Great location & nice hiking trails, but a bit austere for the price. Rooms are dark and ours had no hot water and a couple of wolf spiders we could really have done without!

The Perfert Desert Retreat
The perfect desert adventure!! A truly unique location and lodge built into the side of a rocky hill, and designed with domed ceilings and rocks. The owners live at the lodge, and they were incredibly hospitable, informative, intellignt, interesting, attentive, and all around fun!! The staff was equally fantastic. The pool is one of the best I've used during my month-long travels in Namabia. The scenary stunning, and the hiking options were perfect: from an easy hour to more challenging longer hikes, all from the lodge. Zebras roam close by, and there is a flock of resident guinea fowl, along with the other beatiful birds, and the resident three house cats. I highly recommend this lodge and hope to visit again!!

This property is in the "middle of nowhere", which also means beautiful scenery all around. The place is great to relax and offers some nice little hikes on the property. The owners are on site and really care of the welfare of their guests. We enjoyed our relaxing stay, the great pool, the good food and the wonderful cabin. We do recommend the larger ones.

A very special desert experience, we are very happy we chose to stay here. Compliments to the owners and staff team for their vision and welcome. If there could be a more powerful way to cool down the rooms in the evening, if the desert breeze dies down, that would be ideal.

A lovely relaxing stopping of point between Sossusvlei and Swakopmund. The accommodation is quite different from the other lodges we have stayed in, but made of local materials and blended in well with the scenery. We sat for hours on the covered patio of our room watching the activity at the nearby waterhole. The pool area was well designed and a great place to relax.

Wish for better WiFi
It has the best view for sunset. However only if there is WiFi in the room too. WiFi at lobby is kind weak as well. No LTE no 3G at at lodge.

Recommend this place
Very well run Lodge. We stayed in one of the suites, it was a bit pricey, but what an experience. The views and environment were amazing. A highlight from our holiday. We had one mosquito, and no more. Not any problem. Restaurant was very good, with a very friendly atmosphere. We made a day trip to Sossusvlei which was easy. Put your polarised shades on and the dunes were still red at 1100.

Welcome site in the middle of nowhere
Once you turn off the main road Which is a dirt road you travel for quite a distance to the lodge. Just when you think you are on the wrong road it appears out of the sand. Stay was wonderful, room spacious, staff super friendly, meals to die for. Would recommend this to anyone going to Swakopmund from Sossusvlei area.

Awesome setting, nice hiking trails, wonderful view from the room patio and from the pool. The staff was amazing, kind, helpful, very good service. Good and drinks at the lodge restaurant was great (good choice and delicious). We would stay there any time. The only problem was the shower pressure. Maybe it was just our room or because the hotel is eco friendly, but it was like a faint jet of water falling from the head shower. It was still possible to shower, but it was difficult to since the soap away.

Eine ganz tolle Zeit
Ein Highlight, Gastgeber wie auch Personal. Die Lage ist schon ausgesprochen schön, doch übertroffen wird es noch dadurch, dass man sie auf unkomplizierte Weise dank Einrichtung von Wanderwegen noch viel mehr erfahren kann. Nachmittags bei leckerem Drink mit Pool zum Abend übergehen mit tollem Essen mit a la carte rundet den Tag perfekt ab. Wer gerne wandert, sollte unbedingt wenigstens 2 Nächte bleiben; uns waren 3 noch zu wenig. Vielen Dank für den wunderschönen Aufenthalt.

Não é 4 estrelas
Pousada familiar alemã, com boa comida (cara) no meio do deserto. Linda vista com órix passando ao fundo. A piscina também é excelente. Pena que o quarto seja muito rústico, lunar. Ducha básica. Não tem nenhum luxo no quarto. E sem ar-condicionado. Não é 4 estrelas.

10/10 Exceptional

Die Lodge Rostock Ritz ist in der Tat etwas ganz außergewöhnliches. Sie liegt mitten in der Namib-Wüste an einem kleinen Berghang gelegen. Die Chalets sehen aus, als wenn sie aus einem Starwars-Film entsprungen wären. Auch Rezeption und Restaurant sind in diesem Stil gehalten. Der Pool gilt als der schönste in Namibia. Vom Pool schaut man in die Weite der Wüste. Vor uns tummelten sich 3 Zebras und eine Gruppe Strauße. Man fragt sich was diese Tiere in der Wüste noch an Futter finden. Der Sundowner auf der Terasse vom Restaurant und das Abendessen waren echt super. Die Besitzer waren auch sehr bemüht uns den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten. Die Chalets an sich sind schon ein wenig eng, insbesondere für große Personen. Aber es war absolut ausreichend. Man muss nur vor dem Abendessen alle Fenster öffnen und für Durchzug sorgen, ansonsten wird es eine heiße Nacht.
