Enjoyed the stay. Will visit again.
Exceptional staff service and excellent breakfast. Spa services and the gym are a standout feature. They managed to procure a second room for us at short notice.

👎 Disliked
- • Blind in the bathroom missing slats which is not ideal when you are right by the walkway. Pillows need replacing. The inner rooms are just not the same without the outer room views. Second room smelled of damp.
The location is very beautiful in the middle of nature and the room is very spacious

Great staff, Great Breakfast, Open to addressing mistakes and a generally very warm vibe!
An edit to my review of April of 2026: Love it when institutions take reviews that are not so positive as an opportunity to do better. It's July 2026 and I am once again a happy SImola Client! Again I must mention the kitchen- room service is extraordinary! The meals are a solid 10/10! Upon my previous review, they reached out and they made it better! We visited again this July and every single flag I had raised was addressed. A big thank you to Roxanne and Team for going above and beyond- we had a really excellent time- This is the Simola we know!!! The little 'Welcome back to the family' note was a lovely touch! The star of Simola are the staff- particularly the manager/front desk/ reception and the kitchen staff As returning customers it was amazing that they remembered us almost exactly two years to the date. Breakfast at Simola is always a treat and the general ambience and safety is definitely up there

- • July 2026 updated review - Stayed at unit 7B- cleaning staff did a good job, Views are gorgeous! Thank you! Pains me to see how in the last two years things have deteriorated. Two years ago I gave a 10/10 for everything. Now I can’t even give a 5/10 for cleanliness . Did Simola change their cleaning staff? The cleaning is PISS poor!
Great hilltop location with superb views of Knysna and the lagoon. The hotel has excellent facilities for dining and re
