Speak To A Friend

Queries and bookings responded to very quickly. Unlike many other booking agents South African Hotels undertake arrangements on a personal basis not with some anonymous person or system.

Efficient, friendly service - really is the name of the game! Thank you Lerato!

I have dealt with Lerato and the team for a number of years now. It is such a pleasure to make a booking via such a friendly employee! She remembers her clients and always enquires about my well-being. Bookings, payments are wrapped up in an efficient manner; hassle free!! When I convey my special and fussy requests they are always sorted out with a bit of humour too. What a pleasure.

Credit Card Confusion

My credit card charge was denied. The card is valid and in credit.
It took two days to sort out with the bank. Eventually it was determined that SA Hotels had entered the wrong expiry date.
Just another perfect day in an african paradise.

Dear Spencer Sterling,

Thank you very much for informing us of your feedback. We are terribly sorry that the booking process was not as quick and efficient as normal due to the incorrect expiration date provided to us.

When trying to process the charge, we used the details provided to us via the secure online payment link which differed to the credit card expiration date provided to us telephonically.

It would be our pleasure to assist you again in the future ensuring that the booking process will be completed in a fast manner.

We thank you for your kind understanding as well as for your booking and wish you a pleasant stay.

Best wishes for 2013 to you and your family.

Kind regards,
Ryan Mackie & Team
