How Rhino Africa Rate Hotels and Lodges

 
With so many different ways of grading hotels it is difficult to know what you are getting and what to expect. Our Rhino Rating has been introduced to give you an 'on the ground' perspective. We make a point of personally visiting and evaluating the establishments we feature on the website.


 

We are very discerning with our Five Star Rhino Ratings and therefore only a few properties are given five Rhinos. When you stay at one of these properties you can expect the very finest in accommodation, food, service and experience. Award winning and often featured within the pages of Conde Naste Traveller and Harpers and Queens, these properties are destinations within their own right and often require booking well in advance.

 

In most circumstances a Four Rhino Property is a five star hotel or lodge. Exceptionally well run and managed, these properties usually give the five rhino properties a good run for their money and keep everyone on their toes! Expect luxurious accommodation, excellent hosts, and warm welcomes. At Rhino Africa we believe that experience is everything and at Four Rhino properties this is no exception.

Stay at a Three Rhino hotel or lodge and you can expect great value for money. Comfortable and affordable these properties are amongst our most popular accommodation. With excellent locations throughout Africa, the rooms are well decorated and provide 'sensible' accommodation choices for tourists. Staying at a Three Rhino property is certainly no lesser an experience and some of our favourite hotels and lodges are graded as such.

We're quick to point out that simply because a hotel or lodge is rated Two Rhino, that is does not mean that it is a 2 star property! Staying at one of these establishments you can expect simple accommodation and five star service! They are often located in remote areas, enabling you to experience Africa at its finest - warm welcomes, basic rooms, honest good home cooking and service.

If you have a sense of adventure then a One Rhino establishment is definitely for you. Often assigned to simple tented accommodation and basic guesthouses, a One Rhino rating is the simplest form of accommodation that we feature. Often the accommodation is the only establishment in the area, and staying at one of these properties is the only way of exploring the more remote parts of Africa.
