Well where to start it was a disastrous experience!! We travel 6 hours just to find out that our rooms were given away. She didn't even offer to find anything else until i asked her to. Close gate on our car. NEVER AGAIN. So much more to complain.

They SHOULDN'T HAVE ANY STARS

I made a booking via booking.com and mentioned that i will check in between 8-9 pm i arrived at 8:30 nd the owner was very rude when checking in she said it was late and she wanted to sleep, and when upon checking in i said  will have breakfast at 9 am since check out is 10 am but 8:58 she was knocking on my door telling me that i should hurry up as she wants to close the kitchen. The rooms needs a lot of revamp, WIFI was not working, and the breakfast for that morning was a disappointing😔

Unhappy customer at Lalamo

The quality of our room is terrible. Broken floor tiles, dripping tap, broken rail in the bathroom and the light in the bathroom doesn't work, cracked glass on the bedside table. The linen is old and tired. Cherrie on a very sad cake is total zipzero wifi, which sadly was the reason we chose this establishment.  Cannot wait to leave first thing tomorrow morning. Very very disappointed.

Disappointed

Overnight stop on the way to the Kruger Park. Room was spacious but dark and in need of refurbishment....extra lighting, etc. No coat hangers in cupboard, no top sheet on bed just a duvet. Outside area also in need of maintenance, loose, cracked tiles on walkway to room.
Free bottle of wine plus nibbles in the room. Breakfast good & plentiful, served by friendly staff.
Location is convenient for both the town and entry to Kruger.

Needs upgrading!

I stayed at lalamo for a good two nights thut I enjoyed, the wi-fi was on point, the breakfast superb, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. The water was always hot unlike hotels I  wont name in the area.

Lovely place

If your a bit of a twitcher and your looking for somewhere to stay before you go into the Kruger Park, Lalamo guest house is ideal. With a large virety of birds in the grounds we notched up over a dozen species in a day including Bulbul, Glossy Sterling, Hoopoe and their own resident weaver birds. Lalamo guest house is only 1.4k from the airport with colonial feel accommodation ideally situated to enter the Park.

Bird watchers paradise!

Although not specified anywhere, the wine, bottled water and snacks are all complimentary.  The breakfast is excellent and huge.  Olga is managing the reception and payment herself, and no problems anymore. Though, the internet was non-existing with my visit.

Still excellent value for money!

Olga is very friendly and accommodating. Loved the welcoming package. Free Wi-fi is available. There is also a bar run by Olga. Location in relation to Phalaborwa Gate, KNP, is good.
Unfortunately though, Lalamo made me think of Brigitte Bardot. It must have been a beautiful place a couple years back but time hasn't been friendly. There are maintenance issues and everything (fridge/decor/bathroom) seems old and neglected.
Please note that the website is outdated. Lunch and dinner are not available on request anymore. 
So a strange review in the sense that I liked it and at the same time didn't and feel bad in saying so.

Good for 1 night

Beautiful garden and nice neat rooms but very small. The area is bit noisy and the Aircon in my room was just not strong enough for the heat.  Friendly service although upon arrival I discovered that my booking was never made (even though I phoned twice to confirm) but luckily they did have a room for me. They had fish fingers for breakfast which I don’t eat but they went out of their way to make me something else.  WiFi available as well as DSTV which is a great bonus. Will stay here again.
