102 guests' feedbackThe ladies were very friendly and accommodating. They gave me directions to town and made a plan when their WiFi stopped working to still give me internet access.
The two most helpful ladies are there to receive you. The price includes breakfast and is excellent value for money. Everything for overnight accommodation is available.
Very welcoming, would recommend as a convenient overnight stop if entering KNP at the Phalaborwa Gate. Nice, friendly reception and staff.
Will definitely stay here again.
Lalamo Guest House is a very pleasant guest house with spacious rooms and ample parking.
We were received by 2 very friendly ladies who went out of their way to help us. It is a beautiful old house with a lot of potential as a guest house. The garden and premises are very neat. After a long drive from Klerksdorp we were able to relax. Breakfast was nice. After unpacking we were able to have drinks at the bar. Our television wouldn't work that night, but that was out of their control. When we left the next morning we wanted to pay for the drinks, but the ladies wouldn't accept payment as the television wasn't working.
For a single man everything was perfect thank you. It is not for people looking for new modern and white rooms. But everything was clean, comfortable and safe.
The two ladies were very friendly and helpful. It's not luxurious, but certainly well priced.
Neat, clean room with all amenities we needed. Excellent customer service by hostess. Will definitely book here again.
Bathroom light not working. Candles in loadshedding ─ can probably at least give each room a rechargeable light.
Was very nice stay, we enjoyed it.
Lalamo offers a safe, as well as a comfortable accommodation for every traveller!
Lalamo Guest House is not only value for money, but the hospitality is amazing. Olga and her team will make sure you come back again and again. Lovely place. 1 km from Phalaborwa gate.
Maintenance required to rooms. Broken drain cover in shower, TV required tuning and pillow coming loose at the seams. These are raised to draw attention to management. The overall stay experience was great. Very good value and the staff are incredibly friendly.
The lady is friendly and happy to help. She even ironed our clothes which we needed the next day.
Lalamo has a lot of potential but urgently needs maintenance work. It is clean and tidy. Right for one night's sleepover. Manageress is very cute.
DSTV did not work. The room was not up to standard in terms of cleaning. Dust in the sink? Toilet roll holder is broken and lying on the windowsill of the bathroom with a lot of dust on it as well. WiFi signal is extremely weak. They can charge more for accommodation and offer a better breakfast instead. Have experienced much better in guesthouses.
Nice garden but the rooms were really not up to standard. Broken showers, mold on the ceilings, dirty walls. No plugs for bedside lamps. Very friendly staff and we reported the condition of the rooms.
The bathrooms were very dirty, especially the showers. The beds don't fit together at all. The WiFi is not working. There were cockroaches running around. The woman was not helpful.
Wasn't aware of our booking, no water in hot taps, so only cold water. Receptionist unfit. Room not ready.
I asked for extra room at the last minute as friends decided to go together. And the hostess went out of her way to accommodate us.
We were kindly received and taken to our room. There is a carport. The rooms all open onto a veranda which I liked. Both mornings we had different breakfasts in a very nice dining room.
Received us very kindly. Everything clean and tidy. Delicious breakfast. Will recommend to friends and family.
Lovely to stay here overnight. Friendly reception. Value for money.
It was nice and the staff were friendly. Very close to the site was going to do my work.
Warm welcome. Room neat and clean and well equipped. The pool was a salvation during a sweltering hot day (39.5°!). Will stay there again in the future.
As a rule, I sleep over in the guest house when I go to Phalaborwa on business. No complaints.
The accommodation is very well located for the wildlife park. About 2 km from Phalaborwa gate. This is not self-care. The owner provides meals.
The rooms are clean and tidy. The breakfast is tasty. However, there is just insufficient parking.
The travelers rated it 2.5 star because of the overall appearance of the accommodation.
Room was not really clean, and the linen had seen better days.
Comfortable, but not one of our best choices. The establishment is a little tired. Would choose another guest house in Phalaborwa.
Lalamo's owner cannot speak Afrikaans. So they ignore all communications you send them in Afrikaans. Something I didn't know.
Lovely guesthouse with great breakfast served.
We were totally surprised with the big breakfast.

It's always nice to stay here.
We enjoyed the tranquility and were able to cool off in the swimming pool.
Satisfied with everything.
The guest house is already old with old furniture, but people are friendly and very helpful. Place is clean and tidy. You get what you pay for.
Ideal for a rested start to your holiday in the Kruger National Park. The guest house is in a quiet street, everything is clean and tidy and the hostess is friendly and helpful. A plus would be a bigger fridge in the room to keep the fresh produce cold overnight.
Very neat, clean place with a nice surprise - a bottle of wine and snacks. The breakfast included in the price just wasn't so good.
See stars.
Great breakfast. Very clean.
Will definitely recommend it. Relaxing atmosphere. Lovely breakfast. Hostess a very pleasant person.
We enjoyed our 2 night stay. The owner was very friendly and upgraded us to a double room, as we had booked the wrong room. We really appreciated the free bottle of red wine, what a nice gesture!
Will come again.
Excellent stay for a night when going to the Kruger Park.
See rating.
We booked into this tranquil guest house on our way back to Gauteng after five wonderful days in the Kruger Park. We were not disappointed! We were met by the owner of Lala Mo and shown to our rooms which were invitingly cosy and immaculately clean. Gift baskets of tempting goodies awaited us and were most appreciated. The en-suite bathrooms were sparkling clean and in good working order. The rooms are small and compact, quite suitable for an overnight stay. The following morning an amazing breakfast was served in a neat dining room. An excellent way to start the new day and tackle the long journey back to Gauteng. Lala Mo means "Sleep here" and we will not hesitate to make use of this guest house again.
Good reception and very convenient.
Friendly host. It is spacious, clean and tidy. Bed is comfortable and breakfast is excellent.
Friendly reception on arrival.
The room was really neat and clean. It's a bit cramped if you want to sit and relax or watch TV. We just lay on the bed. The cute treat on the bed really makes you feel at home.
Very nice stay. Only the last night and morning there was no hot water. Also very nice stay.
The surroundings and garden are quiet, the staff are very friendly and helpful. The guest house is clean, though not modern and very tasteful. The breakfast is adequate. I'll stay in Lalamo again.
Beautiful place with beautiful gardens. The rooms need attention and were unfortunately dirty. Maybe the complimentary wine was there to distract you from the dirty room. Not at all like the pictures.
Conveniently close to the wildlife park, friendly reception, can recommend it.
Unfortunately, as advertised on the page, the pool is not working at all. It would be nice if we were informed about it.
The rooms need some attention. Service was good. Did not allow for holiday though. So breakfast was much later.
Maintenance on building required. Roof full of milldew. Room was very dark and depressing..

