How to choose a good hotel in South Africa?

One of the richest countries in Africa, famous for its deposits of gold and precious stones - South Africa is a mixture of primitive exoticism and rational modernity of Western Europe. And all thanks to the tireless British colonizers who discovered this wonderful land two centuries ago.

Holidays in South Africa can not be called budget, but those who can afford it do not regret the money spent. And there is simply no time to pay attention to high prices. The flavor of African culture, mixed with the modern appearance of Cape Town or Port Elizabeth, a unique fauna where penguins live next to lions and crocodiles, the amazing beauty of nature, led by the legendary Cape of Good Hope, the tropics of Limpopo and the Dragon Mountains, beautiful reserves and a permanent safari - South Africa knows how to attract tourists.

The country has accommodation options for all tastes - chic "five", modest 2 and 3-star hotels, as well as colorful bungalows, chalets and campgrounds located right in the national parks and reserves. To easily find the ideal accommodation option for yourself, we recommend that you entrust the hotel booking process to Hotelhunter. With it, you will not only find a suitable hotel based on its location and level, but also be able to compare hotel prices, choosing the most cost-effective option.

Can I book 2 rooms at once?

No, only 1 room can be booked for 1 person. When ordering several rooms, you must specify the data of those people who will live there.

Why are 5 star hotels different in different countries?

Because the procedure for assigning stars to hotels is regulated by the hotel standard, issued back in 1989. Since then, the standard of living has increased greatly and those points of this standard that in the past could be classified as luxury are no longer so today. For this reason, a 5 * hotel can sometimes match the quality of service to hotels with fewer stars. Also, in a number of countries, the Ministry of Tourism can assign the star status based on national standards.

Do I need to leave a deposit with an already paid room?

The requirement to leave a deposit is rare. If the guest plans to live in the apartment, then he may be required to provide a security deposit. Many hotels in South Africa has another practice - the administration "freezes" a certain amount on the guest's credit card, which is returned after the check-out. This is necessary to compensate in the event that the client damaged the furniture or tried to move out without paying for additional services (SPA procedures, dinner at a restaurant, etc.)

What are the types of accommodation and what do they stand for?

Single (SGL) - single room or single accommodation in a double room. Double (DBL) - double room with one double bed. Twin (TWN) - double room with two separate beds. Triple (TRPL) - a room with three fixed beds (3 single beds or 1 double + 1 single bed). DBL + EXB - a double room with one double bed and a third extra bed. Duplex is a two-story room. De luxe is a room with enhanced comfort. Suite is a two-room suite of superior comfort. Junior Suite - a superior room. Senior Suite - a 2-room (bedroom + living room) superior suite. Executive Suite - a suite with two bedrooms. King Suite - 2 bedrooms, living room and meeting room.

Is the accommodation cost indicated for the whole room or for 1 person?

The accommodation cost is indicated for the room as a whole, taking into account the number of people that was indicated during the search. For example, if during the search 3 people were indicated, then its results will display the cost of the whole triple room, if 1 person was indicated, then in the results you will see the price of a single room. Please note that search results do not include additional services (SPA treatments, extra bed, pet, etc.). To order any additional service, it is better to personally contact the hotel and clarify its availability and cost.

Non-refundable tariff - what is it?

A non-refundable rate is a rate in which a room is booked at the lowest price, but a prepayment is required, which is not refundable in case of cancellation.

Documents upon check-in
