"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

"Galton House review"
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
