- Ulrich (10/5): Gemütlichkeit im Herzen der Altstadt - Behaglichkeit, Wohlgefühl, es ist, als sei man zu Gast bei Freunden. zu weit entfernt von meiner Heimatstadt
- Mikhail (10/5): - Великолепный интерьерный отель, в самом центре. Мне очень понравилось. Есть с чем сравнить, 75 стран😀

- Iurii (10/5): - Отличный номер.. очень дружелюбные хозяева, все рассказали, показали, порекомендовали куда сходить. Внутри прекрасная территория, внутренний дворик с цветами, лавочками, деревьями - отличная зона для посиделок с друзьями. Находится в хорошем районе в самом центре, недалеко от пляжа.
- Abdullah (10/5): - Everything was awesome about my stay. The only thing to note is that while the bathroom are spacious, comfortable and clean, they are shared bathrooms. So you will have to leave your room for the bathroom.
- Tomas (8/5): Very nice - Exceptional location & host Television availability - std channels
- Thomas Michael (7/5): - In Laufweite zu allem.
Mit viel Geschmack gestaltete Unterkunft. Bad und Toilette über den Hof.
Die Bestimmungen über Gästeaufenthalte sind nicht zeitgemäß und auch nicht praktikabel. Belehrungen durch den Vermieter.
Das braucht niemand.
Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis nicht angemessen.

- Hélène (7/5): Bon rapport qualité prix à Swakopmund - Petite chambre rustique et très bien située dans un des plus vieux bâtiments de Swakopmund (d'après Rian, le très sympathique et un peu bavard patron qui nous a conseillé des activités dans le coin).
Nous étions dans la chambre sans WC ni douche mais les deux sont tout proches. Literie confortable.
A savoir : il y a 3 chats, très discrets, sur place Odeur de produits ménagers un peu forte dans la chambre, ça peut gêner.
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - Súper nice place 2 min walking from the centre. Red
- Sophie-luise (10/5): Exceptional - Super nice hosts and really cute place!
- Lisa (10/5): Great location and friendly hosts - Such a gem of a find. We loved it here. Everything is so well thought through. Great location for being able to walk to restaurants and the sites. The hosts are lovely and seem like friends from the minute you get there. fridge with some kitchen utensils so we were able to eat out of the room for breakfast as well which is always great.
Highly recommend.
- Vermeulen (8/5): Very good - Beautiful center of town accommodation. Hosts very friendly and made me feel at home immediately. The name suits the decor and well displayed.
- Aleksander (10/5): Exceptional - Very friendly owners and a beautiful garden. Perfect localisation, only about 5 minutes on foot to the pier.

