Saint Lucia hotell

Plus: Good location very clean and near lots of restaurants that you could walk to.

Minus: The room configuration was a little odd and only one toilet but two showers. There was a bed in kitchen area would of been better in the dining room area as to use toilet you had to pass through someone sleeping

Plus: friendly staff

Minus: Lounge could not seat 6 people / no table inside to work on / no broom or mop if something was spilt on the floor / dirty drying cloth / no cupboard space for groceries / after 3 requests for a braai - went and got it myself / not good parking

Plus: Setting

Minus: Narrow driveway s

Plus: The staff went out the way to assist us. With quieries assisting with transport game.drives..rooms were beauty and well thought out. Loved the pool and braai facility

Plus: Situated on the main road and not too far to restaurants and bars. Decent size rooms ( ours had 2 bedrooms ) with parking at the door. Reasonably good value. Breakfast was nice.

Minus: Poolside bar was not open at all, which was a factor we were looking for when booking.

Plus: Friendly, painless check-in and very helpful reception desk. Nice location- not very far from the center but also from the start of the hiking trails to get to the estuary banks and the beach.

Minus: Even though the overall impression of this place is definitely positive, you can see and feel it's had its best years already. Probably needs refurbishment sooner or later.

Plus: Swimming pool, nice room

Minus: No Wifi

Plus: Nothing

Minus: They never told me they a closing at 9pm. I called before that, nobody answered

Plus: A very nice location with beautiful views and an attractive garden supported by very good staff (but less satisfied with owner/manager)

Minus: We were negatively surprised by a non selfcatering room, which was sold as an upgrade with free breakfast (while the breakfast was already included in our initial deal). The next two days we got what we asked for. I do not like being misused to optimize the capacity utilization/profit of a lodge. The owner, Amanda, hided behind meetings, first weekend off in months, etc. Her communication looks more like a virual bot than a human being behind the message.

Plus: View was superb, room was spacious and comfortable, breakfast was excellent. Pleasant stroll into town... Staff were lovely and helpful.

Minus: Nothing

Plus: The location was great and the accommodation lovely, but most of all the staff were great. They went the extra mile

Minus: Nothing

Plus: Beautiful location, very friendly staff, great rooms.

Minus: Nothing

Plus: The staff were very friendly and very well organised, especially for arranging and booking tours. Our room (3) was comfortable with a very good A/C and the bathroom was spacious with a nice shower. There's also a small fridge in the room and a good coffee/tea station. The upstairs terrace where breakfast is served was lovely with a nice view. The lodge has a pretty garden and two pools. Everything was immaculate. There's a comfortable lounge and bar area upstairs too which will be useful in colder or rainy weather.

Minus: Our room was a bit dark and we would have liked a ceiling fan. Unfortunately there was some repair work going on at the time, so we couldn't really make use of the lovely communal veranda just outside the room. We would have preferred a proper door to the bathroom/toilet rather than the material folding contraption which didn't give much privacy.

Plus: In St Lucia just about every house is now a B & B or a Self Contained apartment. Ndiza is no exception. However, it is not on the main street and therefore it is relatively quiet. Fortunately, or unfortunately, we did not see any hippos on the street or out of the river. The accommodation is secure with a steel gate at the entrance and you need a remote control to open it. The room, a Cabana, is adequate but the bathroom is very strange with a strange and narrow layout. One could get hurt on the towel rack. The room was otherwise spacious and as, a self-catering accommodation, there is a fridge, microwave, hotplates and the usual pots and pans. We did not use it as breakfast was included and we ate out for dinner. All in all, it is a good base for exploring the nearby national parks.

Minus: The bathroom is strange and almost dangerous. The cleaning person always used to open the windows, a good thing in a way but AC does not work if the windows are open.

Plus: the staff is very friendly - wonderfull St. Lucia

Plus: June and Gary are truly great hosts and a lot of fun. Nothing is too much for them to ensure a pleasant stay. A relaxing beer with them at a local restaurant can turn into an exciting all night party! Would surely visit again.

