Guest Reviews

Katharina (6/5): - Die Lodge liegt sehr schön,toller Ausblick, aber der ganze Ablauf ist noch verbesserungsfähig.
Yuliya (2/5): - Was left stranded outside the gate with no access no instructions. Gate would not open even though wr drove up to it. Phone lines dead. Had no option but to drive away feeling very sad and extremely dissapointed. Drove off into the dark desert looking for a last minute booking which ended up being 1.5 hours drive away. Management said no refund once they finally contacted us in a new telephone number that neither us or hotels.com had been provided with. Still waiting for some sort of apology for ruining the last night of our holiday
ISABELLE (4/5): Đécevant - L'hotel est en cours de renovation. Malheureusement, nos 2 chambres ne l etaient pas encore ! Salle de bain minuscule avec toilette incluse. On nous a proposé de faire un petit tour dans la réserve en 4x4. Cela nous a été facturé 300 Rand soit env 18,50 euros par personne:pour 45 mn: tres cher pour voir 2 springboks. Globalement, tres décevant...il n'y a aucun intérêt à être hébergé dans cet hôtel car les safaris se font dans les réserves privées des environs
FRANCOISE (4/5): - On vous propose une balade dans la reserve et surprise au checn out balade d1h facturee 300rand par personne. Excessif quand vous payez 328 a addo pour la journée. Repas du soir non inclus dans le prix avec hotel .com et facture 250 rand par personne. Pas d'animaux oj pej de vusible dsnw la eeserve. Tres decus.
Gilboa (10/5): Great hospitality in a remote place - Loodt was very helpful. He suggested to pick us in the night from a nearby train station, on a short notice and with no extra payment. The staff were great and kept adapting to the young kids food request (great Lasagna!) The garden is a magnificent place for kids - lots of nice paths to run in between. The remoteness has its advantages -sky full of stars in the evening
