The stay at Mantenga is a refreshing experience. Its set out within such scenically beautiful mountains. Property placement is cleverly thought with such an ever present cool breeze. The staff is quite courteous and friendly, ready to assist at any goven moment. The food was amazing, in terms of breakfast and lunch. The buffet breakfast is rated 6/10. Lunch rated 7/10 proper restaurant and fresh organic foold. Overally, i would rate Mantenga 6/10 which is fair for the reason that their room presentation falls a little bit short of expectations. Whereas they’re immaculately clean in terms of bedding & bathrooms with 24hr warm shower water. The downside comes on lack of basic amenities like drinking bottled water for guests though of cause there’s running water in the bathroom. I also found the lack of a refrigerator frustrating for a hotel of that magnitude. The lack of cable or internet TV was another negative as that is something standard in most if not all well to do hotels. The air conditioning units where rather slow in response and difficult to use though they kept the room warm. Bed comfort wasn’t so good or bad either, rated 5/10 in that regard though the linen was extremely clean, no spots even under UV light. The general ambiance of Mantenga is great such that, I would recommend anyone visiting Eswatini to stay. There’s conveniences , close to the mall with all shops and amenities. I would definitely stay with them again on my next visit

I had a wonderful experience. Everything was perfect—the rooms were comfortable, and the atmosphere was peaceful. One of the highlights was enjoying breakfast on the deck, which offered a beautiful view of the trees and mountains. The scenery really stood out and made the mornings extra special. I highly recommend Mantengo Lodge for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature.

We had a very lovely time at the lodge. The restaurant serves excellent dinners. Breakfast could be improved as the scrambled eggs are the only included option and one must pay extra for an omelet or sunny side up eggs. Bring a flashlight for evening return to cabin as it is dark and walkways and stairs are uneven

The restaurant (food and views) is very good. Service is very friendly and nice. Room are spacious and comfortable and similar to the photos. The place is quiet and surrounded by lots of beautiful vegetation. I would stay there again. The only negative side was that I was there for work and from my room there was minimal wifi reception, but from the restaurant it worked fine.

Everything was great until we asked for an ice bucket to keep our water bottles cold. There are no fridge in the rooms. Although they FINALLY gave us an ice bucket, they outright refused multiple times. They told us we could have one glass of ice. Around 10pm, the office staff switched off the internet, phones, etc. and left the premises. The security guards said this was because there was a storm. I was trying to work… Overall, it’s a nice place. The food was good at the restaurant. I found that some of the staff would benefit from external customer service training.
