Teleurstellend.

Geen hartelijk welkom, geen afscheid, eigenaren? Niet gezien/gesproken. Voelden ons niet zo welkom. Met wie iets afspreken?. Geen idee. Miscommunicatie bij afspreken prijs Gamedrive, zar 2. 700 in plaats van zar 1. 900. Toezegging eten en drinken tijdens de gamedrive, NIET! 5 uur lang zonder eten en drinken. Bediendes. Sanitair. Ligging: Ontbijt: minimaal en niet creatief. Diner: matig en duurde lang voordat het werd geserveerd. Prijs-kwaliteit niet in verhouding.

Disappointing.

No warm welcome, no farewell, owners? Not seen/spoken of. We didn't feel so welcome. Who to arrange something with?. No idea. Miscommunication when agreeing price Gamedrive, zar 2.700 instead of zar 1.900. Commitment to eat and drink during the gamedrive, NOT! 5 hours without eating or drinking. Servants. Plumbing. Location: Breakfast: minimal and not creative. Dinner: mediocre and took a long time before being served. Price-quality not in proportion.

Overpriced with poor customer service.

The place was very nice, however, we had several problems with the stay. First, we had accidentally booked the lodge on the wrong dates. The owner was very rude with us and was not willing to change our reservations to the correct dates despite the lodge being basically empty. Second, our reservation cost more simply because we paid in US dollars. Third, the place wouldn't provide us with supper, yet we were not allowed to use our grill.

Onvergeetlike ligging van baie unieke gastehuis.

Hierdie gastehuis is 'n juweel en as jy vir rustigheid soek, sal jy hier kan ontspan en afsluit. Die kamers en hele gastehuis is uiters smaakvol gemeubileer en die dek buitekant op die water is eenvoudig asemrowend. Mens kan die hele dag hier deurbring en net weer sielsrus kry. Die ontbyt was goed en alles was netjies en skoon. Ons kom beslis weer.

The breakfast was good and everything was neat and clean. We will definitely come again.

Pragtig rustige verblyf.

Dekor was baie smaakvol. Staf vriendelik. Yskas is vol met drank, water en snacks maar jy moet vir water betaal. Aandete was heerlik. Ontbyt was toe nie ingesluit by ons verblyf nie, so kan ongelukkig nie 'n resensie gee op ontbyt nie. Die lakeside kamer was baie privaat en pragtig, hulle het die décor so mooi gedoen in natuurlike kleur en hout dat dit by natuurskoon aanpas. Die lodge is baie mooi en ons was ver genoeg uit die buzz van die dorp maar naby genoeg aan die Phabeni-hek van die wildtuin.

Beautiful peaceful stay.

Decor was very tasteful. Staff friendly. Fridge is full of drinks, water and snacks but you have to pay for water. Dinner was delicious. Breakfast was not included in our stay, so unfortunately cannot give a review on breakfast. The lakeside room was very private and beautiful, they have done the decor so beautifully in natural color and wood that it adapts to natural beauty. The lodge is very nice and we were far enough away from the buzz of the town but close enough to the Phabeni gate of the game park.

Opreg, onpretensieus en uitstekende waarde wat afgerond word met hulpvaardige en vriendelike dienspersoneel.

Kon nie vir 'n beter ervaring gevra het vir ons eerste huweliksherdenking nie. Uitstekende slaapgehalte, opregte, onpretensieuse en smaakvolle kos wat bedien word in 'n warm diensomgewing. Uitsig oor die water is sprokiesagtig met nagtegale sang van die inheemse voëlspesies. Die Margaritas op die dek was hemels en van die bestes wat ons in 'n lang tyd geniet het. Baie dankie aan Bambuu se bestuur sowel as Brian en Godfrey vir al die vriendelike en gereedwillige hulp tydens ons verblyf. Ons sal definitief weer kom kuier.

We couldn't ask for better with our first anniversary. Excellent night's rest, sincere, unpretentious and tasty food which is served in an atmosphere of customer care. The view of the water is like a fairy tale with nightingales and indigenous bird species. The Margaritas on the deck were heavenly and the best that we've seen in a while. Thanks to Bambuu for his management as well as Godfrey and Brian for your friendly assistance during our stay. We will definitely stay here again.

Nice place.

We stayed there for the weekend, lovely place with the most amazing views of the lake and the forest. The place is clean and the people are friendly. Their breakfast is good, they don't serve lunch and their dinner is not their forte. They can definitely improve on their dinner as I had to send back my starter because it was too salty which they also confirmed. The main meal and dessert could have also been better. But overall, lovely place for a very quiet weekend away.

Elke persoon by Bambuu Lakeside Lodge het verseker dat ons op die hande gedra word. Ons het die hele naweek in luuksheid by die lodge spandeer en was nie een maal verveeld nie. Die lodge is uiters skoon en netjies en die uitsigte is asemrowend! Dit het meer gevoel asof ons op 'n eiland-lodge was. Ons sal beslis weer wil teruggaan!