Plus: Absolute lovely landlord - and cute dog - with time and service for the guests!

Minus: Terrace could not be used fully on the evening, due to only few lights.

Plus: We loved the location, the lovely room and the amazing staff!

Minus: -

Plus: So relaxing and Tessa the owner lovely ,,,,,Home from Home

Plus: Everything

Minus: Everything was perfect

Plus: A very nice lodge with a nice host Tessa. She is friendly and knows what hospitality is all about. The room is a little small but still very comfortable. The bed is superb and shower really good. Breakfast is good and there is a nice pool area. We really recommend this lodge.

Minus: Nothing!

Plus: Almost everything was excellent

Minus: Nothing at all

Plus: Oh yes the bed was so comfortable

Minus: You know there was nothing I didn't like in that property.

Plus: Wonderful friendly and professional service, room and bathroom were clean, neat and very comfortable, free wifi, breakfast was good, safe parking facilities and to top it all, my car that was very dirty after a game drive, was washed for me. Now that is great service. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Plus: Very comfortable with attractive garden

Plus: Colin, the host, provided an extremely warm and informative welcome, explaining about the town and the area and available activities, including making tour bookings. The common spaces including dining area were welcoming with a "colonial" feel. Lovely garden and swimming pool. Excellent breakfast. Very kind and understanding hosts in a difficult time for us all, including themselves. Very personal service. Comfortable, good-sized "single" room, which was definitely big enough for 2 even though I was on my own.

Minus: Nothing

Plus: Very nice property, helpful advices from the owner, nice breakfast, good location.

Minus: The fact we had to leave.

Plus: Now we travel a bit. Or we did before Covid-19. And I don’t give places a top score very often. But this is a place that impresses. Colin, Natalie and their staff are outstanding. Free drink at check-in, sherry and fruit every evening, immediate generator operation when power fails, help booking things like boat rides and restaurants, birthday cake made for my Mrs, gardener with a neat sideline in car washing... it goes on. And the room was brill. Loads of space. Everything you need. A lovely town with great access to iSimangaliso. And where else do you get hippos grazing the lawns at night for goodness sake! Haha incredible. Just loved it!

Minus: Zero. Even bloody Covid-19 and the booze-bans couldn’t stop us enjoying this place.

Plus: Excellent and helpful host,lots of advice on the locality,ideal location v.short drive to town restaurants

Minus: Perfection

Plus: Great place to stay at with a lot of style and ambiance. Amazing hosts with good advice, nice and big rooms and really good breakfast.

Minus: Nothing.

Plus: Everything was simply very good

Plus: Family business Nice people and helpful

Plus: Jättetrevlig personal.

Plus: Everything was perfekt.

Minus: Nothing.

Plus: Lodge Afrique is a small hotel with 8 separate attractive thatched ensuite rooms set in an atmospheric garden which belied the fact that you were in St Lucia town. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well equipped. The lodge was awash with interesting artifacts which gave the place a real charm. Breakfast was well presented and nice (no evening menu was offered). The real star is the Manager Esmerie who could not have been more caring and helpful to us, as my wife had broken her ankle a few days earlier. The support Esmerie gave us in the face of a difficult time was very much appreciated. Many thanks.

Minus: Nothing realy. Dinner was not available at the property but there are plenty of restaurants nearby.

Plus: We felt like home at Lodge Afrique. It’s perfectly located to discover the area incl. Isimangaliso and Hluhluwe and to recharge and relax. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. We had the perfect time at Lodge Afrique and will come back soon.

Plus: Very friendly welkom by the owner of the lodge. Beach towels and coolbox available for a day at the beach. Excellent breakfast.

Plus: Ac fungerade inte men de fixade den direkt. Kanonservice Min smutstvätt blev tvättad snabbt och smidigt.

