Rustig, skoon en absoluut deurdink.

Baie netjies, bed slaap heerlik, was rustig en skoon. Iemand wat hierdie lodge bestuur het, het werklik die gas se behoeftes in gedagte geneem. Daar was 'n dun kombersie ook op die bed wat heerlik werk in die warm weer. Sommige van die plekkies bied nie daardie opsie nie. Dan is die spieel en die kragpunte perfek. Baie dankie.

Quiet, clean and absolutely well thought out.

Very tidy, bed sleeps great, was quiet and clean. Someone who ran this lodge really had the guest's needs in mind. There was a thin blanket on the bed too which works great in the hot weather. Some of the spots don't offer that option. Then the mirror and the power points are perfect. Thank you very much.

El Dorado Lodge 's response

Beste Nicolette

Wow, wat 'n pragtige resensie, Baie dankie. Ons het voorheen die Lodge en Hotel besit, maar ons het die Hotel verkoop en bestuur nou net die Lodge. Ons werk baie hard aan wat ons aanbied en aan ons reputasie aangesien die twee eenhede mekaar nie altyd gekomplimenteer het nie. Dit is so lekker om te hoor dat ons pogings raak gesien word en wat vir julle goed was. Dit gee ons altyd 'n idee van waaraan om te werk en van wat deur ons kliënte as 'n goeie poging aanvaar word. Hierdie was werklik 'n waardevolle resensie. Baie dankie daarvoor. Mag 2024 vir julle 'n ongelooflike mooi jaar wees en ons hoop dat ons so bevoorreg sal wees om jul weer in die toekoms te huisves.

Eldorado Groete

Teleurstellend.

Met aankoms was geen persoon by ontvangs aan diens. Niemand was bewus van my bespreking. Televisie se beeld is so swak , dit help nie om dit te gebruik nie. Geen warm water in die badkamer se wasbak. Sal beslis nie weer hier tuisgaan.

Disappointing.

On arrival no person was on duty at reception. No one was aware of my booking. Television's image is so poor, it doesn't help to use it. No hot water in the bathroom sink. Definitely will not stay here again.

Disappointing and not what we expected.

Directions to entrance are incorrect. Security guard at gate and receptionist were not wearing masks! Actual accommodation vs. detail on site borders on false advertising. Photo blanked out of free-standing unit because it is actually 2 rooms at the front with a centre entrance to a small communal lounge and one kitchen area and a shared shower and toilet. Not a good idea to share an area with complete strangers, especially with Covid-19 at its peak. Four tiny rooms are up a flight of stairs with a single bed wedged into each room. No problem to El Dorado Lodge, they booked my wife in one room and myself in another and then when you protest they want you to pay an additional fee for a double room! The receptionist, who eventually found her mask, was kind enough to move us to a double room at no extra charge. A microwave oven and two small coffee mugs are what El Dorado believe to be a self-catering unit. The room was clean but the bathroom ceiling has mould growth on it. The only good memory of El Dorado Lodge was driving out the gate to continue with our journey.

Ek het gelukkig net een nag oorgeslaap.

Die Chalets is baie netjies en skoon, al probleem is dat jy dit met tot agt verskillend gaste kan deel. As ek dit geweet het dan sou ek nie daar oornag het nie. Daar was gaste met stock cars wat heelnag geraas het en met voertuie lawaai het. Nie alle gaste is so bedagsaam om skoon te maak en stilte te handhaaf as ander gaste slaap nie.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

Luckily I only slept one night.

The Chalets are very neat and clean, although the problem is that you can share them with up to eight different guests. If I had known that then I would not have spent the night there. There were guests with stock cars that made noise all night and made noise with vehicles. Not all guests are so considerate of cleaning up and maintaining silence when other guests are sleeping.

Dit was 'n aangename verblyf en goed toegeruste eenheid.

Daar was al die geriewe wat mens nodig het, soos 'n strykyster. Ek persoonlik was nie baie in my skik met 'n gemeenskaplike yskas. Ek vertrou maar net nie my medemens!

Found it quite pricey for what was offered, although the discount made it acceptable.

The room was tidy and clean with air-conditioning. It was all a little impersonal as no dining or bar facilities were available.

Hopelooos te duur.

Die tarief wat gehef is hopeloos te veel vir die eenslaapkamerplek. Restaurantdiens swak. Kroeg verkoop net bier. Baie geraas in eenheid.

Hopelessly too expensive.

The rate charged is hopelessly too much for the one bedroom place. Restaurant service poor. Bar only sells beer. Lots of noise in unit.

