Guest Reviews
- Thea (8/5): -
- Cherin (8/5): comfortable room and friendly staff - The bed was comfortable and breakfast was delicious. Situated in the middle of a small town its position was perfect for a good start to the onward journey. There is the train museum across the way The headboard needs attention. The room is on the road and security may need further attention The security gate can be easily opened by anyone and was opened by a little beggar boy . The TV is tiny and far away from the bed.

- Wolfram (4/5): - Personal, Ausstattung und Gastronomie waren für Calvinia soweit gut bis i.o. Das Hotel liegt an der Haupverkehrsader und hier fahren 24h RosdTrains mit schweren Dieselnotoren. Alle Zimmer im Bereich zur Straße sind extrem laut. Die Zimmergrössen und die Parkplatzangaben im Portal stimmen nicht. Der Pool ist auf dem Bild schön dargestellt. Tatsächlich aber nicht wirklich ansprechend...... Lieber nicht...8
- Stefan (8/5): -

- jozef (7/5): Voor een nacht ok. Goed restaurant tegenover de kerk. - beste hotel in calvania van een min of meer goede prijs.Simpel ontbijt. Calvinia is niet een van de leukste dorpen om te overnachten, Veel lawaai van muziek in de hotelbar.
- Mattheus (10/5): I have stayed in numerous places and this Hotel is one of mybest stays. - Best breakfast ever, and value for money Nothing
- Pius (10/5): -
- Tom (8/5): - Location, calm, staff very helpful Your "pool" is a joke. How on earth do you expect anyone to swim laps in this. It's deceiving as it seems long enough, but the incredible shallow pool makes swimming impossible.
- Willemse (9/5): -
- e dz (9/5): Perfect Calvinia stopover with a great breakfast - A pleasant stopover conveniently located on the main road in Calvinia, with a comfortable stay and a great breakfast to kickstart your journey.
- Natasha (7/5): - The beds are so soft and comfortable, the room is clean with an amazing shower. Would reccommend a small fridge in the room just so one can keep your water cool. When we went for breakfast and wanted to get some juice, there were flies in the jug as well as in the glasses. We also ordered scrambled eggs with the breakfast, but my hymusband and I both received fried eggs instead which was oily.
- Hubbard (7/5): -
- palesa (10/5): - Good service ever Staff and cleanliness
- Duane (8/5): -
- Jeftha (8/5): - Clean room with very helpfull staff Very close to good restuarants
- Dutoit (5/5): - no food was out of stock and buying A drink takes 40min plus
- Felix (8/5): - Fact that dining room close so early.
- Tessa (8/5): Goed hotel als je op doorreis bent. - Heel goed ontbijt met veel keuze, goede bedden, schoon, nette moderne badkamer, nette inrichting ( geen oude rommel ) parkeren op binnenplaats, prima hotel als je op doorreis bent is weinig op aan te merken Zwembad was klein. Geen tafel met stoelen op de kamer zodat je niet even achter je laptop kan zitten of iets kan schrijven. In Calvinia zelf is niet zo veel te beleven. Maar we waren dan ook op doorreis.

- Marais (7/5): Lekke - We were very comfortable and enjoyed our nights rest after traveling nearly 1200km The floor in our romm was not washed and when I walked bare foot in my room my feet were black
- Graham (5/5): - Rooms was ok Did not get the room that was booked, sceleton staff made our check in late. Reataurant ran out of dinner options....needed to go to take away next door.
- Huxley (5/5): Average due to parking issues and no Dinner service. Hotel appeared to be short staffed. - Room was larger than usual and comfortable. Clean and functional. Little to no traffic noise. Breakfast serving was fair and what we expected. Poor parking planning. Very congested, had to work with other guests to fit all the vehicles in. Staff did not take control of the issue. Manager not on premises and absent from the problem. No Dinner service (had to buy "garage pies" for dinner). Hotel was not prepared to be fully booked.
- Candice (7/5): It was good - We enjoyed ourstay, the beds was comfortable and breakfast was nice. The room didn't have door in the bathroom, no privacy.
- Louis (9/5): -
- Elizabeth Pretorius (9/5): Wonderful stay with a very good breakfast! - Excellent and really good breakfast. Calvinia is located about halfway from our destination which made it the ideal place to stay over. This was our second stay at Calvinia Hotel and like the first time we really enjoyed our stay a lot. Real value for money and still a bit of the old world charm of days gone by. We will definitely stay over with them again and again. Staff was very friendly and helpful, an overall pleasant stay with everything you needed for a stay over on your way to another destination. No complaints
- Joseph (8/5): -
- Joseph (7/5): Gut für eine Nacht auf der Durchreise. - Lage. Zimmer war dunkel und keine Aussicht!
- van den Bergh (1/5): - We made a booking but there wasn't anyone at reception when we got there. We couldn't check-in and had to look for alternative accommodation. We phoned them, heard the phone ringing but it was not answered. We had no service at all.
- Yusuf (7/5): -
- Herman (7/5): - The restaurant were out of vegetables , chicken livers and cheese cake.
- ryno (9/5): -
- Hongling (1/5): Worse - The room was all mosquitoes more than 30 I killed,and the bed is not comfortable,I has a lots of noise outside
- Theunis (9/5): - Location great. Professional service.
- wollie (7/5): -
- Johan (6/5): Matige kwaliteit - De kamer was o.k. Gebouw stoffig en wat rommelig. Zwembad op een soort balkon. Te bereiken via de vergaderzaal boven. Personeel vriendelijk maar procedureel. Restaurant matig.
- Carla (7/5): - Room was clean and neat The Badger Grill was dissapointing. The coffee machine did not work and nobody fixed it. My husband orderd cheese and mushroom stake. They brought monkey gland steak
- Dedrei (8/5): We enjoyed our stay at this great hotel - friendly staff, neat, beautiful rooms and good food. - Beautiful hotel, both breakfast and dinner was delicious. Very friendly and helpful staff in both the restaurant and hotel. The safe parking area locked at night is a great bonus. Rooms are furnished with everything you might need. We were situated in one of the upstairs rooms and unfortunately the party from the bar moved up to the swimming pool area very close to our room and was quite noisy until past midnight.
- Albertus (5/5): Please improve your supper options and don’t serve defrosted food. - Breakfast was good Supper was overpriced, and the special was a defrosted meal with cold pieces in it.
- Marie (7/5): - In the centre of town, you can walk around town from the hotel. Rooms are lovely. 1. Our room was right across the bar and beer garden, 3 m away. It was very loud until about 23:30. 2. Dinner service at the on-site restaurant was VERY slow. It was 2h10min from when we sat down until food arrived - certain items cold.
- Moses (8/5): Excellent stay when you come off the long road - Breakfast was nice
- Justin (9/5): Very comfortable, no hassle stay - Very convenient with spacious rooms
- Per (5/5): - Extremely poor service and substandard food in badger restaurant
- Groenewald (7/5): -