Plus: A great welcome and huge help throughout from Esmarie. A lovely place with great staff (and a beautifully presented breakfast) in a fascinating resort.

Minus: Nothing!

Plus: Everything it was one of the nicest places I’ve ever stayed . And the staff were fantastic

Minus: Nothing

Plus: Location Staff

Minus: Rooms had a musty smell

Plus: A friendly and convenient Lodge close to all the restaurants and sea. The staff were incredibly helpful and recommended places to go and eat and the best river safari to go on. The rooms are large with aircon, wifi, bath and showes. Everything you need for a stopover. It's rustic and down to earth and great value for money.

Minus: We are vegan so breakfast was limited, but at least they tried.

Plus: Närheten till naturen

Plus: Very Friendly greeting. Room was very comfortable and it was great to have a bath after 5 days in game parks with only showers! Breakfast was great. We were able to see several species of birds and mongooses and vervet monkeys whilst enjoying our breakfast. Very helpful information given. They booked our river trip for us and organised the pick up direct form the Lodge. Good recommendations about where to eat in the evenings.

Plus: The location is great, right at the main street and within walking distance from all the restaurants and activities. Kerry, Michelle and the rest if the staff were very friendly and helpful. The lodge itself is setup nicely with all the rooms around the pool area, though you still have enough privacy as the garden makes it all a bit more secluded. The rooms and bathrooms are quite big and spacious. The pool has enough sun loungers around for a relaxed afternoon chilling after all that St. Lucia has to offer.

Plus: We as a family loved Lidiko Lodge, all the staff were very friendly and helpful and made us feel special and comfortable. The breakfast was delicious, lovely choice of fruit, yoghurts, cereals, pastries and back. Egg etc. The pool was great for both families and couples. Nice quiet and peaceful feel and beautiful gardens. Excellent location for walking to restaurants and bars. All in all fantastic. We will be coming back

Plus: The staff was great

Minus: Breakfast

Plus: The property is located, conveniently, for a short stroll to most of the restaurants, but tucked away enough to be very peaceful, with a beautiful tropical terraced garden. The staff were very nice and helpful. They went out of their way to assist when my husband was unwell, and the manager sent for her partner who is a medic, for advice. We’re most grateful for their thoughtfulness. As my husband missed out on the excursions, we will definitely be going back and staying there, for sure.

Minus: There wasn’t anything to dislike.

Plus: Extremely friendly people. Beautiful gardens. Very clean. Very confortable bed. Very nice breakfast. Within walking distance of very good restaurants, bars and shops. Safe neighbourhood. All perfect and would highly recommend Lidiko lodge and St Lucia.

Plus: Great host, she give us many tips and help with our trips e.g. our safaris

Plus: Nice lodge, Perfect service, mega friendly staff, delicious breakfast, poll can be used at any time!

Minus: Little bit more expensive in comparison to other lodges we stayed in.

Plus: It was a great time there, the place is perfect, very good breakfast, and the owners Philip and Aline were much more than friendly! They are wonderful people and I hope we can meet again! I wish them luck and happiness in their life! Many thanks!

Minus: If I have to say something I didn't like there, it's difficult! Maybe the room illumination, but it is just because I prefer warmer lights than the white ones, and I like to read in the bed at night and the light there was not perfect. I'm explaining this just because I'm trying to find something was not totally perfect there, because everything there was really GREAT ;-) Thanks!

Plus: The property was centrally located and within a easy three minute walk to the restaurants and supermarkets Etc. Our hosts Philip and Eileen were incredibly welcoming, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. They recommended and arranged tours and provided an alternative route to Durban when we left, taking in some local scenery and points of interest. Breakfast was served on the veranda overlooking the mature garden and the food was good. Our room was very spacious with kitchen and sitting area. There was off-street parking away from the hippos. We would certainly return to St. Lucia and stay at this property without hesitation.

