Ananda Lodge

Great stay. Bathrooms are very small but had a good rest waking up to the sound and air of the bush.

The service was terrible and even checked in at 16h30,the swimming pool was dirty and even in the rooms the were not even glasses and reception staff seems not to care when we reported the matter

The lodge is beautiful. Great yard and facilities that were available. The receptionists were helpful and really kind. I enjoyed a portion of my stay there. The room are very big and spacious but there were bugs on the beds, which is understandable because the roof is thetched and obviously no ceilings.Breakfast was the worst. There was hardly and food left and i went there at 9. There was no juice as well, just the normal tea and coffee, not all tables were set had complete cutlery. I was disappointed. The breakfast was also very limited and not a vast choice to at least have a satisfactory meal was there, even if their buffet was replenished.

A place that needs a little tlc is this one the pool need to be cleaned

Well, some of the staff are really trying hard. But unfortunately the whole place seems to be run like a non functioning government department. Depends on your tolerance levels, the place has a certain charm, you could stay over if you needed to.

Stayed there 15 - 17 April and the service there was horrible.1. The rooms were so stuffy, like they hadn't been cleaned it aired in ages.2. The pool was dirty, full of leaves and the receptionist said she didn't know when the pool guy would come in to clean it.3. The rooms don't have basic stuff you would expect to find at a self catering place such as microwave, plates or cutlery.4. Our rooms weren't cleaned after the 1st night and the receptionist said I was supposed to leave the keys at reception for them to clean which was never mentioned to me upon check-in.5. The main number used for the lodge rings at a different hotel and they give out a cellphone number which gets switched off at 4pm when the receptionist knocks off, no other way of getting in touch with the lodge staff after hours.6. The staff there is just plain rude.Don't think I'll be going back there

Receptionist Pearl had an attitude. Was booked in for 2 nights. 2 and 3 Dec 2022. Friday night was ok. Saturday there was a function. The people carried on screaming and yelling and laughing, whistling and playing loud music until 3 sunday morning the 4th of Dec. We did not get sleep at all. We are coming from the hustle and bustle from the city to get some rest and peace then you get this. How can a lodge not look out for everyone staying there. I can understand the party but why not come and say ok people its after 22.00. Or 23.00, Please quiet down, or turn down the music,there are also other people staying here. Rules are not applied at all. The only person who actually cared and was friendly and listened to our grievances Was the security guard, oldish madala at the gate. I couldnt complain to anyone from the lodge because no one was found at reception sunday morning. Pathetic.

Stunning place just a pity some guests had parties until 2am in the morning and left the place filthy.

The staff there is extremely rude and I hate that they don't have name tags I would've liked to call out the lady who mistreated us. Pool was dirty, you could never survive a day visit there it's so dull. I regret visiting that place
