Why check anywhere else?

The information was clear, the process was easy, the rates were lower than anywhere else. The completion was secure and safe. Why look anywhere else for hotels in South Africa?

The ability to manage fussy clients

We required a booking for the Heritage Day "long weekend" and booked only 2 weeks before which made it impossible to get the desired resort at that time. However it only took a reply to the regret email to get a booking request for another date with the same details. This was good customer service as people hate filling in online forms!

Regarding the booking and payment: all was resolved in a day by exchange of emails especially that being a Saturday.

We made additional requests and were persistent in our confirmations regarding how the kid will be accommodated and this was handled professionally. I was even surprised to receive a follow up call!

We have not stayed at the hotel yet but given the professionalism, I am confident that all will be as desired!

The palace of the lost city is a very beautiful place and I really enjoyed with my wife

Sun City is a very beautiful place were i would like to take my children in December. It is a very secure place and there is alot of activies going one. My booking was professionally taken care of and had no problems but to enjoy the occasion. The staff at the Palace were so great they made me free that i was equally important. I must state however that i had time to go round the other places such as cascades and the vacation centre and the staff there were not very friendly. I assumed maybe because I was a fellow black because I could see a diference with the way they attended to whites. Otherwise my wife and I really had a great time.

Exceptional Service - Going Above & Beyond!

South Africa Hotels has provided me with THE most exceptional service. After a rather unfortunate experience at the hotel we were staying at (due to no fault on the part of South African Hotels), South African Hotels took the matter up on our behalf and ensured that issue was dealt with efficiently and effectively.

I can recommend South Africa Hotels without hesitation as they truly went above and beyond to ensure that we were taken acre of even though there was absolutely no obligation on their part to do so – a true mark of a company that really cares about their customers and one that is willing to go the extra mile.

Thank you so much to Ryan and his team for making us feel valued and I look forward to working with South African Hotels in the future !
