"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

"Galton House. Place to rest up after flight."

1 night Arrived 31 Aug 2019
"Galton House was just a place to stay after a long flight.

Having said that, the rooms were very well appointed and the service was fantastic.

We did not have time to use the pool as we only got there an hour before evening meal, went to bed straight after and left for our journey straight after breakfast.

The food was good and plentiful.

As Galton House is in a City and there are no Sat Nav's to follow, it was a bit difficult to find." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Perfect place for 1st night in Windhoek"

1 night Arrived 28 Jul 2019
"We arrived tired at Galton House after a 30 hours journey and arguing about the car in the airport. So much the more, we appreciated the warm welcome in Galton House. We got rooms 8 and 9 which had a convenient connecting door for families. Everything was beautiful and tastefully decorated in high quality materials. Spotless clean. Despite our late arrival, we got a lovely tasty 4 course dinner on the spot with good South African wine. The day after, a nice breakfast. We also noticed a nice pool area. All in all a great place we would happily visit again. Only minus was a very slow internet (if you need net, perhaps a star less)" See all these reviews: 21n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

"Great start to trip at Galton House"

1 night Arrived 25 Jul 2019
"Galton House was the perfect start to our 2 week trip. Great accommodation and service. They suggested a good restaurant for dinner and organised a shuttle to and from the restaurant.

Only issue was hot water not working in a couple of rooms but alternative showers provided and the issue was quickly resolved." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe

"Good overnight stay"

1 night Arrived 22 Oct 2018
"Very nice people.

We stayed just one night and arrived late due to flight delays and thus late pick-up of hire car so only meal was breakfast. Arrived in the dark and very difficult to find Galton House despite being in the correct street as unable to see any prominent sign to indicate its location.

Easy to get to from the airport." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia
