Top South Africa Hotel Reviews

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."

MILIMA Big 5 Safari Lodge

8/10 Good

"We stayed in one of the two‑bedroom villas. The lodging and amenities were good but not exceptional. The property certainly delivers an authentic African atmosphere, but given its 4‑star rating we expected a more luxurious experience. The food presentation and service were excellent, though the variety was limited and many dishes were unfamiliar to us, which made it harder to enjoy fully.Some amenities were missing or below expectations — no phone to reception, no TV in the room, weak Wi‑Fi, and occasional bugs indoors (perhaps understandable in the wild). On the positive side, the staff were warm and very helpful, and our safari guide, Prem, was outstanding. We especially appreciated the heated blankets after evening game drives. The wildlife viewing was memorable, though animal density is lower than in some reserves, so visitors should not expect large herds.We didn’t rent a car from the airport, but on a future visit I would — it offers more flexibility for exploring the Panorama Route or Kruger National Park, as the roads are paved, well marked, and renting saves on transfer fees. Overall, we had a good time, with highlights in the hospitality and safari experience."

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"
