Overall Ratings & Reviews Sunset Manor

The pictures versus reality was different.

Don't let pictures on the internet fool you

Not so good.

I advised the staff in the morning that the remote to the TV was missing and they said they will locate it or purchase a universal remote. When I went back in the evening neither happened and they advised I should use the buttons on the TV. The TV could not be operated with the buttons on the TV except to switch on and off. The rooms have fans and not airconditioning which is not great when its summer and you are in Nelspruit. Further the fan in the lounge did not work. When you switched it on there is an electrical fault and it trips the lights. While cutlery is provided in the kitchen there is no mugs or plates or any other cooking utensils. The unit was cleaned during our stay but no clean towels were left. I had to request from reception.

Horrible, terrible and discusting, have stayed at much cheaper pleaces that was by far better than this! Will never return or recommend to anyone!

I have never been in such bad and noisy place. Water leak in the toilets, doors falling down, every thing clearly negleted. Old construction, any step done on the ground up I could hear from my apartment. Parking area under the badroom windows, I could take not of all car arrival time over the both night. Really bad.

Bathroom was very bad need to upgrade. Basin did not have a tap. Shower tap also did not work when I informed the staff member at the front desk he only pulled up he's shoulders like its normal and looked at me like it is suppose to be like that. It is now a week later and nobody from Sunset has phoned me

our stay was great and everything was okay.We ran out of hot water.We forgot some of our things and we asked to be contacted if they find them.Still no word

The staff was very friendly and professional, and the location is very nice and private with amazing views of Nelspruit, depending on your room choice, but for the overall impression of Sunset Manor - the pool were very dirty (even after the rains - not suppose to last for a whole week like that), the rooms are very outdated and it feels dirty although it is not- there was a stain on my bedding (linen) and really old and the pillows are worn out - I rather used my own - I will suggest a nice paint over and nice thorough clean of all the wood fixtures and walls, upholstery and curtains to be repaired or replaced, the views are amazing, but the balconies and appliances are not in good condition at all - I am not someone who complains easily, this is just some constructive feedback to improve on small things overall to make guests come back again - you have so much potential - some new linen, nice paint job and crack fillings, nice clean of fixtures and upholstery and curtains, some new crockery (cups, glasses, teaspoons etc.. can make one feel to enjoy a cup of coffee again - ) this is very important for most guests and can be a great asset to your business if changed or updated regularly - thank you to all the friendly staff, really appreciated this - keep up the good work!

I hated the all experience, I booked two nights, but it was impossible to sleep in that hotel, unprofessional staff, dirty rooms, any safety in the place! Please don't go there, even if the price is fine or a little lower than other hotels. I would like to ask Expedia, to take out this place from the website, because I always had a good impression and experience with all the programs I have booked with Expedia, but this one last reservation, left me really sad and disapointed! Hope you guys take the better solutions, for your costumers....

Gud

The kitchen was not properly clean which made us doubt on the cleanliness of the bedding. But we were so tired from the trip we went straight to sleep. The place is very run down needs a little of attention.

The room that we occupied was next to the pathway to the reception. Everyone talking outside the room was clearly audible. Also during the stay, the guests that were in the reception area were so noisy that we managed to fall asleep after they had left at 12 midnight. Also, the room did not have any place to put any clothes on. Also the shower did not have any shower head. The receptionist managed to get the shower-head from somewhere after we reported this to him. Lastly, on arrival, the receptionist did not have any knowledge that we were coming. My name was not on the guest list on hotel's computer. Only when I showed him the booking email from internet with the reservation number that he became aware of the booking. Luckily, there was one spare room that was available and it was given to us.

Good for the price

The views were good, the staff were good, a little run down, pool needed cleaning, couldn't go out onto the balcony as it was padlocked, no fridge but it was a good size room.

The room was avertised to have a bath tub and 43cm TV, but there was no bath tub and the TV was about 20cm.

Nice area and quiet. Old furniture with no air conditioning and really noisy ceiling fans. Breakfast is served from 07:00 to 09:00, I showed up at 09:08 and everything was cleared and I had to sit a reception to use the wifi

Hotel accomodations are ok. It is an older hotel with steel windows and doors. It is not a quiet place to stay as you hear room noise as well as everything going on outside the rooms. It is very clean but due to ventilation problems my bathroom smelled like a gymnasium shower room. I even ran the fan all night and it still smelled the same in the morning. One tile was broken on the floor in the shower as well. TV was an older version that only got about 6 channels.

I've given the lowest rating based on my booking not being fulfilled. Either 'hotel.com' did not notify the lodge of my completed booking or the lodge accepting more bookings than rooms available.I was forced to stay at another location with a lower rating... so I paid for something I didn't even receive.

Bath taps broken.
