"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
"Vinger klip Ugh"
Filthy dirty, disinterested staff, insecure rooms. facilities in the rooms did not work.
Poor water supply, no plugs in the basins, fan did not work. Dining room disgusting. table mats had last week's inground food in them, table cloth stained and smelly.
NEVER AGAIN !!!!!! food was nothing to write home about. UGH !!!!!" See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
"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
