An absolute must do for any animal lovers or families with kids! We had an amazing experience - African animals roaming around just outside your bedroom, safari tour, infinity pool, animal shows, breakfast with the lions and meerkats, friendly staff - what’s not to love!

This Safari hotel is great for a family for a vacation. We enjoy staying here for four nights. The room is spacious and the bedding is comfortable. Although this hotel is a bit old, it does not bother our family. Our room can see the animals in the distance which we like the most
YUN LOK, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

What a wonderful experience, to sit on your veranda and watch Giraffes, Rhinos and Wildebeests, and feel completely safe. The room was lovely, and easy access to the Safari Park, and all it had to offer, with the cost already built into the cost of the accommodation for most things. Will easily stay there again, and recommend to others.

Lovely outlook from your jungle style room. Friendly staff and beautiful meals from the restaurant with views of the lions and meerkats

10/10 Exceptional

This was one of our favorite places we've ever stayed up. To wake up and see animals out of your balcony wow! We highly recommend staying here. Breakfast was good as well, and they made a lot of cute animal dishes. The only one bad thing we'd say is there were some ants in our room. However there were ants in all the rooms we stayed at in Bali. Please stay here, and book early as rooms can fill up

Poor cleaning condition

Atmosphere around the hotel is excellent but hotel facility and cleaning condition is very poor. Insects and bug issues in the hotel could make the room more comfortable to stay. There were few sticky floor area with ants when we got there.

Best Easter Weekend ever! We booked the family room (Kifaru) for 3 adults with 2 bedrooms/ 2 bathrooms for 2 nights, which included breakfast with the lions and entrance to the safari park. We attended breakfast right when they opened at 7am due to jet lag and everything was fresh with so many options: both western and eastern cuisines, made to order eggs, pancakes one morning and waffles the next morning, juice bar, fruits, salads, and I even met their head chef…he was eager to talk to me when I told him that I’m a personal chef. Coffee is included except specialty items like mimosas, cappuccinos and lattes but reasonably priced Our room was near the spa/pool. Pool was great with a swim up bar and zebras, wildebeests and rhino are right in front of us. We brought carrots they left for us in our room to get them to come closer. Staff is so nice, helpful, and always eager to assist us with anything. We were so lucky to be able to book breakfast with giraffes, which can only be done at check in at an extra cost and only one guest/family can book each morning (weather permitting). We also booked the night safari package with buffet dinner and fire show…loved this experience too! If you love animals definitely book this place! Better than Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge!

その名の通りの動物園ホテル

初めて泊まりましたが総体的には楽しかったです。 お部屋からも常に動物、シマウマ、サイ、バッファロー、キリンがウロウロしてるのが見れます。キリンは夜は見かけなかったかな… 今回は何もわからず情報が少なかったので料金が安かったSWALAでツインのお部屋がいいとリクエストしてましたが運悪く少し奥まった部屋に当たってしまい、エサで置いてあったにんじんが椅子に乗って投げても全く届かない(泣)シマウマか近くで待ってくれてるのにも関わらず何回投げても届ずでした。もし次来るなら2階の部屋にしようと思います。1階でも奥まってなければ届くかもですが野球選手でもない女2人旅の私達は何回投げても手前の川までしか行かずでした。 朝食のレストランも窓際に近い席でライオンは良く見れましたが1番いい窓際席は予約と言われました。予約出来るんやっと。 色々学習します。 14:00チェックインの少し前に着いたので14:00タイガーショー、サファリジャーニー、16:00アニマルショー、16:30エレファントショーとうまく周れました。 ナイトサファリも出発前は思ってましたが、夕食付きRp1,200,000とビックリ価格に今回はなし判断。結果、無料のツアーとショーで十分満足でした。 アニマルフォト、ファイヤーダンスは参加せず、KIBOKOプールは見に行きましたが部屋から見る広場を違う角度から見れるプールだったのでこれもパスしました。 朝食はガラス越しに間近にライオンが居ました。エサやりタイムが00分で始まるのか私達は8時くらいに食べ始め、そろそろ出ようかと思ったタイミングで小さなお肉が掘り投げられてメスライオンが近くで見れました。 朝食もアニマルにアレンジされてたり可愛かったです。 思ってたより、大人も子供も楽しめるホテルだと思います。

儘管住宿的價位偏高影響了CP值，還是很推薦來體驗一下

櫃檯客服態度不親切；房內設備浴室木板破損很危險，水管阻塞；火舞表演拍照，任由客人毫無秩序插隊缺乏管理！ 儘管有些許缺點，能在房間躺著就能近距離地欣賞動物加分不少，早餐有獅子陪吃飯也很特別。

Kul upplevelse, renlighet inte ok

Kul upplevelse att få se och mata flera exotiska djur. Riktigt kul att få se giraffer från balkongen på rummet. Otroligt vänlig och hjälpsam personal. Rummet var dock väldigt smutsigt, inte alls städat med massa fläckar i badrum, damm överallt och hår från tidigare gäster, ganska så oacceptabelt.
