Riboville Boutique Hotel and Restaurant

The look, setting and ambience is simply stunning as is the interior, artwork, gardens and views. Certainly looks world class. Experience with reception and other staff throughout the stay was really great. When staying in a five star establishment though, the room really has to be the highlight and it wasn't. We got moved because of a minor issue but both rooms are really in need of some TLC. The curtains are coming off the rails, don't close properly. The wood furniture is really dated. Electrical plugs are in silly places and we had two switches which were not functioning. Our coffee machine was leaking water. The door in the one room could not close and had to be latched with an ugly latch. Baths are really small in comparison to a very large and comfy shower. External window frames are buckled and windows struggle to close. In summary, fantastic setting, views and ambience but the rooms need some serious upgrades and ongoing TLC. Staff were great!

Great stay, big room, but the tv was old, not a smart tv and there were no coffee in the room. The staff could have been friendlier as well. The doors in the area where the rooms are were very load and woke us more than once during the evening.

Set in the beautiful waterfall equestrian estate, a five-star destination, Riboville boutique hotel, flaunting a picturesque castellan barn architecture, overlooking the greenest polo field, makes for a scenic spot to enjoy a sundowner just before delighting your palate with a delicious meal prepared by their uber talented chef. I opted for the springbok carpaccio roses as a starter and the duck as a main, and the flavours and textures were perfection. Mike ordered the sushi, which was so fresh and delicious, it melted in your mouth. Dessert, was too good to turn down, every calorie Riboville goes beyond being just a restaurant and boutique hotel, as they provide a glimpse into the quintessential lifestyle, boasting an exclusive range of premium local and international wine collections, and leaving you in the very capable hands of Brian, their sommelier, who is there to guide you when looking for the perfect wine to pair with your meal. And if you have a keen eye for art, the Riboville Art Gallery exhibits works from the continents emerging contemporary artists and designers. All in all our experience at Riboville was elegant and relaxing, and we were well taken care of by their very efficient staff.

The staff is excellent! While the hotel/rooms could do with an upgrade, the staff is top-notch (and they are currently updating the rooms).

Our visit was highly disappointing. I chose the property as it was close to work and for the amenities for my spouse. The pool was closed, the gym was 1km away and the staff did not know about the hiking paths. The food was good, and the spa person was very good. We asked for some repairs on our room and rather than doing a quick fix as required the room was not available for the entire afternoon. The staff were aware of the issues mentioned and comped us a meal, but the point of choosing the property was lost due to the issues with amenities.

We could not rest the hotel is extremely noisy from early in the morning with cleaning staff and patron making a noise from 6am. It was not a restful at experience. The hotel surrounding is nice and rooms are big and spacious

Amazing hotel, 45mins away from the airport just outside of joberg centre. Rooms, service, food all excellent and will look to stay here again when on business! Taxi service provided by hotel was safe, reliable and reasonably priced to take me to the office. Thank you!

A small boutique hotel in a beautiful setting with beautiful gardens. The location is excellent, offering a serene environment but close to shopping areas and the mall of Africa. Room was exquisite with a large king size bed. The restaurant was a letdown - pricey but service slow and not attentive

It was a very nice stay. Very big and spacious rooms and well done to the chef and his team, the food was really good. The staff are very friendly. We have been here on previous occasions. Will definately return again and hopefully be able to stay a bit longer.
