"First Stop Galton House"
1 night Arrived 22 May 2023
"Three couples. Stayed just one night in Windhoek before taking off for Sesriem.
The manager was worried about us and called the Wilderness Safaris person at the airport to make sure we had arrived. Just took forever getting the car rentals and MTC cards. But, very sweet of her to check on us.
The rooms are a nice size with a large restroom, hot shower. Excellent breakfast with made to order eggs, toast, sausage, bacon, etc. They accommodate our early breakfast and departure, as we wanted to get on the road not knowing exactly how long the drive would take.
Gated and secure parking area. Nice neighborhood of more upscale homes. There are some random dogs barking at night. But, other than that, very quiet area.
Honor system with the beer and wine in the kitchen, which is nice, so you don't have to find anyone to assist you. Just grab a beer and write it down.
Had we stayed more than one night we would have stayed in for dinner, but had to do the obligatory trip to Joe's Beerhouse. The kitchen smelled really good.
Friendly and attentive staff. Would definitely stay here again." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Galton House review"
1 night Arrived 4 Feb 2023
"We were the only guests at Galton so got very good service including advice on where to go for dinner and a taxi booking.
Clean, simple, friendly and with secure parking - ideal for a one night stay and to give you time to freshen up after the long flight." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Galton House review "
1 night Arrived 20 Oct 2022
"Galton House is a great place to start your holiday.
We were greeted by the owner/manager with a welcome drink of cold tea. The guest house is in a residential area so very quiet surroundings.
The room is lovely and all the staff were friendly but professional. Good breakfast to set up for our drive for the day." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Galton House review"
1 night Arrived 11 Oct 2022
"When we arrived at Galton House, we received a warm welcome by the manager.
We got the nice room 1 facing the pool area. Everything was spotless clean and beautiful and tastefully decorated. During our stay, we got lunch and a lovely evening dinner on the spot with good South African wines by glass.
The day after, a nice breakfast. All in all, a great place to start the trip, we would happily visit again." See all these reviews: 35n in Namibia

"Galton House - a great start to our holiday"
1 night Arrived 9 Sep 2022
"A really nice hotel with all mod-cons, including swimming pool, well presented and ultra clean.
We had ordered an evening dinner having just arrived via Airlink from Johannesburg. It was delicious and a glass of wine went down well.
Breakfast was cooked to order and set us up for a drive up towards Etosha.
TIP: There is a Pick and Pay convenience store to stock up on consumables, water and drinks before your trip just down the road.
A great place to set you off on your Namibia holiday, or to wind down before you fly home." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana

"Sorry that we missed it!"
1 night Arrived 3 Sep 2022
"Unfortunately we missed our stay at the Galton House - due to a strike by the Lufthansa pilots we made to Namimbia a day later than our planned arrival date.
As such we went to the House for a quick shower, change of clothes and a short breakfast before heading the road to Etosha. Thus our comments below may be treated as superfluous...." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia
