To be aware of when booking : the family lodges are down by the river, a 15-mn walk (or 5-mn drive) from the restaurant and higher-class lodges further up the mountain. No needs for a 4x4 but a high-ground clearance vehicle will definitely come useful for the last climb to the reception area.

The location is wonderful, deep inside a valley, with stunning views. The hiking trails are well-maintained and excellent. The family lodges have a fully-functioning kitchen, so self-catering is definitely an option (though there are no nearby shops, so plan ahead).

It was not child friendly. Activities included on list were not available.

Nice food, beautiful location

The braai was totally rusted through and being situated on a wooden deck also a safety hazard.

Fantastic location, good access to the main lodge, friendly and helpful staff, the outride was enjoyable, accommodation was superb, comfy beds.

No internet available in the chalet. The lodge with internet is 1km away up the hill. The lodge is starting to look a little tired - the staff say that the owners haven't visited in a long time, and its starting to show - maintenance needed!

Great self catering accommodation, big chalet with 4 bedrooms and plenty of room. Nice kitchen, comfortable beds and great views of the mountains. Easy access to the hiking trails and the river pools.

The chef MUST prepare some local dishes as well. All the food was cooked really well, but there is no point really in having standard issue internation food only, even if those burgers, and wrap and steaks and soups are cooked to a very good standard. Would be much more interesting to at least have the choice to try out likhobe or other basotho dishes.

Two places in one: Maliba lodge offers 5-star rooms up the mountain, and 3-star cottages down by the river. We chose a cottage which was very pretty and spacious. Great option to come with the whole family. Hiking options are fantastic, but trails are rough and steep of course. So better prepare to spend a half day for a few kilometres, but you *WILL* get rewarded by incredible views.

You should provide space heaters for the chalets. Those wall heaters are not very effective. I had to turn on the oven and open the oven door to warm the living room/kitchen area as the wall heater did not heat up the room sufficiently.

I liked the natural beauty of the surrounding mountains.

The stay was excellent BUT in the absence of TV can you at least provide access to wi-fi unlike having to drive all the way to the Reception area and you find it congested because everyone wants to tell friends & families that they've arrived safely. Invest in satellite dishes to cater for your clients.

Enjoyed all the activities which were offered, and the rock pools were a cherry on top. It was spiritually fulfilling for us. The hiking trails were awesome and safe.

There arent any shops near buy. So make sure you have everything you need with you if you do self catering. There is no shop at the hotel to get anything you forget. Closest place would be Butha Buthe and the town itself only has basics.

Beautifu, with a lot to do like ponytrekking, cultural authentic village tours, spa, hikes, beautiful drives. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The accommodation was clean and well equipt.

My goodness, the place is a Gem nested in the mountains. I loved everything about this place. From the guard, to the receptionist to the waiters and the food.... The villa is wayyyy tooo big, beds were comfortable and bonus electric blankets were provided including room heating... Oh - their freshly baked scones are to die for. Definitely coming back for more hikes..

We loved the resort and wish there was availability for more days.

The location was outstanding, peaceful snug between the majestic mountains. Supper was definitely delicious. Staff were amazing actually they were more than amazing. The manager and staff were absolutely helpful, insightful and welcoming.
