Poor quality and not value for money

The room and bathroom was not at all as advertised on the pictures for a standard twin room. It smelled, needs a lot of maintenance, broken door handle, broken ceiling board, stained cupboards. There were empty beer bottles and cans lying around in the passage and the gardens were unattended. We complained and they moved us to a family room which was better, but there were no towels or toilet paper. We requested this and it never arrived. We used our own towels and took toilet paper from the public bathroom.

Safari Lodge Hotel - review - overrated for price

The establishment's condition does not match its price & in my opinion, overrated. in the room, wash basin needs replacement (cracked and paint peeling off). The service at breakfast (actually lack of it) was atrocious. The food was not up to scratch (burnt bacon, food warmers not being attended to resulting in cold food, toaster either under-toasting or burning the toast). Attitude of the staff, well....

Pleasant stay

My stay was pleasant with a comfortable bed, clean room & exellent food from both breakfast & dinner. Staff very friendly & helpful attend to a quiry immediately. Have surely recommended you to my friends & family. The only problem was when people were coming back from wherever making noise & trying to.open our door thinking that its their room & that made us feel unsafe.

Dissapointing state of the property

I got a shock on how the property looked as compared to what i saw when i booked. Shower door not working properly. The bath tub in a bad bad state in another room, water dripping the whole time from the tap. The beds are not comfortable. Just totally dissapointed.
