened to go out and this was a disaster as we had to sit and wait for 15 minutes or more on times.

Goeie waarde vir geld, baie netjies.

Die kamers is wonderlik. Lekker groot en skoon. Die probleem is die kliëntediens en kos. Ons het nie eers teelepels gehad in die kamer om koffie te maak nie. Die ontvangs was nors toe ons gearriveer het. Kos is regtig nie lekker nie en mens wag baie lank vir jou bord kos. Sal beslis weer gaan oor die kamers en ligging, maar sal eie lepels en kos moet vat.

The rooms are wonderful. Nice and big and clean. The client service and food are the only problem. We didn't even have teaspoons in the room to make coffee. The reception was rude when we arrived. The food really isn't good and you wait a long time for your plate of food. Will definitely go again for the location and the rooms, but will have to take my own teaspoons and food.

Ons is teleurgesteld.

By aankoms is die kamer nie voorberei nie en was vuil en vol stof. Dis 'n selfsorg-eenheid met net vier koffie bekers en geen ander eetgerei nie. Nie eens borde nie. Die stortdeur is net aan een kant deur 'n stukkende stortgordyn vervang en ander helfte oop gelaat. Die TV is te klein en kan net sowel uitgelaat word. Die fotos op die webblad is baie misleidend en dit weerspieël nie die ware karakter van ons kamer en die hotel nie.

We are disappointed.

On arrival the room was not prepared and was dirty and full of dust. It's a self-catering unit with just four coffee mugs and no other cutlery. Not even plates. The shower door was only replaced on one side by a broken shower curtain and the other half was left open. The TV is too small and might as well be left out. The photos on the website are very misleading and do not reflect the true character of our room and the hotel.

Buffalo Hotel 's response

Ek vra verskoning vir die slegte ondervinding.
Buffalo hotel het geen selfsorgeenhede nie; ek is nie seker waar die misverstand ingekom het nie, jammer daaroor.
Meeste van die kamers is oorgedoen, dus geen meer stortgordyne nie.
Kamers in die hotel is verskillend en gaan dus nie noodwendig lyk soos die spesifieke kamers op die webtuiste nie.

Baie rustig en vriendelike mense.

Die personeel was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Kos was baie goed. Twee klein probleempies: Die matras was aaklig en het die slaap maar sleg beïnvloed. Daar is 'n kantgordyn voor die glasdeur wat toegang tot die kamer gee, sommige aande het mense reg voor die deur sit en kuier en kon alles sien wat in die kamer aangaan. Dit was baie ongemaklik vir my en my vrou.

Very relaxing and friendly people.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was very good. Two minor problems: The mattress was horrible and caused a lack of sleep. There is a lace curtain in front of the glass door that gives access to the room, some evenings people sat right in front of the door and could see everything going on in the room. It was very awkward for my wife and I.

Dit was baie rustig, personeel baie tegemoetkomend en vriendelik. Baie goed geleë, naby alle besienswaardighede.

Ons verblyf was baie aangenaam, verrassend om op só 'n dorpie die netjiese en mooi verblyf te kry. Personeel baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Alles was baie netjies en 'n baie rustige stil omgewing. Ideaal om lekker uit te rus en tog nog alle besienswaardighede in nabye omgewing te besoek.

Our stay was very pleasant, surprising to find such a neat and beautiful accommodation in such a village. Staff very friendly and helpful. Everything was very neat and a very peaceful quiet environment. Ideal for relaxing and still visiting all the attractions in the nearby area.

Gemengde gevoelens. Puik akkommodasie, maar bestuur en kliëntediens nie na wense nie.

