Our annual family trip to Badplaas once again a success. We stayed in a wheelchair friendly unit which makes our lives easier with my dad’s mobility issues. We all loved the warm water pools and the hydro at night after dinner…my. Dad sleeps so much better after the hydro sessions. My sister and I enjoyed the treatments at the spa and the game drive. An all round relaxing holiday

The resort is unfortunately not up to standard and the staff are getting worst by the day. Management does not really look like the interested in fixing the issues. Overall quality of the resort is bad and staff members are horribly useless.

The couples spa journey was excellent and will recommend it to all that visit Badplaas. The hydro will also be one of my favourites. This trip was amazing and very relaxing. The gardens are well attended and the staff is very friendly

We will keep on going to Badplaas, it is our second home.The children enjoys it and so do we.One improvement are needed like the tubes for the rinkals, I think it's fair if the one responsible for damaging the tube pay the amount that the tube costs, because the rest of the visitors are not responsible but they have to ride on that flat damaged tube. The rest of the resort is 100% excellent.

i enjoyed my time and the relaxation. i like swiming and i had many options at the resort to do that. i like spa in general and the price for the different treatment was attractive, however i was disappointed with the attitude of the receptionist at the spa as she is laking minimum interaction skills with customers or potential customers.

I can't comment more on the facilities because we didn't used the facilities to check whether they are good or bad but so far its a beautiful place to be recommended and to be visited in future for leisure.

Extremely poor customer service from Staff members. Ashley at reception is racists and very rude. Staff members playing with their cellphones and not attending to customer. Kim at Hydro is even worse.

What a lovely place for a family of 4. We had fun riding supertubes and horseback riding - so much quality time with our kids. The place was clean and well maintained. Will definitely visit again. Thank you so much!
