Very enjoyable.

This is a very nice place for weekends/holidays getaways. The place is quiet and no one did come and made us uncomfortable throughout our visit, anybody who might wish to have a short break, try Kaya Inkalamo, the place is full of potential, not forgetting wildlife, try it, you'll never be disappointed. Thank you Kaya Inkalamo.

Baie mooi omgewing.

Baie lekker gebly - die rondawel was baie geriefliker as enkelbed-hut waarin ek oorspronklik moes bly. Baie dankie aan personeel wat my teen geen ekstra koste geskuif het.

Very nice environment.

Very nice stay - the rondavel was much more comfortable than the single bed cabin I originally had to stay in. Many thanks to staff who moved me at no extra cost.

Kan nie glo julle gee soveel sterre nie. Sal dit glad nie aanbeveel nie.

Geen netheid, niks werk soos geadverteer nie. Nooit wasgoed gedoen, kamer skoongemaak, selfs net enige skoonmakers gesien nie.

Can't believe you give so many stars. Would not recommend it at all.

No cleanliness, nothing works as advertised. Never did laundry, cleaned room, even saw any cleaners.

No Wi-Fi, no telephone, no couch to sit on, no cleaning stuff, no tea, coffee, sugar or milk. Room not properly clean, no safety everything - just no.

I was not happy at all, paid a lot of money to waste, you advertise things that are not there or even exist,.

Not so nice. We were not told about the chalet but only travel group only showed us the windy house. It made us angry and they also were not understanding. However we got helped and slept in the chalet. Electricity was tripping and we struggled to cook our pap. Swimming pools were dirty.

Friendly for day visits. Good for campers.

Kaya Inkalamo Game Lodge 's response

Good day Katlego,

Thank you for your review.

Unfortunately, it wasn't our fault you booked the Log Cabins, but we did say that we would rather give a chalet and not charge you anything extra since you weren't aware that the Log Cabin you booked only consisted of single beds. So I am not sure whether you are referring to the lodge not being understanding. We booked the accommodation according to what you book on the travel site. We do apologise for the electricity tripping and the pool that was dirty but when you informed me, I immediately sent people to address the problem.

Please accept my deepest apology for the inconvenience.
Kind Regards,
Nadine

Very nice and peaceful place to stay.

This is a well maintained lodge and is still having additions added which shows owners are proud of their lodge. The only issue I have is that you have to hoot to open the gate into the accommodation area. So if there is nobody at reception you cant get in and this stops you from coming and going as you please after 9pm or leaving very early which can be a problem. Guests should get a remote or similar.

The chalet was situated in an ideal place the inside can do with an upgrade.

The photos are misleading, the place was far to expensive for what you get. The spa bath did not function. Inside was old and worn.

Pateties, nie woorde nie.

Lees asb. resensies voor jy bespreek. Die plek het baie potensiaal, maar is baie verwaarloos. Daar is niks, vat als saam wanneer jy die plek besoek. Die kombuis is glad nie toegerus nie, ek sal ook aanbeveel om jou eie beddegoed saam te vat. Op 'n beter noot, die ablusieblokke is mooi skoon en netjies. Foto's is baie misleidend.

Pathetic, no words.

Please read reviews before you book. The place has a lot of potential, but it's quite dilapidated. There is nothing, so take everything you need when you go. The kitchen isn't equipped at all, I would also recommend you take your own bedding. At least the ablutions are very clean and neat. The photos are very misleading.

Die dam is die grootste pluspunt!

Ek het 'n paar voorstelle gemaak - met 'n paar veranderinge, netheidopknapping ens. kan dit 'n heerlike plek wees.

I made some suggestions - with some changes, cleanliness overhaul etc. can it be a lovely place.

'n Groot teleurstelling.

Dit is nou wat ek noem "false advertising". Daar is geen wild nie. Geen wildritte nie. Niks werk nie en ons moes elke dag uitry en gaan soek vir iets om te doen.

A big disappointment.

Now this is what I call "false advertising". There is no game. No game drives. Nothing worked and we had to drive out every day and look for something to do.

Die kombuis het nie als op die lys bevat nie en het dit moeilik gemaak om kos te maak.

Ek kry die indruk dat die plek besig is om agter uit te gaan.

The kitchen did not have everything on the list and made cooking difficult.

I get the impression that the place is going backwards.

The log cabin was dirty, grounds unkept, monkey cages smelly.

The access gate was unlocked with no security and no lodge staff other than groundsman and cleaners. We were, however, upgraded to a rondavel for an extra fee of R300. The caged jackals and wolves were not a welcoming site, neither were all the empty cages.

Baie teleurstellend!

Die verblyf, vir wat dit bied, is hopeloos te duur (R300 per persoon). Die chalet (slaapplek vir 4) was vuil en die kombuisgeriewe vir selfsorg was nie voldoende nie en in 'n baie swak toestand. Die Jacuzzi soos genoem was nie in werkende toestand nie en toe ons ondersoek instel blyk dit dat dit al lankal nie meer werk nie. Ons kon nie die boma gebruik nie - dit lyk soos 'n stoorplek. Geen melding word gemaak van dagbesoekers wat die geriewe deel nie, dit benadeel jou omdat jy dan nie die geriewe kan gebruik nie. Erge geraas-besoedeling. Ek beskou die beskrywing en foto's soos op die webtuiste as misleidend en bedrieglik.

Very disappointing!

The accommodation, for what it offers, is hopelessly overpriced (R300 per person). The chalet (sleeps 4) was dirty and the kitchen facilities for self-catering were not sufficient and in a very poor condition. The Jacuzzi as mentioned was not in working condition and when we investigated it appeared that it had not been working for a long time. We couldn't use the boma - it looks like a storage place. No mention is made of day visitors sharing the facilities, this puts you at a disadvantage because you cannot use the facilities. Severe noise pollution. I consider the description and photos on the website to be misleading and deceptive.