Plus: Nice place to stay Owners and staff were great we had a triple room which was great

Minus: Toilet and entrance to shower was a bit small

Plus: Beautiful place. Owners were very friendly and helpful. Very close to the centre. Beds very comfortable. Really enjoyed our stay here and wanted for nothing.

Plus: We had a great time. Got a upgrade just for free. The apartment was beautiful, spacious and well equipped. The breakfast was delicious. And the most important thing, the owners were so friendly and helpful. Especially in the corona time the arranged lots of things and managed phone calls or for us. Thank you again!

Minus: Everything was perfect.

Plus: Philipp and Eileen were very very nice and helped us booking several tours and even dives in sodwana bay(which is 2:30h away). The rooms were super nice and quiet. Theres really nothing to complain about. So if you plan a trip to st lucia, stay there!

Plus: Trevlig och engagerad ägare som är mån om att gästerna ska trivas.

Plus: Everything! Great location, beautiful rooms, good breakfast. Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you again for the travel tips!

Minus: Nothing!

Plus: At St Lucia Guesthouse Our spirits arouse No neglect It was perfect!

Plus: A quiet and comfortable Guest House that is well run and clean. Suits all ages. There is a nice pool in the lush tropical Garden. Great hosts who are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Staff are really nice. Breakfast is made to order and very good. Rooms are well kept and the Air-Con works well (important for a northern tourist in the tropics). Good, quiet and green location with safe and short walking distance to the restaurants and shops. We can really recommend this Guest House!

Minus: We had no complaints.

Minus: There were no bar snacks and the bar appeared to be a bit of a shambles. The kitchen staff were adamant that we could not get a snack at 21h00 because they were closing, so we had to go out for a sandwich (I am diabetic). We were concerned about the safety of the parking. As someone who has worked in the hospitality industry for 25 years, I felt that more could have been done to make guests feel more at home. We won't stay there again.

Plus: nothing much really had a crappy view when asked to be relocated but they said it was going to be occupied but 2 days later the rooms were still vacant

Minus: white staff was racist like we were invisible only 2 greeted and acknowledged us breakfast was a joke

Plus: Lovely, very clean place, very friendly and helpful staff

Minus: A small bar fridge in the room would have completed the exellent value

Plus: The view is absolute beautiful Breakfast is exellent very big selection Rooms was clean

Plus: I liked the location and the breakfast

Minus: Your staff don't greet.they not freindly . They use old uniform and torn.your bathroom are too small. And the rooms are small.

Plus: Bra frukost, bra läge och trevlig personal. Rummen är lagom stort, med skön säng. Bra uteplats, och poolområdet har gott om plats. Promenadavstånd till flera trevliga restauranger. Bra parkering precis utanför dörren.

Minus: Saknar kylskåp och wifi på rummet, samt dynor på solstolarna vid poolen.

Plus: Quite and safe location - 5 mn by foot from the noisy downtown. Nice garden. Very tasty breakfast freshly cooked each morning. Dynamique owners with interesting discussions. Plumbing issue quickly fixed the same day.

Minus: Too dark room and furnitures

Plus: The rooms were very clean and decorated with African things and furniture. There was a mosquito net as well. We felt really comfortable and can highly recommend this accommodation. Breakfast was delicious and fresh with a lot of choices.

Minus: Everything was perfect!

Plus: African Ambience is clean, beautiful, in a good location, and there are many amenities. The most special this place, are the owners- Hennie and Ilse. They were there to greet us when we got in, gave us a map, information and advice as to what to do and where to go. They booked tours for us, and even made a special breakfast to-go for us when they found out we were leaving early for the day! Best place to stay by far!

Plus: Hospitality of Hennie and Ilse!

Minus: The bed in the double room a bid small

Plus: Very limited options

Minus: It should have been a buffet with several options

Plus: The service of the owners, Hennie and Ilse, the beatifull garden and the luxurious rooms . Also the breakfast was very good. We got a lot of tips what to do and visit in the beautifull area of st Lucia. TOP LOCATION!

