    If you seeking serenity, this is a place to go

    The stay was great, the lodge is beautiful and clean. Perfect place if you seeking some quiet time away from the City.The lake view was amazing too. The only challenge we experienced was having to drive out the lodge to get Lunch and Dinner, we hoped that the Lodge restaurant would provide not only breakfast but other meals as well.

    Lovely stay

    It was a lovely place, I think just adding a few things like, bedside tables, perhaps a small fridge and kettle would have made a difference. I know they are very new and we thoroughly did enjoy our stay.

    A hidden gem

    My stay at Metsi Matso Lodge was very pleasant. The staff were friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to cater to my special requests to make my stay that much more pleasant. The lodge is surrounded by a picturesque landscape and moutain range. Definitely recommended if you want to get "away from it all" to rejuvenate the body, mind and soul.

    Great discovery

    I needed time to myself for recharging, and this was so perfect place, a real gem. Great serene lodge away from madding crowds, just what the doctor ordered.

  • 4,0.Fair

    Aussergewöhnlich schöne Lage direkt in den Bergen mit Blick auf den Stausee. Wir waren die einzigen Gäste. Das Restaurant konnte kein Abendessen anbieten. Frühstück wäre überteuert (165R) möglich gewesen. Es gab einen Kamin im Chalet, aber kein Holz. Ersatzweise gab es eine Elektroheizung. Das war am Abend noch ok. In der Nacht fiel jedoch der Strom aus und es wurde kalt. Am morgen gab es kein warmes Wasser. Das Personal war nicht aufzufinden, die Rezeption verschlossen.

    Du jamais vu !

    Hôtel réservé un mois en avance, payé en totalité via Hotels.com. En arrivant, attente de 30 minutes pour finalement nous expliquer que les chalets sont complets. Parce que oui, ils ont eu le culot d'accepter un groupe quelques jours auparavant (soit plus de 3 semaines après notre réservation + payement). 1/ Situation aberrante ! 2/ Ils n'ont même pas eu le professionnalisme de nous prévenir en avance pour qu'on puisse se faire rembourser et chercher un autre logement. Nous avons fait 1h de route pour nous retrouver "à la rue". 3/ Ils n'ont pas eu la descence de réserver un logement avant notre arrivée... ils ont contacté leurs connaissances pendant 1h pour finir par trouver une guesthouse à 40 km. 4/ Pas de remboursement réalisé. Ils n'avaient soit disant aucun liquide de disponible .... 5/ Comme par hasard, le gérant n'était pas disponible : impossible de collecter son numéro de téléphone ou son mail pour en discuter avec lui ... 6/ Nous avons dormi dans une guesthouse de secours mais sans le confort recherché initialement : pas de restaurant, situation en pleine ville (VS la nature pour les chalets). En conclusion, manque total de professionnalisme ! Nous aurions pu accepter le statut complet de l'hôtel, s'ils nous avaient prévenus en avance ou s'ils avaient anticipé la situation, en nous donnant directement notre nouvelle adresse (et non en essayant de trouver une solution de dernière minute pendant 1H ).
