Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms were not properly working, especially inconvenient in the scorching summer heat, reaching temperatures of 36+ degrees Celsius, which was unacceptable. On the bright side, the staff was quick to bring additional towels when requested, ensuring prompt service. Guests with mobility issues may find the distance from the car park to the rooms a challenge.
This hotel is a hidden gem in the middle of nowhere, offering outstanding rooms and prompt service. While it lacks a bit in accessibility from the car to the room, it's a wonderful stay overall.
I couldn't believe how amazing this little hotel in the middle of nowhere turned out to be! The rooms were outstanding, especially since they were close to the car park, making it so convenient for my elderly dad. The dining experience was great, with delicious T-bone steaks, plenty of salads, and garlic rolls. However, the location was a bit small and smelly, which was a downside, but overall, a wonderful stay.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms, friendly and helpful service, and a convenient location, perfect for a stopover en route to Maun. However, the small and smelly atmosphere could be improved.
The hotel is conveniently located for a quick stopover with easy accessibility. While the service was friendly and pleasant, the room situation for my elderly dad was challenging due to the distance from the car park. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities were decent.
