Guest Reviews

• Molefe (10/5): -
• yuval (9/5): Amazing and unforgettable experience! - First, It’s amazing location - impalas and zebras come to the place. Also giraffes in the area. Good stuff and good environment. Everything was very comfortable. Myrese the owner is great and helpful. Very good breakfast! Thank you. I recommend to combine self driving and organized tour. The only think it’s the hot water in shower that always come and go.. you need to stop the water and turn on again every 1-2 min.. I don’t know, maybe it’s specific problem, I told them and they said they will fix it.
• Rene (10/5): Liebevolles Frühstück zubereitet, Personal sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Viele Tiere kamen zum Frühstück in den Garten - Alles sensationell: Personal Frühstück Zimmer Lage Alles war wunderbar
• Dion (8/5): - Nice a cozy location, very helpful and friendly staff.
• Nuno (9/5): -
• Christiane (10/5): Perfect - We had a wonderful stay at the safari lodge and truly enjoyed the whole experience. The atmosphere was very warm, relaxing, and authentic, which made our stay even more special. The manager was incredibly helpful and always reachable. Everything was perfectly organized, and she really made sure that we felt comfortable throughout our stay. A special thank you also to Junior and Elliot — they were amazing hosts and took such great care of us. They were always attentive and seemed to know what we needed before we even asked. The road to the lodge can be a little bumpy and might be slightly challenging with a normal car, but we managed it without problems. Our room was a bit small, but absolutely sufficient and cozy. The bathroom was especially beautiful and very well maintained. One of our favorite moments was the breakfast with animals in the garden — such a unique and unforgettable experience. We also really appreciated that vegetarian dinner options were prepared for us. The food was delicious and thoughtfully made. Overall, we had an amazing time and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a special experience.

• Emma (10/5): Cute lodge with comfy beds and awesome wildlife - Lovely small lodge, with comfy beds, and a great breakfast. Had lots of wildlife come say hello! Pool was very murky and felt slimy. There were no drinks to purchase, so would bring your own.
• Juan Lucas (7/5): - Ubicación cercana al parque Kruger y personal super amable y atento El camino para llegar no está en el mejor estado; se escuchan bastante las demás habitaciones
• Carol (10/5): -
• Serge (8/5): Bel endroit en sortie du parc Kruger qui permet de rester dans l’ambiance reserve animalière avec un excellent rapport q - Le petit déjeuner entouré de gnous, phacochères, zèbres et impalas. Juste un manque de chaises ou support dans la chambre pour poser des affaires
• Otero (9/5): Ótima Experiência - Lodge é uma graça, super bem recepcionados e com ótima localização para o Crocodile Bridge Gate. Ele fica localizado dentro do Marloth Park no qual ja é uma experiência única de safari. Apenas meu ponto negativo é que como o quarto é pequeno e com carpete, e a ventilação é bloqueada devido a segurança de animais, depois de uso chuveiro o quarto fica com cheiro de úmido forte.
• Cynthia (1/5): - The breakfast The room was small difficult to walk in it..u need to squeeze ur self between the wall and the bed to pass .the carpet was smelling so bad and blocked my nose.
• Neo (8/5): -
• Mandy (10/5): Would most certainly return! - Beautiful property in a fantastic location Everything was perfect!
• Guido (9/5): Heerlijk rustig verblijf tegen Kruger aan - Vriendelijk personeel en dicht bij Kruger nationaal park Er liggen heel veel andere accomodaties naast deze. Maar tijdens het verblijf zelf niks van gezien/gehoord/gemerkt
• Mpho (10/5): -
• JUANITA (9/5): would have stayed longer if our schedule made it possible - Breakfast was good, staff was very attentive only breakfast is provided, you have to go out for late night meals, which is ok.
• Annah (10/5): -
• Chene (7/5): -
• Vongani (4/5): Bad decision I have ever made - Nothing much I was under the impression that I have the Apartment to myself, no privacy it’s a student commune, shared kitchen, damn the breakfast was awful compared to what I know every where I travel, bad experience, not value for money, the bed very small, I woke up tired every morning, I would not recommend it to anyone.
• Luana (10/5): Spetacular - Everything amazing, the interaction with the animals made everything even more special! The employees are spectacular, I loved it so much!
• Philip (9/5): - Very nice place quiet suroundings and animals came upto the door, excellent swimming pool and BBQ facility.
• Ana (7/5): -
• Markus (9/5): - Danke für das leckere Frühstück und den tollen Aufenthalt. Wünschen euch weiterhin alles Gute! Das Frühstück war das beste auf unserer Reise
• Mickael (9/5): -
• kenalepe (8/5): -
• Jéssica (9/5): Amazing and Cosy experience - The property is very clean and cosy. There you can have a good time and also see some animals at the property. The best part was the host, Xolile was very nice and helped us with food and transport, the staying was better because of her.
• Santosh Kumar (7/5): -
• Jerome (10/5): super endroit pour rester - le lodge est beau la chambre est petite mais a tout ce qu’il faut petite cafetière nespresso et bouilloire agréable le lit est très confortable la terrasse est magnifique et tous les animaux viennent librement l’employée oliday était très gentille le petit déjeuner était délicieux eau disponible sur place rien
• Zandile (10/5): -
• Annika (9/5): - Schöne Unterkunft mit allem was man braucht. Bei dem Preis mehr als ausreichend. Lediglich die Anfahrt, also die "Straße" war sehr holprig.
• mirella (10/5): -
• mirella (10/5): -
• Daniells (9/5): ótimo custo benefício - O lugar é muito jeitoso. A anfitriã é muito querida. Preparou nossa jantar e super recomendo, estava ótimo. Em geral o lugar é confortável, cama boa e limpa. Tudo simples mas muito bem decorado. Acho que a área comum poderia ser mais limpa.
• Werner (9/5): Großer Komfort für kleines Geld! - Top ausgestattet, freundliche Gastgeber, hervorragendes Frühstück. Möglichkeit zum Buchen von Safari im Kruger Park (haben wir nicht genutzt , wir kamen nach unserer Kruger Zeit dort an). Preis-Leistung hervorragend. Anfahrt im Ort sehr holprig, vorsichtig fahren! Alles gut!
• Jolanta (1/5): Najgorszy hotel, jaki kiedykolwiek zamówiłam - Nic mi się nie podobało. Obiekt nie poinformował nas, że drogi dojazdowe do hotelu są nieprzejezdne dla zwykłego samochodu. Po intensywnych deszczach drogi były pełne wyrw i kamieni i tylko samochód z napędem na 4 koła mógłby nimi przejechać. Próbowaliśmy się skontaktować z obiektem na WhatsAppie, aby uzyskać jakąkolwiek informację, jak możemy dotrzeć do obiektu albo czy mogliby po nas przyjechać. Nikt nie odpisywał na wiadomości ani nie odbierał telefonu. Miejscowi ludzie chcieli nam pomóc i dzwonili ze swoich telefonów do obiektu, też nikt nie odbierał. Ostatecznie w środku nocy musielibyśmy na własną rękę szukać innego noclegu i ponieść koszty dodatkowego noclegu. Dużo podróżujemy po świecie i jeszcze nigdy nie spotkaliśmy się z taką sytuacją. Zostaliśmy w środku nocy pozostawieni przez ten hotel bez pomocy. Nie polecam nikomu tam nocować. Domagam się zwrotu całej kwoty, jaką zapłaciliśmy za ten hotel. Brak profesjonalizmu ze strony właścicieli jest przerażający.
• Altan (10/5): Super Aufenthalt mit Pool und Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis - Es wurde sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert. Wir haben sogar ein Lunchpaket bekommen, welches vor unserer Safari am Morgen noch zubereitet wurde 👍🏾
• Pauline (9/5): Joli et cosy - La chambre était petite mais cosy et la salle de bain très agréable. Nous sommes arrivés après la nuit tombée et repartis très tôt le matin donc nous n’avons pas vraiment profité des autres infrastructures. La route d’accès était très difficile surtout de nuit
• Ndhlovu (9/5): Our stay was comfortable and wonderful! - Staff were super helpful. Xoli was friendly, respectful and very accommodating. The food was fair, in relation to the cost. It was the same breakfast for the 2 consecutive days of our stay. I was disappointed that they didn't serve plain (greek) yoghurt. Room was a bit too small for the two of us to freely maneuver around at once. We had to wait turns to allow space for each of us.
• Anouck (9/5): - Logement très agréable et propre. Petit dejeuné excellent. Piscine agréable. Très bon repas le soir au redtaurant. Je recommande. Dans la description booking ce n'est pas évidant qu'il y a une cuisine commune à disposition. Si on doit rester plusieurs jours l'information semble importante.
• Kwanele (9/5): -
• Hans (9/5): Wonderful setting and very helpful staff. - Great setting with direct access to wildlife, basically joining you for outdoor breakfast. Room is a bit small and bed small for two adults.
