"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

1 night Arrived 14 Aug 2022
"Lovely small guest house with extremely helpful staff.
Area is quiet and felt extremely safe to take an evening walk in.
Family room was spacious and comfortable and bathroom good. Breakfast lovely and again, service excellent. Pool was absolutely freezing (we knew it wasn’t heated), but could perhaps do with a pool cover for nights." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"We were only there briefly overnight the first night but the staff helpfully prepared and provided us with dinner in the room at short notice given our late arrival time.
The room was good and clean and staff friendly." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Galton House review"
1 night Arrived 26 Jun 2022
"We arrived at Galton House directly from the airport after an overnight flight with our kids, and were very grateful for the warm welcome we received and the chance to rest up for 24hrs in such a quiet and pleasant environment.
Our rooms were everything we needed: spotlessly clean, thoughtfully equipped and with interconnecting doors between our 2 rooms. The food was delicious, and staff were friendly and very kind to the children.
We would definitely return." See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

"A really good place for an overnight stop.
We were pleased to be able to have dinner there, which was very good.
We had our first bottle of South African wine which was one of the best on the whole trip.
Very welcoming and a stylish place." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Galton House review"
1 night Arrived 23 Oct 2021
"The perfect end to our trip. Rooms are nice, the main areas have relaxing music and the overall vibe is very homey and relaxed.
Colin is a character and a lot of fun to have a conversation with. Both he and his staff were able to make us feel right at home and provide a welcoming atmosphere.
Being able to stay until the very last minute before leaving for the airport and use the rooms and pool without any fuss was a gift!
Next time we'll start there as well." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Good stay"
1 night Arrived 21 Oct 2019
"Our voucher designated a luxury room, but although it was comfortable we would not have called it luxury. On returning home and reading the description again it appears that the room we were given was a room from the second family room - it was off the parking area and had an interleading door to another room.
Apart from this, we found Galton House very comfortable, clean and welcoming - just 40 minutes from the airport, and in a very quiet location. Food was excellent and we would recommend that you eat at Galton House for your evening meal instead of going into town!" See all these reviews: 22n in Namibia

"A perfect start to our trip"
1 night Arrived 3 Oct 2019
"Galton House was really fantastic and definitely our favourite of the two places we stayed in Windhoek. It had a lovely relaxed and welcoming feel, the dinner was delicious and the service was just perfect - very attentive without being overbearing.
The pool area and lounge areas were especially nice, and the open plan kitchen where you could help yourself to a hot drink or a beer from the fridge really contributed to the relaxed, home-from-home experience." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia
