Shuttle Taxi zum Airport oder Restaurants wird organisiert. Reichhaltiges Frühstück. Komfortable und geräumige Zimmer mit Terrasse und Blick auf den Fluss. Idealer Stopover in Maun.
- Opie (9/5): -
- Marc (8/5): -
- Filipa Corte Real (8/5): - The location is wonderful. The view to the river very nice. The staff very nice as well.
- Roman (7/5): - Nice quiet place right next to the river No hit breakfast like eggs, no restaurant with nothing available in the area, internet connectivity was very unreliable. Should be better considering the price.
Overall a great place to stay though.
- Henrietta (8/5): We only had 1 night but it was great for that but certainly would have been happy to stay longer - Great room very comfortable. Nothing
- Gros_ibou (10/5): Great experience - Highly recommended.
Beautiful location with great river-views. Perfectly clean rooms. Most importantly: very attentive service!!
Delicious breakfast with self baked bread, cake etc.
In addition: great taxi/driver arrangement.
We stayed three days and it was vey comfortable!
- Roman (8/5): -
- Beverley (8/5): Good overnight stop in Maun - Clean and spacious room and tasty continental breakfast. It was all fine
- Phillipa (8/5): -
- Sandy (8/5): - Lovely pool, nice rooms, exceptionally helpful staff. Manager went out of his way to get us take outs delivered and settle the children after a long journey in the car that day. Again a lovely stop over at Waterfront Nothing
- HPDNelson (7/5): - Nice, spatious rooms overlooking river. Poor internet, unfortunately not the greatest mobile phone signal as well, so if you need to use internet while there, you should plan to go to an internet cafe or something.
- Ben (3/5): Veel te duur - De fotos op de website zijn slim genomen. Het hotel is oud, wordt niet schoongemaakt. Echt veel te duur, staat in geen verhouding. Alles
- Ben (3/5): Veel te duur, niet schoon - Niets Alles
- Ben (3/5): Veel te duur - Viel erg tegen. Fotos geven een heel ander beeld. Het was er vies.
- Pim (8/5): Prima en comfortabel verblijf, maar wel wat aan de dure kant - Super vriendelijke personeel en een heerlijk, uitgebreid ontbijt met huisgemaakt brood etc.
Het bed was comfortabel en de kamer lekker ruim. Op sommige punten leek de accomodatie wat verouderd. De prijs was uiteindelijk wel te hoog voor wat je kreeg.
- Graham (9/5): - Balcony and view, room size Weather, rained constantly
- Jacqueline (8/5): Beautiful views from the balcony - Lovely large room and bathroom which were comfortable and clean. Balcony with a view of the river. Fresh milk in the fridge for tea and coffee was a nice touch. There is only breakfast served at this hotel, however Mobi on reception recommended and reserved us a table at a local restaurant which was very helpful.
Lots of choice of fresh breads and coffee at breakfast time There was no help to our room which was on an upper floor with our luggage.
Lighting in the room was very poor - unable to read in the evening. As we needed to use an adapter when using a plug, we were only
able to use the adapter or have WiFi in the room, which was annoying, due to the plug set up in the room.
No hot choices, as only a continental breakfast
- Martin (8/5): Nice location friendly staff - Nice location lots of parking
Friendly staff

Thank you for the lovely reception, Maun Waterfront.