• Oksana (9/5): Исключительно приятный лодж - Лодж предлагал организовать нам трансфер из аэропорта, мы решили найти такси на месте и отказались. Ничего не выиграли, только потратили время. Так что если авто не арендуете, смело берите трансфер от отеля. Мы в итоге взяли трансфер на обратной дороге. Персонал прекрасен. Исключительно вежливый и приятный, быстро реагирует на просьбы, пытается помочь. Номер небольшой, но все аккуратно, стилизовано в тематике Сафари, чисто и визуально приятно. В ванной есть шампунь, кондиционер для волос, мыло и крем для рук, что очень приятно. В отеле заказывали ужины по предварительно присланному меню. Очень понравились. Очень вкусно. В день заезда у меня был день рождения, отель комплиментарно обеспечил нас вином на ужине. Также через лодж брали сафари. Дневное и вечернее. Все прошло отлично, только положительные впечатления. От отеля можно дойти до Spar, если хочется что-то купить. Не близко, но вполне терпимо. Питьевая вода в отеле есть, это очень удобно. И конечно же отдельное удовольствие наблюдать за животными с веранды. Если бы бассейн был чуть чище, было бы отлично
• Inge (8/5): - Rigtig fin udsigt til morgenmad hvor vi kunne se både waterhoog og hjort. Personalet var ikke specielt venligt.
• Ettienne (9/5): Perfect - Nice and private location, right in the bush with animals roaming around. Nice big pool too The staff were amazing
• Luiza (10/5): Agradável e confortável - Tudo! Vieram animais ao pequeno almoço, muito amáveis. Gostei de tudo embora a piscina pudesse estar mais limpa. De qualquer das maneiras mergulhamos e estava ótima.
• Vitor (10/5): - Tudo. Podem ignorar os comentários negativos sobre este estabelecimento. Alguns são verdadeiras mas não são negativos como parece. Outros são exagerados.
• Success (10/5): -
• franz (10/5): Super - Frühstück super mehrere Tiere im Garten
• Antoine (7/5): - Le personnel était agréable et prévenant Le petit déjeuner était bon Le lit était confortable et la chambre propre La chambre est étroite, une fois la valise ouverte il est difficile de circuler Le chemin pour y accéder est une piste très accidentée, il serait mieux d’avoir un 4x4 C’était perturbant de voir des animaux sauvages dans le jardin, qui avaient l’air très habitués à l’homme Il n’y a pas de restaurant donc il faut à nouveau utiliser le chemin de terre
• Peter-Bart (9/5): Very very good price-quality - Very Nice place and lovely crew
• Botha (4/5): mediocre. Submitted on behalf of Bradley and Simone Swanepoel - For starters the lodge was absolutely stunning, the photos on booking.com are abit outdated as there were no pool chairs (the ones in the pool) and the bond fire section has had a revamp where instead of chairs it is a nice built up area. The staff members, Junior and Elliot were absolutely amazing, super friendly and they assisted with almost everything. Unfortunately, we were slightly mislead which may have been up to personal assumptions based on photos, but we had the impression it was a private lodge, as the photos all seemed to show the same room. But it was indeed a 4 bedroom lodge which can occupy up to 8 guests at a time. The mattress was very hard, bit again, it is up to personal preference. Breakfast was amazing, too bad we didnt get any muffins like it showed on the photo. Breakfast consists of cereals, yoghurt, fruit salad, toast and a choice of wither eggs , mushrooms and tomato or an omelet. And just as photos shown, animals are constantly eating in the garden which was a real treat to see. -Simone Swanepoel Mattress uncomfortable. Misleading - Not a private lodge. Had to share. Photos of muffins on website but didnt have muffins.
• Cindy (10/5): Superbe pour 3 jours - Le calme , la maison est superbe. Le petit déjeuner incroyable La route pour y accéder était très abîmée . Ne pas avoir de restauration sur place
• Marcelle (9/5): Amazing, I will be back - Comfortable, stylish, a great breakfast spread plus a hot breakfast. Lots of wildlife roaming the grounds. Very attentive staff. All round a very enjoyable, relaxing stay. One couple who played loud music. I feel that if people enjoy listening to loud music in a serene environment then they should be restricted to using their earphones. It's noise pollution. Not everyone wants to hear your music.
• Subathra (9/5): - Loved how animals wandered inside the property There was old water in the kettle which was not cleaned.The bottled water given as complementary had some dirt floating inside
• Fabio (10/5): Perfect and will come again - Homey feeling with friendly staff Everything was amazing
• Davide (8/5): - Location Niente di che

• Louisa (5/5): Same breakfast every day and it was so dry - It was ok, pool was also warm and clean It was ok
• Alicia (6/5): Good place - Nature, you get to see some wild life.. Private and very welcoming staff Room was tiny and VERY hot.
• Winile (10/5): Welcoming and exceptional - Quality and classy Nothing
• Ntombie (9/5): Very calming and serene. The breakfast was good and the host sis Xolile was exceptionally nice. Thoroughly enjoyed our s - The whole property was kept very clean. The rooms are quite small but atleast the bathroom are somewhat specious
• Petra (10/5): Toller Aufenthalt in ruhiger Umgebung - Das Frühstück konnte auf der Terrasse genossen werden und war sehr lecker. Der Kaffee wurde frisch zubereitet(Siebträger) und schmeckte himmlisch. Kudus waren im Garten . Zimmer ist schon sehr klein.
