77 guests' feedbackVery pleasant. Will use again.
The owner and staff were very accommodating, making the stay more pleasant.
At first glance the place looked very nice and the reception was very friendly. But the thatched roof of the room/chalet we stayed in had a significant musty smell and the bedding was stained. I feel the place needs some attention/renovation. Apart from the physical shortcomings, the location is too close to one of George's busiest streets and it is difficult to fall asleep with the noise of the vehicles.
Very nice and peaceful.
Had a great time, the services were top notch!
Very nice stay. Bea and her team were very accommodating with my late night schedule. Very peaceful environment to relax after a busy day. Thank you very much Bea and team for a nice visit!
Spacious room and comfortable.
Our stay was very nice.
An oasis in the heart of George.
Booked three garden chalets for 5 nights. Would have left after the first night if we could have found alternative accommodation in the area (sadly everything booked out). The positives - staff very friendly and the garden and pool gorgeous and well maintained. Breakfast great. The negatives - everything else felt or appeared old, worn, dirty/stained or damaged. The bedding is clean but stained and worn. Walls and high touch points (e.g. light switches and door handles) are visibly dirty. There is a potent smell of mould inside the chalets with significant evidence of mould on walls and some of the soft furnishings (e.g. curtains). Floors are in need of a proper scrub as visible grime buildup is evident. There are damaged curtains and cracks in tiles and the bath. The microwave is smelly/dirty. The cutlery and crockery are dirty (the cups we used the night before were clearly only rinsed with water but not washed using soap). Worst of all - millions of tiny black bugs falling from the thatched roof onto the bed. There was no warning of when to expect load shedding, making it difficult to plan our day. I have photos of all of what I described above but it appears I cannot add them to this review. Not all of the above is evident in all the chalets (noting we booked three). I felt 'grotty' right through our stay and could not wait to leave for our next destination.
Unfortunately, the photos on the website are very deceiving. Our family room's bedding was full of stains, there was a dead mosquito and its blood on the wall that had not been cleaned, hand marks on the mirror and the curtains were very dirty. For a 4 star we were extremely disappointed and did not have a nice stay at all. We paid for breakfast but didn't want to wait for breakfast to open, we wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
Very nice stay, but rooms and dining area need attention, especially the curtains and chair covers. Breakfast was very nice.
Great place and service.
The hosts and staff were very friendly and helpful. The venue is nicely located. The swimming pool is well taken care of.
Nice stay. Everyone friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast.
See stars.
Very nice stay, thank you very much for everything. Hospitality was great.
Very nice room view of pool.
The lodge has been taken over by new owners, but it is clear that it is not up to the standard we expected. The new owners were accommodating because we were able to check in and check out a little earlier. Breakfast was meager and load shedding adversely affected the making of morning coffee and breakfast. Coffee was already cold. The layout of the rooms around the pool is very good and creates a peaceful atmosphere.
The pictures look more neat, well maintained and prettier than in person.
I would recommend it to anyone. The hosts are very friendly.
Was surprised by the quality of the lodge. One could have stayed there for another night or two for sure.
Perfect for a getaway in George.
Woke up refreshed after a nice night out in town.
Very accommodating! We had to go to George for an inter-school weekend, but could only stay one night. Bea and her team were very helpful, super friendly and made our stay so easy.
I have stayed in a lot of B&B's and hotels and this was most definitely one of my least favorites. To begin with, there is no welcome chocolate like other B&B's, not even a cookie for the tea. We had dirty towels in our room and the electric banket didn't work. The breakfast was delicious.
Great place to stay, no fuss or complicated processes.
People were very friendly and food was very tasty. Good area not too far from shops. Room was very neat.
The service at French Lodge International is by far the best service we have ever had. All the people who work there are very friendly and helpful. They even packed lunch boxes for the children for school.
Really enjoyed it and will definitely go there again. Thank you very much for the good service.
The place is beautiful and the service is outstanding. For me it's the location, the lodge would be superbly perfect if it was on the outskirts, away from CBD noise. Other than that, I had a magnificent time and everyone was friendly.
"Perfect little gem in the heart of George, breakfast was very nice" — Emelda (friend). "Indescribable experience" — Zubrina
Clean, accommodating place. Awesome breakfast.
They assisted me with everything I needed and was a generally great stay.
