"Eine super Location, wenn man Safaris im Schotia oder Addo plant. Fussläufig gibt es nicht wirklich viel, aber mit dem A"

10.0

Die Lage zu Addo und Schotia ist unschlagbar. Das Abendessen war exzellent und lohnt sich auf jeden Fall!

"Mixed Feelings"

6.0

Der Raum war großzügig, das Abendessen sehr authentisch und sehr nettes Personal

Aber: der Raum war feucht. Handtücher und Bettwäsche rochen deutlichst muffig. Insgesamt hellhörig. Die Fenster konnte man nur bedingt öffnen, da Lärm und, schlimmer noch, Zigarettenrauch ins Zimmer kamen.

"Very disappointed!!!"

1.0

The chef and the chef team!

1. We are a husband and wife traveling with our 6-year-old son. We booked two nights, but upon arrival we were unhappy with the location, as the hotel is very close to the highway. We asked if it was possible to receive a refund for one night and stay only one night instead, but the request was refused. We eventually left after one night. During the night, loud truck noise from the highway made it difficult to sleep. The staff explained that refunds were not possible because we booked last minute, which was disappointing and unprofessional. 2. At check-in, we were informed that there were mosquitoes in the room and that geckos would eat them. No mosquito repellent was provided. As a result, we were unable to sleep until 3:00 a.m. When we informed a staff member about our uncomfortable stay, his response was, “This is Africa, and you are lucky because the mosquitoes do not carry sickness.” This comment was made without any apology and was completely unacceptable. 3. The swimming pool is not suitable for proper swimming. It looks more like a small fish pond meant only for cooling down. 4.The dinner buffet was average and not worth the price. However, there are no other nearby dining options, so guests have little choice but to eat at the hotel. Please think carefully before booking. There are many accommodations that do not require advance booking and may offer better value and comfort.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit gemütlichen und gut ausgestatteten Zimmern. Kleiner aber schöner Pool. Die Lage ist perfekt, nur wenige Minuten zum Gate. Unbedingt das Abendessen mitnehmen. Sehr lecker und abwechslungsreich.

"Ein traumhafter Ort zum länger verweilen"

10.0

Wir haben schon viel gesehen, aber diese Lodge ist einfach das Beste an Ausstattung, Komfort, Service und Freundlichkeit der Mitarbeiter! Ein großer Dank an Semonia, Ruan und das ganze Team! Man fühlt sich wie in einer Oase vir den Toren des Nationalparks! Vielen Dank und wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Da gibt es einfach nichts!
