Le lodge est très impersonnel... beaucoup de ressemblance avec un ancien hôpital. L’accueil est correct et Le personnel est disponible mais cela reste un peu en dessous par rapport à ce que l’on peut trouver ailleurs au Lesotho. La wifi ne fonctionnais pas. La vue est splendide

Oases in the wilderness.

It was like an oases after a long day of bad roads, driving from Sani Pass. The room was perfectly clean and the bed was the best bed on our whole trip. The only thing that needed some attention is the hot water tap at the basin, it is loose. The food was outstanding and the service very good.

So lala...

Die Appartments sind sehr in die Jahre gekommen und teils in schlechtem Zustand (Haustür ließ sich nur mit dem Schlüssel verschließen, ansonsten wäre sie wieder aufgegangen). Zwei Appartments teilen sich ein Bad, wobei die Türen zur Trennung dazwischen einen großen Spalt unten hatte. Dadurch kaum Privat Das Essen im Restaurant und auch das Frühstück waren hervorragend. Die Umgebung ist wahnsinnig schön.

Lesotho Katse Damm Lodge

Die Lodge ist schon sehr in die Kahre gekommen. Das Personal war freundlich und die Lage ist sehr schön, einen direkten Blick auf den Staudamm hat man allerdings nicht. Die Anfahrt ist auch nicht ohne. Von Südafrika aus muss man mit ca. 4 Stunden rechnen. Steile Passstraßen in sehr gutem Zustand. Die Weiterfahrt über die A3 Richtung Maseru ist nur mit einem richtigen Geländewagen zu empfehlen. Selbst mit Allrad SUV haben wir für die ersten 43 Km fast 4 Stunden gebraucht.

Lite slitet men fantastisk utsikt och prisvärt

Ruskigt fint läge men byggnaden börjar ha varit med ett tag. Maten var riktigt bra, trout almondine var det bästa jag ätit på mycket länge och att den dessutom kostade väldigt lite gör inte saken sämre! Väldigt prisvärt boende och resan dit är nästan bara i sig värd priset.

Worst accommodation experience

It was the worst that I have ever experienced. The room was advertised as an en suit room while when we arrived, there was common toilet area. This was not as it was advertised and we needed our privacy.

Better than expeccted

You get a better rate booking online, the hotel has a nice setting and a very good restaurant. Some of the staff is more helpful than others, generally this remote place has a relaxed atmosphere. The fact that there was no electricity from 6 to 6 o'clock cannot be blamed on the Hotel.

Katse Lodge Great but can be better

Katse Lodge is well located and affordable. The staff are excellent and the food is great. The restaurant setting and atmosphere is enjoyable and relaxing and the views from the lodge are breathtaking. The negatives are as follows; the carpet in the suite was old and stained, the DSTV was not paid for, there was no WiFi, there was no fridge or microwave in the room, and the building looked old, outdated and neglected both inside and out. Overall I would rate Katse Lodge 3 out of 5 merely due to the old infrastructure. I would have been willing to pay significantly more money if the rooms were "nicer". The staff and the food more than made up for the shortcomings though. Iam looking forward to visiting again soon.

Charming & comfortable

The building is old and in need of some "TLC", but the rooms are comfortable and warm, with warm water every day, the whole day, despite the heavy snowfall in the area at the time of our visit. The staff was amazing, accommodating and very friendly. If you are looking for 5-star luxury, don't go there, but if you are looking for local hospitality, great views, good food and friendly staff, Katse Lodge is the place for you!

Nice view from the terrace and even from the window of your room. The staff is nice and helpful. The best place to stay in the area. The rooms are clean but lack of personality, the bathroom is quite unappealing, I think this place must have been an hospital before. No real choices of tv channel if it is your thing. Simple breakfast but quality was okay.
