Restful.
It was very peaceful, and we could take the time to rest. The unit has everything you need. There are no plugs, microwave or toaster, but we made use of what was there and it was still easy and peaceful.

We had a lovely stay at Bos Hotel. This was not our first visit nor will it be our last. We had a problem with the gas box, but after I let the host know, he fixed the problem within minutes. We would definitely recommend Bos Hotel to anyone.

I do not recommend it at all for large families. Not even with small children.
Unfortunately, we arrived there on Saturday without hot water. It wasn't restored until Sunday afternoon.

Dit is wel so dat die geyser nie gewerk het nie. Die gaste het vroeg ingeboek en het eers teen 7 uur Saterdag aand dit gerapporteer. Ek was wel daar en kon eers Sondag oggend 'n part gaan koop en het dit herstel.

My family and I really enjoyed the Easter weekend. The unit was nice and clean and all necessary was provided cutlery, bedding, braai utensils and sports equipment for tennis and pit-put.
Our family was warmly welcomed upon our arrival at the main gate. The unit was very neat and clean braai area was neat. The gas geyser and fridge are in good working condition and we had no problems. The restaurant staff provided very good service even though they were busy with a function at the reception hall. The sports grounds and pools were very clean and very well looked after. The Cronje family will definitely come again to Bos Hotel to enjoy a nice, peaceful break away.

If you don't like camping, this is not the place for you. Solar lights are dead by 7:30 in the evening. There is not a gas lamp or candle in sight. There is a comforter on the bed for summer. We almost died from the cold. No extra blankets. Bath water was just that cold.
Apart from the camping experience, the place is neat and clean. If you're into that sort of thing, bring flashlights and lamps. Couldn't fault the cleanliness. 8 out of 10 for cleanliness.

With the necessary attention and a little renovation it will be a great getaway.
Location is beautiful, none of previous comments from 2021 have received attention yet. Accommodation not clean at all, bedding downstairs was dirty and very old and mud baboon tracks still on walls. No notice board or anything about gas usage or cell phone chargers. Fridge leaked all weekend, shower outside bathroom soaking wet. Chairs outside by the fire are done and so uncomfortable. Light above the fire doesn't work either. Suggest that you notify people in advance that there is no wood available on site, had to drive all the way back. The restaurant's hours are also not correct, they said it was open on Sunday mornings, looked around for a long time but it was closed and we had to go somewhere else for breakfast.

Goeie dag. Die yskas is gas en elke keer as jy hom oop maak vat dit weer 30min om sy temperatuur te kry. Wat die krag aanbetref het ek die situasie aan hulle verduidelik dat die eekhorings die drade geëet het en dat daar n kortsluiting is wat ek Sal moet reg maak.

The resort is nice, but the unit is not up to standard.
Information sheet required to say what you need to bring with you is recommended. E.g. a gas lamp and candles, the solar power is not sufficient, especially in cloudy weather. The place needs quite a bit of attention.

Was a nice warm woodland visit.
We enjoyed the visit. Reception at the gate was very pleasant. The place has a lot of potential but really needs a lot of attention. Ice/Freezer did not work, water was brown, some of the dishes were dirty in the cupboards and the gas stove's flame distribution was a problem. Furthermore, we had a good time.

The establishment where the Bos Hotel is located is fantastic and there is a lot to do for the children.
The children had a great time. The solar panels are very small with the result that only a mobile phone could be charged. It's not conveniently laid out at all as far as the kitchen is concerned and I won't go there again for the price we paid, it's not worth it.

The surroundings are beautiful with neat swimming pools, tennis courts and restaurant.
However, the Boshotel unit we stayed in was extremely disappointing. The Forest Hotel needs an upgrade. The bathroom and entire unit's tiles are very old and do not meet the standards for letting to holidaymakers. The linen on the beds and towels are of poor quality and have seen better days. There are also no extra blankets. Fortunately, we took our own. The unit also needs a thorough cleaning. . The garden chairs are very old and weathered and could at least do with a coat of paint. The extra bathroom outside shower is very small and inconvenient. The water from the shower is either too hot or too cold and can be difficult to regulate. The stay was extremely disappointing!

Disappointing.
The Bos Hotel was dirty and untidy. The drain is blocked and runs out in front of the front door. The owner only reads messages but there is no feedback. No usb points to charge phones. Outside toilet's light does not work. Door by the stoep's handle is broken. Cutlery and pots were not clean. Bathroom mats very dirty. The Bos Hotel could definitely do with a decent clean and a lot of repairs. Not worth the money.

First, I got an anonymous WhatsApp from the owner to give my car registration number. When I complained, he said it was so the gate guard could let me in.
He never bothered to meet us or make sure we were home. I would certainly have complained about the thin and insufficient bedding for the winter. There is no warning in the unit that baboons are a problem. Although the kitchen door closes with a Yale lock, the upper sliding door could not close and was loose in its frame. We only slept three nights out of the five prepaid nights, when the baboons broke in and destroyed about R600 worth of groceries. Given the owner's inhospitality and indifference, I didn't complain, but instead used the time to get home. A week later, he is still keeping a low profile: no apology, no explanation. Really poor, especially considering that the tourism sector has suffered badly under Covid conditions.

Dit is 'n natuurresevaat, almal weet dat daar bobbejane en Blou aapies is.
Die gaste het die bo deur en vensters oop gelos. Nadat die bobbejane daar deur is het die gaste hul goed gepak en net die sleutels op die hek gelos sonder om 'n woord te se.

We arrived at 14:00 and only stayed one night.
The accommodation was acceptable for the one night's sleepover. Would not be able to recommend it for a longer period though. It happened to be a very cold evening and if we hadn't watched the weather forecast, we would have experienced a bitterly cold evening. No provision has been made for cold evenings with the availability of extra blankets. We were three adults and would have appreciated better preparation in terms of the 12 V charging facility for cell phones. If we had an emergency situation, we were in trouble. There was no hot water. We could boil water for coffee, but if we were more than 3 the size of the kettle would have been a problem. The location of the accommodation is in a beautiful reserve and had it been in the summer we would definitely have used the swimming facilities, although it is quite a distance from the accommodation. The accommodation has incredible potential and just a little TLC in terms of resident comfort will keep customers coming back.

It's what you make of it.
For a family of 5 this accommodation is just too small and can get cramped. The location is good and closer to the extra facilities like the restaurant and swimming pools. The cutlery is of extremely poor quality. The drain in the outside bathroom is blocked, as is the drain from the kitchen exhaust pipe. The units are quite close to each other and there is not the view one would expect. If it's not raining, the children do have plenty of space to play and you can enjoy nature. The on-site restaurant is excellent and the putt-putt course in good condition. It would have been nice to have a document in the unit that contained all "things to do" such as walking routes or times the shop and restaurant are open, for example.

Disappointing.
Master bedroom very small and poor quality linen, and no flat sheet. Place is full of spiders, we literally found a spider's nest under our pillow and had to spray it first. Mosquitoes bother a lot and there is nothing provided for it and no power plugs for mosquito machine. Solar panels only provide power for lighting and USB port. House hot during the day with no fan. Refrigerator does not cool efficiently and does not look like in photo. Upper sliding door goes off track. Resort pools very nice with beautiful and peaceful surroundings, would have liked better grass around the pools.
