Bar servicd and dinner was great, room comfortable but not spotless, gardens unkept, a number of simple issues can be addressed to make this a great stopover for campers and tourists

4/10

The room was inadequately serviced with requisites. The request to combine the twin beds was ignored until late evening The shower taps are not earthed properly and transmitted electric shocks during showering - potentially dangerous

I stayed here twice. I loved seeing the lions nearby. The restaurant is fairly good, but service is very slow. Order dinner 1-2 hours prior to when you want to eat. Rooms are spare with spartan bathrooms. I booked through Expedia and prepaid for lodging. When I checked out, I was charged again for the lodging. Repeated calls were made to the Lodge to get them to acknowledge their error. I asked to have the charges for lodging reversed but they wouldn't do it. I finally had to dispute the credit card charge when I got home. There may be better choices for lodging in the Ghanzi area.

Quelques kms de Ghanzi en empruntant un chemin de 4.8 km. Beaux chalets pas loin d’une piscine, mais pour nous c’est tente à 400 mètres en empruntant un chemin rempli de sable et le 4x4 nous est bien utile…Accueil impersonnel. Belle piscine. Bon wifi. Lit propre et large, mais de la crotte de rat un peu partout ! Super petit-déjeuner. Un peu pénible de devoir prendre la voiture pour aller à la piscine, à la réception ou à la salle de repas, ce qui n'était pas indiqué clairement dans l'annonce pour les tentes.

Wir haben bei einem Gamedrive eine Grube mit Tier-Knochen und Schädel gefunden. Nach einer Recherche im Internet, wurden hier auf dem Gelände der Lodge große Mengen Löwen für Jagtfarmen in Südafrika gezüchtet. Heute sind immer noch 3 Löwen in einem speziellen Gehege. Die gesamte Anlage ist in die Tage gekommen, wir waren auch die einzigen Gäste.

Service at reception, bar, restaurant was excellent from the moment we walked through the door. Tents were clean and functional, just what to expect from tented accommodation.

Der Empfang war ärgerlich. Die Damen konnten meine Buchung nicht finden. Es sei an mir das Problem zu lösen. Bald standen 4 Leute da und haben mir zugeguckt, wie ich ihre Arbeit mache. Die Unterschrift für eine zweite Buchung für 110USD - man könne mich dann schon mal einchecken - habe ich mehrfach verweigert. Letztlich konnte ich per Expedia Chat jemanden finden, der in der Unterkunft anruft und bestätigt, dass ich bereits gezahlt habe. Für 85€ haben wir das unbequemste Bett und schlechteste Frühstück Botswanas bekommen. Lediglich das Restaurantpersonal ist sehr freundlich und aufmerksam. Die Anlage ist skurril. In der Zeit gefangen. Eine Geisterstadt. Irgendwie spannend und traurig gleichzeitig.

In dem Chalet war eine starke Geruchsbelästigung, es hat wie übel riechende Holzschutzfarbe gerochen. Kaum zum Aushalten, für offene Fenster haben Moskitonetze gefehlt. Vom Bad ganz zu schweigen. Im Service nur ungeschultes Personal. Tische zum Frühstück wurden nur nach Aufforderung neu eingedeckt, hierbei war das Tischabwischen schon zu viel. Zuletzt wurde dann beim Eindecken das Besteck nicht am Stiel angefasst, sondern am falschen Ende !!!!!!! Andere Gäste hatten ähnliche Probleme (defekte Lichtschalter usw.), mussten dadurch mehrfach das Zimmer tauschen. Auf Nachfrage bei der Chefin, bekamen sie die Antwort: sie hätten ja die billigste Kategorie gebucht und könnten somit ja nicht mehr erwarten!!! Das geht gar nicht !!! Die Aussage, dass sie seit 2 Jahren die Lodge betreiben und sie Schritt für Schritt renovieren, hilft da auch nicht. Nachdem die Eigentümer/Pächter dann am Abend an der Bar die besten Gäste waren, packen sie das auch in den nächsten 5 Jahren nicht. Diese Lodge kann man in keinster Weise empfehlen.

Hard to find - poor signage. Good facilities and grounds.

Eine nette kleine Lodge zwischen Maun und Windhoek, somit ein idealer Zwischenstopp. Es gibt Chalets in unterschiedlicher Größe, sauber und gepflegt. Der Eigentümer legt selbst Hand an um die Chalets zu renovieren. Sehr familiär, einfach aber gemütlich. Es gibt einen schönen Pool, eine Bar und ein Restaurant. Des Weiteren verfügt die Lodge über ein großes Areal durch das man mit dem eigenen Auto fahren kann (Selbst-Fahrer Game Drive). Wenn man Glück hat, sieht man die 4 Löwen.

It was okay, but not more than that. A bit too expensive for what you get. We have before stayed at the Kalahari Arms Hotel. It was cheaper but a better total experience. We had to ask for towels, bed lamps was not working. Room was small. Pool not clean. Pictures looked better than reality. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Das Personal vor allem die Chefin sind sehr freundlich. Sie erzählte uns das sie die Lodge nach und nach Renovieren, da sie doch sehr mitgenommen ist. Obwohl wir nur eine Nacht da waren, waren wir doch sehr Begeistert. Das Essen ist super und sehr sehr viel.... Jeder Zeit wieder
