Provider-sourced guest reviews.
They had a lot of activities to choose from
The manager needs to improve his behaviour towards the guest
The lodge is perfect
Nothing, I even saw a worthog walking towards my car in the morning I ran away but staff told me it's harmless. The place is perfect
If you can add kitchen in the bottom rooms also
Downstairs kitchen
Very friendly staff and overall cleanliness of the facility.
All good. 7
Environment was good and one mkhulu was friendly I don't know whether was the owner of the place.
We were not allowed to make noise More iron needed like kettle each room has.
Die Lage war gut, Parkplatz vor ort
Schlechtes internet
nothing, I was underwhelmed
1. price excludes breakfast 2. passages smell of food from all the rooms because of the "self-catering" in an establishment not made with "self-catering" specs 3. would have expected a bar fridge if the establishment is self-catering 4. 1x iron and ironing board for the whole establishment was challenging 5. less hot water at peak times
Nothing
Room
I like that I was able to walk around the restaurant didn’t need to drive. I like seeing Hippos. Young gentle man was in front desk was very good helpful and well mannered
Uncomfortable bed was uncomfortable. AC was not working. Stuff is loud at 6:30 am; they are loud talking. I couldn’t sleep in at all. Internet was not working so I couldn’t respond as much as I wanted to do.
Location
The beds not comfortable
The service was good,rooms were neat and comfortable
Not exactly that I ddnt like but for our car safety there must be a gate
There was no breakfast
Room upstairs for a better view
Het voldeed aan de verwachtingen.
Wifi, personeel was vriendelijk maar niet behulpzaam.
A lot of the appliances did not work well. There was only one fork. No spatula. No scissor. Bedding had bad stains on.
The hosts were amazing.
Only that we had to be redirected to another hotel.
It was big enough for 2 ppl. Central location
The TV was too small
Cleanliness and friendly staff
Nothing
The cleanliness and location
We did not get an early check in
The place is located in a best place and the place is good
No wifi Bathroom Shower was bad Bed was not good at all They didn't Change my bed even after I asked them..still nothing At this point i feel like I wasted my money Because of people fail to do simple thing's asked by customer.
Close to town
Bed very hard and uncomfortable Linen and pillows smelt a bit stale
Rooms were extremely small. Noise was unbearable at night. It was like shibin.
The location was great, close to the centre and beach.
I booked 2 single beds but we found a double bed.
Close to everything. AC was a plus and pool was clean. Room was spotless except kitchen utensils
Had to wash all kitchen utensils and pots on arrival because it was properly cleaned. Enforcement of the noise curfew was not strictly applied. Could add additional braais
It was within walking distance to the main st with all the activities and restaurants
Other guests were extremely loud ( noise factor during the day was constant and above an acceptable level that could be tolerated) . They were drunk most of the time , they took over the pool and braai area so we couldn’t access it at all , the kids ran around screaming and naked, they partied until 3 . When approached by management which was at another hotel they quietened down whilst management was there and then continued. One vehicle had a reverse beeper which was incredibly loud. To block out the noise at night I had the air conditioner on full and had the sheet over my head which still didn’t help. We booked for 5 nights and left after 4. During the day we had to make a plan to stay away from the accommodation as it was not restful at all. Management should have kicked them out after the first transgression. It RUINED my entire Easter weekend
Unfortunately many things that didn't meet expectations. from cleanliness to blocked drains, lights not working, communal areas filthy. It was very disappointing especially for our guests. I honestly think that a representative from Booking.com should visit the lodge as the pictures on the site do NOT match with the lodge itself. very disappointing as the pictures are NOT what you see from reception, to pool, facilities, bar etc. Very disappointing. I have discussed this with management. Pos
I have my own breakfast
I didn't like the way I have been treated,😒
Comfortable rooms and beds
Wifi very poor
It was central to the main street.
There's no braai area in front of each unit on the ground floor. Its make it difficult to carry your items up and down and also rather awkward to braai in front of your neighbors door.
I didn’t like the fact that when I got to the property I had to go to a different location/place just to check in and then come back to the initial place. If I was told prior to the check in that I have to start at a different location it would have been better.
The clerk at elephant lodge is very rude and she was not helpful, I'm no longer going to book in that lodge.
The clerk is not helpful, very rude and not cooperative!
