128 guests' feedbackIt was very nice! Giraffes and zebras welcomed us kindly!
The stay was great and we are planning to come back later this year, even though the visit was mainly a school event, but we would come back and explore Bela Bela.
The owner is very kind and the staff were very nice to us, especially McDonald. I will definitely go back there again.
Stunning! So peaceful and quiet. Giraffes and zebra at your door. Everyone was so kind and helpful. Delicious breakfast served to your chalet. The spa was immaculate. I wish I could stay longer.
We had a very nice stay. Rooms were neat and everyone was so helpful. The free breakfast was really very nice. The giraffes and sea bream that walk between the rooms are so beautiful.
Very nice and relaxing. Please expect this once a month.
It was very nice and peaceful, the houses have everything you need and more. The bedding smelled fresh and clean. Everything was very neat.
Jan and team were awesome and made us feel very welcome, like we were at home. Thank you for all the help with directions and anything we needed was catered for! Great place to visit.
Thank you very much for your hospitality. The unit was clean, nice and very safe. I would recommend it anytime and will definitely book with you guys again.
We had a very good experience staying at Buyskop Lodge. The kids loved it, especially the outdoor experience and the swimming pool. Also, being able to watch wildlife animals from the comfort of our rooms was more than a bargain. We loved it and would come back again.
The family and I enjoyed our stay. Peaceful and relaxing.
It was for sure one of the best sleeping places I have visited in a long time.
Very nice and peaceful atmosphere.
Stay was great, 100%.
Quiet and safe in nature!
Definitely what my soul needed. Everything very neat and clean. Security that walks in the night and makes sure everything is okay. Owner is friendly and accommodating. Didn't expect the zebras and giraffes in the morning. Absolutely stunning.
Early morning already greeted by giraffe and zebra. Peaceful forest feeling with silence and a nice place to visit.
Great stay!
It was absolutely stunning, I did not expect to wake up to zebra and giraffe surrounding us in the morning. The owners were accommodating and staff friendly. Definitely recommend.
This is a very peaceful lodge. The safety is excellent. There is security that runs at night and makes sure everything is safe.
Thank you. I will definitely come and recommend to others.
It was pleasant and lovely. I enjoyed it, and my partner has suggested it for their annual AGM, and I will bring kids.
Greeted by a friendly Lukas who showed us the chalet. Nice quiet environment, ideal to escape the city's hustle and bustle. We were lucky to be able to see the newcomer (Giraffe) and his mum. Nice private braai area at your chalet. There is also a swimming pool for the hot summer months. Thank you very much for the delicious breakfast. Was surprised with the detail of the breakfast - even a toothpick, dropped off at our front door. Will recommend your place for sure.
Very nice stay. Terribly hospitable.
Was nice, thank you.
Wonderfully quiet and peaceful. Animals like this between the chalets (n) nice pampering. Chalets well equipped, just need a washing and drying cloth in the kitchen. Staff all very friendly and helpful.
Very very neat and clean, value for money.
It was good. The problem is that they don't want music at all times.
Beautiful and neat place, and totally enjoyed our stay there!
It was exactly what we needed, peace and quiet. Waking up to see zebras next to our house was the cherry on top.
Yes, just let people know about waiting that knocks at 9 o'clock in the evening to turn on lights.
It was great, especially waking up with nature.
Was perfect, except for a group that ignored the rules and made noise and left alcohol bottles by the pool.
Stay was nice, clean and quiet, fully furnished chalets, just bring own groceries including coffee and sugar.
My stay was exciting.
Very neat and friendly staff. Grounds and pools well maintained.
It was very nice. We really enjoyed it. The visit was just too short!
It was very nice and I would recommend it.
Was kindly received, clean and tidy. Can recommend breakfast we received. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice and quiet. Would recommend staying at Buyskop Lodge and Spa. Will book the spa next time.
The location was fantastic. Waking up to see zebras and giraffes on your doorstep was really nice. The pool was clean. However, the rooms and the inside of the place could do with some upgrades. The couches, beds, and pots really need updates, but overall, loved the place.
Very nice stay. Quiet and enjoyed the animals around the houses very much. Cool off in the clean sea bath.
Great, but the food at the spa wasn't nice.
