撒尼山旅館(Sani Mountain Lodge)

Ездили мы отдыхать с семьей в данный отель, нам все понравилось, море близко, уютные номера, убираются каждый день, есть анимация для детей, есть горки 🛝. Прекрасна анимация, утром на пляже, днем на бассейне, вечером разные шоу, в общем очень весело, скучать не дают.

Trovare in un luogo così isolato un lodge così ben tenuto, pulito con i Rondevel ordinati, caldi grazie alla stufa a legna che viene accesa quando si va a cena, il tutto sulla cima del passo sul quale si gode di una vista unica , è davvero una bella sorpresa. Ottimo ristorante e personale gentile e disponibile.

Un séjour inoubliable au sommet du Sani Pass. Une équipe très accueillante et chaleureuse, des rencontres magnifiques et un repas du soir excellent (475 R/pers. Prix un peu élevé mais qui se justifie de par l'éloignement du lieu). Chambre backpackers simple mais efficace. Les espaces partagés sont bien aménagés et un feu de cheminée nous a été allumé dans le salon alors sue nous étions seuls.

Important to know: I stayed in the Sani Top Backpacker. During the day this place is full of people, but when all the day tourists leave it is beautiful up there. Easy to explore. I had the backpacker's for myself which was nice. The kitchen is well equipped. The only issue there was were frozen pipes and therefore no running water. But there was a filled water tank which was enough for myself. My room was small but the bed was comfy and warm; so enough for me. The staff was really nice and helpful. They helped me to figure out my route the next day as I was travelling independently and without a car through Lesotho. My evening I spend in the pub with guests from the lodge. We gathered around the fire and had a good night.

A nightmare!!!! Inaccurate directions and poor communication led to us missing our reservation, and having to hitchhike up a mountain because there was no taxi service at the border as they said multiple times there would be. They agreed to give a refund, but have been running Me around the ringer since. 8 months later and still no refund.

Where to start.... they gave us wrong information how to get up there. We ended up missing the reservation because they told us we could just park at the border and take a taxi from there. Now I've spent 5 months trying to get our money back for their mistake, and they continue to ask for my BANK ACCOUNT AND ROUTING NUMBER instead of refunding to my card, and say that they are unsure why I'm uncomfortable providing this information via text

On arrival we had to complete forms for each person before being taken to our rondavel. We had booked Double rooms and two rooms were Twins so staff had to come in and remake the beds. Bar was warm and festive. Dinner was for 7pm and we eventually sat down just before 8pm. Food was good, chicken soup was very good. Salads - to me was unnecessary on an ice cold night, but others enjoyed it. The roast and veggies were lovely, sadly the pork chops were dried out but i think the problem was the bain-marie was far too hot. Breakfast was average - once again the bain-marie was too hot. Staff were friendly; For the price we paid we definitely expected a better experience, thankfully the views made up for everything else.

Wonderful experience. Gracious people. Good food and drink. Warm and cozy rooms. Just a great place to stay for a night or two. Wood burning stove id a great job of heating the room. Hot water, and I mean hot, tubs added to bed by staff. Highly recommend.

Growing up in the area meant frequent trips up the Pass. However, this time was a little different. Surprise #1: On arrival at the entrance, you are slapped with a R50 per person entrance fee. Surprise #2: It is not deductible off your food bill. So immediately you need to R50 to whatever you’re ordering. I totally understand the probable reasoning behind this entrance fee, but it would be reasonable to assume that if one chose to eat a meal etc and not just abuse the toilet facilities, that this would be deducted off your bill. In the 20+ years of going up the Pass and to the Lodge, this was a first in terms of entrance fees. Surprise #3: Food is expensive and below average. Hot drinks aren’t hot (and yes I understand the physics of boiling points at altitude etc etc). Surprise #4: The bill. Average breakfast plus the now R50 pp gate entrance and you’re looking at some serious notes. So for a family of four, R1000 won’t leave you with much change! I think they’ve fallen well into the trap of tourism. Covid dealt everyone a blow, but making up for it through expensive food and drink is offsides. Visitors are better off packing a picnic, driving a little further and enjoying the views elsewhere (for free).
