"Rooms are definitely smaller and shabbier than what is shown on the website. Everything would need a good refurbishment (bedside lamps assembled with different pieces that don’t fit together, etc). Food at the buffet dinner very disappointing: grilled chicken wasn’t grilled, but kind of boiled and soaked in a BBQ-like sauce, vegetable rice inedible, sautéed vegetables tasted rancid. The only good point of the place is the terrace overlooking the river, and the staff that is indeed very nice and courteous."

"We really enjoyed staying at Kruger View Chalets. The kitchen is well equipped, the accommodation is very comfortable and the outdoor patio and braai area is nice and private."

"we slept for just one night. I was overall happy with the accommodation. It was value for money. I would use it again."

"Comfortable and felt secure entire time. Friendly and capable staff allowed me to focus on the reasons for being there."

"Rio Vista a place you need to visit! Offers all in one! From accomodation to entertainment Rio Vista will have you covered. Friendly staff always ready to assist. The food is superb! Defnitely a place that I will visit again!"

"Lovely BnB in Malelane. Clean rooms abundant towels. Good bed. Great breakfast. BnB in boomed area so good security. Great place for a quick stop ....."

"Good location of the Lodge in relation to the Malelane gate of the Kruger Park. Nice rooms. Delicious food in the associated restaurant and friendly service. Work points - Breakfast is very limited and mediocre. Coffee was lukewarm; no bread available. You have to pay extra for an omelette,… - insulation in rooms is downright bad. You hear everything the neighbors do. - generator next to the room causes a lot of noise."

"This was our 2nd stay at River House Lodge and again it did not disappoint. There have been some upgrades since our last trip which only enhanced our stay further. On this trip my sister and I decided to just stay at the Lodge and not do a safari as we just wanted to relax and see what animals we could spot from the veranda, we were not disappointed! We saw hippos, elephants, impala, crocodiles, warthogs, water buck and many bird species. An absolutely wonderful 4 days. Our room was clean and very comfortable with all that we needed and was beautifully made up and cleaned daily. The food served at breakfast and dinner was very tasty and plentiful, we had some traditional dishes that we possibly would not have chosen, the food was served hot and nicely presented and breakfast is now served on the terrace which was a lovely addition, especially being joined by a very playful solitary elephant each morning! But what really sets River House Lodge apart is the wonderful staff. Hard working, polite, kind and friendly who always greet you with a smile and ask about your day or if you need anything. I’ve read some negative reviews on here and for me it seems like they are describing somewhere else! This place is not a shiny, faceless corporate hotel, it’s homely, friendly and has a wonderful ambience providing a wonderfully authentic African experience! I can’t wait to go back soon."
