We were greeted and booked in by the host who made sure that we were comfortable. Happy to return

We left early and never had breakfast. The view is magnificent. Pity we never had more time

The lighting could be a little brighter but it's not bad

Ideal stop-over on our trip from Cape Town to Johannesburg

Our host was very warm and welcoming. Very informative, including telling us where we could go and eat. Rooms very clean. An ideal stopover, after a long drive.

The furnishings in the room were fairly rudimentary, but comfortable.

We had a good stay at View Lodge and the manageress was very friendly and helpful.

Location is good. View was great. Shower was good. Bed was comfortable.

1) not having an open patio, 2) windows did not stay open and 3) aircon barely kept the room cool, 4) no waste bin in the kitchen, 5) The name on Booking.com ("Gariep View") is not the name of the venue which is "View Lodge" so we had to call the manager to find out where to go, 6) The GPS for "Gariep View" is also incorrect and should be fixed.

Quiet, clean, and a comfortable stay.

It’s facilities plus it’s super serenity, perched high overlooking the dam. It’s breathtakingly beautiful

All thanks to load shedding, it got chilly in the room though there’s a back up for lights. Not a fault of the property.

The beds were extremely comfortable and we had a good night rest. The view was exactly what we wished for. The sunrise was beautiful over the lake. The receptionist made us feel like family right away and was very helpful. We were able to have delicious food delivered to our room from a local restaurent. An awesome stay!!!

Everything was to our liking👍

Superb

My 3rd time booking and always love staying in Gariep Dam and View Lodge. Lovely views from balcony of dam and hostess was contacted us during the trip to give updates and to find out how we are and made plans for us arriving late.

Only the main shower head needs a little attention but other than that no issues

Good location. The outside facilities could be more entertaining...something to eat, drink etc

Location was good for an overnighter. It would be lovely to have a meal on the premises as the view is so good.

Very good

The location was great with beautiful views from the living area upstairs. The reception staff were very friendly and accommodating.

The unit is in need of some maintenance. Toilets kept leaking when you flush. Towel Hooks were broken. Dinner plates far too big. Didn't fit into small microwave and kitchen sink.

Overpriced for what we got.

The vie and the pool.

Last time we stayed we had a. upstairs room which was better than the room we were allocated this time. I understood that they had problems with the upstairs rooms. We made tea in the morning only to discover that the milk suppled was off.