El Dorado Lodge 's response

Mnr Nicolaas,
Ons is tans besig om soveel as moontlik terugvoering, goed of sleg te gebruik om verbeterings aan ons diens en dit wat ons aan ons gaste bied te maak en wil u daarom bedank dat u aan ons terugvoering gegee het.
Ons is bitter jammer dat u voel ons is duur, veral omdat ons voel dat ons tarief baie billik is en 'n mark verwante pryse vir die tipe diens in ons area. Ons werk daagliks daaraan om iets besonders uniek vir ons gaste te gee. Ons is hoofsaaklik 'n selfsorg lodge en het nie ‘n al a carte restaurant nie, maar omdat so baie van ons gaste verkies om nie saans uit te gaan vir ete in die dorp nie, het ons 'n verkorte spyskaart beskibaar gestel. Vir hierdie selfde rede het ons nie 'n vol kroeg nie, maar omdat ons verstaan dat sommige van ons gaste 'n drankie geniet, bied ons dus 'n ligte opsie in die vorm van bier en ciders, meeste kliente bring hul eie sterk drank indien hul dit wil gebruik.
Ons is wel hard besig om 'n meer hanteerbare en aanvaarbare manier te vind om gaste wat later wil kuier te skuif na n meer privaat area waar hulle nie ander gaste steur nie. Dit bly egter 'n moeilike situasie en enige voorstelle van u is welkom.
Kalahari Groete,
Cornie de Jager

Sal dit net aanbeveel vir hele gesin om eenheid te deel en nie vir individue nie.

Wanneer 'n persoon bespreek vir 'n hotel wil jy graag 'n kamer vir jouself hê en nie 'n ketel ens. deel met ander mense nie. Die eenhede is ontsaglik netjies, maar sou dit aanbeveel vir 'n hele familie en nie as individue nie. Ons was vir 18 dae weg en in 8 gastehuise gebly en dit was die enigste een wat 'n gesamentlike ketel moes deel met ander. Ons het nie japonne ingepak nie. My man is baie lief vir sy koffie en elke keer moes hy met nagklere die ketel gaan kook en koffie maak met ander mense wat baie praat en lawaai. Hulle TV"s was ook baie hard. Die personeel is baie vriendelik en het verstaan toe ons verduidelik ons gaan nie nog 'n aand daar oornag nie.

Would only recommend for whole family to share unit and not for individuals.

When a person books for a hotel you would like to have a room to yourself and not a kettle etc. do not share with other people. The units are extremely neat, but would recommend them for a whole family and not as individuals. We were away for 18 days and stayed in 8 guest houses and this was the only one that had to share a communal kettle with others. We didn't pack gowns. My husband loves his coffee very much and every time he had to boil the kettle in his night clothes and make coffee with other people who talk a lot and make noise. Their TVs were also very loud. The staff are very friendly and understood when we explained that we were not going to spend another night there.

One lady who served us our breakfast on Sunday was either not in the mood or was forced to come to work, she was too tense.

The staff at the reception!perfect professionals, they solved the dilemma regarding my baby. Rooms were clean and smart, how do you not serve supper or drinks but expect people not to bring food to the rooms?

Dear Guest,
Thanks for the compliment for the professionalism of the reception staff, they really did go out of their way to make you and Baby feel comfortable. The Lady at breakfast is part of our family for a long time and good in what she does. I am not sure why you experienced her as tense on that day, but we will work on that.

Een aand maksimum

Die kamers van hierdie hotel is aanvaarbaar skoon en ruim. Met aankoms was Ontvangs nie vreeslik behulpsaam of vriendelik nie ons is ook ingelig dat die Restaurant slegs Maandag tot Donderdag oop is. Dus moes ons maar self sien kom klaar vir aandete op 'n Vrydagaand ek sal die hotel nie aanbeveel vir enige iets anders as 'n een-aand-‘Stop over’ nie

The rooms of this hotel are acceptably clean and spacious. Upon arrival Reception was not terribly helpful or friendly we were also informed that the Restaurant is only open Monday to Thursday. So we just had to see for ourselves and get ready for dinner on a Friday night I wouldn't recommend the hotel for anything other than a one-night 'Stop over'

Lekker geslaap, net jammer beskrywing oor kamer is verkeerd.

Kamer het geen bad soos in beskrywing nie. Kon nie wag vir 'n lekker warm bad na 'n lang dag op die pad nie, maar daar was net 'n stort - Beskrywing is soos volg: Elke kamer het 'n dubbelbed en 'n en suite-badkamer met 'n stort, bad, wasbak en toilet. Verder het elkeen van dié kamers 'n privaat binnehof met 'n buitestort.

Got some good sleep, just a pity the room description was wrong.

Unlike the description the room didn't have a bath. Couldn't wait for a nice warm bath after a long day on the road but then there was just a shower - Description is as follows: Each room has a double bed and an en-suite bathroom with shower, bath, basin, and toilet. All the rooms hav private courtyards and outside showers.
