Top South Africa Hotel Reviews

Road Lodge Cape Town International Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Short and safe walk to terminal during the day. Clean and quiet property. Breakfast is adequate and restaurant also serves dinner."

MILIMA Big 5 Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Our safari trip to Africa was truly the trip of a lifetime. The safari drivers were absolutely amazing and made every day such a great experience. It was a smaller resort, which I loved because everything felt so personal and welcoming. It never felt crowded or overly commercial. The food was another highlight. The dinners were incredible, and we looked forward to them every evening. Between the amazing safari experiences, the wonderful staff, the beautiful setting, and the incredible food, this is a trip we will never forget. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a special and more personal safari experience."

Kruger Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at the Kruger Gate Hotel. The room was very nice and very comfortable with a lot of storage. The breakfast was good and the dinner buffet outdoors was excellent with many different local dishes, and amazing ambience with the fire pits and the local singers as well as the hotel staff singing ‘happy birthday’ to guests. The game drives arranged though the hotel were amazing and we saw all the Big 5 and many of the other animals and birds as well. The spa was wonderful as well. The infinity pool and viewing deck are truly amazing. As the hotel borders the Kruger National Park, we were regularly visited by elephants, nyala, water buck, and some hippos as well as a croc could be seen. The truly amazing allure to this property, however, is the staff. I cannot say enough good things about everyone. Everyone made us feel welcome and well taken care of. Special requests were honored with diligence. I would definitely book this property again."

City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport

8/10 Good

"Sayed at City Lodge Hotel OR Tambo Int Airport for 3 days. Booked as part of tour and cancelled flight. Location is great to airport walk through tunnel to airport restaurants and shops. Breakfast varied choice and plentiful. There are water stations on the floors, bed comfortable shower hot water, amenities include kettle, shampoo, hand soap, plenty of towels, hairdryer, refrigerator Air con was a bit touchy and really needed to be replaced. I could hear the planes but honestly not a problem Departures displayed in foyer I would stay again if I travelled to Johannesburg in the future"

Kruger Shalati - Train on the Bridge and Garden Suites

10/10 Excellent

"An incredible experience from beginning to end. After the post-booking questionnaire on my favourite tipple, my expectations were high for the upcoming trip to Shalati. Those expectations were exceeded in the superior level of service, quality of food/drink, the room and the overall Shalati experience. The included game drives were great, knowing in advance that luck plays a significant part in what you see or don't see. My thanks and appreciation to Angel, Mzwandile and Tenashe for making the stay so memorable."

Radisson Blu Hotel, Durban Umhlanga

10/10 Excellent

"Check in staff amazing.. breakfast delicious a good range .. check out excellent. My only complaint is that we were 3 in the room ..a request for extra complimentary water was not given . Also we had been allocated a room near the lift . The noise level if rooms around the lift needs to sleep in … Maybe a sign at the lift stating… silence consider other Guest"
