Kruger View Chalets

"I was not prepared to walk into such a well prepared, clean and organized room, especially for the price. It's clear that Kruger View Chalets understands the concept of hospitality and take pride in it. Well done. "

Mercure Nelspruit Hotel

"Reception staff were inattentive and focused solely on answering phones. The rooms were dark, outdated, and in poor condition: a broken bedside lamp, gray bathroom towels, only one bedside table, repulsive carpeting, a malfunctioning lock requiring repair, etc. etc. A terrible stay after 8 days in the bush. Certainly not up to the standard of traditional Mercure hotels!"

Graskop Hotel

"Great location within walking distance of everything you need. I was traveling with my 2 year old son and felt very safe. We booked the double room and was spacious and clean. Staff were very friendly and offered to pack my son and I breakfast to go when we missed the breakfast buffet. Will book again if I am in Graskop."

Kruger Park Hostel

"We kept on extending our stay at the Kruger Park Hostel, as we loved the place, that had everything you need (+ some extras like Yogamats, E-/& Bikes, Tea/Coffeebar, Pooltable…). The atmosphere and the staff-culture was very welcoming, including, helpful and fun. And of course… so many beautiful animals around day and night!"

Sanbonani Hotel

"Don’t be fooled by the lovely photos on the website when you are looking at this place. Unfortunately I made the booking based on that. The one star is only because the grounds and gardens are well taken care of. We stayed in the self catering units (49 B) - River view. Of course many years ago you might have been able to see the River but not anymore. The reception staff is the rudest I have ever encountered! The pool was full of algae, bedding and towels definately not washed (disgusting brown marks on towels), lumpy terrible duvet, toaster that kept tripping the electricity, patio railings were painted with a very strong smelling tar - which prevented us sitting outside on patio, in very humid, hot conditions - air conditioning remotes not working, dripping air conditioner that dripped on my iPad laying on bedside table, and then worst of all - 12 hours from 24 - ABSOLUTELY NO ELECTRICITY!!! Not even Wi-Fi signal. As international travelers we absolutely rely on Wi-Fi. Candles are provided - but not even a candle holder. We booked and paid for a 7 night stay - but left after 3 nights (wanted to leave after the first night but was having difficulty in obtaining other suitable accommodation. So - to conclude: if you want a stressful, terrible holiday - this place is for you!"

Honeyguide Tented Safari Camp - Khoka Moya

"Overall, it was a great experience. The staff were mature and enthusiastic, and we had two private camp safaris daily, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, which were very well-organized. My only minor feedback is that the driver's knowledge of animal locations could be improved, as one entire afternoon safari was spent mostly observing birds. The hotel's three meals were very substantial. I would definitely choose this place again if I visit South Africa in the future."

Rio Vista Lodge

"I had an absolutely amazing time at Rio Vista Lodge. The rooms are spacious and spotless, with great decor and nice to sleep on foam matrasses, with variety of firmness for body types spine support, and crisp bed sheets. The breakfast buffet was delicious. with huge variety of options! The staff was attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we are comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble, apart from the HOT SUN/humidity of Mpumalanga. Other than that i can't fault the place and will definitely come back. How can i not mention the view from the Deck phasing Kruger National Park view, with a nice blooming huge blue swimming pool and mouth-watering Windhoek drought, served extremely cold to chill and quench your thirst."

Premier Hotel the Winkler

"Here's the translation: Bad experience. The hotel managers have no respect for their customers. At the time of booking, they did not inform us that they had areas under renovation. At 8 p.m., I was called twice to make the payment even though they could have waited until check-out. I think managers were afraid I would jump over the electric fence at night to escape payment. Room service was okay. Good location. Average room size. Good bed. Overated hotel. we won't come back"

Protea Hotel Nelspruit

"We had another amazing stay at this hotel, a true hidden gem in Nelspruit. The staff is outstanding, always friendly, engaging, and genuinely welcoming. Their warmth and professionalism create a home-away-from-home atmosphere. Check-in & Marriott Bonvoy Recognition Check-in was smooth and personal, with a warm chat while our details were processed. The staff remembered us from past stays, which was a lovely touch. As Bonvoy members, we received all benefits without asking, including an upgrade to a larger King room and a thoughtful welcome gift of biltong, dried fruits, and chips. The Property & Rooms The hotel has a unique charm, blending modern and African country chic. The courtyard, lounge, and pool area are beautifully maintained and add to the relaxing vibe. However, some areas are showing signs of age, and a refresh would be welcome. Our King room was comfortable, with a cozy atmosphere and plenty of natural light, but the floors were worn, and the shower pressure remained an issue. Despite this, the bed was fantastic, with high-quality pillows and bedding ensuring a great night’s sleep. Housekeeping & Dining Housekeeping was impeccable, with rooms cleaned to perfection. The Fig Tree Restaurant offered an excellent breakfast buffet, including fresh fruit, pastries, a live cooking station, and high-quality hot dishes. Dinner was equally impressive, featuring local specialties. The bar had a great ambiance, and we enjoyed fantastic mojitos by the pool. Final Thoughts This hotel is a perfect retreat in Nelspruit, with exceptional staff and a welcoming atmosphere. While a refresh is needed, the service and warmth more than make up for it. We highly recommend it and are excited to return! "

White House Lodge

"We stayed two nights and because of self-catering brought dinner (and charcoals) with us. We were able to use the property‘s grill and sit outside on the beautiful veranda. Susann made always dishes etc. available. Wide choice of beers and wines for self-service. Breakfast excellent."
