It was a very nice experience.
On arrival we were greeted very hospitably, however we got there before the suggested time and the room was immediately available, which we really appreciated as the roads were incredibly busy and we were quite exhausted. Rooms are very neat and the fact that there was "air con" in the room made it easier as it was very hot. We would suggest that they might have a microwave in the room, as we had a barbecue and there were no facilities to heat it up afterwards. No cutlery either, especially considering it's a self-catering unit and braai facilities are made available, but otherwise we really enjoyed the weekend, beautiful place and very well looked after.

Was welcomed and referred to our room. We enjoyed the tranquility and listened late into the outside part of the restaurant to the sounds of nature. The lions that roar regularly were awesome.

It is a very beautiful and lovely place, but very neglected.
It is a great place with a lot of potential, but the accommodation needs renovation and attention. To give an idea of what was wrong with our sleeping quarters: It was very dirty ─ hadn't been cleaned for a long time, fake eyelashes, hair clips and clothes tags were lying around. Half the lights didn't work. The TV did not have a remote and if you try to adjust the sound, the TV turns itself off. Half of the sliding doors had no locks. The fridge could not be set because the knob on the inside was broken. The interior light of the fridge also did not work. The sinks in the bathroom did not have cold water. It's not a big thing to fix, but it will make a difference.

Accommodation was adequate for what we paid.
Braai facilities at the units will be an asset. Television had no control. Grounds and buildings need attention. The rooms were very neat and clean. Food in the restaurant was really prepared to taste and the prices were also very reasonable. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. We will knock there again.

Nice for a sleepover, but not very peaceful.
The rooms were clean and tidy and were cleaned every day as well. It contains a kettle and teacups. It's nice if you need somewhere to sleep over, but I wouldn't suggest it as a break itself as some of the rooms are very close to reception and therefore very noisy from early on. Because of the educational opportunities, there are also many schools during the day, which is great, except if you want to be quiet. The people who drive the school buses also play very loud music. The grounds are beautiful, except for visiting groups who leave their rubbish everywhere. The people who work there are very friendly and helpful. Only once did we not get service at the restaurant and then just drove, but the rest was excellent. Food is tasty and value for money. Small fridges in the rooms would be a great asset.

Thankful we didn't book for more nights.
Definitely not for the elderly, way too many stairs. Although the decor and surroundings were nice, the 5 small cookers by the boiler, the large one on the wall, the TV that didn't work and the bar that had no ciders or wine soured the visit.

Not treated as guests.
The bedding in the room was slightly dirty. There were no extra blankets. One day fresh towels were not brought to the room and the old ones were taken and therefore we could not shower properly. The power was down for a while during the day when we wanted to get ready for dinner with friends and could e.g. not blow hair or charge our phones. The lions make it very disturbing to sleep in the evening and the turkeys and partridges start to keep you awake in the early morning. There were also some of the staff who started sawing and welding things early in the morning which made it very unpleasant to have a good rest (the reason for the stay was to rest). It is incredibly beautiful there, but Letaba makes it difficult to fully enjoy it.

Very bad!!
Dirty, dark, old and broken. Black bedding - no duvets. They certainly can't wash the "throws" over the bed every time. Toilet broken. Bath faucet fell off. Bathroom with 5 very steep stairs to the top - danger at night! No bath mats. Dump black slate stone that is dirty. The roof so low from the shower that the steam condenses on the roof and cold drops drip on you while you take a hot shower. Bar area and porch dirty, full of dust and leaves. No WIFI and signal - can't work from there. Cockroaches under the boiler. Water not suitable for human consumption - they only give 1 liter of bottled water to use. Old glass doors make so much noise at night as people enter and exit their rooms. The curtains dirty and torn. Everyone walks past the room and looks into the room - no privacy. We were in room 31. We immediately moved to Sanloo Manor!!

Our stay at Letaba River Lodge was unforgettable and I will do it again, and again and again.
From our arrival we were received with friendliness by the staff and can also add that the smell of the food in the restaurant made my mouth water! The room was very neat though simple, with everything you could need for a short getaway. We had a comfortable night's sleep and the bathroom is really something to write home about! The evenings couldn't end without a lovely bubble bath in the corner bath! Friday evening we braai'd next to the swimming pool with the roars of lions as background music. The Saturday was unforgettable when we could interact with the animals, go on a game drive and also did the "Leeu Loop". Can also mention that during these activities the staff were so friendly and kind not only to us, but also to the animals. The animals are treated with so much love and respect and vice versa. It was truly wonderful to say how excited (if I can call it that) these wild animals get when their "handlers" talk to them and play with them. The guides are very well trained and tell you very interesting facts about all the animals. During the Lion Walk where we walked with big lions in the veld, the guides really went out of their way to make us feel as relaxed and comfortable as possible and at the end all of us were comfortable with these giant majestic animals and didn't want to say goodbye! The evening we had a good night's sleep and had an affordable meal at the restaurant. The food was tasty. The kids enjoyed the table tennis and snooker a lot. Both our children (9 and 17) always had something to do and enjoyed the weekend tremendously. Thanks to the management who went out of their way to make everything as convenient as possible and even arranged that my youngest son could play with the lion cubs because he was too short for the Lion Walk. It made his day when he could give milk to the cubs! Will I visit Letaba River Lodge again? Absolutely!

I can definitely recommend Letaba River Lodge. The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are very neat and clean and the site itself is very neat and clean. We really enjoyed the animals. The animals are well cared for and the guides who take you to interact with the animals are very friendly and well trained. There is only one word - fantasies. Will use them again anytime and their rates are fair. And not to mention the most amazingly delicious food! All compliments to the cook. The food is fantastic.

A lovely stay in a relaxing atmosphere with comfortable rooms.
The accommodation is good value for money. The reception was so-so and was a bit slow and not very helpful. The room was neat with nice decor and well equipped. Dinner was a big disappointment. The menu was not acceptable - sausage with cooked chicken pieces, tastelessly prepared and the serving was poor.

Quiet and very beautiful next to the river.
The lodge can be amazing but needs attention. The restaurant is not to be recommended. The menu is only 3 options and it takes more than hour to receive toasts. There were only 4 soft drinks to choose from. There was e.g. kettle and microwave in room without a way to use them, there was not a wall plug within 1 meter. For the price, the accommodation is to be recommended. I believe it is a sensible function and reception venue but there are several things that need attention in terms of the thatched roofs, tiles etc. One almost gets the impression that certain things are not maintained. The predator park is impressive if that is one's type of thing, but personally it was not fun to see the predators in such small enclosures. However, there are apparently cheaper lodges in the area that offer more.

Would not recommend the lodge at all.
The room's one wall was full of mold which made the room stuffy. The glass door and windows on the balcony were broken. The other guests were so noisy that we couldn't sleep. They sat outside the rooms drinking beer and dancing outside until what time of the night. The lodge had no wine at all and the menu is very basic. We did not have a good experience.
