Due to the ongoing volatile nature of the South African Rand against all major currencies prices are subject to change due to currency fluctuations. Quotations are based on low season airfare costs and entry level room categories (unless otherwise stated). Prices are therefore subject to change due to specific airline booking classes and room categories not being available at time of booking as well as adjustments to airport taxes and airline levies and surcharges. Quotations do not constitute a booking and no reservations have been made. Standard Booking Terms & Conditions apply. Errors and omissions excepted.
It is essential, when choosing your holiday hotel, that you should know each country has different criteria of awarding star ratings to their hotels. Contrary to popular belief there is no global standard or unified rating system that offers a clear and cut guideline. The Rove Rating is based solely on our personal star rating of each hotel we have visited and inspected.