- Roger (9/5): -
- Udo (9/5): Ordentliche Unterkunft sehr gutes Frühstück - In Ermangelung von ausreichend bezahlbaren Unterkünften in und um Maun die passende Alternative. Maun ist eine afrikanische Großstadt und das muss man schon lieben alleine zum durchfahren ;-) Waterfront lag dann wieder etwas auswärts, allerdings nur Bed & Breakfast d.h. Abends raus zum??? Da verließen sie ihn ;-) Wasser direkt aus dem Okavango und man sah die hunderte Kilometer die der Cubango zum Kavango und Okavango durchlaufen hat in Form und Farbe eines guten englischen Tees direkt an :-D und wohlgemerkt aus der Leitung. Aber wer Afrika echt bestellt, bekommt Afrika in Echt geliefert ;-) Idealer Ausgangspunkt zum Moremi Nationalpark mit hunderten Elefanten und Hippos und und und..
- Oliver (5/5): Delightful rooms, sadly not worth the high price - Lovely rooms and balcony. No restaurant, quite a way from town.
- christian (9/5): -
- Judith (8/5): -
- Tanja (8/5): Wunderbar für ein bis drei Nächte - Schönes kleines gemütliches Hotel. Gute Betten etc.
Super geklappt mit der Abholung vom Flughafen und abends und auch wieder zurückgebracht morgens zum Flughafen. Alles hat super geklappt und es waren alles super nett und es gab ein schönes Frühstück. Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Schöne Lage am Fluss Es ist ein bisschen weit weg vom Ortskern
- Ernst (9/5): -
- Matthias (8/5): - Two 7cm spiders in the room.
- Juan Antonio (7/5): -
- Tony (6/5): Beautiful setting, luxurious rooms but no restaurant.expensive - Beautiful setting next to the river. Lovely big comfortable rooms with great balconies. Good breakfast and friendly staff. There is no restaurant at the hotel and none within walking distance. They organise take away food but it costs 80 pula to deliver and all 3 times it was cold by the time we got it.
We were charged a lot for the food and it was awful. We were also charged 40 US dollars each for a 1 hour boat trip which was a bit much.
- Mariya (10/5): -
- Matthias (8/5): -
- peter (7/5): Great staff, but overpriced. This seems to be a common theme for tourist in Maun. - Great staff. Pool wasn't up to expectations.
- Holly (10/5): Great place to stay in Maun - Gorgeous river side location.
Beautifully clean and well designed room, lovely terrace overlooking the river.
Great pool area with lovely gardens.
Fab breakfast with fresh baked goods.
Friendly staff Nothing

- SM (8/5): -
- Patricia (10/5): Leuke accomodatie in Maun die makkelijk is aan te rijden en van waaruit je diverse trips kan doen - Een leuke accommodatie in Maun met vriendelijk personeel dat je helpt bij vragen. Een lekker ontbijt en een prima uitvalsbasis om de Okavango Delta te bezoeken. De kamer was groot en we konden heerlijk op een eigen terras zitten kijkend naar de rivier Geen
- Monica (10/5): Consigliato - Bella struttura a dieci minuti dall’aeroporto, che, praticamente è il centro di Maun con dei negozi di oggettistica carini e bar-caffè ….. Personale molto gentile. Pulito. Si può cenare il loco con un servizio di ordinazioni presso la struttura stessa. Consigliamo di farsi portare il cibo da Marc’s.
- adrian (9/5): Great place as a hub to start your safari - Great staff - competent and very friendly
- Yorick (9/5): Relaxing - Very relaxing. Huge room. We had river view on the lower level. Everything clean. Very welcoming reception. Loved the honesty bar. Very accommodating with changing plans. Nice pool. No on-site restaurant but they arranged reservations and transportation to restaurants. Nothing
- Heike69 (9/5): Schönes, sauberes Hotel in Maun - Schönes kleines Hotel am Fluss, große Terrasse mit Flussblick, sehr gutes und umfangreiches Frühstück, tolle Pirschfahrt von der Lodge aus. Schöner sauberer Pool. Schade, dass es keine Möglichkeit gibt, in der Lodge Abendessen zu erhalten. Die Auswahl in Maun ist etwas beschränkt.
- Anton (9/5): Ideale Unterkunft in Maun für den Start in den Moremi NP. - Ideale Unterkunft in Maun für den Start in den Moremi NP. Sehr große und saubere Zimmer. Schöner Balkon/Terrasse mit Blick auf den Fluß. Wenige Minuten mit dem Auto ins Zentrum. Sehr netter und hilfsbereiter Inhaber. Ein würdiger Nachfolger für Patrick. Leider kein Abendessen, war uns aber bekannt.
- zalman (10/5): -
- OLIVIER (10/5): Very Good hotel in Maun - All was perfect. They organised for us a trip to Moremi with mr Relax which was fantastic
Super friendly staff Nothing

