"Beautiful place, but poor service."

Beautiful, beautiful place. Tent houses are well laid out and furnished, but many disappointments. Called a month in advance to book game drives. They said you book when you get there. Arrived there and wanted to book, all game drives are full. Bateleur indicates that they have spa facilities. After the disappointment of not being able to go on game drives, we asked if we could use the spa. We were then told that the supplier was late with the spa products so we would not be able to use the spa. On the day of our arrival, we were kindly told to use the pool facilities before 17:00 as they have a family barbecue from 17:00. So, not full access to so called amenities for a paying guest. Communication and service delivery was extremely poor. Every time we had to ask ourselves about activities offered, what time and when. And then in any case the staff made shifts again with times etc. as it suited them. Lunches and dinners are not offered as per their menu/rules. When we asked for lunch, we were told that they don't make just for 2 people. Luckily we pre-paid for breakfast so they were obliged to make it. Following all the above, we checked out of Bateleur a day earlier. So still lost money, but could no longer stand the service delivery. We tried calling the owner, left 3 voicemails, and sent a text to share our condolences. Staff said upon our arrival that the owners were not there. We are currently still awaiting any feedback from the owners. In summary, it's a beautiful place, but it all comes down to service delivery. A guest always goes back to a place that has provided good service and where staff do not hesitate to go the extra mile.