Change of my booking to other hotel
Nothing
You moved me to Elaphant Lake Hotel, you didn't tell me in time😔I booked self catering but there, i found out is a hotel there is no self catering😔yoh disappointed
We really enjoyed St Lucia as a destination. It’s a beautiful place to visit, with amazing game reserves, stunning beaches, and great local attractions. Seeing hippos walking through the town was a truly unique experience and something we will always remember. The overall experience of exploring the area was fantastic.
Unfortunately, our experience was disappointing. We booked during the December peak season at a relatively high cost, expecting a comfortable stay based on the online rating. However, the reception experience was unfriendly, the property felt very outdated, and the rooms were extremely hot as only one bedroom had air-conditioning while the rest of the unit relied on ineffective fans. Given the price we paid, we expected a far better standard of comfort and upkeep.
Location
Everything about the place
Leaving soon
It was ok
Parking
Not much. We moved after one night.
Noisy staff and workers early in the morning. Inflexible staff.
Room was very good and good service overall
Not very self-catering friendly and communal kitchen needs upgrades. Needs better fridge freezer and food preparation area. Wifi hotspot disconnected a lot.
Location only.
Location great but the place is not. The room was disappointing. Furniture and Beds were old, bedding old as well. They only make the bed and not clean the room. Slept two night with a dead fly and we picked it up ourselves and flushed it. The passage smelled stuffy all the time. There was too much noise. There are rats living in the roof, we could hear them mostly at night.
Swimming pool , braai area
Nothing
The property is close to the beach and restaurants. That is awesome for me.
No breakfast, bar at place.
The location is perfect.
There was no power when we arrived.
The staff is very welcoming
I think it's not a place to visit for fun as a group of friends as there will be a noise obviously. The place it's to close to the neighbors, we had neighbors coming to warn or threaten us about the noise. We felt a bit of racism hidden in the rules of the area which I understand because the way I see it the area belongs to the certain group of race.
Everything was perfect
The facility was amazing and well located. Once at the facility you can literally walk every were without breaking a sweat.

Very clean everything u need value for money
Bed was a bit hard

I liked the place easy to find, staff was always helpful, my room on the ground floor in front of the pool, has sufficient braai areas, nice parking area, it's good place to stay.
I liked the place easy to find, staff was always helpful, my room on the ground floor in front of the pool, has sufficient braai areas, nice parking area, it's good place to stay, I almost like everything.
Nice rooms with aircon. Comfy beds. Small area with kitchen well equipped for cooking basics meals. Friendly staff.
Weak wifi in the rooms. Only reception got full connection.
The ro was clean, thank you for that
I was not happy about the size of beds, and I was not comfortable . Too short
The location of the place is convenient, next to all amenities. It is also a comfortable place to stay and their rates are reasonable.
I didn't like their tv it's very small and placed a little bit far from the bed. Their wifi is as good as non existent. It's signal is not picked from the room and we had to make use of our mobile wifi router.
Good location, nice pool, everything you need in the room.
Bad WiFi in the room but everything else is good!
The pool
Upper rooms have no refrigerator.
Everyone was soooo professional. I'm not a mean person, but I am there to bond with my friends, not to have guesthouse owners talk to us 24/7. The staff really respected our privacy and need for an intimate friend setting. Professional, quiet, neat. I will definitely return.
It would be nice if the upstairs units also have a mini fridge, but I'll survive. Everything else was perfect.
Well located in the town. Rooms had all required amenities.
Some rooms did not have functioning air conditioning.
Staff where great, rooms clean, staff knowledgeable of the area & aircon worked well.
Communal kitchen area needs new items, eg:knives, grater, stove. Fridges need shelves and defrosting in the freezer. Wifi could be better/ consistent.
Staff were brilliant
Noisy, limited parking, clean towels not provided daily, communal kitchen had limited pots, pans etc. no fridge in the room
We had a good stay room was clean when we got there.and room was a fair size
It was quiet noisy, toilet paper ,was not given daliy Therefore we had to use our own which we brought from home Team and coffee was given the first day thereafter not again.
The location of the lodge is perfect…one can walk to restaurants,beach etc…
Be prepared to be woken up quite early daily due to banging doors every morning….not sure if this was staff members or other patrons….very very loud mornings. There is no food served on the premises….not sure why not…as there is a kitchen there . The day we arrived…there were fish bones scattered all over the grass area around the braai…which did not smell good,and attracted a large amount of ants on the stoep….although the manager on duty came quickly to clean up once alerted….
Not having cricket on the 31st, not having bar fridge , close wardrobe,
I loved the swimming pool, I loved the rooms and the aircon, I absolutely love the location and the staff is awesome, Sam was so kind
