"Exceptional Service"
1 night Arrived 17 Aug 2013
"This was a very clean and nice. We arrived after dark because of grocery shopping, cooler/coolbox hunting and dinner. The security guard let us in and said we could check in in the morning.
I found the owner extremely nice. Her breakfast was superb. She made the best bread of the trip. She offered us the last of her ice and some of her home made bread and a cooler/coolbox. The internet access was consistent and fast enough...something we didn't not frequently have in Namibia. Loved the blow dryer. Few places had a blow dryer in Namibia."

"Villa Violet review"
1 night Arrived 18 Jul 2013
"We had a very warm welcome from Ben and Heidi. This was a really good and convenient place to stay in Windhoek after an overnight flight because it is on the airport side of the city.
We ate at Am Weinberg on Ben's advice which was excellent." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Great stay at Villa Violet"
1 night Arrived 3 Nov 2012
"Heidi & Benoit were really friendly & helpful. Villa Violet is in a quiet location & very comfortable. It proved to be an excellent choice of accommodation for our night in Windhoek before starting out on our tour. Look out for the home made marmalade at the breakfast table!
Villa Violet is well situated for local shops and also for Joe's Beerhouse!
Highly recommended." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Villa Violet review"
1 night Arrived 21 Sep 2012
"It was easy to find Villa Violet driving from Windhoek Intl airport. It is located in good area of Windhoek.
We walked to restaurants for dinner twice & had no issues. The owners of the place will help you find the nearby places such as gas stations, shopping malls etc. Heidi helped us make a dinner reservation when we arrived which was a nice touch & allowed us to relax after long flights."