Minus: Νothing

Plus: Isabelle and all the staff were extremely helpful and friendly

Minus: Poor wi fi in my room...the furthest from Reception.

Plus: Fabulous breakfast, super friendly and helpful staff who upgraded us as we were the only guests, refreshing pool and good location

Minus: Not so much a didn’t like, but an interesting layout with bathroom down a passage from our room

Plus: Conveniently located

Minus: The parking of vehicles and no security or gate that could be locked or accessed via remote

Plus: The hostess Monica was really excellent also the breakfast was outstanding!

Minus: Nothing

Plus: Location, breakfast and staff were excellent.

Minus: Bed was not comfortable

Plus: Amazing breakfast. Very friendly staff. Amazing setting.

Plus: Wow, what a lovely, peaceful place. Delightful owner. Also great breakfast.

Minus: Nothing

Plus: This was our third stay at Serene-Estate. It is well situated, the rooms are large and overlook the pool and park beyond. It will always be our first choice should we be lucky enough to return.

Minus: I do not believe there is anything not to like.

Plus: The Best thing was the garden and the pool. Always something to see. Birds monkeys bats a hippo. Loved it. The room was spacious and the bed really good.

Plus: This was the best stay my husband & I ever had in the area and the continent really. Truely worth it. Amazing architecture, attention to detail and cleanliness cannot be faulted! I was happy! I would go back and spend the money all over again! Peaceful- PVT- all you can ask for! Zama- JHB

Minus: Can not fault it!

Plus: Very easy to find towards the end of the main street, secure parking accessed from the rear. As you enter you immediately get the 'wow' factor. Superior quality Bush style lodge that has it all, from a very kind, friendly and knowledgeable manager Diane, to each and every member of staff who welcome you with smiles. All genuine, all lovely people. Diane directed me to best local pub for a cold beer and booked a hippo/crock tour for the following morning which was superb. Her very knowledgeable young assistant gave excellent advice and direction for some top game viewing the following day. Rooms are large and cool (air con works a treat), bathroom/wetroom perfect, all under a beautiful thatched roof surrounded by lush vegetation reminding you you're in deepest Zulu Africa. Breakfast, served in the Boma above the pool was the absolute best, everything you can possibly think off, all top quality. Super friendly staff ensuring everything is just the way you want it. Really, genuinely super lovely people. The whole experience was perfect, cant thank them enough and will definitely be returning.

Minus: I liked absolutely everything about this place, cant think of one single fault

Plus: Everything great manager great staff just a fantastic place to stay.

Plus: Aircon, PowerPoint for charching phone, excellent staff, gorgeous pool and delicious breakfast, definitely booking for Easter weekend x

Minus: There's nothing to dislike x

Plus: The receptionist was very rude

Plus: The rooms had high ceilings held together by wooden trusses under a thatched roof. It was very rustic but very comfortable. The air conditioning works well (when there is electricity - see below) and the beds are comfortable and the showers good. The gardens of the Lodge were lovely with a swimming pool in the middle and the breakfast room overlooking the gardens. The breakfasts were good and very plentiful and the staff were ever helpful. One of the outside lights wasn't working when we arrived but was fixed as soon as we mentioned it - that was very good.

Minus: The only real negative was the "load shedding" which seemed to be happening all the time, six times in one 24 hour period!! I would emphasise though that this is NOT a fault of the property but the incompetence of Eskom and the South African Government to provide a proper electricity supply. The lady running the Lodge was "tearing her hair out" with the problems of electricity supply and apologising to us profusely but as with so many other things in this stunningly beautiful country there isn't a great deal that property owners can do.

Plus: Swimming pool that is reached directly from thr room. Delicious breakfast.

Minus: The toilet was not fully separated from the room.