We had a real tranquil time, I wouldn't go back though or recommend to my friends. There's only one-way gravel road, and if there's an oncoming car in an awkward area where you can't even get to the side for another to pass, I don't know what happens. The gravel needs attention, especially from the main road. It makes the car rattle a lot.
Very good I must say, is the place I can recommend to my friends.
The stay at Buyskop Lodge, Conference and Spa was perfectly adequate, although not earth-shattering. The wildlife that roams nearby, the beauty of the Bushveld and the variety of bird species are wonderful. The chalets were clean and have everything you need. The cleaners, reception and security staff are friendly and helpful. However, the lodge generally feels neglected. Some of the furniture was broken and fixed by myself. The pool and play areas appear unkempt and (shabby). The strict rules around noise are good, but you can still hear music and traffic.
Chalet was comfortable and clean, but there were no dish towels in the kitchen. There were also no towels or extra blankets. It wasn't until much later that I noticed in a WhatsApp message that they mention it - I think it could be made clearer in the discussion or in the ad. There was also no bath mat for the cold tiles, so I had to go to extra expense and buy one. The shower head was also clogged and I struggled with a thin stream of shower water. There were no bedside lamps, and the sofas in the sitting area were torn and very uncomfortable. There wasn't a bucket of ice in the freezer either. I saw few animals and did not get clear trail recommendations for walking in the field. Not everyone does the SPA thing. The switch where the kettle and grill were plugged in was very loose, and I awkwardly got the kettle to boil - at least it worked.
- The experience upon arrival was lovely. The pool area didn't seem maintained. WiFi was good. Hardly any personnel to assist.
We will definitely book into Buyskop Lodge, Conference and Spa again.
Our employees had a positive experience with their accommodation, finding it safe, clean, and conveniently located for work. We intend to book with the same place again for future business trips. It speaks volumes about their satisfaction. Thank you.
See stars.
Quiet and clean, relaxed.
We loved the venue and the animals.
It is the best place for a holiday. I really enjoyed my stay.
We went to rest and really rested. Couldn't have picked a better place. We will definitely go again. Maybe just a little bigger roof fan, it was terribly hot. The massages were also fantastic. Thank you very much for your hospitality.
Value for money, a real pleasure.
Beds can be upgraded, but overall experience was divine thank you. Enjoyed Buyskop Lodge.
The accommodation was very clean and the welcome was excellent. All staff were helpful. We really enjoyed ourselves.
The place is really relaxing and welcoming. The spa is wonderful and we intend to go back for festival. Wonderful staff and clean establishment. I wish to recommend anyone to visit. We enjoyed our 4 nights with no regrets. The place is close to lots of activities and places to visit with family and enjoy.
Good communication, easy to find place. Accommodation well furnished, all facilities were neat and clean.
Put blinds or curtains for privacy on the door.
Very neat and clean chalets. Calm atmosphere, sure we will contact them again.
Very neat and clean chalets. Giraffes and zebras graze nearby. Was the perfect getaway for us.
From the reception at the gate, Virginia at the chalet and friendly zebras on site it was a wonderful experience. Excellent stay.
We had an overnight stay, our overall experience was great. The bushveld environment was relaxing, the chalet and outside areas were neat, clean, and spacious. In the short stay we saw many wild animals like zebra, giraffe, antelope etc. We received proper communication and information from the owner. Thank you.
Quiet and very peaceful. Lots of privacy. Nice hiking trail.
Good for friends, family and couples. Waking up to see zebras and giraffes. I would like to suggest maybe having some solar panels just for lights during loadshedding. I know it was communicated, however, just for lights it would help. The owners were really good at sending and updating us on loadshedding schedules.
Had a great time.
Quiet place to bond️.
Thank you very much, have a great time. Very quiet and excellent service. Will visit again.
It is a peaceful atmosphere. One gets peace of mind. There is just no place for a firearm, e.g. safe, because I don't believe people travel without one anymore.
Everyone was very friendly and helpful from arrival to finish. The chalet was fully equipped and very neat and clean. The sea bream on our front porch was wonderful. We will definitely return again.
It's worth every little penny if you ask me.
The only thing I can complain about was the beds. They were so hard and uncomfortable, but other than that our stay was wonderful.
There was only one big disappointment, my main reason that Buyskop caught my eye was the fact that on the website it says the animals come to drink at the water hole between the chalets. The waterhole is as dry as a plastic doll's ear. Also just mention that the chalets could do with air conditioning. In the summer as hot as hell with the little roof fans. Staff are friendly, as is Jan the owner. Had a great time. So quiet and peaceful. No loud music or people misbehaving. Love that rule of the lodge. Not for people looking for all kinds of things to do. But perfect if you're just looking for peace and quiet. Will definitely stay there again.
We had a great stay, our chalet was equipped with everything we needed. Just know it's very hot in the summer!
The place is absolutely top-notch for relaxing.
Myself and mom went cycling at Sondela Reserve and Buyskop assisted us with a one-night stay. Place was nice and had a good rest.
The place was tranquil, I just wish they had backup power. Besides that, I'd definitely recommend it.
We had a great time, it was nice and quiet and the staff was very friendly. Breakfast was delicious and they were very accommodating.
My child wants us to go back. The breakfast actually is everything, thank you guys.
One complaint: There is not one comfortable chair in the unit. The couches are hard and low, the bar stools too high and hopelessly uncomfortable and the picnic benches on the porch are no older person's friend! If only there could be one or two armchairs.
The children enjoyed seeing animals up close, the pool area was just as it was in the pictures. We had a perfect weekend getaway.
The manner of his approach is totally inappropriate! The place is user friendly and very clean.
We really enjoyed our stay at Buyskop Lodge! Unfortunately we only stayed one night, and we really regretted not being able to stay longer. The chalets are well equipped, the surroundings are peaceful and it was an experience for us and our children to see and experience the giraffes and zebras between the chalets! We had to leave early the next morning and they very kindly helped us to get out. Thank you very much for the wonderful evening with you!
Enjoyed my stay and delicious breakfast.
The place is open and nice and not far from Forever Resort and Waterberg Zipline, which I was interested in.
It was very good and peaceful, except for the fact that we never saw any service providers throughout our stay, not even to take out the dustbins and refill the toilet paper.
The inability to play music even during the day in your car is a turn off.
We had a great stay at Buyskop Lodge, Conference and Spa. The sofa beds are uncomfortable to sleep on, but that's what you expect from a sofa bed. Furthermore, the whole unit was very tidy and decently cleaned every day. The security was very good and asked us to move our car and turn on the outside lights so they could see what was going on around us. The fact that you have to bring your own towels caught our guests a bit off guard, and I believe this can only be provided for the price you pay. To sum up, we had a nice stay and got what one expects for the price.
Loved the animals and the spa was amazing. The food, was great as well. The sleeper couch was not so comfortable at all.
Everything that was needed inside in unit. Clean and tidy.
We didn't realize we needed to ask for a non-smoking unit. The smell was not pleasant to live with. You could smell that they tried to eliminate the smoke smell, but we know that there is nothing that can take a smoke smell out completely - the combination of what the efforts were made with and the smoke smell only makes it smell worse.
Definitive for the nature lover, the environment is pristine, with so much wildlife around the camp, the staff were friendly and helpful.
We were expecting a very busy resort as we booked at Buyskop over a long weekend. To our surprise it was very quiet and peaceful. I would definitely recommend Buyskop if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We did have problems with ants and Buyskop might be able to take care of that. There is also no way to view wildlife other than driving in and out from the entrance.
Uncomfortable furniture, couch dysfunctional. Fridge not on when we arrived and no lockable bathroom door!? If warm and could spend every waking moment outdoors, great place but its chalet simply not up to spec.
First we had to clean the unit and get rid of all the fish moths. Previous guests' candy wrappers were still lying next to the cupboard.
It was very nice and very peaceful. The animals were also very beautiful to watch as we drove through. Grills next to the boma area would have been nice.
Everything very neat and clean.
We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen has everything and more. The roads around the reserve are not for small low cars, they would be best done in a 4x4. but the drive throughout the reserve was awesome seeing the beautiful animals that they have.
Will recommend to friends. It's beautiful, clean and peaceful.
Arrived at the gate a bit early, phoned Jan, he opened the gate and advised me in which chalet I stay. Had a great drive to the chalet seeing a few giraffes and zebras. On arrival the chalet was clean and I could immediately feel my soul sinking into the quietness of nature. It was great, unfortunately, my wife and I only stayed one night, but it was amazing. Definitely a place I would recommend to anyone that needs a break from the busy city life.
