Wonderful experience of lesotho culture. So enjoyed the cultural village which is right on the losge grounds. Pleasant staff, prepare for service at restsurant to be slower than expected but food was nicely presented and varied in selection. Wifi at restaurant and rooms. Tv channels in english or english subtitles. Beautiful grounds. Prepare for 40 minute drive from airport and arrange transportation in advance. Contact mabohlokoa more tours and travel ltd (talk to mabo) . Safe clean cars with ac.

Prachtig gelegen huisjes die in een themapark liggen. Interessant en de traditionele voorstelling door het personeel is de moeite waard. Jammer dat de kookvoorzieningen niet meer gebruikt konden worden.

Property was laid back. Sleeping quarters was a bit far from main office and restaurant, so, walking in the dark tend to be a bit challenging

The cleanliness was perfect, the personal friendly, the surroundings unique and well tended. Breakfast fair. We had dinner, since there was a group, we as a couple were offered to take part at the buffet which was ok, tasty food. A guided hike up the Thaba Bosiu historical site was an absolute highlight, well and vividly explained.

Some little adjustments to make it a really good .

We like the place a lot. However one we had to go about 50 mitres from the room to use the WiFi. This was very frustrating!! Also I found the breakfast disappointing. The pillows were really hard to the point I had to remove them and use the towels as a pillow.

An Oasis far from the capital

This is an Oasis in the middle of nowhere. Half way between the airport and the capital. Half an hour away from each. There were no phones in the room, no reception after midnight and rooms are far from reception area. The internet did not work in the rooms.

We were really impressed with both the room we stayed in and the restaurant we had breakfast at. Both were really great! This was our first stay during our six week stay in Africa. The room was clean and very comfortable, and both the dinner and breakfast were both really wonderful. We enjoyed the hike to the top of the mountain.