Plus: The place was excellent to stay in. Well maintained with everything needed for a convenient stay. We got pre-packed breakfast in a picnic cooler for the days we went early for a game drive. The staff helped us with arranging the tours we wanted to do.

Plus: Rooms were a really good size with easy access to the pool and close proximity to shops, restaurants and tours. The staff were lovely and it just felt like a great place to relax. The beach nearby is awesome too!!

Plus: Nice big room with big bed and good bathing part. Swimming pool in the sun with deck chairs. Good breakfast and a very pleasant, friendly and relaxed host. We really can recommend this lodge!

Plus: The breakfast is great, the rooms are nicely decorated, the location is nearby the main road and the staff is very friendly. Just perfect!

Plus: The staff was very friendly, a late check in was possible and we were very warmly welcomed. The room at itself and the dining room were tastefully decorated. Sometimes you can spot hippos in the street so we did after a night game drive. We were advised not to go on the streets at night. We have had a great time. The breakfast was outstanding! Further more there is the option to get a well prepared lunch paket for going on game drive early.

Minus: The family room has a bathroom, which provides no privacy. It's open into the room. We stayed as a group of four friends , knowing that we have chosen a shared room but not expecting that the bathroom is not closed.

Plus: Beautiful place, very clean. We got clean towels every day. The location is perfect. Amazing breakfast!

Plus: Lovely clean house  Spacious bedroom en-suite shower  Very nice breakfast  Nice area Staff helpful, pleasant and approachable

Minus: None

Plus: Personalen Frukosten Rummen Poolen Trädgården Parkeringen Läget

Minus: Ac i allrummet Bättre Wi-Fi

Plus: Noisy location, noisy room, smelling humidity

Minus: friendly manager

Plus: The staff was great and helped with all our concerns. The rooms were also really nice and cozy.

Minus: I don't think anything could be better. For the price, the place was perfect.

Plus: The lodge has a really nice cosy vibe and it's located in the proximity of the city centre of St. Lucia, a walking distance from shops and restaurants.

Plus: friendly and cofortable stay

Minus: nil

Plus: Initially did not identify my reservation and we were told the hotel was full! On checking further found reservation but for different rooms on the two nights which was inconvenient. First room had a water leak in the bathroom but this was sorted relatively quickly.

Minus: See above

Plus: best Breakfast Service Lady ever. but she was the only person we meet their

Minus: alles sehr dunkel, Tankstelle laut direkt nebenan

Plus: We had a perfect stay at Umlilo Lodge! Everything was perfect. Staff is super friendly, they arranged the hippo river boat tour and a safari for us. Room was nice with good airco, big comfortable bed, good shower. Breakfast was good as well; delicious omelet with cheese, onion, tomato and peppers, muesli with fresh fruits and yoghurt. We loved the jungle vibe with all the trees! We enjoyed relaxing at the pool in the afternoon while the monkeys were running around and climbing in the trees. The location is great, very close (3 min walk) to the restaurants. You don’t have to go by car if you want to have dinner. If we ever go back to St Lucia we would stay here again. Highly recommended!

Minus: Nothing, everything was perfect!

Plus: Clean rooms,friendly staff Breakfast was awesome Just loved everything about this place looking forward to visit again

Plus: Better than what I expected.

Minus: Gate not locked.

Plus: Laura the host was great and everything was perfect. She made our stay quite comfortable.

Plus: Breakfast was very good, the kids and I liked it so much.

Minus: Only one TV is places in the lounge area. This is not good if multiple families want to watch TV, people don't necessarily want to share intimate spaces with others during holidays. The owner should put Smart TVs in all rooms, that's what happens lately.

Plus: Everything about the place was awesome, made the booking to Hluhluwe imfolozi simple and easy, the host was excellent, staff very friendly.

Minus: Nothing

Plus: Its quite. Nice pool, breakfast was fabulous

Minus: This place is nice and relaxing. We really enjoyed it
