"Olive Exclusive review"
1 night Arrived 15 Sep 2022
"Excellent staff and location . Our stay during the outbound trip was exceptionally good . However we had to move to different hotel as the air conditioning was not working in three of the rooms we were shown.
The temp was 40 degrees outside .
I understand that Expert Africa will be keeping it under observation as the management had changed recently." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

1 night Arrived 6 Sep 2022
"Our one night stay on the onward journey was excellent. Very friendly staff, excellent food ambiance and a good room ( AC was not necessary as it was not too hot)
Unfortunately on our return we had to shift to alternative accommodation as the AC was not working in 3 of the rooms that we were offered . All the staff and manager agreed that it was not working yet the owner who chanced to be there insisted it was and that no there guests had complained.
The machines were old and inadequate for a room of that size ( a 5Ton AC is absolutely insufficient ). Contrary to her version that the machines were new. The staff were gobsmacked when she said that and confided in us that her version was untrue." See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia

"Tranquil Setting in Windhoek"
1 night Arrived 5 Jun 2022
"My husband and I ended our holiday in Namibia with a night at The Olive Exclusive; simply put, it's a wonderful and tranquil setting, perfect for beginning or ending a Namibian adventure, with very personalized service.
We stayed in a premier suite, which offered a comfortable sitting area, plush bed, and plunge pool, and enjoyed all meals at the restaurant, which were wonderfully prepared.
Highly recommend!" See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Olive Exclusive review"
1 night Arrived 28 Mar 2022
"This is a really fancy boutique hotel, which after staying in safari camps for several weeks, feels a little unusual. As in neighboring Olive Grove Guesthouse, windows can be opened, but they are not protected by screens.
The food was better than at Olive Grove Guesthouse, but still didn’t reach the stellar quality of some local restaurants." See all these reviews: 20n in Namibia; 15n in Botswana

1 night Arrived 30 Oct 2021
"We spent one night here as a buffer between the Botswana and Namibia parts of our trip.
It was an excellent choice, close to the Eros airport, quiet, excellent food and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again even for multiple nights.
The staff was friendly and very helpful." See all these reviews: 12n in Botswana; 7n in Namibia; 3n in Zimbabwe

"A surprisingly bad final night"
1 night Arrived 29 Sep 2018
"The facilities are basically excellent.
Unfortunately our suite (No 6) suffered from an extremely noisy outside air-conditioning unit, which was impossible to turn off. As a result I got very little sleep. Apparently the unit had been re-sited the previous day because of earlier complaints, but this has not solved the problem. They were unable to change our suite because they were full, but this suite should not be used in its present state. You must check on this for future guests." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
