The lady was friendly at reception our checking in was fast and efficient. Was a bit disappointed that there was no kettle, tea, coffee, milk and sugar in the room. The room was clean and spacious. In the bathroom in was another picture. The bath was not clean, so we did not use it. The toilet seat was loose when sit on it, it move. We are nog very big nor fat people. The Aircon was a lifesaver.

Just fix few touch ups like there was no shower gel or shampoo in the bathroom, my car was not parked in a shelter. Overall we had a very nice time and the staff was so friendly.

The place is not the true picture of what is displayed on the website. The room is small, with bori g channels that does ot accomodate us Africans. The room that we were allocated to was smelly without window except the bathroom. Their beds are finished and old including the beddingand towels. The shower is dirty without a door, its a curtain. They must change the shower rose/ head it is soo oudated and dark, no light. In the room there is no kettle or tea as a matter of courtesy. Therr is only one plug and it is situated behind the headboard which is making it difficult to have an access to it and use it.Lastly they should charge less price as the place is not to the standard . Im sorry i cannot reccomend this place to anyone.

I needed reasonably priced accommodation when taking a guest to the Pilanesberg Game Reserve, North West Province, South Africa. Valley View Guest House fitted the requirement perfectly. Angela Colovita, daughter of owner Michele Colavita was very welcoming. The setting of this venue is just beautiful. The rooms are simple and comfortable, our dinner was excellent and after our early morning safari drive, breakfast was ready, freshly prepared for us. Good value, great service and gorgeous surroundings.

We spent 5 days from dec 28th to jan 1st. Because of our flight we arrived very late (2 AM) but the manager waited after us. we had very nice rooms with good bed, clean bathroom, a fridge, a fan (no A/C but still OK). we were very close to the pilanesberg park. the chef was really good: the breakfasts were various, the dinners excellent, and they even made us a picnic pack one day. the swimming pool was small but nice, and we really appreciated the fireworks of new year's eve and angela, who takes care of the customer relationship, was really helpful: the perfect host! finally the bill was very low in comparison with what we had... thus we highly recommend it oliver & french friends

I have just returned from 3 days in Pilanesberg on a "photo safari" & must say my stay at Valley View was really great, simple, comfortable, clean, fantastic value for money & very conveniently situated +- 3km from the Manyane Gate. The Italian owner, Michele, was very welcoming, helpful & friendly which was a breath of fresh air! The extra cost to enter Pilanesberg N/Park each day, rather than stay in the run down & overpriced self catering accommodation in the park, was well worth it for the benefit of having my own air conditioned room, en suite bathroom, comfy double bed, fluffy soft duvet & pillows, not to mention the terrific home made & tasty meals!! I will definitely be back!

First room was dodgy No 6 my son had us moved which they were quite happy to do, A larger room not as bright as the advert suggests but nevertheless quite comfortable, it was only for one night. The food was not chef's style (thank goodness) but good home cooked meal that was enjoyable, there again we only had dinner. Area? a mixture of both black and white which was different but well worth the visit, sun rise over the tops of the rooves was a sight to behold. Owners? very hospitable people

Hi Angela, Just a note to say thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality at ValleyView over the weekend of the 15th September. Your wonderful service really added to the wedding experience. We felt welcome as if we were staying with family. Thank you again for the sparkling wine for me and my girls. It helped calm a few nerves. Everyone that stayed there enjoyed their time at ValleyView.

My husband and I were looking for a reasonably priced hotel in the Pilanesburg area, and saw good reviews for this place. We initially booked two nights, but ended up adding a third night. We were extremely pleased with our stay. We found the hotel to be well centered in relation to many nearby area activities. The rates were quite reasonable, and the cost included a delicious and filling breakfast. The rooms and hotel were very secure and very clean. We also found the hostess Angela to be friendly and extremely helpful. She went out of her way in helping us with our many activities. We were sad to leave.

After a disastrous day travelling from Gaborone to Valley View, we immediately felt safe and comfortable. The food was beyond words. The best meals I have ever had. All employees were friendly and helpful! The service was the main attraction at this Guest House, the team went beyond any expectations, arranging taxis, keeping the bar open late, even dropping us at sun city with a small tour of the resort. Angela showed us the service all accommodation should strive to achieve. The rooms were all you needed, comfortable beds, en-suite bathrooms a tv and very clean. And if all this hasn't sold you the view surrounding the guest house is breath taking, rolling hills, of the Pilanesberg national park and a balcony to take it all in. 10/10 for this wonderful guest house.

