Funny. The room did not have a shower, only a bathtub. The sink was badly cracked. The room only had one dim light that worked, so we mostly used the bedside lights. The walls had 4 random blocks of white paint on them as if they wanted to paint the room. The food was excellent and the man at the bar lacks some "people skills". There had been a private function at the restaurant section and we were turned away by the bar man when we wanted to buy water that evening because we were not part of the party.

Snaaks. Die kamer het nie 'n stort gehad nie, slegs 'n bad. Die wasbak was erg gekraak. Die kamer het net een dowwe lig gehad wat gewerk het, so ons het meestal die bedliggies gebruik. Die mure het 4 random wit verf blokke op gehad asof hulle die vertrek wil uitverf. Die kos was uitstekend en die man by die kroeg kort bietjie "people skills". Daar was 'n privaat funksie gewees by die restaurant afdeling en ons was weg gewys by die kroeg man toe ons wou water koop die aand oor ons nie deel van die partytjie was nie.

Not the cleanest accommodation. The walls in the room as well as the shower were dirty.

Nie die skoonste verblyf nie. Die mure in die kamer asook die stort was vuil.

We really enjoyed the town and its people. Thank you for email and opportunity to provide feedback on our experience with the Hamlet Country Lodge. Your booking confirms that we can take occupation from 14h00. We arrived there at 15h15 and we had to wait, because the person who allocates the room is not there, he has gone home. We tried to call you guys, didn't answer your phones either. We later went to the one person who was there in sight and told him to please. the owner's contact number for me to call him. We had a function starting at 16h00 and we still had to get dressed for the function. After a while we were allocated a room. We also asked the bartender what time they serve breakfast since our stay includes breakfast. He said they open the kitchen at 07h00 in the morning. We had a full program and the time suited us well as we had to attend a funeral in Caledon again from Hamlet. We left the hotel at 07h20 without breakfast, the place was lost at that time of the morning no staff on duty or no security. We had to go out the back door to get out of the building. We are unhappy about the reception and departure. Staff are not trained. We hope that the owner helps all the less fortunate with jobs at his lodge. The hotel is surrounded with road workers, a large number of them sitting in the courtyard and there is no place outside for the visitors. We were shocked at the number that was there, I believe that you should mention on the advertisement that it is actually a backpackers and not a lodge or hotel, one has different expectations when one sees the name lodge or hotel. We will definitely not be staying there again, we have seen better options after research for much less money. We feel people are being misled with the ad. Indoors is not what we expected from a lodge.

Die dorp het ons baie geniet en sy mense. Dankie vir e-pos en geleentheid om terugvoer te gee van ons ondervinding met die Hamlet Country Lodge. Jul bespreking bevestig dat ons vanaf 14h00 kan okkupasie neem. Ons het 15h15 daar arriveer en ons moes wag, want die persooon wat die kamer allokeer is nie daar nie, hy is huis toe. Ons het probeer om julle te skakel julle, het ook nie jul telefone beantwoord nie. Ons het later na die een persoon wat daar in sig was, gegaan en gesê hy moet asb. die eienaar se kontaknommer vir my gee dat ek hom skakel. Ons het 'n funksie gehad wat 16h00 begin en ons moes nog aantrek vir die funksie. Na 'n ruk is daar 'n kamer aan ons toegeken. Ons het ook die kroegman gevra hoe laat bedien hul ontbyt aangesien ons verblyf ontbyt insluit. Hy het gesê hul open 07h00 die kombuis die oggend. Ons het 'n vol program gehad en die tyd het ons goed gepas, want ons moes weer vanaf Hamlet weer 'n begrafnis in Caledon bywoon. Ons het 07h20 die hotel verlaat sonder ontbyt, die plek was verlore daardie tyd van die oggend geen personeel aan diens of geen sekuriteit nie. Ons moes by die agterdeur uit om uit die gebou te kan kom. Ons is ongelukkig oor die ontvangs en vertrek. Personeel is nie opgelei nie. Ons versaan dat die eienaar al die minder bevoorregtes help met poste by sy lodge. Die hotel is omring met padwerkers, groot aantal van hulle wat op die binnehof sit en daar is geen plek buite vir die besoekers nie. Ons was geskok oor die aantal wat daar was, ek glo dat jul op die advertensie moet noem dat dit eintlik 'n backpackers is en nie 'n lodge of hotel nie, 'n mens het ander verwagtinge as mens die naam lodge of hotel sien. Ons sal definitief nie weer daar tuis gaan nie, ons het beter opsies gesien na ondersoek vir baie minder geld. Ons voel mense word mislei met die advertensie. Binnenshuis is nie wat ons verwag het van 'n lodge nie.

Ideal location for our purpose. Comfortable and sufficient for our needs on the weekend. Friendly reception and very nice breakfast.

Ideal ligging vir ons doel. Gerieflik en voldoende vir ons behoeftes die naweek. Vriendelike ontvangs en baie lekker ontbyt.

The host, Michael, was very helpful and quickly upgraded our room to a room of our choice when we were not happy with the first one. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the food was of excellent quality. The bar and restaurant definitely gets a 5-star rating. The rooms need a bit of attention, but we still had a very good night's rest after a long day on the road and the few missing luxuries didn't matter too much to us. After all, it was just to stay the night after a long journey. We will definitely stay there again.

Die gasheer, Michael, was baie behulpsaam en het vinnig ons kamer opgegradeer na 'n kamer van ons keuse toe ons nie gelukkig was met die eerste een nie. Die personeel was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam en die kos was van uitstaande gehalte. Die kroeg en restaurant kry beslis 'n 5-ster gradering. Die kamers kort 'n bietjie aandag, maar ons het nietemin 'n baie goeie nagrus gehad na 'n lang dag op die pad en die paar ontbrekende luukses het nie te veel saak gemaak vir ons nie. Dit was immers net om te oornag na 'n lang reis. Ons sal beslis weer daar oornag.

Very disappointed, with the room and the overall experience. The state of the room is not good, the door is broken, damaged, looks like someone punched it, damage looks like someone tried to break into the room. The bathroom is, well, the sink has cracks, the toilet cistern is broken (cracked). I did not get breakfast even after they asked me what time I wanted to eat, I said 8:30 as I had to travel to another wedding, no one from the hotel was even there at 8:30, they only arrived just before 9 am, by then it was too late to eat. Very unhappy with the price and what I got (did not get). Will not use them again.
