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

Bainslodge Bloemfontein

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.

Ok place

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.
