"Lovely B&B at Villa Violet."
1 night Arrived 17 Jun 2016
"This is a high class B&B at a location in Windhoek convenient for the city centre and the road to the airport.
The service, rooms and food were excellent. We arrived early afternoon following a long drive from Etosha and luxuriated in resting on the beds whilst watching the Euros (international ‘soccer’ for our transatlantic friends) on TV." See all these reviews: 11n in Namibia

"Welcoming starting point for our trip"
1 night Arrived 21 May 2016
"I would like to say that the stay was very good because there were some excellent points about the accommodation (e.g. the friendly welcome and breakfast) but our room had a couple of defects.
We had to ask the proprietor to attend to a continually flushing toilet and TV that did not work" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia; 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

Feedback Response
We have been in touch with the owners of Villa Violet who were very sorry that these travellers found the breakfast pack inedible.
The owners have assured us that they will take great care to ensure that the breakfast packs are as good as possible.
Namibia's municipality has issued a hosepipe ban across the country for the foreseeable future due to drought conditions and it has become mandatory that pool covers be used and filling private pools has been banned. This unfortunately makes it harder for the owners to maintain their pools to a high standard.
