Guest Reviews
- Sibusisiwe (8/5): - The location is great Beds are not comfortable
- Motseotsile (8/5): - The reception from the staff, the views, and most importantly, the breakfast 👌 Well, apart from the AC and TV that were not on their best performance over the weekend, every experience was good and we enjoyed our stay.
- Bila (8/5): - View Cold ❄️ during this time of the year the air conditioning could not turn to heat mode there was no remote for the air conditioner
- Lerato (6/5): Stay was good, kids enjoyed and staff very helpfu; - Room must have bar fridge that will be great. Aircon from other rooms makes noise.
- Daine (9/5): Great location, great facilities and the staff are very friendly and accommodating! -
- Bontleng (10/5): - The views The rooms
- Esther (10/5): - We had a great time, the breakfast was so delicious and environment was super refreshing. Nothing.
- Guest (7/5): -
- MARK (1/5): -
- NONOFO EZRA (3/5): It was not really a plesant stay because of the things I have already mentioned - The location was in a good area. I chose a room that was supposed to have lake view, mountain view etc but did not get the room even after I paid for it. Another thing I did not like the fact that there was no mini bar fridge in my room
- witness (9/5): - Located in good area, beautiful garden, good positioning. Water from the taps smells
- Queen (3/5): - The whole venue -only on the outside it’s very beautiful The rooms The showers The service
- Neo (4/5): - The location is in a good place There is no microwave or fridge in the rooms. There's a funny smell in the bathrooms
- Maria (4/5): Disappointed - The place is nice and open for kids to play. The pool is very small. The water has a bad smell you can’t even rinse your mouth. Even when you bath the smell is there. There’s not even a chair or a seat in the rooms. When you get to the room you just lie down or sit on the bed. The rooms are too small. There’s a bed side lamp that is just hanging on your head. On Sunday morning the water was very cold we had to shower with cold water. The yard is beautiful.
- Andries S (9/5): -
- Olebogeng (9/5): - The staff is absolutely amazing and friendly. They made sure we are very comfortable and didnt lack anything. Its not what I didnt like. I wish I knew about the private home on the property. And also when booking I didn't see the option for reserving block A Which I would have loved to be in
- Pathmalosini (6/5): - The rooms were in good condition, comfortable and relaxing. No play area for kids. Small swimming pool
- Zandile Cynthia (4/5): Bitter sweet - The place was beautiful and the breakfast was nice. We had two bookings with booking.com. Our number increased then I called the property to do adjustments to add more rooms and I've received invoice by an email. I made payments and sent proof of payment back to the email address I've received the invoice. Upon arrival on the 27th of March we we're told they only have bookings for 2 rooms for 4 people and we booked for 7 rooms for 14 people. It was one big disappointment because we had send proof of payment to the property. Unfortunately the hotel was fully booked, the management find rooms for us but we had to move from one room to the another everyday. There was a day when three people shared a room as they didn't have a room for two of our colleagues. I must say it was stressful. All in all, the management compensated us with free breakfast for 14 people, a loyal suit for two plus a refund for one room.
- buhle (10/5): - the wifi was not working.
- Kutoane (5/5): - The TV was old and not clear and had limited stations.
- Gabriel (3/5): The place looks old with small and not so working tvs - The garden The rooms
- sindile (10/5): This is good value for money Villa,i would definitely recommend the Villa at any day. - The stay was very good,good value for money. The views are out of this would and the view from the cable way makes it more great. The staff is very friendly from the house keeping team to the gentleman at the reception. And the chef recommended a nice hake that I loved. The noise from the other guests.
- Lungile (1/5): - There was nothing to like The rooms were substandard, it looks like student accommodation. Didnt have an iron and hairdreyer and it was a busy weekend, guests were moving from one room to the other to borrow the iron. Worse, when i raised the concern, I was racially profiled that the reason why management doesnt provide those amenities in the rooms anymore is because black people steal those amenities upon checking out.
- Tsholofelo (5/5): -
- Sehale (4/5): -
- Mpho (2/5): -
- Nhlaluko (6/5): -
- Kgwele (9/5): - The is a guy by the reception area. He was very welcoming and super patient with us. He attended to all of our request and ensured our stay was comfortable and we enjoyed value for money. The facility itself was beautiful. Had to wait 15 to 20 minutes by the gate upon arrival because there was no at the gate and it was late around 19h00. At one point even had to ask someone passing by how we gain access. The numbers provided on the net did not work!
- Nomusa (10/5): - The room was spacious, and the staff was really kind. There wasn't a mini bar fridge and microwave in the room.
- PHUMZILE (7/5): -
- phindi (6/5): - The male receptionist was 10 out of ten very friendly and accommodating There was no bar fridge
- Amanda (8/5): - I liked almost everything Shower gel and soap on the second day were not there at all. I also prefer a double bad not 2 single bad especial if you are a couple.
- Elizabeth (5/5): - Nothing The place need new aircon and the floor was shinny stones not tiles no bar fridge and microwave in the rooms no couch to sit in the rooms 😔 bathroom it's only showers some of us prefer Bath
- Legodi (2/5): Very. Bad experience - I didn’t like anything about the property the owner is not friendly I had to wait 30 mints before they could open the gate for me There’s no kitchen, no fridges and stove but there’s a self catering option
- Thobela (8/5): - Good service nice view and near to most places They made a mistake nd placed me on blocked D while i paid for Block A Rooms
- Gopolang (5/5): - Location Tv not working
- Nneny (6/5): - The view TV was not working No Microwave & mini fridge
- Captain (5/5): -
- Florence (8/5): Upgrade with cleaning of rooms and towels - Disappointing because they dish for us and you are not allowed to eat as much as you can as we know that it is a buffet The view and the convenient of place
- Motlalepule (7/5): - It is clean and nice Nothing
- Prudence (10/5): Villa Paradiso is a very beautiful, clean, inviting place and the privacy is out of this world. - The breakfast was very nice and fresh and the variety is accomodating everyone's diet. As for the time you should at least extend to 10h00, because as a traveller you want to sleep a bit late sometimes. The venue is next to entertainment facilities its a plus for travellers. Can you please send me details of any specials available. There is no onsite entertainment at the venue, to accomodate visitors who dont want to go out. Also the music at the facilities can be at least adjusted to accomodate locals.
