"River Crossing review"
Staff are the highlight and couldn't have been more helpful. Rooms are a bit tired but perfectly OK.
Food was excellent especially the breakfast omelette." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia
"Convenient first stop close to the airport"
The room had a slightly "tired" feel to it and the air conditioning unit somewhat inadequate for the very high temperature prevailing.
But the Lodge is ideal for an overnight stop to or from the airport." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"River Crossing review"
Our room was dated, but clean and tidy, with all facilities working. This was the only place that we stayed at with a television!
The staff were helpful in allowing us to book in online and print tickets for our flight home.
We chose to eat in the restaurant here, although it would have been easy enough to go into Windhoek. The food was fine." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana
