Like coming home.

Fantastic, friendly staff, attentive service, comfortable rooms, homely meals, ice cold beer and all set in a tropical well-kept garden and a wonderful pool and pool area.

Baie lekker.

Net jammer die webtuiste het nie die korrekte bespreking gedoen nie. En kos moes nog ekstra betaal word. 'n Hele paar rand verskil.

Very nice.

Just a pity the website didn't do the correct booking. And food still had to be paid extra. Quite a few rand difference.

Koue, onpersoonlike kamers.

Koue, onpersoonlike kamers. Stort in die bad. Badkamervloer onder water ná die stort. My dood gesoek na die plek op my GPS. Aandete is warm gemaakte kos.

Mees vriendelikste ontvangs met pragtige, gerieflike kamers en etes uit die boonste rakke! 'n Ware juweel in die Laeveld!

Wat 'n heerlike ervaring om in die Karula Hotel te bly vir die naweek! Ons het die mees warmste en vriendelikste ontvangs en diens ervaar deur die eienaars en personeel. Die eienaars is direk betrokke by die hotel en laat saam met hulle wonderlike personeel die gaste so welkom voel. Die kamers was pragtig, netjies en gerieflik en heerlik verkoel. Die etes (ontbyt en aandete) is uit die boonste rakke! By Karula Hotel kry jy waarde vir jou geld en is 'n ware juweel in die Laeveld!

The friendliest welcome with beautiful, comfortable rooms and top-notch meals! A real gem in the Lowveld!

What a wonderful experience to stay in the Karula Hotel for the weekend! We experienced the warmest and friendliest welcome and service from the owners and staff. The owners are directly involved in the hotel and together with their wonderful staff make the guests feel so welcome. The rooms were beautiful, neat and comfortable and wonderfully chilled. The meals (breakfast and dinner) are top notch! At Karula Hotel you get value for your money and are a real gem in the Lowveld!

By Karula Hotel word 'n mens op die hande gedra - bederf.

Ons was so verras oor die ontbyt en die 5-gang-aandetes! Heerlike warm kos. Gladys was ons kelnerin en die diens van al die personeel is uitstekend. Jy wag nie om bedien te word nie. Tom is 'n vriendelike gasheer en het ons welkom laat voel. Voor die aandetes het ons 'n lafenis geniet in die bar. Dis beslis 'n tuiste weg van die huis af. Hier kan jy werklik net ontspan en uitsien na die bederf by die etenstafel. Jy gaan beslis nie honger slaap nie. Dankie Tom en personeel, julle is uitstekend, gasvry en professioneel. Doen so voort.

They really know how to treat you at Karula Hotel - they spoil you.

The breakfast and 5 couse dinners was such as surprise! Delicious warm food. Gladys was our waitress and the service from the entire staff was excellent. You don't wait to be served. Tom is a friendly host and made us feel welcome. Before dinners we enjoyed a little someting at the bar. Definitely a home away from home. Here you can really relax and look forward to be spoiled at the dining table. You won't go to bed with hungry. Thanks Tom and staff, you are excellent, great hospitality and professionale. Keep it up.

Disappointing.

Small double bed rooms can be renovated, would suggest that they provide more coffees and sugar to visitors. Amenities are very clean (appreciated that), but don't feel like you're getting value for money.

Verblyf was aanvaarbaar, maar sal nie weer by Karula wil bly nie.

Foto's op webtuiste en die werklikheid is glad nie dieselfde nie.

Stay was acceptable but would not stay at Karula's again.

Photos on the website and the reality are not the same at all.
