"Very comfortable after a long flight"
1 night Arrived 21 Nov 2015
"We were welcomed by the team from Galton House and, after sorting out the car hire, we got some rest and then had dinner in the city.
The breakfast was very nice in the morning and we were the only guests, which made for a very nice and private morning meal!" See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia

"Wonderful location"
1 night Arrived 13 Sep 2015
"Just sorry not to have time to take advantage of the superb accommodation.
There was a problem in that it was almost impossible to stop the shower flooding the whole bathroom (and more!). It needs a "lip" to stop the shower overflowing into the bathroom." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 4n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Friendly guesthouse in a convenient location"
1 night Arrived 7 Aug 2015
"We stayed here 2 separate overnight stops at this guesthouse. The place was nice and located close to downtown area, though still in a lovely, quieter neighborhood. It was an easy drive to the restaurants we wanted to try. Staff was helpful to guide us toward those places and not pushing us to have dinner at the guesthouse, a gesture which we appreciated.
We would note that each room could be quite different. The first room we had was much smaller than the second one. The bathroom had a bit too smaller space to put toiletries for our liking, but it was just an overnight stop. Good wifi access." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
