Pros:

Amazing location.
Very clean and cozy accommodation.
Friendly staff.

Cons:

Fireplace sucks all the air out of the room. It definitely warms up the rooms....but, to the point you need top open windows.
Better options to regulate temperature would be great.

Komfortabel schlafen über den Wolken
Pros:

Die Aussicht, die Lage und das Essen waren großartig. Ebenso die komfortable Hütte.

Cons:

Es hat fast länger gedauert auf das Gelände der Lodge zu kommen, als über die Grenze Lesothos. Sie machen es etwas zu spannend mit dem Zugang.

The highest pub in Africa! But also an amazing view, great facilities and fellow travellers.
Pros:

Well, the view! Then the cozy pub, the rooms which felt like true luxury in the middle of rugged nowhere. The buffet dinner and breakfast are excellent. We even got a special dessert made just for us that night (sorry everybody else!). Hot shower water when in the freezing fog is definitely a luxury!

Cons:

Nothing really.

Still the most spectacular view
Pros:

At the top of Sani pass so the view is just spectacular. The whole establishment had been refurbish from an earlier visit about a year ago so it is less rustic and more modern. The bar area still the same and the food still as good as before. Checking in is done online at arrival which works well. A carafe of sherry is a nice touch and so also the fireplace in the room.

Cons:

a bit too many blankets but then, it was really cold.

Sensationell!
Pros:

Außergewöhnliche Lage mit Panorama Blick oben auf dem Lodge Gelände!
Unterkunft war sauber, modern und exklusives Bad mit Dusche! Ebenso war das Essen am Abend hervorragend und das Frühstück auch top und sehr lecker!! Besonders aufmerksam war das Personal und die nette Geste am Abend während des Essens uns die Betten durch Warmflasche wohlig vorzubereiten, da die Temperaturen nachts stark fallen! Auch der Ofen wurde auf unseren Wunsch hin, angemacht! In unserem schonen großen Zimmer erwartete uns sogar
Netter Willkommensgruß in Form eines Likörs, den wir dankbar annahmen , nach unserer abenteuerlichen Auffahrt Über den atemberaubenden steinigen Sani-Pass!!! Ein Muss fur Selbstfahrer-aber nur mit 4x4 Fahrwerk zu passieren!!! Oben angekommen, wird man grandios belohnt!!

Cons:

Nix!! Ein Kurzaufenthalt von 1 Nacht oder ein Tagesbesuch reicht aber aus!
