I would love to know the basis on which they decide how to categorise a lodge. Just looking randomly at some ratings, Kirawira in the Serengeti gets a mere "good" - I thought it deserved much more than that. Singita Ebony is "excellent" while Notten's is "superb". Now much as I love dear little Notten's even I am amazed at those relative ratings. Similarly Tshukudu in Pilanesberg is "very good" while the Sun City Cabanas is "excellent"!! That is just ludicrous.
Ya, compleat kak. We're supposed to believe that this site ranking thousands of lodgings in SA is reliable?