It is quiet in nature with the goats visible. Very neat and comfortable unit.
The units basically have everything one would need to make their stay comfortable. Staff was friendly and very helpful.
The place is amazing, beautiful and clean. I will definitely be going back soon. I have also shared with my friends and family. I love seeing animals and going through to the bushes. I really had a great stay. The chalets are so beautiful and the set up amazing.
Very tidy with nice braai facilities and safe.
Tranquil is what we experienced, we are definitely going to be back.
The sofa bed in Chalet 9 is broken and needs to be replaced.
Communication from the lodge is great. Neat place, just think the shower curtains should be replaced with a glass door, only thing that doesn't belong with the rest of the place.
The staff is absolutely amazing, the service was excellent. They were always there when I needed them. A special thank you to Jan and Theresa.
We enjoyed our stay at Buyskop Lodge, most important it was the safety of the place. And the customer service was top notch.
I enjoyed myself with my wife.
The sink in the kitchen was very smelly, as was the trash in the closet. So it had unpleasant smell in unit which was not nice. And it was put down.
The accommodation and location is perfect but the Term & Conditions of the lodge are overwhelming. As visitors we cant be expected to be mute even on a swimming pool. Some Terms and conditions are only made available to you after you have paid full amount. The security monitoring is annoying. Having no plan B for lights during load shedding its a no no. There were no checkup on the wellbeing of our stay, only security coming to decrease our volume as we speak on our own chalet.
We have never experienced the service we received from Jan. I can recommend the place to anyone. Thank you Jan for you and your team's incredible service!
Had a superb time at Buyskop Lodge with my husband for our 3 year anniversary. Theresa did a fantastic job with arranging everything on special requests.
Buyskop surprised us with friendly service and very neat chalets. We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and appreciated the break in the forest. We will definitely visit Buyskop Lodge again.
The units really have everything you need and are beautifully maintained. Great service and very well maintained units, clean and tidy and very friendly staff. I would recommend Buyskop Lodge to anyone.
Beautiful, fully equipped and excellent!
Ons het by Buyskop Lodge gebly sodat ons die Bela Bela 5150 kon bywoon. Die huis was mooi skoon en netjies. Ons gasheer was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Kommunikasie met die gasheer was ook puik en duidelik. Ons het ons tydjie daar baie geniet en sal dit aanbeveel vir ander mense wat naby die 5051 gebeurtenis wil bly.
A peaceful and relaxing stay at Buyskop Lodge. The unit was well equipped with all the necessary amenities. Would have liked to see more of the game life, but only got to see them on arrival and a few glimpses of giraffe while going out to town. But overall a lovely stay and will definitely make an effort to return.
Ishmael was very helpful and she has all the info about the venue. Jan the owner is a kind gentleman. The chalets are very clean. No noise whatsoever. I will definitely come back and refer friends and family. Well done guys.
It is a nice place to be especially when travelling with kids. It's so peaceful and safe, but chalets needs an air conditioner, curtains for the main door and wind draft guard to keep dirt and dust out of the house.
No carpets on the floor, there was a squirrel in our chalet, my kids were so scared we stayed up all night.
A perfect place to reconnect.
Buyskop lodge was amazing. Their self catering chalets are very equipped, and the stuff is very friendly and efficient. The host Jan was very accommodating and kept us informed through out the weekend. Covid19 regulations were followed the chalets were clean. The breakfast provided was delicious and more than enough. We really enjoyed our stay.
The unit is well equipped, clean and stylish. Was well received by Anna where she made us very welcomed. We made used of the spa facilities for a full body massage and enjoyed thoroughly. We will be back again.
It was our second time at the lodge. Enjoyed the walks. Would be nice though if guests could be monitored. There was lot of noise from surrounding chalets and people were drinking and shouting at the pool area. Enjoyed our time and enjoyed our refreshing massages at the spa. Thumbs up ladies. Our disappointment was the day we left. We felt chased out by the service ladies. They didn't even know we were checking out, but the moment we told them it's our last day they waited to clean by the door. My husband was upset and asked them if they will wait the whole 1 hour. It was only 9 am and check out is at 10. That was really rude on their part. Other than that, we will go back as a group of friends again.
