The waterfront views was great and made it feel like a 4 star hotel.

Very nice hotel located at the banks of chobe river. Nice and friendly staff.

2/10 Poor

We had no electricity in a room and I was calling 4 times and went to reception for maintenance assistance and was late because of it for safari. Also got poisoned on a breakfast with minced ostrich. The staff is not liable at all.

10/10 Exceptional

Loved the pool, the view, the location, the design the staff. The shop was reasonable for prices surprisingly. Food was also good . I enjoyed the buffet for dinner and breakfast - lots of choices. Also loved the poolside menu and cocktails Room service was available - did not try. Upstairs commissioners restaurant was closed as hotel not full.The room was luxurious.only negative :Private boat company in nextdoor plot played loud music one night after it docked as music blared while staff took ages to clean it . This is not the fault of the hotel as sent someone to tell them. Will be back

Inconsistent, but very very charming

Really enjoyed our stay here. It was such a characterful hotel and our room was gorgeous with beautiful views over the Chobe river from the balcony. The game drives and river cruise were really good and a reasonable price. I would say, the service was very up and down, sometimes outstanding, at other times quite cold and disorganised. The same is true of the game drives, one was incredible, the other was quite mediocre. Food too, sometimes was exceptional (like the BBQ at the poolside bar), at other times the buffet was chaotic and poorly managed (like the stir fry nights, where the food was really good, but the queue chaotic and badly thought through). But to be honest, for all of this, this just added to the charm and authenticity of this hotel. At times the inconsistency just made us laugh. For instance, ordering at the bar would take more than 2 hours for food to come; even if it was just a pizza! And one staff member asked us to buy her something from the shop, and seemed genuinely hurt and disappointed when we didn’t get her a gift. I wouldn’t stay here if you want total; polished luxury. But if you want character, authenticity, and a beautiful riverside lodge, I would easily recommend it and I would definitely stay again hence my 5 star review. I really had a soft spot for this hotel for all its eccentricities.

We had an amazing room located close to the river (room 3) The hotel really gave us the relaxing feeling we were looking for. If they could improve one thing, I would suggest to use more dimmed lights.

Das Personal war höflich aber nicht gerade freundlich und hilfsbereit. WIFI das ist horror, einfach nur schrecklich. In jeder günstigen Unterkunft war es massiv besser. Ich musste mehrmals in den Biergarten damit ich Mails schreiben konnte. Unwürdig für eine solch teure Lodge.

Muy descuidado

Falta mantenimiento. La tv no funcionaba, la bañera, la ducha tenía moho, los cristales sucios y de las almohadas ni hablamos. Personal antipático y sin ganas de ayudar. Necesita mantenimiento y una reforma urgente. Hay opciones mucho mejores.

Wonderful family weekend in Kasane.

Really pleased with the refurbishment and the hotel is in great condition now. Rooms were excellent for families with a sofa bed in the living room then main bedroom.Staff were really friendly throughout and game drives/river cruises great value and professionally ran.

施設は素晴らしい

ランドリーを使いましたが、ホテルのミスで下着とTシャツの色落ちがありました。従業員が誤りにきて、料金はいらないとのこと。 仕方ないと思って、了承しました。ところが他のTシャツも色落ちがある。リビングストンへのトランスファーを併設のツアー会社に依頼。55USドルとのことで頼んだが、請求はナミビアドルでしかも100USドルに近い金額。サファリは良かっただけに非常に残念

快適な滞在

部屋には蚊帳があり、夕方には蚊帳を張って貰えます。ただ虫や蚊はほぼいないので、快適に過ごせます。併設のサファリではドライバーはフレンドリーで、多くの動物を見せようと頑張ってくれます。オススメです

Proximity to river and park entrance were definitely a plus. The town of Kasane doesn’t have much to offer outside of these two options
