My family enjoyed our stay at the Ranch resort. The golf chalet was extremely spacious, well laid out, and clean. We were greeted in the chalet with fruits and 2 bottles of wine- very nice touch. The hotel is also very lush with lovely plants and trees all over. The only down side was that the activities were a bit pricey. Otherwise we would definitely stay at the resort again.

Good hotel but poor housekeeping

Initial check in extras were not in room. Lounge and dining areas were locked, had to go back to reception to get it unlocked. No shampoo etc in bathrooms. Had 2 rooms booked, the 1 had extras like welcome drinks the other did not. Bathroom drains in shower blocked.

Great resort but really poor service

The resort itself is great and accommodation is comfortable and facilities decent. Service was disappointing from reception where their service wasn't great, the attitude was like they didnt really want to help but were forced to. To the house keeping staff, they come early when still waking up, they asked what time they should come back, go out to pools and when return (3 hours after they supposed to clean) they still didn't clean the room. Have to phone housekeeping to get them to come clean, they clean the bedrooms and bathrooms but not even properly, tea, coffee, toiletries and towels not restocked. Not sure when last they vacuum the carpets. They didn't even go to the kitchen, had to call them back to do that. Couch in lounge is supposedly sleeper couch, but after you lift those cushions and see all the staff accumulated there you'll think twice about sleeping there. On check out called for late check out, they tell me 11am (which is normal check out) when I tell the lady that, she says she is going to call me back, I'm still waiting. Check out process was like they couldnt care less and they just there because they had to be. The spa is off site, they dont answer their phones, try their website booking enquiry they call back about 18 hours later so pretty useless as well. Ground staff are quite friendly and helpful.

The hotel is perfect but had the problem with the door which we could not open every time we had to go to the reception for them to ask someone to open the door room 90. The poor service is based on the door that could not open with the key they gave us.

A Resort that is willing to listen

There was a huge improvement on the Resort as compared to our previous visit. Priscilla at the front desk was superb and helpful. Great meals at the Restaurant. Golf suites always spacious and great for a family. Beds & linen were comfortable. Furniture & fittings were kept in good condition, so as the garden. However, the Rooms, especially, the bathrooms are not cleaned properly. There was a lot of old dead insects as well as some spider-webs around the unit. Crumbs of food-stuff were never cleaned on the couches. The Resort ticked most of the correct boxes with an exception of the Housekeeping. Some very visible cracks in the unit need some attention. Room service will also make a huge difference.

Always refreshing to be at The Ranch.

This is not my first time here, but every time I come here, I find the people very welcoming. The decoration and landscape are the best. Rooms are well airconditioned. Polokwane is hot.
