We have been staying at Thaba Eco for 3 years and my wife and I have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Having said this, with the lockdown restrictions, the charm has changed, I.e. the vibe and energies from people was missing. One of the most impressive things

Hotels.com booking discount

I think we must all be treated the same, I didn't like the way Xolani did when I checked in especially that I booked with my discount after the 10th stay and I really felt like I was given a room that was different and the porter was even surprised that I was given that room (325). I liked the hotel as I stayed there several times but from that day I think it was my last stay.

Very, very spacious room and bathroom. Well provisioned: robes, iron & board, hair blower, tub, shower, dual sinks, air con. Generous breakfast buffet. Good restaurant. Terrific security, felt very safe. Accommodating staff.

Bad lighting at bathroom sinks and in bed area. The doors locked, but had gaps that exterior light came through, odd!

Class 1 Accommodation in Joburg

Our stay was amazing, we loved everything about the place, from the warm welcoming (thanks to Bronbi-ann Pulford & Noma Dlamini) to the scrumptious food. However, I would like to suggest that the check-out time be extended a bit, if possible, be moved to 11:00 am at least, especially on weekends.

Hotel great

We hosted a wedding at Thaba over this past weekend . All in all , I must compliment the banqueting staff, everything ran smoothly . The food was delicious. Your wedding coordinator needs some work , she was NOT present and everytime we called Linda - she was in a meeting of sorts. She , unfortunately needs further training as she was of NO assistance at all.

Great but....

Stay was great but I was in bed with my partner and had the do not disturb sign on my door.
The cleaning staff opened my door (without even knocking) and asked if I wanted towels. I was very taken aback as I thought I had maybe forgot to put the sign up. I then refused towel service and asked the cleaning staff if my do not disturb sign was on- to which she replied that it was- but she still needed to ask if I wanted towels.
This is total disregard for protocol and privacy and I was not impressed with the intrusion.
Overall it was a nice stay- but I was not happy with that part of the stay

A great find

Super efficient and friendly staff. Keen \"second mile\" attitude, always ready to assist wherever they can.
Magical views. Immaculate, spacious rooms. Good comfortable beds...crisp white linen. Little thoughtful extras (snacks in the room & complimentary bar fridge) were a pleasant surprise.
Super pool area and great 'Eco ' bar surrounded by beautifully kept indigenous gardens.
Fantastic Spa .
Very good buffet breakfast .
Great food and excellent staff at the restaurant. (Only wish those plastic table cloths & chairs would disappear!) 😃
Very environmentally conscious.
Loved our stay !

Very poor service.

My daughter was charged twice for her room due to a fault in the hotel system and they made life very difficult for her when she was checking out. Given that she was part of a wedding party it pretty much destroyed the occasion and made the journey to the airport very stressful. The hotel therefore destroyed any goodwill that 5hey had created with us and the wedding party.

Nice secluded location, WiFi in the unit that I stayed did not work and I asked the staff, I was told it doesn’t work on weekends and I will have to wait till Monday??
The room looks nice but the ac unit is obviously small for the size of the room and so it was not as effective as it should be!
Food buffet not a lot of selection!
Will I come back to the hotel? Poor in terms of value for money!!!!

The luxury rooms are excellent and the mini bar included in rates are all so commendable. All guests were new to the venue and wonderful to receive great reports from all.

A little bit of heaven

The hotel tucked away in such a peaceful place provided the much needed escape without us having to travel far. Our luxury room was spacious and modern. The staff was friendly and I throughly enjoyed the spa. The restaurant was value for money and the food was divine.A few things needs attention tho(room 309)...namely our heated towel rail didn't work, the batteries for the safe needed replacing, the water indicator in the shower was reversed and the shower ceiling needs to be painted. A table needs to be put in the bathroom for us to place our clothes on. But overall it was a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back.

Our Thaba Eco Experience

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were great, the restaurant food was delicious and most of the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Our only problem we encountered was at check in. The gentlemen helping us was unfriendly and he gave us the standard room instead of the luxury room. We were too busy to lodge a complaint and be moved to another room, so we stayed. I had booked the luxury room at a discount on Experia, but he gave us the standard room, perhaps to save money? The room we had was not bad, though. The hot water could have been hotter, but I read that they use solar geysers and we were showering before the sun came up, so that could be the reason why. Overall we would most definitely stay there again, but this time we will make sure we are given the correct room.