- Muset (9/5): -
- Jo (5/5): - Excellent staff and close to airport Not 4 star as advertised should be rated 3 star
- Deborah (8/5): -
- Sandra (5/5): - - Gentillesse du personnel
- bel hôtel
- bon petit dejeuner - les draps n'ont vraisemblablement pas été changés par le personnel : plein de poils et de cheveux dans le lit ce qui est INADMISSIBLE. Nous avons dû dormir dans nos sacs de couchage sur le lit.
- aboiement des chiens pendant la nuit même si ce n'est pas vraiment de la faute de l'hôtel
- Mark (9/5): -
- Nadia (10/5): Schöne und ruhige Lage - Schöne und ruhige Lage und sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal Wasserprobleme. Am Morgen stockt die Wasserzufuhr.
- Nadia (10/5): Schöne und ruhige Lage - Schöne Lage am Wasser. Freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal Wasserprobleme. Aber mit etwas Geduld klappt es und sonst hilft die Reception
- Heide (9/5): - Sehr guter Gin, tolle Tagestour zum Moremi Park, super Frühstück
- Melanie (8/5): Hat Potenzial - Die Aussicht ist wirklich sehr sehr schön. Die Selbstbedienungsbar war auch ganz gut. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmereinrichtung (Toilette und Lavabo) sollten erneuert werden. Es war leider auch nicht ganz sauber. Schlimm ist es nicht aber für 4 Sterne und den Preis, da haben wir für weniger deutlich Besseres gesehen.
- Simon (10/5): 10/10 - 10/10! Super Unterkunft, schöne und grosse Zimmer, wunderbarer Balkon mit Sicht auf's Wasser, sauber, super Frühstück mit selbstgemachtem Brot, sehr nette Mitarbeiter, super Organisation für mit Shuttle in die Stadt (Restaurants) und zurück. Top! Danke!

- Eric (9/5): - Beautiful room and well equipped A bit far from restaurants,but we ordered in from a local restaurant and that was fabulous
- Emmelie (9/5): Fantastisch - Hele toffe en leuke plek
- Jan (8/5): - Breakfast was good, staff in this inn was very heplfull, but the best man was our driver to Goremi National Park.....MR RELAX thanks once more for our trip,,,,,,leopard, chetaah, elephants, zebras......this man is a Master Waterfron Inn- this river was 3-4 moths ago, during my stay only the grass
- Jesse (5/5): If you want to unplug then it'll work - The river is the selling point. The room looks better on picture when we find there are maintenance issue irl. The bathroom needs a bit of attention espeically with the hot water pump. The location is too far from everything, but maybe that is the point. There was little to no WiFi anywhere, despite the property advertising strong WiFi. Only found out about the pool area upon check-out. That’s incompetence on the part of the check-in staff, even though they are very friendly.
- Sai (6/5): One night unplugged away from civilization - The river is the selling point. Too far from everything. No shuttle service. Little to no wifi anywhere when the property advertised has strong wifi. Only found out about the pool area upon checking out. That’s incompetency on the check-in staff even though they are friendly.
- Lindsay (10/5): Great stay lovely helpful staff - Room was lovely and spacious overlooking the waterfront and had a great shower! Taxis were organised for us and very reliable. Staff were amazing, we had an issue with our trip to the okovango delta and the staff helped us rebook with another company last minute! Would definitely stay again! The WiFi wasn't great in the bedroom but otherwise no complaints!
- Lavinia (8/5): Great stopping g place on your way through Maun. There is no restaurant so the breakfast is continental and the manager - Power in the parking area was a massive bonus. A comfy bed and very clean. Entrepreneurial spirit of the business. It was a bit expensive compared to others we have stayed at of a similar nature.
- Cornelia (9/5): Superb - Lovely hotel at the river bank, we stayed one night and the hotel suited us very well, friendly staff, great breakfast, very much recommended!
- Ondrej (9/5): Superb -
