8/10 Very good

Truly awesome surroundings in a picturesque part of Western Cape. Very lush greenery, quiet retreat not far from shopping malls, mountains, the sea and even reptile park! Bedroom and bathroom sizes are the biggest I have ever seen. Lots of sockets for gadgets, thoughtful torch in case of power cuts, swimming pool and space to play around at the back! I hope to return for longer!

Far hills is far from a great lodge. Outdated
The hotel has so much potential yet it misses the mark. The main room door looks like someone tried to break in . The patio door didn't lock. Outdated decor. Very poor tv signal. Paint drippings on the bath and toilet. Carpets need a good clean. Not worth the spend.

Far Hills Hotel
Huge comfortable suite room with balcony and view. Large bathroom with bath and shower. Room has fridge, coffee facilities, tv with choice of channels. Rooms feel private and safe. Bar Restaurant sold excellent bottle of wine at give-away price. Our included breakfast had massive choice. We had the full cooked farmhouse, and then I also had the fruit and yogurt etc because it looked delicious. Hotel easy to find (well sign-posted). Highly recommended. It's great to book something at a good price on ebookers, and arrive and find such a great hotel. Exceeded our expectations.

Disappointed...
I cannot believe that this hotel was advertised as a 4 star hotel with very deseptive photos. Ratings agency should do their jobs properly.

No wifi in rooms, hotel very run down, dinner left much to be desired. The staff were lovely though & very helpful. It could be such a great place as it is perfectly situated for exploring the garden route, but unfortunately it needs a serious revamp.

2/10 Poor

Avoid at all cost
Far Hills "Hotel" (I have stayed in better school boarding houses) is an absolute dump and I cannot recommend, strongly enough, that everybody that calls themselves human beings, AVOIDS this place at all costs. The room was dark (only 1 light at the entrance) and the television did not work and there wasn't even a TV remote control. The toilet was leaking and the underside of the seat was "caked" with old dirt (and who knows what else). There were loose, open wires hanging out of the wall and several different wires were connected to 1 plug. This is not safe and this place should be shut down as it is a fire hazard. I asked for another room, but was told they were full and that they would refund my money. The "management" were not very accommodating or understanding that we had just driven all the way from Cape Town and were tired.I took my refund, my wife, and drove as fast as I could to the Town Lodge at George Mall, where we had the most amazing experience. On a scale of 1 - 10, I would rate this place (I hesitate to call it an hotel) a NEGATIVE 10 (-10)

Avoid - much better choices out there for the cost
Big plus of this hotel are the fabulous views. The rest, unfortunately, is decidedly average. The scarcely functional TV, the very limited wifi, the dated decor, the stained carpets, the non-existent room facilities of any kind (no fridge, no cutlery, not even any tea) and the rubbishy food that doesn't match the menu descriptions was topped off during our stay by waking up to no running water and no toilet facilities. It turned out the whole hotel had no water - and there followed an odd stand off between the local municipality water providers and hotel managers. Over a bemused hour I watched as hotel managers claimed one minute there were engineers on the way to fix the problem, while others denied this; one manager even walked passed me muttering that the water providers had cut off the water supply because of unpaid bills (!), a situation I would not normally believe but the shabbiness of the rest of the hotel made it quite believable. While the majority of staff tried their best to calm and show understanding towards understandably unhappy guests, I also watched with amazement as one hotel manager unbelievably rounded on one guest for complaining as it was, apparently, not the hotel's fault but the water company. Avoid, like the plague. There are far better options out there.

Peaceful Stay
Had a peaceful stay. No hot water in shower, no keys for the safe in the room, no remote for the TV and it needs to be clearly stated that there are no fridges in the standard rooms. Breakfast on Saturday was good but on Sunday it was poor.
