Hippo Hollow was a excellent hotel. Staff was amazing and provided excellent customer service. We stayed 8 nights and after the first day, they knew what drinks we wanted and other preferences. We stayed in a delectable chalet and the room the beautiful, but the view was the best part. We saw elephant and hippos everyday. Wonderful location, 15 min drive to Kruger. Restaurant was delicious.

We were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is beautiful and the room comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was excellent and the service we received was superb. Every member of the staff went out of their way to make matters more pleasant for us. The one lady in the restaurant,Martha, was a star.She quickly noticed that my wife and I were older people (well on our way to our eighties) and she insisted that we remain at our table whilst she dished up for us. She is an asset for the hotel. The security man at the main entrance was also a very helpful and friendly man. We can recommend this establishment to all and everybody. We'll be back

Loved the style and staff service. Even if the hotel is in a more remote area there are few things to do around. The helicopter scenic flights from the hotel is definitely unique service.

Quality 3 star short stay establishment . This is a decent basic hotel. It's good for a 2 or 3 night stay while visiting Kruger Park or the Hazyview area. It's clean, safe and convenient. The rooms/décor are outdated but in good condition. Restaurant is nice with good service and good food and variety. The hippo comes out by the lake 7 -8 pm each night during dinner

when we arrived at Hippo Hollow we got quite a warm welcome only to find out that the reason was that they had over booked and we were the unlucky couple and was told that we had to move to Perry Bridge Hollow. We were told that the reason was a systems error. This is a really bad reflection on your website. I will think twice before using the application to book. I was wondering which friend or family member received my room at Hippo Hollow. What was done was ethically wrong. I am not sure what the rates are and whether we paid extra to stay at Perry Bridge Hollow. I will think twice before I go to any Seasons in Africa Hotel. I wanted to stay at Hippo Hollow not another establishment.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with very friendly, warm staff focussed on providing you with an optimal stay and experience of the area. We had a river view chalet which we highly recommend as you can hear and view the hippos some nights and it is very private and peaceful.

Hotel was good. The rooms were clean and housekeeping was done daily. However, one complaint which I had was that they never replenished drinking water in the rooms. We always had to go and remind them. Another important thing missing was the intercom. If you need service, you need to walk up to the reception. Staff is courteous and helpful.

Stayed at Hippo Hollow while exploring Kruger and the Panoramic Route by car. The room was very comfortable, the location was easy to find and convenient, and the food was surprisingly good at the restaurant, especially the breakfast. The hotel does get large tour buses, and we found some of the tour group customers disruptive a few times during our stay, but that was not the fault of the hotel. There really are hippos on the property! There is also a nice gift shop on the premises.
