Guest Reviews
- James (10/5): - The staff were all friendly and accommodating to my needs. The room was great and big enough for all my equipment that I had to keep with me.
- Selby (3/5): -
- Derek (10/5): -
- Mokgadi (8/5): -
- Vusumuzie (6/5): - Location Nothing
- Mpho (10/5): - The place is good for your money Everything was perfect
- Faneriwa (8/5): -
- Eduard (10/5): -
- Raffaella (8/5): soggiornerei nuovamente - posizione, possibilità di fare un check-in fuori dall’orario e la gentilezza del personale. niente, un appunto poco varia la colazione
- Khaukanani (8/5): Memorable and truly enjoyable - The room was very clean and the staff very polite and helpful. The location of the place very convenient and close to other amenities like supermarkets and filling station.
- Bastien (8/5): Pratique - Accueil du personnel
Petit déjeuner très correct
Emplacement proche du parc Kruger porte phalarbawa Un Peu rustique et vieillot
- Bjørn Lasse (8/5): Dejligt sted - God morgenmad og service. Sengen var desværre meget hård og ukomfortabel.
- Ntshavheni (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent breakfast and location is easily reachable. Nothing
- David (4/5): Disappointing - Breakfast was fine
- Vuxaka (9/5): Superb -
- Sebanti (5/5): it was possable but improvements are required for the place. Benchmark with price range hotels - the place is nice but for the price you expect a 3 star hotel service and this is not the case. The breakfast is very restrictive. It seems like the place has limited budget for breakfast and choices are non-existence.
- Gabedi (6/5): Pleasant -
- Aleksandr (8/5): Good place to stay - This is not my first stay. Convenient location. There is a gas station with a good store nearby. Very friendly staff, clean rooms, delicious dinner. I don't like the very dim light in the room. I have to turn on all the lamps to somehow light up the room. There is a desk and a chair, but they are very uncomfortable for work. The bathroom also has very dark walls and poor lighting, so it is uncomfortable to shave.
- Kedibone45 (7/5): Good - It's clean,it's next to the amenities and very easy to find as it's just by the road..breakfast was really nice,I loved the silence thru the night,we had to swim with my kids and it was just a fun place.have stayed in PHB for long and relocated but it was for the first time I booked the place..am impressed 👍 That at the reception the old man didn't tell me his name,I felt like he was just not so happy I don't know could be wrong,but I just sensed because he didn't introduce himself it was just awkward for me.
The people that's working there are definitely noisemakers in the morning,around six I had to wake up because someone was screaming for someone and I don't think they do consider the guests.

- Willem (8/5): Thank you so much for a pleasurable stay. - Basic but good.
- Zahraa (6/5): Pleasant - The fact that they were able to accommodate us with our special breakfast request. The room was quite small and the bathroom door was not a full door.
- Noémi (7/5): Good - Very nice staff, good breakfast and close to the Krüger Phalaborwa gate. The room is very dark, there was no proper lighting. The fridge is next to the bed, it is very annoying and noisy. We are not sure if it is always the case, but when we arrived, there was a tons of mosquitos in the room. It is malaria zone, so it would be great if they have mosquito net on the windows and have some precautions.

- ANACLETO (8/5): Parada próximo de portão do Kruger Park - O local está bem perto de um dos portões do Kruger. Parada estratégica para quem quer partir a viagem. Só achei estranho o cafe da manhã porque precisei falar com 3 pessoas para pedir 2 ovos a mais. Não achei isso legal.

- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tiyani (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sara (7/5): Good - Friendly staff and lovely cute cat 🧡 Would have loved to be able to use the swimming pool (reason why we chose to stay there) - it didn’t look clean despite the staff managed to filter away dirt with a net.
- Verster (10/5): Amazing place for a one night stay or even a few days - The front lady was very kind and helpful. When we got there, she quickly helped us and handled the paperwork so we could go relax. She was 6 because it was n hot day, she gave us a room close to the pool. There is a security guard who is on duty the entire day and night, as well as a gate that gets closed at night, but that is no problem since everyone gets a remote to come and go as they please. The aircon worked great and there was n fridge hidden in the small cupboard next to the bed. There is nothing bad to say.
- Ray (7/5): We enjoyed our stay, would visit again. - Breakfast was good. Location great. Comfortable room, but Lighting not so good, Room rather dark, decoration needs to be lightened up.
- Lucia (5/5): Passable - I like the location of the facility and it's surroundings are clean. I did not like the fact that I paid for my accommodation and did not use it because when I arrived at the guest house, no one responded to the call.
- Ndamulelo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Abundance (10/5): A very relaxing stay - It’s clean. The location is quiet and very relaxing. It’s close to all the shops you need. Not very far from Kruger national park. The host was welcoming and friendly. The food was nice too. We really enjoyed our stay Maybe if it had more accessible recycling bins then it would’ve been more than perfect
