"A very comfortable and welcoming first stop, very handy from the airport from which it was easy to find, being on the east side of Windhoek as you enter the city.
Staff were very welcoming and helpful, pointing us to restaurants for lunch and dinner and booking a table for the latter." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia

"Again, we were only here very briefly for one afternoon and one overnight.
A nice quiet hotel that was well located for our brief stop. Nice room and good, helpful staff.
We didn't have time for breakfast so no comment on the food." See all these reviews: 9n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Villa Violet review"
2 nights Arrived 1 Jun 2022
"It was a lovely intimate lodge for two nights to see Windhoek before our departure by plane. The place was small, compact and well designed. The architect clearly mastered function with pleasing and attractive features. The staff was pleasant and very helpful with all our needs from finding the proper restaurant, advising where not to walk to getting a COVID test. The neighborhood was attractive and the walk to downtown was a treat."

2 nights Arrived 24 Apr 2022
"Room was nice with limited wifi in room due to its location in the complex.
The staff was outstanding and took care of all of us as we arrived in Namibia. A great place to stay at start of our trip. Staff recommendations for restaurants and arranging taxis was very helpful. Taxi necessary for getting around in the area without a vehicle." See all these reviews: 19n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Villa Violet review"
1 night Arrived 7 Aug 2021
"A pleasant stay on a quick overnight. The owner was onsite the following morning and was extremely helpful assisting us in getting our Covid test appointment set up. The online forms were tedious and not clear in some places.
There didn't seem to be a lot of choices for dinner within a short distance of the lodge and we were uncomfortable straying too far. But we were happy with Joe's Beer House." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 8n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe

"We spent only one night at Villa Violet on our way to Sossusvlei from Etosha. It was a good choice.
The owner recommended a nearby restaurant for dinner, and we really enjoyed our meal. She also helped us with booking covid tests on-line." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 8n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
