If you’re reading this with enough time to CANCEL your reservation, you’re SO LUCKY! ????⌛️????????
We’ve stayed in some incredible hotels and camps in Africa—but this one was both awful AND strange.
Dear owners of this business, we attempted to resolve this professionally but we’re going to have to add Under One Botswana Sky as one of our African properties to AVOID on our website!
As experienced travelers, we’re pretty laid back/used to putting up with a lot, but NO ONE should have to put up with the experience you get at this Chobe Safari Lodge (Under One Botswana Sky). Yikes!
You can end there—or keep reading if you like further details.
We rarely need to bring concerns to management but in this case I actually asked before checkout if there was someone I could chat with professionally about our experience. I’m a pretty smiley person and I like to believe the best, and from one business owner to another I like to give the benefit of the doubt so I sat down with the woman the front desk indicated (Miriam) and first tried to share something positive before sharing our most unfortunate experience, almost hour by hour, at this hotel. (Major room issue and major staff issues, including myself being accosted by one of the male staff the one time I walked somewhere without my husband. THAT needed to be addressed.)
Strangely, soon after she apologized and agreed our experience was absolutely not right…
…my husband went to pay our $600+ bill (for 1 night), and the hotel claimed their credit card machine was down and forced us to pay cash. Okay, but…
…on top of that interesting development, because of this claim they couldn’t take cards, the cash we did have was $8 short of the total…and they made the biggest stink about it—for 30 minutes! We were then half an hour late for our flight (!!!) because the two woman at checkout wanted to stand around arguing about 8 dollars they themselves apparently couldn’t collect.
????
What a way to end a hotel choice we already regretted before the Weirdest-ever Checkout.
