Jet and the staff were wonderfully helpful on my first visit to Jo’Burg. The property is beautiful, the restaurant delicious, but the staff took it over the top!
Thomas, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Hotel and staff are 5 star but pools were not clean enough to use it, sauna was not usable (very low temperature) no changing room there and nowhere near 5 star level. Indoor pool also was dirty. That is a shame considering that the rest of the hotel is good and everybody very friendly and helpful.

Sherry, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Transport booked from airport was 75mins late. Pre arranged late check out for £130 had been cancelled by the hotel. Booking for their golf course shambolic and I discovered that guests basically can’t play on the course. Too shambolic to be an Expedia hotel
James, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Definitely worth the stay!

If I could rate this hotel ten stars I would. Luxury and top notch service from check in to check out. Staff are insanely excellent. Do yourself a favour and stay here. We'll be back. Thank you!
