NtanganedzeniSouth AfricaI can’t recommend any one to stay in this property
Everything below standard
Property is dirty ,room not cleaned and poor services
CornelissenSouth AfricaVery disappointing stay, won't stay there again
Nothing
I didn't like anything unfortunately. When I arrived the reception was closed, had to find someone to get me to my room. There was no key and the gate didn't lock to my room, so the one guy had to go find my key.…
JabulaniSouth AfricaDid not enjoy my stay
The location was easily accessible.
The door couldn't lock, the TV was not working, the toilet was leaking and the shower did not have a glass.
Couldn't sleep well at night because I couldn't lock the door.

What we’d check for you here
- How many rooms they will hold at once, for how long, and on what terms.
- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.
- Whether breakfast is in the rate or added at checkout, and what time it runs.
- Whether the rate moves for your dates, and what it includes.
- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about Bothabelo Lodge
What time is check-in and check-out at Bothabelo Lodge?
Check-in is from 2:00 PM. Check-out is by 10:30 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does Bothabelo Lodge allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at Bothabelo Lodge?
Yes — the property states that parking on site is free. Whether a space can be reserved in advance varies, so we check it against your dates.
Does Bothabelo Lodge have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at Bothabelo Lodge?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does Bothabelo Lodge have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at Bothabelo Lodge?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does Bothabelo Lodge have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
How do I book Bothabelo Lodge?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
