Panorama Route Hotel Guide - Hotels with Childcare in Panorama Route, South Africa

"Your response is unacceptable. The Royal Hotel was closed for refurbishment at the time of my booking — a fact that should have been known to Hotels.com before confirming any reservations. It is embarrassing that such a booking was confirmed in the first place, and the stress caused is entirely due to your company’s failure to ensure the property was operational. I will be taking this matter up with my travel insurance provider and expect Hotels.com to review its internal processes to prevent this from happening to other customers."

" I want to express my disappointment regarding the service I received during my recent stay at your property. The hotel itself is beautiful, and we arrived around 7:00 PM for a one-night stay. Unfortunately, the weather was rainy, and we couldn’t enjoy the outdoor facilities as planned. However, I had a conversation with the receptionist, and she kindly agreed to grant us a late check-out. Since we were scheduled for a safari in Kruger Park the next morning, this was very much appreciated. We left for the safari at 5:30 AM and returned around 12:30 PM. Upon checking in at the reception, we were informed that we needed to vacate our room by 1:00 PM. This meant we only had about half an hour to pack up and shower, which felt rushed, especially after an early start. At exactly 1:00 PM, while I was in the shower, the receptionist repeatedly called my room, threatening to charge extra fees unless I left the room immediately. I was left with wet hair and was forced to carry my clothes in my hands, all while struggling to pack up my belongings and get to my car. This level of urgency and lack of consideration was completely unacceptable, especially after the understanding we had regarding the late check-out. Given the significant amount of money we spent on this stay, this experience was extremely disappointing. I have never encountered such poor service and a lack of empathy at a hotel. Safari was overpriced and lacked experience of the park and the truck they used was overheating"
