Shocking experience. Price tag not justified!

The only thing luxury about this stay was the price-tag attached. We and another couple were the only guests due to the flooding in Kruger. Until the day of our arrival, we were not advised if we could actually stay… despite checking with Hoyo Hoyo on every possible channel. The service was shocking. The staff clearly did not care about us. For example, our waiter forgot between our starter and mains that we were both vegetarian… At other times we could not find staff to assist us when we had questions. One small positive were the game drives. Hali (our driver) clearly was passionate about his job. Having stayed at several properties with a similar price tag in national parks both South Africa and other places in Africa, this was by far the worst experience and not the luxury promised by Hoyo Hoyo in its advertising.

Très Mauvais rapport qualité prix

Hoyo Holo a besoin de toute urgence d’une rénovation profonde. L’ensemble du lodge est très vieillot et cela se sent, les parquets de la terrasse ne semblent pas avoir été lustrés ou repeints depuis des années, la chambre était plutôt sale, la moustiquaire ne fermait pas, et nous avons dû appeler la réception en urgence au moment de nous coucher, une porte fenêtre de la chambre ne fermant pas. De plus la nourriture est très moyenne, ce qui n’arrange rien. Un point positif cependant, notre jeune et très sympathique ranger Jana, qui nous a fait passer de très bons moments lors de nos 2 safaris avec lions et léopards au menu. Merci Jana !

Sejour magique et hors du temps

Tout est absolument parfait au hoyo hoyo Service attentionné, cuisine delicieuse, accueil chaleureux On se sent comme dans un cocon. Nous navons rien d'autre à faire que de nous laisser porter par l'équipe en place. Pas de wifi, pas de telephone, pas de télé.... coupés du monde pour une parenthese de detente absolue et de déconnexion. Mille mercis a l'établissement pour ces souvenirs merveilleux

One of the coolest places I’ve stayed. The property was gorgeous with the deck overlooking a watering hole, so you get to watch elephants and other animals that come in to drink while you’re having dinner. Our hut was gorgeous and the staff are extremely helpful and welcoming.

We loved Hoyo Hoyo

Nuestra experiencia en Hoyo Hoyo fue incredible. We had the best time in Hoyo Hoyo. The staff was super friendly, the place has the right amount of confort without being uncomfortable luxurious. The safari tours were great and the fact that it is in a private concession, allows you get closer to the animals, and the area is not crowded with many tourists.

The property lied about their amenities. They claim on the internet and with operators to have Wifi and they do not have wifi, not even a land line. If you need to stay in touch with family, your kids back home or work or your business it is impossible. The staff lies and does not want to help. We had to leave the hotel, go back to Kings Camp, and loose our money. They do not consider it fraud to lie to their clients and did not want to refund. In our 6 people group some had kids back home as small as 6 years old and some our own business and payments to make and work. It was impossible for us to stay.

Experiência incrível

O hotel é relativamente simples pra um hotel 5 estrelas. O serviço é fantástico. Todo o staff é super atencioso e foram muito queridos conosco. Estávamos em lua de mel e prepararam uma mesa especial para a gente em um dos jantares. A comida é MUITO boa. O quarto super confortável. Os games drives são uma experiência e tanto... nunca sabemos o que vamos encontrar pelo caminho. O nosso ranger Kyle foi sensacional. Paciente e bem atento. E todas as vezes que saiamos, parecia que era a primeira vez. Ele ficava tão empolgado quanto nós. Super recomendo o Hoyo Hoyo.

食事やサファリツアーが全て料金に含まれており安心できます。シャワーが建物の外にあり、夜間は野生動物との接触を避けるために使えないのが一番の欠点。通常は夕方のサファリから帰ってきたらシャワーを浴びたいと思うはずです。バスタブは使えますが、頭を洗うのには不便です。その他は素晴らしい設備です。

Großartige Lodge mitten im Krüger Nationalpark

Der Aufenthalt in der Hoyo Hoyo Safari Lodge war großartig. Wir haben rein gar nichts zu bemängeln. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, immer für einen Scherz zu haben und sehr zuvorkommend ohne, dass es „Zuviel“ wird. Herzlichen Dank an Given, Wonderboy und alle anderen Mitarbeiter der Lodge. Das Essen war sehr gut - auf unsere vegetarischen Wünsche wurde perfekt eingegangen.Die Getränkeauswahl ist gut - der Pinotage; der als standardmässiger Rotwein ausgeschenkt wird, schmeckte mir sehr gut. Die Anlage ist ein Traum. Das Haupthaus bietet einen atemberaubenden Blick auf das Wasserloch. Wir haben dort Elefanten, Büffel, Giraffen, Zebras, Impala und an einem Abend sogar Löwen und einen Leopard gesehen. Die 6 Gästehütten sind auf dem Gelände verteilt und zweckmäßig mit riesigem Bett mit Moskitonetz ausgestattet. Toilette und Badewanne sind in der Hütte, draußen ist dann die Dusche mit Sichtschutz aber Blick in die Natur. Stauraum ist nicht viel vorhanden, aber das hat uns nicht gestört. Ich habe eine Massage zu einem großartigen Preis-Leistungsverhältnis in Anspruch genommen. Die Gamedrives (morgens um 5 Uhr und abends um 16.00 Uhr) sind die Höhepunkte des Tages. Es wird auch immer morgens zum Kaffe und abends zum Sundowner-Getränk im Busch angehalten. Unser Ranger Tylan hat uns die Big Five und vieles mehr gezeigt. Man merkt, dass er mit ganz viel Wissen und Herzblut dabei ist. Herzlichen Dank!!!