Die Buffalo Hotel is 'n pragtige plek met ongelooflike geskiedenis en potensiaal. Ons het twee keer in een week daar gebly a.g.v die kamers wat baie netjies is. Met ons aankoms op 1 Desember was daar niemand by ontvangs nie, dieselfde het gebeur op 9 Desember. Daar is vir ons gesê, op navraag, dat ontbyt 6 uur soggens is. Toe ons die tweede om 6 uur by die ontbytarea opdaag, was daar niemand nie. Die tafels was vuil na die vorige aand en daar was geen keuse van ontbyt nie (alhoewel dit basies R120 per persoon beloop het), ons het lank gewag vir koffie en ontbyt en het einde ten laaste self koffie geskink. Ons wou 6:15 tot 6:30 vertrek, maar het eers om omtrent 7:15 die ontbytarea verlaat. Met ons verblyf die 9de het ons, a.g.v die vorige ondervinding, besluit om nie ontbyt te neem nie. Met ons aankoms wou ons egter aandete bestel, maar daar was 'n "verjaarsdagpartytjie vir die baas" gereël en net een tafel oop met luide musiek wat uitblêr. Ons is toe verskuif na die restaurant (wat ons nie eers geweet het bestaan nie) en dit was baie rustiger daar. Met die inboek in ons kamer, was die ontvangspersoneel nie op pos nie, 'n persoon het ons bygestaan en kon nie die kamer se elektroniese beheertoestelle kry nie, waarna hy in ander kamers se hokkies gesoek het vir beheertoestelle. Ongelukkig was die lugreëlaar se beheertoestel se batterye pap en moes ons terug ontvangs toe om dit te gaan ruil. Weereens was daar niemand by die ontvangstoonbank nie en ons moes soek na iemand om te help. Na 'n rit van sowat 12 uur vanaf Mosambiek, wou ons net slaap om die tweede been van ons reis terug huistoe aan te pak. Die verjaarsdagpartytjie het egter beteken dat ons slaap onderbreek is deur luide musiek wat kort-kort uitbasuin is. Die hotel is 'n pragtige plek, as die kliëntediens en diensareas verbeter word sal die hotel 'n diamant wees vir reisigers na en van Mosambiek aangesien dit so naby aan die grenspos is. Ongelukkig kan ek hulle nie aanbeveel vir moeë reisigers wat stilte en slaap nodig het nie.

Mixed feelings. Excellent accommodation, but management and customer service not up to scratch.

The Buffalo Hotel is a beautiful place with unbelievable history and potential. We stayed there twice in one week because of the rooms that were very neat. On our arrival on the 1st of December there was no one at reception, the same thing happened on the 9th of December. We were told, after we enquired, that breakfast is at 6. When we arrived at the breakfast venue at 6, there was no one. The tables were dirty after the previous night and there was no choice of breakfast (even though it basically costs R120 per person), we waited quite a while for our coffee and breakfast and in the end poured the coffee ourselves. We wanted to leave between 6:15 to 6:30, but only left at about 7:15. On arrival on the 9th we decided not to take the breakfast option since we had had such a bad experience the previous time, but we wanted to book for dinner. However there was a birthday party scheduled for the boss and only one table open with music blaring in our ears. We were then moved to the restaurant (which we didn't even know existed) and it was much calmer. Booking into our room, there was no one at reception. Someone came to help us, but couldn't find the room's electronic entrance card. He then rummaged through other room's boxes to find a working key. Unfortunately the aircon's remote control had a flat battery and we had to go back to reception to exchange it. Once again there was no one and reception. After driving for about 12 hours from Mozambique we just wanted to sleep so we would be able to take on the second leg of our travels. The birthday party meant that our sleep was interrupted by loud music. The hotel would be a beautiful place if the customer service is improved. Then it would be a perfect place for those travelling from and to Mozambique. Unfortunately I can't recommend this to weary travellers who need peace and quiet.

Die atmosfeer is rustig, dog is alles tot jou beskikking wat jy nodig het. Baie vriendelike personeel!

Die kamer was baie gerieflik en gesellig. Personeel is baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig, dit laat mens baie tuis voel. Al voorstel wat ek sal maak is 'n klein yskassie in die kamers, aangesien mens dit nodig kry as jy vir 'n paar dae daar bly.

The atmosphere is relaxed and yet you have everything you need. Very friendly staff!

The room was very comfortable and cosy. The staff is very friendly and helpful and they really make you feel at home. The only suggestion I have is to provide a smaal fridge in the rooms, because you might need it if you're staying there for a few days.

Aanvaarbaar maar kan beter wees.

Die kamers is mooi maar die res van die hotel kan beter na gekyk word en afgewerk word. Die ontbyt wat ingesluit is, is nie baie goed nie en daar is min in die Hectorspruit omgewing. Ons moes elke dag Malelane toe ry. Die diens is wel vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Acceptable but could be better.

The rooms are nice but the rest of the hotel could be better looked after and finished. The included breakfast is not very good and there are few in the Hectorspruit area. We had to drive to Malelane every day. The service is friendly and helpful.

The owner went out of his way to treat us, rooms were pleasant and spacious.

After a long journey it was pleasant to get into the spacious rooms. The owner and staff went out of their way to accommodate our needs even though it was New Year's Eve and they had a big New Year's party.

Everything was fantastic and we have already told many people about Buffalo Hotel.

Neat and tidy, clean and staff were outstanding. Thank you for a wonderful overnight stay. The staff were very friendly and the service was outstanding. A big thanks to Stiaan for making us feel so welcome. Food was fantastic. Will definitely recommend Buffalo Hotel and will come again.
