Cleanliness6.5

Multiple reports of sewer/odour returning into rooms, old/poor linen and towels, and generally dark/smelly rooms — cleanliness is below expectation but not uniformly terrible.

Service9.0

Staff repeatedly described as friendly, courteous and helpful; service is one of the strongest and most consistent positives in the reviews.

Location9.5

Outstanding riverside location with excellent wildlife/viewing (crocodiles, hippos, elephants) and immediate proximity to Malelane gate — frequently cited as the hotel's main asset.

Room Quality6.8

Rooms described as outdated, small and deteriorating (bathrooms dated, broken geyser, uncomfortable beds, occasional missing requested double bed) — generally below modern expectations.

Amenities6.8

Problems noted with Wi‑Fi, in‑room phone, DStv and other facilities; amenities described as dated and in need of refurbishment, though some public areas (terrace/restaurant) remain appealing.

Value for Money6.5

Several guests called the property overpriced given its condition and inconsistent food/facilities; perceived value is below the advertised star-level.

Food and Beverage8.8

Mixed reports: buffet dinners received criticism for quality and variety, but à la carte meals and some breakfasts were praised as good to excellent — overall food leans positive but inconsistent.

Not recommended

Liked:Restaurant area and view was good
Disliked:I have no idea why a lodge serving international guests would possibly only have an option of two single beds in the room. Apart from that this must have been the most uncomfortable beds that I have ever experienced! The air conditioner was not working, when this was reported to the front office staff they were disinterested.