• Godfrey (8/5): - The bedding and towels as well as coffee and sugar inside the rooms should be updated daily
• Zola (10/5): -
• Peacock (10/5): Peaceful stunning and restful - From when we arrived the staff very super friendly. The location was amazing. Super clean rooms and venue. Getting to see the wildlife around was amazing also Nothing
• Mbatha (9/5): Exceptional service!! - The host(Xolile) is a great host. The breakfast was amazing, and the overall service was exceptional.

• Serrallarga (6/5): -
• Noleto (10/5): Perfeito -
• Dawn (4/5): -
• Venkat (10/5): - Had a fantastic 3 nights stay at Imbube. Myrese,our host went out of her way to ensure all arrangements were in place especially considering our dietary preference. The property is located in a quaint portion of the park and is frequented by impalas, kudus, wathogs; giving you a feel of staying in the wild. The Panorama tour and two game drives arranged by the property, in terms of vehicle and guides. The packed breakfast and lunch was generous and made our day tours very pleasant. The property manager who is also the cook went out of her way to cook us the finest meals including the dinner table settings. All in all, a fabulous stay and couldn't recommend this more looking for a stay in Kruger.
• Demi (8/5): -
• Penteker (7/5): Gute Unterkunft. Nahe am Eingang in den Krugerpark. - Das Zimmer was gepflegt. Es gab ein gutes Frühstück. Preis war überteuert.
• Thapelo (10/5): - The peace and quiet is exactly what we needed. Xoli is so wonderful. She helped us settle in. Kept checking if we were okay. She's just amazing.
• Thandiswa (10/5): - Our stay felt like being at home, sis Xolile and the others took really good care of us. We loved everything about the place, from the atmosphere to the facilities. Nothing really
• Graeme (7/5): Average - Staff very friendly, decent breakfast Rooms too small, nothing happens after checking in. Needs to be a bit cleaner
• Eddy (5/5): Tegenvallend verblijf. - Eigenlijk niks. Had gekozen op basis van recensies en de foto’s. De foto’s van de kamer laten deze groter lijken dan in werkelijkheid. Men kon met moeite passeren tussen het bed en de muur. Er was zelfs geen stoel of dergelijke aanwezig, men moest steeds op het bed zitten. De foto’s van het ontbijt en de gemeenschappelijke ruimtes kloppen ook niet met de werkelijkheid.
• Eduard (9/5): - The breakfast was very good and they fed the wild animals next to us while we were having breakfast, was amazing to see so many animals The cottage could have been cleaner
• Gianluca (9/5): -
• Elisa (8/5): Sehr gute Unterkunft in einer vegetationsarmen Umgebung. - Die Personal war super und das Frühstück war sehr lecker. Es gab kein Mosquitonetz im Zimmer. Bis zum nächsten Supermarkt oder Restaurant benötigt man ein Auto.
• van loggerenberg (7/5): Upgrade and dirty. - Great staff and breakfast was great! Those were both exceptional. The place is just dirty. Not properly cleaned. I am not totally ocd but the place needs.aproper clean. The carpets are smelly, and the entire room smells of old mould. The cushions needs an upgrade and the towels are so thin and old from being old and washed out. Beautiful place but this small things makes a difference in a great stay. The blanket in the cupboard is old. Not washed and smelly. Smells makes a huge difference. The braai outside . The grid has never been washed we cleaned it with an onion that was given to us by the great staff But there was si much grime and oil and black liquid. It needs a proper wash with soap and a bucket. I washed the bath tub myself there was hair and the shower walls are not scrubbed As above
• Nunes (9/5): Stay was excellent - More options on the breakfast menu
• Dirk K. (7/5): Als Ausgangspunkt für den Kruger NP gut. - Als Ausgangspunkt für den Kruger NP gut. Da sehr viele Tiere im südlichen Teil zu sehen sind, würde ich eher Übernachtungen im Park empfehlen um früh starten zu können. Frühstück war nicht sehr umfangreich und für uns ab 08.00 viel zu spät und hat es hat sehr lange gedauert bis die Eier serviert wurden. Leider gab es nur eine Sorte Käse und die war stark am schimmeln, nachgelegt wurde leider nichts.
• Mlungisi (10/5): - The room was clean and well prepared. Though it is a little bit small room N/A
• Raphael (10/5): -
• Mario (10/5): The staff is excellent and the place and the swimming pool is all you need. Perfect. - It was clean and beautiful. Nothing
• Charles (10/5): -
• Maureen (9/5): - The place was very cool and i enjoyed the guys who were serving breakfast they were very friendly. The bathroom was in style We're so grateful for our stay in and keep it up.
• Timm (9/5): All good - nice breakfast outside with Kudu and Warthogs. Even a girraff walked by one day room small but high ceiling; dirt road to get in, but signage ok
• Sanne (8/5): -