Quiet and very friendly staff
Beautiful place with friendly service. Units are clean and tidy.
We had a wonderful stay, thank you very much!
Friendly staff. Delicious breakfast. Good size room and it's equipped with everything you need. Great location.
Comfortable room. Nice jacuzzi. Spacious rondavel units around the pool are nice and cozy.
It was a pleasant overnight stay. Special arrangements were made to receive us after hours. Delicious breakfast by a friendly chef. We found it rather strange that there were only small cherries in the rondavels to use when load shedding hit us there - and this when there are all kinds of cheap options for lighting on the market.
Friendly service and the facilities are very neat. Really enjoyed the breakfast too. Will definitely book here again.
From reception to the end was really very good quality. It's neat and the breakfast was very nice. Will choose you again next time.
Natasha was awesome, and went out of her way to assist.
Friendly and competent staff immediately made us feel at home. Everything was clean and tidy, we will definitely stay there again when we are in George. I can definitely recommend French Lodge! We had a wonderful visit, ate and rested. The staff is extremely professional, helpful and friendly. Ten out of ten for everything!
Like I said the best place ever to stay. I would definitely go there again and advise people to use French Lodge International.
We could have relaxed after we went to work in George at the blood bank was very peaceful.
Luxury and affordable accommodation that serves delicious breakfast with fantastic pool.
Just staying over for one night was enough. The people there were friendly and helpful. However, the hot tub did not work as intended.
Quiet even though located in a main road. Friendly and helpful staff. Excellent! Beautiful lodge with surprises in the garden as you walk to you room.
I would recommend French Lodge International to my friends. Enjoyed our stay and all visitors was happy and friendly.
Fortune received us kindly and we immediately felt at home. He made an extra effort to accommodate our freezers in the kitchen. Furthermore, he served the most delicious breakfast in a peaceful atmosphere. We could see that his work is his passion for him and this contributed to our positive experience at the lodge. Thanks for the nice experience. We will definitely use your hospitality again.
I definitely consider this place my home away from home. Breakfast was also amazing, highly recommended.
Friendly sevice. Stellar breakfast and braai facility. Rooms really spacious.
Everything was exactly as advertised on the website and better. Would definitely recommend.
Garden is breathtakingly beautiful. Liked the calm atmosphere. We asked to check in earlier than 2pm and were allowed. Slept well. Relax in Jacuzzi. Fortune, the cook, is a man of a thousand. Believe he is appreciated. He was our photographer. Omelettes were top notch.
Friendly welcome. Went out of their way to help us.
Felt at home immediately. Reception was excellent.
A friendly man named Fortune (he is the chef) helped us and provided all information. He is excellent! Give him a raise. He also recommended places to visit and as he explained, so it was. Fortune was our right hand. Many thanks to him.
We would stay there again.
Nice center and omelettes delicious.
Awesome was die bly daar.
Very nice place, good atmosphere. Love the layout of the cottages around the pool. Nice breakfast. Worth the money.
Staff very friendly.
Beautiful place and friendly service.
We had car problems, they offered their help to drive us back and forth to sort out the car. Nothing was too much trouble for them
Skoon, gemaklik en uitstekende diens. Goeie ontbyt.
The location is ideal with ample secure indoor parking. The rooms are spacious and clean. The reception was very warm. The breakfast was freshly prepared and very tasty. Definitely a must if you spend the night in George.
We were met by a very friendly gentleman. We were expected and was helped immediately. He welcomed us by name. He explained everything clearly. Stress Free. Will definitely go back and highly recommend to family and friends. Will stay longer the next time.
Super Empfehlung, we would have liked to have stayed longer.
French Lodge is well located, easy to find. Staff are friendly and always more than helpful.
We will definitely see you again.
Many thanks to Natasha and her team. They carried us on their hands. Dining room is beautiful and breakfast was very tasty.
"Upmarket", central, great service.
Had a great time here and staff were incredibly friendly. Highly recommend place to stay.
The lodge has a great location on the main street. It's very convenient and close to restaurants and businesses. The only complaint I have is that there wasn't hot water when we got back to the unit after our function. Seeing as every unit had a bubble bath, it would be better if every unit had it's own geyser. But in the morning there was hot water for a nice shower and a lovely breakfast.
