A great experience! Great value for money!”

I had a really good time at this guesthouse. The staff was really nice and helpful. The activity that I booked with them (game drive safari) was the best and really, really cheap. In spite of when is not in Kasane Downtown, they provide transport to the ATM and supermarket (anyway, nothing to do in a small city as Kasane. Kasane is only a place to do nice activities in Chobe National Park). You also can use their fully equipped kitchen for self catering... I was tired and I ordered a tasty dinner. It's not a 5 stars hotel, but it was a really good value for money with nice people... Definitely, I recommend it!!!

Shocking. Miles away from anything. Uncomfortable beds. Not enough bathrooms. ”

Terrible location, 50 pula in a taxi into Kasane, don't think about walking directly to the main rd - lot's of buffalo and elephant's! Tiny kitchen, not enough bathrooms. Don't when think about booking the 2 bed dorm, it's hotter than the surface of the sun and only cools down around 2am (as told by a guy who was in there). I got moved to the ac dorm for free. The stairs up to the ac dorm were a borderline deathtrap - uneven, some were angled, the banister was shoulder height and no light! Only one working power socket in the room for 8 people. The receptionist had no idea what was going on. She was a trainee and should not have been left on her own but there was no excuse for being rude. If you've a tent, they're are MUCH better option's closer to town.

Hospitalidad y Actividades Increíbles!!!”

Nos quedamos sólo por una noche en este lugar y me encantaría haber tenido más tiempo para quedarme por más días para tomar más actividades... Lo pasamos increíblemente bien!!! (yo no sé si es posible reservar Game Drives Safari tan baratos en otros lugares de África, me llamó la atención...). La amabilidad del personal es incomparable, con un ambiente relajado, unas cervezas frías... qué más puedo pedir? La cama de nuestra habitación era muy cómoda y el aire acondicionado funcionó perfecto. Los vamos a extrañar!!!

Nie wieder”

Die Anlage sieht gut aus, der Innenbereich ist aber sehr enttäuschend. Die Matratzen waren fürchterlich. Meine Freundin und ich hatten ein 3 Bett Zimmer. In 2 Betten traten die Matratzen Federn beim Hineinlegen hervor und in einem Bett lag auf einem Holzbrett eine dünne Matratze. Die Gemeinschaftsdusche hatte schon bessere Zeiten gesehen. Der Boden bestand aus defekten Steinen , das Wasser musste zwischen Toi und Dusche umgeschaltet werden. Wir haben dort zu Abend gegessen. Das Gericht war schmackhaft. Getränke musste man selbst besorgen, die Bar nicht in Betrieb. Kaffee und Tee konnte man sich kostenlos zubereiten. Die Umgebung bestand aus einer Schotterstraße , mit sehr viel Sand. Das Guesthouse liegt einsam. Für uns nicht empfehlenswert.
