Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Excellent service from the staff
Negative: Price discrimination at its finest. This was my first time in South Africa, my 53rd country, with hundreds of hotel stays worldwide and I have never experienced anything like this before. I booked the hotel several months in advance for over 800 euros. After the free cancellation period had passed, the price dropped by around 30%. It was genuinely shocking. Booking early felt like a disadvantage rather than a benefit, which is the opposite of what you would expect from a guest-focused pricing strategy. I raised this issue at reception upon arrival, but the response was minimal, suggesting this may be a common practice. Unfortunately, this left me feeling misled and impacted the start of what was meant to be an exciting trip. To be fair, once we settled in, the experience itself was very good. The staff went above and beyond, the property is beautiful with stunning river views, we saw the Big Four, and the food was excellent. I raised the pricing issue again before departure and sincerely hope management reviews their pricing approach. As it stands, guests are effectively penalized for booking early. Had I known this, I would have booked last minute, especially since the property does not appear to get fully booked. For future travelers, it may be more cost effective to stay in Kenton or Boknes and visit on a day trip. You will save significantly and not miss much of the experience.
Summary: Read before booking: Better to book last minute
