Reviews for Sanbonani Hotel

Review 1:I would like to see more flexibility at the restaurant. In more than one occasion, there was no waiter in sight.

Review 2:Beautiful garden and poolside. The resort is full of life and fun things to do. The room was comfortable and peaceful and the workers are very friendly.

Review 3:The standard of the hotel room is poor. However the chalets are quite nice. The hotel rooms need to be mordenised and change tv and clean carpets.

Review 4:The resort is beautiful

Review 5:The towels are very old and bring the rate of the hotel down. The night we spent there was no electricity, our room was the only one that the emergency lights did not work. When I phoned reception for a candle, they told me that I had to go to the reception to collect the candle. I think it was ridiculous. I also think the hotel justifies having a generator. The rooms also need fridges. The staff are not keen to bring stuff to the rooms. Both room service was told to collect at the restaurant and also the candle

Review 6:The location is excelent. The gardens and pools are nice.

Review 7:Has a very big pool that is divided into three. Alteast one should be heated. There should be a braa8 area for hotel residents The bath curtain should be replaced with a glass panel so that the water doesnt leak through and would make it look very upmarket

Review 8:Location, price, convenient.

Review 9:The staff were rude. Broken chairs everywhere. Room smelled. Nothing was explained. Menu is very bad. Had other people screaming in reception because they too had a terrible experience. I would never recommend anybody to ever spend a min of your life that you won't get back there.

Review 10:nothing

Review 11:If you had a bad experience, explain it here. key card not working a couple of times and broken water. jug

Review 12:Tell us what you liked best about your stay. pool faculties

Review 13:There are no fridges in the standard rooms. Put a channel of national geographic with animals.

Review 14:The physical ambience is impressive and gardens are well maintained.

Review 15:Restaurant was deserted and we did not eat there. More can be done to market the restaurant.We could not get a capuchino as they did not have a machine.more can be done with offering light meals and drinks at the pool.

Review 16:Sleeper couch was damaged. Tv didnt work properly. Staff members weren't very helpful and cheerful.

Review 17:Swimming pools were amazing. River facing chalet. Space of chalet.

Review 18:The house keeping lady was impatient and not as friendly as other staff. I would have preferred that the restaurant made use of fresh squeezed juice or at least 100%

Review 19:The service from the staff was exceptional. The hotel was always so clean.

Review 20:Service at the restaurant was very slow and inefficient, no sense of urgency even when it is not busy.

Review 21:Very close to the Phabeni Kruger Park gate, great base for a trip to Kruger.

Review 22:Staff were friendly when we got there our room was upgraded from 2 single beds pushed together to a queen size bed. Food at the restaurant was very good.

Review 23:The receptionists were not friendly and not helpful at all. they must improve their services. No room spray...really?

Review 24:Absolutely nothing,,,if i had a choice i could have left and looked for a new place.

Review 25:Not nice traveling there from the south through all that dwellings and cattle on the road

Review 26:Very comfortable and clean rooms. Swimming pools and rest of facilities very nice for children. Good location for the kruger national park.

Review 27:Good accommodation with facilities such as a pool and tennis courts. Hippos often on site in the river and a restaurant with good value for money food. Nearby Hazyview shops, fuel station and wildlife sanctuary. Short drive to entrance gates of Kruger Park.

Review 28:The hotel could do with a renovation. There was obvious wear and tear on the room and the bed sagged a bit. Other than that it was great value for money and we enjoyed ourselves

Review 29:Excellent number of activities available including mini-golf, ping pong, tennis, and swimming.

Review 30:Bed a bit uncomfortable and in the bathrooms when using the shower it flooded the bathroom floor.

Review 31:Friendliness of staff, basic but comfortable comfort. Great value.

Review 32:While the hotel is generally very good, the restaurant lets the place down. The service and food there was poor. A decent restaurant would make this place hum.

Review 33:Excellent facility with adequate lodgings, good pool and mini golf course.

Review 34:202A Room Bed sags on side opposite bathroom, tend to wake up skew in the bed. Bar service not great and promoted cocktail could not be served because the "blender failed"

Review 35:Tranquillity and cleanliness

Review 36:The bar tender wasn't the nicest person I've met. But otherwise it was a nice place

Review 37:We liked that it was comfortable and the room was quite spacious. We were only there for two nights so we didn't get to explore the resort and use the facilities as much as we would have liked to. If you are only there for a couple of nights then book more affordable accommodation elsewhere.

Review 38:only wifi at the reception, during our stay multiple 'big' groups who were given better service during dinner,.. the days without the 'big' groups were fantastic.

Review 39:great pool, helpful, good food/drinks for a good price, big bedroom

Review 40:Felt the hotel needed tlc. Carpets warn, towels threadbare just general house keeping needed to be seen to.

Review 41:The staff were amazing at all times from security, reception dinningroom house keeping. Position of hotel and the pool grounds amazing.

Review 42:Swimming Pool was dirty Restaurant is poor quality Staff seem demotivated Hotel is dated, and it feels old

Review 43:Clean Hotel Rooms. Aircon Clean Linen Well situated in relation to Kruger Park

Review 44:The braai area and patio The braai are not covered and could not braai due to rain Patio very small Security guards having to stand in the rain without shelter

Review 45:Very bad administration. Made a big mess with our booking. Booked two chalets which were cancelled 4 weeks before our holiday was due. Overbooking by resort. After big argument got one chalet and one hotel room. On arival we had to carry our own luggage to our rooms. We paid for a buffet breakfast included at R95 per person only to find out that no buffet breakfast would be served. Did not notify us that they do not accept Diners Club cards which caused a huge problem with our payment. Resort was short staffed. Service at swimming pool was extremly poor. Reported faulty Tv and aircon but it was not fixed for the whole duration of our stay.

Review 46:Facilities were good.

Review 47:Confirmation of bookings with provision of incorrect information. we were advised when we booked that the place is 3 bedroomed, and they catered for a special request of an 11 year old child, and when we arrived we were presented with only a 2 bedroomed place, not able to accommodate all the occupants. This is unacceptable, please provide your clients with honest confirmations and be clear, specific where you are unable to accommodate people.

Review 48:Restaurant food very poor! Chalet not clean on arrival - second option given also not properly prepared. Had to wait in the road with two small kids at night while staff ran around to prep chalet - very uncomfortable! This place will not see us again - also would not advise friends/family to stay there! Very sorry about this - we were excited about our stay there - unfortunately it went very wrong! Got half my money back - but would rather pay full and receive 100% satisfaction...
