It’s only good enough for a one night en route to Johannesburg. Other than that I would not recommend it to anyone for leisure stays. Too much partying and the cabins needs a complete revamp

We had a few places we could choose from in Bloemfontein but decided on this as the photos were stunning and it is close to get on highway to Kimberley. It was boiling hot when we arrived, cabin was closed up, no windows open so took almos 5 hours to actually cool down. When we went to the pool it was green and apparently they are still getting it ready for summer??? Really? If I had not paid yet Inwould have left and booked into another place. The photos were misleading.......

Bains lodge is a beautiful setting and great restaurants to choose from. My bed was comfortable. The bathroom was my problem, the shower floor tiles looks about 20 years old and did not look clean at all. Also the roof of the bathroom was full of mould patches.

The apartments smell of dampness and smoke, I think they should be very strict with their "no smoking in rooms policy" that is if they have one. The braai area outside the apartment was nice and the garden around the apartment clean

Beautiful exterior but interior was rather shocking. Extreme mold on bathroom ceiling, toilet was leaking, a hole in one of the duvet covers and hand prints and smears all over the sliding door glass panel. Decent beds to sleep in for one night but overall would not stay again.

Very poor client service, asked for some fresh milk for coffee which took almost 4 hours to arrive. the water system is dangerous, got nasty burns on my back in the shower as it was unable to maintain a steady temperature. I'm sure places like this are required to have thermostatically controlled shower taps so it doesn't happen. will not recommend or stay there again....

This place is too noisy until 23:00. The noise is coming from people speaking outside and music. In the morning the staff is talking loudly proclaiming n the morning while you're sleeping. The lodges reception is very convincing. You'll get the shock of your life when get to your room. The money charged is a rip off compared to the state of the lodge.

I love staying at Bains game lodge especially in the Wooden Cabins, very relax and homely feeling. But Avoid staying in Cabin 3, need a refit example the door is old and there is a massive ant infestation inside. every morning the floor is covered in ants. It is the only cabin that is like that, the rest is perfect.