On our way to the KNP we stopped over at the Lalamo Guest House for the night. We arrived late and were pleasantly surprised at the warm and courteous manner we were received. Management could not do enough to please my wife and I and two overseas guests we had with us. A truly heartwarming experience.
Room 1 is very small, can create more space by rearranging the furniture. Other rooms seem to be more spacious. Received a very friendly welcome, the place is very clean and the breakfast was very nice. Good value for money.
We had a very nice stay and it met all our needs. Would definitely recommend the place. Good place to stay before visiting Kruger National Park.
We enjoyed the stay at Lalamo Guest House. We were kindly welcomed and the breakfast the next morning was excellent. The only problem was that the bathroom, especially the shower, needs a good cleaning. The bathroom can also be upgraded. However, we will certainly use Lalamo Guest House again.
We enjoyed this place.
Friendly reception, spacious rooms, beautiful garden and 5 star breakfast.
3 adults in a very comfortable family room, delicious breakfast, very friendly service, nice and close to the Kruger National Park's gate - we will stay at Lalamo again.
There were 2 rooms booked and when I arrived Lalamo was only aware of 1. Luckily my colleague had to cancel and go home otherwise we would have had a big problem!
We were very spoiled upon our arrival. Received kindly and helped with everything they could. The room and bathroom were very neat and clean. With a small baby, we really missed a microwave, but we used the one in the office with permission. We will definitely stay there again.
I enjoyed my stay and I may revisit it.
The room was neat and the service was great. I just struggled a bit because there's no mirror near the plug and I couldn't blow dry my hair. There was a mirror in the bathroom and in the closet, but couldn't reach it with the hairdryer. Except for this, everything was perfect.
Room 4 was very cramped. Everything else was fine. It was only for one night after all. There was a power point for our freezers. Manager very helpful with internet and providing ice. We got snacks and a complimentary bottle of wine too.
Friendly reception and was always willing to help. Clean and tidy and close to the wildlife park.
Great quiet place to rest after a long day of travel.

We were 7 adults and 4 children and it was a lovely weekend. Everyone came and went as they pleased, family members came to say hello and we barbecued by the pool and we pretty much took over the place. The children walked around the beautiful garden and took photos. The staff were so friendly and available all the time if anyone wanted to ask anything and the breakfast was really just as delicious. The children could walk from one room to another without us worrying about their safety. Had a fabulous weekend.
Great service, friendly, stunning, clean and neat rooms. Breakfast was delicious. Highly recommended.
Neat, clean and comfortable with everything you need for a great rest and sleep. Had a very nice breakfast.
We had a friendly reception. The owner/manager is a little nervous but very helpful. Our room with 3 beds was spacious enough and very neat. We were surprised with a bottle of Namaqua Merlot as a welcoming gift. It was very special. We will recommend people to go there.
Such a peaceful place. The rooms are comfy and clean. Wine and sweets on the bed, such a treat. They fixed the little mistake with the number of guests on our booking in 'n jiffy. Helpful owner, helped us with 2 requests (feezer space and early departure), thanks so much!
My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at Lalamo. It’s very safe, neat and the service was excellent. The owner was very friendly and I really feel at home. The breakfast was out of this world. I would recommend it to anyone that needs a neat, comfortable, quite stay. Thanks again!
The lady manager is very professional and takes care of her guests very well. The room was clean and everything was fine. Nice environment and pleasant stay.
Good value for money. Deliciously surprised with snacks and a bottle of wine. Comfortable to sleep over at the Kruger Wildlife Park. Will definitely go again.
Nice B&B. Will use it again in future.
We were in Wildtuin then every day. So breakfast was not an option for us, because we were out too early in the morning. But for sure would have preferred to be able to eat dinner there, or even just a microwave in the room would have worked, to heat up food. But I have to say, we asked on the 2nd night if they would reheat our food and the owner was kind enough to help with that. So we can't complain about service at all. We were generously spoiled with our goodies and bottle of wine on our arrival, which made us feel so special.

We arrived late and were welcomed with open arms. Thank you for a wonderful stay after a long drive.

We looked for a place where we could stay for one night. Lalamo was the best priced and was in the area we wanted to be. Room is neat and practical but a bit cramped. Staff was very friendly and everything was well arranged. Breakfast was delicious. No complaints.
See rating.
We were welcomed very kindly and had a great night there!
We had a nice stay. The guest house is well located for our visit to the Kruger Wildlife Park. The service was very good and we will stay there again.
We left home a bit late and the reception waited for us.
Will definitely go back.
