Sani Mountain Lodge is high up In the Lesotho mountains and boasts the highest pub in Africa. I stayed two nights in a chalet and the customer service was excellent and very personalized. It was freezing cold on arrival but I found a fire going in my room and a complimentary jug of sherry to warm me up. The views from the pub are to die for and the bar and restaurant very adequate. The fresh trout in particular was very good. The lodge organized a guide to lead me to the highest mountain in Southern Africa.. a grueling 33 km hike to/fro. Despite the isolated location this lodge gives 5 star service.. a must visit for an experience of a lifetime

Not many options for you if you want to stay at Sani Pass, but the management here are very inflexible when it comes to accommodating guests and switching dates. Their rates are obscene, and will not permit a change to your booking after 30-days, so we had to pay extra. Terrible service for any kind of hotel. I would recommend not staying the night here, just come for a visit as a day trip. The road is a fun drive, the views are nice. Just don't waste your money on the accommodation. It's cold and windy at the top. Yurts don't insulate very well.

Hi there Kalina, We are sorry to hear of the series of disappointing experiences you had whilst staying with us. Due to the fact that we are an eco-lodge and our remote location, we provide all energy ourselves and have to import and transport all goods, thus our prices may differ to places that are closer to already existing infrastructure and amenities. We do our best to accommodate our guests' requirements and needs and personalise their stay with us where possible. We always endeavour to provide our guests with remarkable service and should this not have been your experience this is something that will be addressed. Thank you and we appreciate the feedback. Kind regards, The Sani Mnt. Lodge

Please be aware that on site management are not interested in the opinion of guests or their expectations. I discussed matters that was not acceptable, and management just shrugged it off. They are not interested in your needs.

Your feedback was addressed by Management, and it appears that there was a matter that you had discussed with the Manager, and he had explained what the cause of your inconvenience had been, which you had accepted. We are sorry that this was not to your satisfaction and we appreciate your feedback. Kind regards The Sani Mnt. Lodge Team
