"Picturesque"
The Eagle's Nest restaurant at which we had the pleasure of dining was a spectacular setting on the cliff." See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia
"Great views, rock formations"
Location a good way to shorten drive to Etosha the next day.
Left an item in the room and staff worked hard to try and return it to me while we were still in Namibia." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"Views like Monument Valley, good hotel"
The rooms were well furnished except that they were too small for the furniture that were put in. The main problem was it gets too hot at night (being built on a rock) and the ceiling fan had little effect being mounted too high and filtered by the mosquito net over the bed. They really need a pedestal fan.
Meals were buffets which had a good range and was well cooked, except half of dishes for dinner were spicy. They took no notice of any special meals requests, even for low fat milk." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 4n in Zimbabwe; 1n in South Africa

"Vingerklip Lodge review"
Lovely private luxurious chalets, beautifully decorated inside - pity we only had one day. The (2) swimming pools are stunning, as are the views basically from everywhere.
The Eagle's Nest up the mountain is a must for a sundowner and preferably for dinner too, with glorious 360' views, all in all very romantic. Book ahead 'cause there's only a few tables." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
"Vingerklip Lodge"
Nice rooms, but we first had no water in the shower. They fixed this in the evening, but there was no hot water until they fixed it just before we checked out the next morning. The safe did not work.
The staff often seemed bored with their jobs." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 1n in South Africa

"Vingerklip Lodge review"
Rooms were good, pool nice but the rock formation not worth more that a couple of hours. We did make reservations at the Eagle's Nest. The walk up and view from the top is wonderful but dinner at the restaurant pretty terrible. It's all cooked below and shipped up to steam tables. A better decision would have been to walk up for the sunset and have dinner in the restaurant below.
Really, we didn't think that it warranted an overnight." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
"Vingerklip Lodge review"
Small rooms but great view.
Swimmingpools not very well maintained. Parts of the facilities were closed.
Eagles Nest Restaurant was nice - great views and simple but very tasty food.
Restaurant on site was poor and the service non existent!
One night would have been more than enough.
Safe had no battery and despite our many complaints not repaired in three days." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