Hi Angela Sorry about not saying good bye to you but my brother came to fetch me to visit at Manyane and then David and Kayla checked us out. Thank you for a awesome time stay. I must say Valley View is the best B&B we have stayed in so far and we do quite a lot of traveling so you will be seeing a lot of us. The two early birds are still raving about your "breakfast takeway" and I have now asked them to shut up as I am starting to feel that maybe that hot stone massage was not such a good idea! Thank you to you and your staff for going the extra mile for us. Regards Ingrid, Kayla and David

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It's only a few minutes drive from the park entrance, lovely pool and really helpful staff. When we told them one morning we wouldn't need breakfast because we were leaving at 5am to get in the park early, they said no problem, what would we like, they would make a packed meal for us. When we left the next morning, there was the owner waiting for us with our freshly prepared breakfast. Completely recommend this place. Reviewer ratings for this hotel:

Hi Angela, I arrived back in Durban after another awesome stay at Valley View. I just wanted to formally take some time to let you know that it is really a great experience staying with you. You are always so accommodating, along with all your staff including Angela number 2. Our children feel so special and the lengths that you go to, to make them feel good and enjoy their stay is appreciated. You and your Dad run a fantastic guest house and although I do not get to visit you as often as I would like, your name always comes up when I am talking to friends and colleagues and I am always certain to recommend you. Thanks for helping to make our holiday so great. Best wishes. Regards Grant

Hi Angela How are you? Hope things are well at the guesthouse. I would like to just thank you and your father for a very enjoyable, comfortable and pleasant stay. You were very helpful and accomodating in every way and made our time in Suncity special. Particularly as we were such a large group and this was the first and probably the last family holiday together. Can I say that "you are a fabulous host, kind, friendly and very helpful", and I know that everyone would agree with me that you are what make Valley View special. Take care and a wonderful 2011 to you and your family. I hope you'll look us up in Windhoek. Regards Rozelle Bowerman

Hi Angela I thought I’d drop you a line before our short holiday becomes a distant memory. Nina and I would like to thank you and your dad for the great hospitality we received during our stay at Valley View Guesthouse. The evening meals and conversations were both excellent and your staff made us very welcome too. We still hope to make time to bring our family over for lunch when they are over from the UK. We have tried the salad dressing recipe but it isn’t as good as yours. Please send the recipe again, by return email, as I would love to get it right Thanks Again Ed

Hullo Angela Thanks for making our stay at your lodge so pleasant over the past weekend. We received very friendly bright smiles, friendly service, the guest house is lovely and above all it certainly was value for money. Your staff are very helpful. The treatment at the spa and the workout at the gym was great to have. My little son with the HUGE muscles also enjoyed himself, felt free and spoke his heart out whenever he felt. Pardon us for his activeness, he is very energetic. He did tell me: "Dad I love this place". So that is proof enough. Thanks for hosting us and being so flexible at breakfast..... and also for your hospitality,.... it was fabulous. We look forward to coming back when we do visit the area. Best Regards Sanjith

Great location, 5 minutes from the entrance gate to the Pilanesberg Game Reserve and good view out over the valley from the terrace to watch the spectacular lightning storms that frequnetly occur in this area in summer. Our room was lovely, spacious and extremely clean. The air con worked well to cool the room at night. The staff could not have been more helpful, arranging a take-away breakfast so that we could get up very early to get into the game reserve for dawn. Overall we found our stay here fantastic.

Amazing food and very accommodating hosts!” Our host was quite the chef...... really amazing dinners and very reasonable. The elevated patio was great for evening cocktails and enjoying the view. A/C in our rooms would have been nice as it was quite hot when we were there, but otherwise a very enjoyable stay.

We were a group of 18 people that stayed at Valley View Guest house near the Pilansberg over New Year 2009/2010. The rooms were clean and neat and comfortable. The only down-side was that not all rooms were air-conditioned and was very hot during the day. Pool,gym and gardens were lovely. What makes this guest house special is the absolutley superb service and hospitality. The owner and his daughter go out of their way in every way to ensure you have a wonderful stay and nothing was too much trouble. Its a quick drive to sun city and Pilansberg from the guest house, and I felt it offered excellent value for money
