Reviews for Raptors Lodge
Review 1：Other than the leak in the kitchen, which as said below didn't impact our stay, there was nothing that we ddn't like.
Review 2：Location, decor, layout and privacy of the unit. Kim was excellent with assisting us with the one slight mishap that we encountered, which fortunately didn't impact our stay at all.
Review 3：This was a pity, and hope it would be looked into: It was really disconcerting to arrive in the dark and find that the lights would not work! I had no idea where the electricity board was and being in the remotest cottage it was really dark. I finally discovered the lights had been switched off at the board - in the pantry.... Maybe solar-powered outside lights, just so you can see to unlock the door, and a number to call or instructions as to where things are? Also: The office and key routine was difficult to follow.. I went to the wrong office and I then couldn't get anyone to take my credit card for payment once I figured out where to go. Otherwise the service was very pleasant and helpful when I found the right people.
Review 4：The cottage is stunning, so is the setting. I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable bed and quietness. Well-maintained and clean. I'd love to come back with family.
Review 5：The gate access number we received with our conformation did not open the gate, but luckily Lea, the manager answered her cellphone to give our driver the number to get in. The house is quite large with many locking doors. Many of the lights did not work, some broken and some just burned out. It would have been nice to know that there was coffee and tea for morning so we wouldn't have had to stop and buy it ourselves for just one morning. Several of the locking doors were in disrepair, likely from frustrated guests trying to open them. Lea assured us that she would work on these problems and I'm sure she will. Then it will be much better.
Review 6：Lea the owner was lovely, but not on the property much. She arrived with light bulbs before we crashed from exhaustion. She kindly gave us a ride to the endangered species center in the morning and made contact with our driver to get our bags delivered to him there.
Review 7：Expecting a washing machine as said in the itinerary but not one in the property we were given plus couple of lights not working
Review 8：Good stay in comfortable accommodation. Close to Kruger and other attractions. Hoedspruit is a lovely upcoming town with good restaurants
Review 9：A great place to stay in Hoedspruit. Lots of space and had everything you need. Lovely birds in the backyard and some dwarf mongoose came to visit which was nice. Good privacy too.
Review 10：The 2nd bedroom we were using for kids was not joined to the kitchen/lounge/main bedroom and you had to access it going outdoors. Only a problem for people with young children. Quite dark inside and could do with a overall freshen up. Otherwise clean and comfortable
Review 11：Close to town. Large bedrooms.
Review 12：Nothing
