I have been working with Maliba Lodge for a while now and I have to write this review as I have always received the most exemplary service from Desiree Rampershad. She gives service a whole new meaning. No matter what, she is always available (including on weekends) to help out and will sort out every issue. Our guests just love this place and I encourage everyone to go there, as, for me she makes booking such a pleasure. Thank you Desiree you are a credit to the organisation.

I've been in contact with the Head Office Manager Desiree Rampershad regarding our booking for August 2023. I am completely disgusted by her lack of professionalism, attitude and rudeness on the phone. She provided, she provided us with a booking form with somewhat incorrect details and when I enquired for clarity, she demonstrated absolute rudeness and attitude over the phone. This is suppose to be the Head Office Manager, she lacks clients service and business etiquette. In turn we I cancelled the booking, she's bad for the brand and business!

Response from Maliba Lodge, Marketing at Maliba Mountain Lodge
Responded 28 Jul 2023
Dear Valued Guest, thank you for bringing this to our attention. We're sorry you had a bad experience. We have looked into the matter and have determined that the booking confirmation had all the details as per the booking request. As per the telephone call confirmation the arrival day Breakfast is taken on day of departure. Our system generates the Proforma to reflect the Breakfast as a charge on all accommodation days for Accounting purposes. Reservations Staff aren't able to manually enter info into the invoice or confirmation because it is system generated by codes as a security feature. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused during the booking process and still do hope to host you at Maliba Lodge.

I stayed for 3 nights at the mountain lodge. I had booked an economy room, but decided to upgrade to a chalet when I arrived. The chalet was beautiful, king size bed, two terraces, large bathtub, and most importantly a lovely fireplace. I did a few walks around the park, which were great, as well as a horse ride, which was nice, if not fairly scary at times! I didn't have breakfast, but had 2 lunches and 3 dinners at the restaurant. All the meals I had were excellent, and very good value. Overall I was very happy with my stay.

This is a special place, 45 minutes up a largely paved road into the National Park. Our traditional thatched hut was very private with our own terrace, looking up the valley. Inside, the lodge w3 had a 4-poster bed, a jacuzzi bath with a view ( and a shower too), a TV, tea & coffee making and a mini-bar and a large fireplace for those cold nights (there were radiators too, an even underfloor heating in the bathroom). In the main lodge they serve adequate breakfasts and excellent evening meals as well as coffee all day. The staff here are great too, very friendly and attentive. The whole lodge is really well run, it is easy to forget how remote it is. We took the very interesting tour of the local community and we walked the trails up and down the valley. There is horse riding too.…

Excellent environment to relax. This was our 3d visit to maliba and the management fully recovered from the Covid-19 situation. We had a pleasant Xmas stay. Just making a statement on the allegations of racism by Mamello Mahlomola from the LUCT on her facebook page. We live in Lesotho and have a mixed race marriage. We are proud of that and in Maliba we never felt any signs of racism, separation or preferences because of our race. Service in the lodge is different and you need to make reservations to enter, Quite simple.

Lovely place, fantastic location and service. Food was excellent and the soups are amazing! We stayed at the 3 star river huts, which could use a bit of an update honestly, but it was definitly still great. Real mountain hut meets desert hut vibe.

What a place such beautiful views and friendly local people. It’s a must do if people are ever near these mountains. Fresh air and simply couldn’t get enough. The park has been well taken care of and this shows.

It started with the awful reservation process: no or almost rude answers. The view is superb. The big chalets absolutely gorgeous. Service i friendly but extremely slow. The worst is the restaurant though: slow and nothing original at all. I even doubt if the trout was local wild trout.

The only five star aspects of the hotel are the rooms and the location. All the rest is absolutely far from any five stars parameter. Service is slow and poor, personnel is lazy and restaurant it's absolutely anonymous with not even one single local recipe. Half of the wine list is not available as well as Lesotho local beer. I asked for some jam for breakfast and they didn't have! If you want a good Norwegian salmon, just order the trout, apparently is the same fish for them. TV and telephone of the room don't work, wifi works only at the restaurant, is slow and expires every now and then. Quite scarse service to be a 5 stars.