- Tumi (6/5): - Very nice Other rooms
- Kgaogelo (7/5): -
- Hunadi (10/5): You receptionist he very very friendly and good in welcoming 🙏 - Best of the best Swimming pool where not clean
- Stanley (10/5): Warm and welcoming - Sumptuous and fulfilling Breakfast variety commendable The size of the television and limited channels
- Hazel Sefakoana (7/5): location convenient - rooms Restaurant closes early, airconditioner a la heater, kept tripping power, breakfast not included in price paid
- suzet (9/5): - I asked for something special because it was our 35st wedding anniversary, but because we had a full weekend with breakfasts, cruises, coffee shops and restaurants on the list, I decided not to take up the offer of treats and Champaign they had to offer. But still, when we entered our room. there were rose petals EVERYWHERE. It was such a wonderful gesture from their side. Thank you Jacques and team!!
- Rose (9/5): -
- Ariel (8/5): Wonderful for a short getaway from Joburg:) - I had a great time at Villa Paradiso. The room was wonderful with an extra big bed, not what I was expecting for a budget double room. The site was lovely to walk around, and I can see how this would be a great wedding venue. They also make a delicious breakfast. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. I went during a quiet period, so it was understandable that the restaurant was not available for dinner, but the location is very close to try local restaurant spots.
- Malitlhare Angelina (8/5): Our stay was very nice - We were not allowed to bring our own drinks and cooler boxes
- Neo (8/5): It was really good and fun - Good food Time for supper
- SPHIWE (10/5): Our stay was nice, the place is closed to all the facilities. you can drive to where ever you want. - Our stay was nice, on Friday we arrived late but i'm so happy how Koketso ( the reception guy) welcome us. he is very friendly. Breakfast was very nice and worth for the price, there was a lot of food. The room was worth the amount we paid, it was clean and the space was enough for both of us. the bed was cool aswell. We enjoyed our stay Only the noise the other ladies were doing outside screaming at night.
- Batshegi (10/5): beautiful place. i would like to go back - breakfast, room and bed tv. too small, add extra channel like 161
- Chenique (8/5): -
- Mbali (10/5): -
- Gugu (8/5): Amazing staff, amazing service - Great service however the rooms can be modernised, it looks old and the TV wasn’t working The TV wasn’t working? WiFi was buffering
- khanyisile (1/5): - I didint like anything
- Steve (7/5): - Receptionist could be more welcoming and friendlier
- MP MOROPANA (10/5): - The views and location of the property. The breakfast as well There is no fridge and microwave in the rooms
- Thabile (8/5): Best getaway by the mountains. - The scenery was amazing. A great getaway from the city madness. Nothing. Everything 10/10
- Ithuteng Michelle (2/5): -
- Nombulelo (10/5): -
- Lenkopane (10/5): -
- Kelly Lydia (10/5): -
- Nokuthula (4/5): The destination was great lot of entertainment around. - It was easy to find and it is located in a quiet area. The property had no water hours not even back up tanks. There were lot of ants in the rooms. Bathroom sink had a leak. And the pool is very small
- Thabang (8/5): -
- Thanke (8/5): -
- Kedibone (1/5): I had a bad year and took my last money to go away and relax, Villa Paradiso made it worse. - Nothing The receptionist decided to have a conversation with his colleague when we got in instead of welcoming us, we had to wait for them to chit chat and laugh before he attended to us, the pictures online are deceiving, the rooms look like a back room in a kasi location (and I am being generous because they are worse), they smell very bad and the sheets smell very horrible, you have to wear a mask when you enter the bath room because of the smell, 70% of the time there was no water, when we left we did not bath because there was no water. The place is not being maintained, walls are not painted, lights are damaged and I can’t even describe how damaged the floor is. There was no value for money, for the amount we paid I expected better service, there is just nothing nice about that place. It feels like we paid just to go and experience how living poor in a dirty place an inside small room feels like. Ohh and there was no chair so it’s either you sleep or you stand up. Unfortunately non of us took pictures because that is a memory we don’t want to keep, this place should not be called villa because it is not, they saying it is a hotel but there is no room service, this is a place to squad if you car is stuck in the middle of the night and you are stranded with no other options. We were there for 2 nights but it felt like a week, we went out most of the time even when you didn’t want to just to avoid those smelly back rooms. This place needs to close down and get proper maintenance.
- Moopong (10/5): -
- Denise (8/5): -
- Precious (10/5): Marvelous Place - Everything was good in that place the reception guy welcome us with a smile in his face. The rooms were clean the food the breakfast and dinner was out of this world. I will recommend you to everyone who wants to come and visit Haartebeesport. Nothing

- Irene makgeta (10/5): Wish there was a bar fridge where we can keep our drinks cold - The breakfast was out of this world. The staff was so friendly from the reception to the kitchen staff. On Friday night there was a lots of noise but saterday night they bought an extra security to ensure the noise level is controlled. Lettie, Olebogeng and the reception guy that was on duty friday night and sunday morning went a extra mile to ensure that we have the best breakfast ever. Friday night me and 1 of my friend had a minor incident and the guy did a first aid care for us our hero for the night you guys have a mini doctor in the House. We definitely coming back soon The smell of water as soon as you open the tap was like sewarage
