10/10 Excellent

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We had a short stay at the Sanbonani Resort Hotel with our family. The rooms were large and quiet. The staff were friendly and we had the evening buffet which was good value. For our trips to Kruger it proved to be a good location and excellent value.

Excellent Stay

My stay was excellent overall. The only area where I think it needs a bit of focus is the restaurant/food! That really fell below my expectations.

Poor guest care

The accommodations were very nice. Unfortunately there were daily electricity outages. The resort made no effort for guests to be cared for during outages, which happened three times a day for a minimum of 2 hours at a time. Everything is electric. Foreigners are not accustomed to these problems and are stranded in the dark with no resources. The resort needs to find a way to care for their guests during outages.

4/10 Poor

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Staff & service
Frontline reception staff had no authority to take any decisions. Room had bathing water that was running hot and then cold. We requested the staff to correct it but nothing was done about it. Food was of a sub optimal standard with very limited options. We were overcharged for the service we got. I would not recommend Sanbonani to international tourists, specifically from a “value for money” perspective.

Schönes und freundliches Hotel in direkter Nähe zum Kruger National Park. Die Anlage ist sehr schön angelegt und die Pool Anlage sieht super aus. Nettes Personal und ein reichhaltiges Frühstück. Die Tour in den Park haben wir direkt beim Hotel gebucht.
