Our room required some maintenance. It wasn't bad, but some minor work required.

The food was reaaly good. The location is great. Waking up to the forest birdsong was fantastic. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

The delicious sundowners by the poolside overlooking the lake where you can hear and see hippos is a must. The excursions are also a special treat, canoeing down the canals, the walk through the raffia forest and a cruise on the lakes. The history of the Tonga fishing tribe is an interesting story to hear. We also had our own 4x4 and adventured many routes, flew our drone and snorkeled at Black Rock.

Our room was very dark and I think the trees could have been cut more above the outside shower

Food was amazing! Staff were very friendly and helpful

Stayed here 4 nights and if you want to escape and get away for a few days and immerse yourself in the forest and the lakes then this is the place for you. Exceptional staff, very comfortable 'tented' and secluded accommodation, amazing sunsets, great food with intimate evening meals served in the forest around an open fire, very romantic. Enjoyed the paid boat excursion so much as we did with the included canoe and forest walk. Great guides, full of information.

Some staff, although they seem to try. if you don't understand the language, you can not help. Meal lists are very limited, and that concerns me about returning soon.

Peace and quiet. Setting. Some staff are great.

Hot water was a huge problem at this facility, we got only luke warm water.

It is situated in a forest, I did detox city life reconnect with my spirit, I woke up early before sunrise and listen to birds songs. Good well prepared and different meals. We did visit Kosi mouth. Im now a friend to their friendly stuff.

Kosi Forest Lodge is a magical and beautiful place to stay. The lodge is beautiful and the activities offered are amazing. The staff are all incredible and there wasn’t anything they didn’t do for us. Blessing and Thulani are amazing hosts. The food was outstanding. We were very well looked after. sundowners with Lindalani was a highlight. The hidden gem is Jerome, who took us canoeing, he is a wealth of information and it was simply the best morning we have had! We look forward to returning!

The weather was unfortunately against us on the first day so not able to participate in activities with no guarantee that we would be able to do anything the following day.we were able to go on the boat trip but safety did not seem to be a priority no life jackets provided and the outboard motor did not sound very healthy

Lovely location the tented accommodation was comfortable and exceeded expectations. The food was excellent.pool area lovely and we saw an amazing sunset

The staff were incredibly warm and accommodating. We were made to feel at ease immediately upon our arrival. Our guides were extremely capable and happily shared their knowledge of the local culture and flora and fauna. And the food was incredible! We'd love to return someday soon!

Loved the friendly attentive staff( Thulani,George, Blessing, Jerome and Bongi). Beautiful lodge with a stunning boma. Rooms are well spaced out with beautiful outdoor Shower and Bath to soak under the night Sky. Food absolutely delicious.

I didn’t like the “backyard” feel of the forest rooms.

Well kept.

During our stay we had bad weather and this influenced our experience. However we feel this lodge does not meet the standards for an accommodation at this price point. The 4x4 transfer car has had its best time. Due to the rain in the morning the car and seats were completely soaked. The driver provided us towels to sit on, but this could not prevent our clothes of getting wet. The room did not compare to the photos at all. It is a wooden hut which is poorly finished. The door of the room did not close properly, so bugs could fly in at night. The bedroom is really small and there is no place to sit besides on the bed. Our outdoor bathroom was smaller than expected and the bath was filled with leaves and sand. The indoor bathroom was full of mold and inhabited by large spiders, bats and a little monkey. Every morning the towels and sink were full of bat poop. On the second day we booked a boot tour, but we had to return early to the lodge, because of the weather. When we arrived back at the lodge there was no staff present on site. Our guide had to set the tables himself at the restaurant area, so we could eat our picknick. The only gas heather in the lodge was broken. We ate our lunch in wet clothes in a cold restaurant. We wanted to have our clothes washed and dried, before we left the next day, but because they had to be hand washed, the staff could not guarantee that our clothes would be ready before check out. The included afternoon activities were cancelled and the staff showed no initiative in offering an alternative program. They could have offered a cooking class of winetasting for example to still enjoy our day. We ended up spending the rest of the day in our room under the blankets, because the heater in the restaurant/bar was still broken, so it was too cold to spend the afternoon there. The “free wifi” that is offered only includes a trial of 250 MB. The connection was very unstable.

The location is very unique, the Kosi lake system is nothing we have seen before. The staff is really friendly and the food is wonderful. The beds in the room are comfortable.
