Hotel was very nice and would have liked to have spent more time participating in the activities. Back door of room opened onto the reserve and could see animals grazing from the room. Very nice place. ##### Carroll ### 10/10 Excellent #### Shannon 18 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I’ve stayed in many beautiful hotels around the world, but Botlierskop is, without question, the best hotel I’ve ever experienced. Booked 1 night, stayed 2 - best decision we made. One night isn't enough! We don’t often return to the same place, but we’ll definitely be back. The setting, the people, the service, the wildlife — it all came together to create a truly unforgettable stay. We stayed in a deluxe tent, which was stunning and incrediblycomfortable. The spa was equally impressive. What really sets this reserve apart is the attention to detail and level of service. The staff were warm, professional, and genuinely passionate. Huge thanks to the lovely reception team, the knowledgeable and funny sommelier, our amazing guides (especially Kali on our game drive and Victor for horse riding), and Jeclan the porter, who made us feel so welcome. We also had another wonderful guide on our morning game drive, extremely knowledgeable, though we sadly missed his name. The reserve is huge, spanning two valleys, and unlike other reserves, all animals live in the same natural environment. Animals roam freely, just as they would in the wild. The commitment to conservation is clear — from maintaining ecological balance to protecting endangered specie. You can feel that wildlife and nature come first here. We even had the once-in-a-lifetime experience of horse riding beside giraffes. We highly recommend doing both the morning and evening game drives — each offers something unique. ##### Shannon Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric 15 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a great property as it has a range of stay options plus a separate place for day visitors who want to do a game drive. The 'tent' was quite luxurious and game drives informative and exciting. i liked the option to pay what you use and not just an 'all inclusive' which is better value for people who don't eat and drink huge amounts. Fully recommend. ##### Eric Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Haifa 17 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Limited transportation! They need to work on this ##### Haifa Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Sophie 9 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a very beautiful hotel and has amazing safari grounds. Rooms are beautiful, clean and inviting. Overall very expensive for what you get and has a lot of hidden fees on arrival. It is a shame that things such as breakfast or activities are not included or discounted with the significant cost of a room per night. We paid approximately AU$1500 per night and only received the hotel room. Even arrival drinks come at a cost. The experiences such as the safari tour and horse riding were excellent, and the staff members were fantastic. However, staff at the guest services and throughout the hotel facilities were not inviting and often ignored guests. Would think with the price paid and 5-star experience customer service would be better. When seated for dinner and breakfast you have a designated seated table for your room. If asked to sit in an alternative place staff members respond by stating "the viewing tables and window seating is for those guests who have paid more money and stay for longer". Understandable, however, due to the large period of time provided for breakfast and dinner perhaps guests could sit where seats are available. I would recommend doing the safari tour/alternative activities as a day trip only and not staying at the hotel. You can visit this hotel and have the same experiences - with much less of a cost. ##### Sophie Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### sharon 16 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful lodge with exquisite views ##### sharon Stayed 1 night in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert 22 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wonderful A peace of heaven, wonderful staff and class facilities.

After filling out the various registration forms, we signed up for an afternoon safari and had some lunch whilst we waited. The safari was excellent, with the guide asking what we'd most like to see, and then drove round the reserve until we could find the various animals on our wish list. The Guide was excellent, obviously knowledgeable and quite witty - all of which making for a great afternoon out. When we got back, out cases had been put into our room/tent. Our meals were first class and the whole experience something to treasure. ##### Colin&Chris Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 8 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Fantastic place, the views are incredible. The food was really good and all the staff were all great. Our tent was lovely and as we were travelling on our honeymoon we received a welcome gift on arrival. During our stay we did the game drive 2 times and saw all the animals, the game rangers have fantastic knowledge about all the animals. Hopefully we’ll be back one day. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 18 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Such an amazing experience.

We did a game drive, back horse riding, tennis, and a massages. However, their safari is small compared to Kruger where I stayed previously. Only saw 2 of the big 5, elephants and lions. It would have been nice to see all. They do not have leopards in their reserve. Aside from that, the stay was great, fantastic pools and dinners at the restaurant as well as a great service. I did not like their breakfast as it lacked the choices, a lot of pork choices, but for someone who does not eat pork, there was not much to choose from. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 6 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Einfach alles ist perfekt Die Unterkunft Der Service Das Essen ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 25 Jan 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was just lovely in the valley amidst nature............ ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wunderschönes sehr liebevoll eingerichtete Lodge.

Sehr zu empfehlen! wir waren 2 Nächte in Botlierskop und hatten ein Deluxe Zelt. Mal was ganz anderes und wirklich schön :-) Als wir nach dem Dinner zurück ins Zelt kamen , war unser Bett schon vorgewärmt. Das Housekeeping hatte die Heizdecke im Bett angeschaltet :-) Das Dinner , zugebucht für rund 21 Euro, war phantastisch und den Preis mehr als wert. Die ganze Anlage und das Personal ist einfach toll. Alle super freundlich und zuvorkommend. Der Ausblick vom Pool grandios. Gleich am 1. Tag sah man die Giraffen unten im Tal umherziehen. Wir hatten den game drive am Morgen (Abfahrt 6 Uhr) und den am Nachmittag gebucht. Je 3 Stunden. Rico, unser Fahrer,war echt klasse und hat sich wahnsinnig Mühe gegeben, damit wir auch alle Tiere zu Gesicht bekamen. Sein Fachwissen war beeindruckend und seine Erzählungen lustig und interessant. 200 Euro für 2 Personen für 2 drives waren auf jeden Fall nicht zu teuer! Im Nachhinein haben uns die Safaris in Botlierskop (das Gelände umfasst 6000 ha, ist also gar nicht so klein) besser gefallen als unser game drive im Addo elephant park wo wir (wohl aufgrund des sehr warmen Tages) in 6 Stunden fast nur Elefanten und Zebras gesehen haben. ##### Regina Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANDRE 18 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sensacional O hotel é simplesmente sensacional.
