"River Crossing review"
1 night Arrived 6 Dec 2019
"We stayed here overnight before our 2 week Namibia self drive tour.
We arrived late d/t plane delays and left early the next morning after breakfast and did not get to enjoy the area. At first we were a bit confused why we had an upscale lodge/room when moving on the next day. However, after spending the morning in Windhoek getting money exchanged, picking up food, we realized how great it was to be outside of the city, not deal with traffic, people, beggars, and having a quiet space after a day of travel."

"River Crossing review"
1 night Arrived 29 Sep 2019
"This was disappointing compared with the other accommodation we had stayed at. There was no benefit in being out of town and on the way to the airport as our flight was not until 3.00pm.
With hindsight we would have preferred to stay somewhere in Windhoek close to some restaurants and from where we could have done a walk round the city in the morning. Hilltop Guesthouse or similar would have been ideal.
The food at RC was nothing special." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

1 night Arrived 16 Sep 2019
"Excellent overnight stop, especially after three hours at the airport, processing the hire car and filling in the paperwork for our lost luggage.
Would be a great place to stop prior to flying out, staff were friendly, food good, rooms comfortable and a pool." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia
