The huts were truly a wonderful surprise which was very innovative.

Dinner Flop

Everything else was fine apart from the dinner buffet. It was a HUGE disappointment. Firstly the selection was very limited with only beef and lamb stew. Secondly, the food was cold cold cold, the beef was stone cold, i couldn't eat it. When we told the waitress about it she just mumbled and shrugged it off and vanished. Same as for dessert, the custard was also cold. We were told dinner is served till 20:00 and we went to the restaurant at 18:45, so surely it couldn't've have been because were late. They just served cold food that day.

6/10 Good

Good for an overnight stop. Room was large but not cleaned to an acceptable standard. Security guards do not distinguish check-in guest form visitors, so there is a wait at the gate for entry & exit. Doors do not close shut without forcing them. Aircon needs servicing, at full cooling, managed to keep the room at 25 °C. Breakfast was good but not worth R250 as you have many better options in the area at better value.

The cultural center was a magical experience, blending tradition and tranquility. The tours were deeply informative, and the traditional dances left us mesmerized. My daughters absolutely loved it, and the hotel added to the charm. The staff was incredibly welcoming, especially Chris, who was friendly and attentive, making our stay unforgettable. The serene environment made it a perfect retreat. Highly recommended for families seeking an authentic cultural and relaxing getaway!

6/10 Good

I idea of this property is amazing. The staff is absolutely amazing however I did not receive a cultural experience. The experience was white washed and pitiful exploitation of the tribes represented. It was not until the dance did I feel connected to my ancestors. It was beautiful it spoke to me for me. The food was good but the same options were given for lunch and dinner, there are no near by options unless you have a vehicle.

Friendly staff in a unique accomodation

I had a great stay here. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful and the experience of staying in a traditional south african village is unique. Highly recommend

The staff adds another level of excellent customer service to the already wonderful experience. If you are in Johannesburg, it’s really hard to get anything close to the cultural experience… this place does it. I loved my stay there, loved everyone who worked there, and will definitely make staying here a regular part of my trip anytime I come to Joburg. From learning some words in Zulu to the African drumming lesson to the African dancing show… I can’t rave about it enough. Thank you for making my visit to South Africa extra special.

Good but disorganised

Accommodation good. However, staff at times were disorganised. Room was cleaned late in the evening. Communication could also be improved.

A reserva não estava marcada no sistema deles. Por sorte havia um quarto similar vago. Chegando lá a chave não abria, e tiveram que chamar a assistência técnica. No fim tivemos que trocar o quarto, mas tudo de forma meio caótica e desorganizada. Por outro lado as pessoas estavam tentando ajudar. O quarto era bom, confortável mas o arcond é totalmente subdimensionado e estava quente. Era bem escuro. O banho é ótimo.

What can one say except “exceptional”...... everyone treated us like we were family. Warm smiles & of course big hugs. The food was plentiful, the background knowledge of each tribes history was Wow. The dance boma is something not to miss. The energy and talent is out of this world

Lo maleducado que fue el señor que nos recibió, nos acompañó de mala gana y con un palillo en la boca hasta recepción, no dejó de mirar mientras marcaba el pin de mi tarjeta en el datáfono, luego nos llevó hasta la habitación y se quedó esperando propina casi acosando

Optima opción en Johannesburgo

Un excelente lugar para ir si vas a pasar poco tiempo por Johannesburgo tanto con niños como con pareja. Pagando aparte pero cerca de allí y te pasan a buscar por el hotel se puede interactuar con animales. Sin lugar a dudas un muy buen lugar para dormir y pasar un día completo o incluso dos

Unfortunate:( aha Lesedi is a novelty hotel with nice traditional rooms and interesting environment. The accommodation is in "villages" and I stayed in Zulu Room Nr 1. 2 double beds, thatched roof and nice bathroom. The problem was noise at night which lasted until 1.30am! The thatched roof does nothing for noise insulation. The bungalow was only several metres from a staff "village" which is interesting viewing in day light however no fun while they shout and party late into the night! Additionally staff walked around the outside of the bungalow and tapped into the bungalows hot water supply late into the night! of course i didnt mind them taking water but it was clearly audible that someone was lurking outside of our room and this happened until they went to sleep when noise stopped! Restaurant and bar are nice however chef begrudgingly made me an omelette after he complained there were no more chopped ingredients. I asked he go cut some more which he eventually did!:( Could have been a much more pleasant stay. Unfortunate!
