“It was a good experience”
+Nice big room with a huge bathroom. Roar of lions during the night made a good rememberable experience.
−On arrival someone else was booked to our room. Not enough towels. Maintenance is lacking with e.g. light bulbs blown.

“Great staff and food but resort needs urgent update. Not 5 star anymore!”
+The staff were fantastic trying their best with service and food.
−The resort used to be “5 star” but it is now barely “2 Star” The property have great potential but it shows serious signs lack of investment for modernisation and upkeep from owners

“Poor”
+Staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.
−I'm very disappointed 😞 with Booking.com for false advertisement. You advertise this establishment as a 5star lodge when it is actually a 3star lodge. Please do your work properly. The place has no TV, No wifi in the room, no security personnel, you must open gates yourself, there's no buffet brake fast and dinner, you get served in a plate with one choice to eat from, nothing else, there's no chef's, the mother and son are doing the cooking, it was my husband birthday and we were very disappointed. The picture on Booking.com are a lie of what that place use to be.
