"Olive Grove review"

1 night Arrived 18 Jan 2011
"Our room on arrival was not a luxury room, with hugh puddles outside the door, with no way of wiping our feet till we put a towel down, having asked for some method of drying many times.

The last visit on our return 5/2/11, we were then given a luxury room, without having to go outside to enter, good as it was raining very heavily, but we had a incident as we were leaving, all our luggage was taken down stairs and left on the terrace, I left in the room my makeup, hairbrush and tooth brush and toothpaste, so after breakfast I could freshen up in rediness for our flight. Returning half and hour later, the expensive makeup and hair brush had gone, BUT toothbrush was left!! We sat in full view of all the staff when have our breakfast with the luggage still in view. Complaining to the manager he went to the staff quarters and found my missing items, he was full of apologies, but I was very cross by this incident." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
