“Will keep coming back!!”
+The location is fantastic, just a short drive to the Addo National Park. I love that there are Springboks living on the property too! The highlight was actually Addo Wildlife hotel’s own safari drive, the absolute best!

“Pleasant but could be much better.”
+Well located for a trip to Addo Elephant Park and surrounds, and the animal rehab centre is a nice touch for the children.
−The customer experience could be so much better with some attention to detail and hands-on management. The accommodation is good but not four-star in my view, and the space in the lodge is under-utilised (resembling instead the lobby of an exhibition hall). None of which would have troubled me had the service in the restaurant not been so shockingly poor. I was one of several guests who had to send food back to the kitchen as it was served cold, and that was after a 45 minute wait. We were seated at 07:40 the following morning for breakfast, and it eventually arrived at 08:30 and - again - cold. That evening we returned for dinner, and I had to ask a waitress to turn down the volume on her video call which had shattered the silence of a dining room which doesn't appear to have a sound system. Happily, our breakfast arrived in good time the following morning, but the table alongside had no such luck, needing to head off on their scheduled game drive on an empty stomach. I'm sure, like us, they would have raised their concerns with management had anyone bothered to ask if we were enjoying our stays. Overall, what could have been a very good experience was spoiled by poor management a

“Great place,friendly staff. Disappointing stay”
+Location was good, facilities okay.
−No hot water, fan stuck on the ‘on’ position, toilet was used before we entered. We had a complimentary upgrade which I appreciated but with not hot water and a broken fan that stayed on it was a poor evening

+Really nice houses with nice views and springboks roaming around. Also we liked the small animal park they have on the premises.
−The breakfast was not great and the dinner took a long time to get ready.

“Great facilities with friendly staff. A great location to stay in Addo.”
+Staff and facilities were excellent. Restaurant offers a variety of choices.
−The booking was made for 4 adults but was only registered for 2. We were then given a family unit, which was great, except that it wasn't quite ready. Dishes were still in dishwasher and some remotes didn't work and there were insufficient towels.

“Perfekt wenn man nicht im Addo Übernachten will”
+Es war grandios, Die Betten waren sehr bequem, ebenso die Kissen. Über den Bett hängt ein Ventilator, Die Klimaanlage nicht im Kopfbereich. Mit Auto konnte man direkt an die Unterkunft fahren.
−Alles top.

“Top für Safari und den Nationalpark”
+Die Safari im privaten Reservat ist absolut empfehlenswert (Sonnenuntergang-Game Drive). Das Resort hat freilaufende Springbok herumlaufen. Das Personal war super freundlich und es gab sogar eine Sing/Tanz Vorstellung, war super schön war. Der Nationalpark ist auch super nah.
−Die Cottages sind bisschen weiter vom Hauptgebäude entfernt und haben ein bisschen modrig gerochen. Auch die Verschiebung des Abendessen und Frühstück war nicht gerade angenehm und schlecht kommuniziert.

“Gute Lage zum Park”
+Die Lage zum Park ist perfekt. Die Häuser stehen in gutem Abstand zueinander. Jeder hat seine Privatsphäre. Sauber, gute Betten. Hilfsbereite und freundliche Mitarbeiter

“Een disaster. Schade aan je gezondheid.”
+Keukenpersoneel, de Chef, de tuin en planten.
−Onacceptabele stank in huisje nummer 5 met rieten dak. De stank van impregneerschemicaliën bemoeilijkt de ademhaling. Wij hebben de hele nacht gehoest. Wij hebben geprobeerd het huis te luchten en airco aangezet maar het hielp niet. Zelfs onze kleding stinkt omdat onze koffers open waren. Wij hebben bij de receptie aangegeven dat de vloer bezaaid was met oude geplakte insecten. De vrouw zei: " it is nature". De nachtkampen deden het niet. Het is belangrijk om aan te geven dat het kraanwater zeer smerig was. Het rook vies en het was troebel. Het stillstaand water heeft duidelijk te lang in het opslagtank gezeten. Het is mogelijk dat het besmet is met salmonella ( veteranenziekte). Wij kregen te horen dat het water uit de kraan niet drinkbaar is maar na het douchen rookte onze huid vies. Kluis zit los in de kast en werkt niet. Slot van deur werkt niet goed. Denderende vrachtwagens direct achter de accommodatie. Geen prettig verblijf bij Addo Wildlife!