- Danae (9/5): Superb - Adorable cats, comfiest bed, central location
- Jan-niclas (10/5): Exceptional - Very pleasant stay at Rian who is a great host. Rustic Inn is centrally located in Swakopmund, with short ways to the next supermarket, restaurants, and the sea. The facilities are extremely clean throughout. Beyond, the smell in the room was very good making us feel at home very quickly
- Adriaan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elizaveta (9/5): Superb - This is the best accommodation for this price in the very center of the city. Everything was nearby: the ocean in 3 minutes, banks, a large supermarket in about 12 minutes. Two toilets are outside , but it’s not a problem because they are next to the apartments. Thanks to Mariaan and Rian and their three adorable cats for our vacation in Swakopmund and for an excursion to Cape Cross for a small fee
- Henry (9/5): Superb - This is a excellent place will go back any time. Hosts is friendly and very helpful.
- Iringo (10/5): Rustic Inn is a wonderful place! It’s where homey and luxury meet. - The aesthetic! It is lovely, it’s like you’re living on a page from a magazine. It is self made into this gorgeous garden like style. Literal cute old pots for a fountain! And fresh flowers that kind of look like carnations (just because I love carnations, this spoke to me).
- Alex (10/5): Great stay helpful host - Loved the time here Rian is wonderful host. Has great recommendations. Does like to talk a lot as is Namibian but all in good faith. Would stay again and recommend!
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Kabo (10/5): It was an exceptional stay - The location was central and convenient to what we went to the holiday for👌 It could be much more exceptional if the toilet was inside the room
- Marius (10/5): Exceptional - Clean room and bathroom. Mariaan and Riaan were super!!!! Food was excellent. Riaan willing/helpful to organize advwntures. Vibe at Rustic inn is out of this world. Very friendly We had to leave😭😭😭😭
- Mhuru (10/5): Amazing, can do it over and over again - The location is fantastic, so close to all the places you may want to visit. The hosts are amazing The parking is a bit too small
- Keshia (10/5): Exceptional -
- Alonso (10/5): Very nice apartment with everything in it, the location is very good - Very nice apartment with everything in it, also the location is very good with tons of restaurants and the beach nearby.
- Hempel (9/5): Superb - Mariann and Riaan are extremely nice and helpful - straight from the first contact after booking - Rustic Inn is indeed Rustic and very charming garden area with fascinating decorations and atmosphere - and we got good advice about sightseeing and places to eat - and got spoiled by Mariann who creates a home away from home They are building a system for payment via Mastercard or bank transfer instead of cash payment which will improve and facilitate the payment process.
- Ditaola (8/5): Very good -
- Bothma (7/5): Good -
- Club (10/5): Exceptional -
- Hunter (10/5): Exceptional - This was by far one of our favorite stays while traveling in Africa. The hosts communicated nicely before we arrived, sharing the location and asking us what we were interested in doing while in town. They also gave amazing recommendations for close by food and drinks. The room and outdoor space was nice and spacious, thoughtfully decorated, and felt easy to relax in. The shower was perfect after a day of activities with good pressure and heat. It was a much needed feeling of home after traveling for so long. We came as strangers and left feeling like family!
Another part was their recommendation to do a tour of Sandwich Harbor with the tour guide, Gideon. Hands down an amazing experience with fresh oysters, champagne, and good eats while in the middle of the Namib desert. After we expressed a desire to sandboard, he ensured we had an amazing spot and prepared boards for multiple awesome rides. Then we enjoyed a spectacular Braai with everyone and it is something I will remember forever. Nothing!
- Kai (10/5): Exceptional -
- Christian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Bilal (10/5): Exceptional - Exceeded my expectations in every way. The hosts, Mariana and Rian are incredibly hospitable and really make you feel at home. They were even nice enough to bring me along on a sandwich harbour trip they had planned with a friend, which was the perfect way for me to explore the dunes and surrounding areas.
Rustic Inn has a unique, antique charm that you won’t find elsewhere. The courtyard is spectacular as well as the location.
Highly recommend booking if you’re planning a visit to Swakop.
- Sarjo (6/5): Pleasant -
- Orit (10/5): great stay - the room was nice and clean, the owners were really nice and helped us with tours booking, good location and price.
- Elvin (10/5): It was an awesome stay - Perfect Everything about the facility
- Florence (10/5): We could not recommend this guesthouse enough. Mariam and her husband were so incredibly accommodating, and we could not - Everything- the hosts, the location, the cleanliness and the atmosphere - everything was truly wonderful! No complaints here! :)
- Chris (9/5): Superb - Great value and location. Host contacted me via WhatsApp immediately after booking, and waved us in as we approached the property. Helpful and friendly, even donated a needle to help me with some much-needed repairs...
- Wiktor (10/5): Absolutely amazing! - Our stay was absolutely unforgettable. The owners were incredibly kind and hospitable, and we enjoyed our long conversations with them. The room was beautiful and the entire property was decorated with great taste. Everything was handmade, which gave the place a unique character. We can't wait to return and see them again
- Athena (10/5): Beautiful little oasis in the heart of the town! - Beautiful little oasis, right in the middle of the town so easily restaurants/shops/beach were easily walkable.
The owners are incredibly friendly and give good advice about the area as well as help you to arrange tours if you want one.
Comfortable beds and nicely decorated. Nothing. We had a great stay!
- Fredericremy (10/5): Exceptional - The hosts are truly lovely, very helpful, and make sure you have a pleasant stay in Swakopmund. We regret not staying longer! I highly recommend it!
- Martha (8/5): Very good -
- Mateo (8/5): Very quaint accommodation with friendly host....... - The owner is very nice and friendly and can talk for Namibia. He likes to share stories with his guests. The nicest host we had on our trip to Namibia. He was always there ready to help. He was very nice with us arriving a bit later and waited for our arrival. You can park your car within a secure gate. This is a lovely nice quaint homely place. Gay-friendly. It feels like a cottage in a large town. There is a beautiful decorated garden with garden furniture to relax in should you wish. Our room was like a little cottage. It was very quaint with a nice sitting room and dining area. The separate bedroom was very cute, with a very comfy bed and pillows. It was very clean and quiet. We wanted to stay another night but it was booked up. Just a few minor issues. It can be a bit difficult to find, especially at night. We were being harassed by some 'ladies of the night', which had distracted us a bit, but it actually IS where the GPS directs you. It would be handy to have a lit sign and a bell at the gate. Also, Namibians don't seem to understand how bad their country is for phone services or free internet within businesses, so we had no coverage to contact our host, so we had to beep the horn to alert our host that we were outside the gate. This then became a habit and our saviour in Namibia.. It was quite a cold night and the room reflected that. The room became very cold during the night. There also was no toilet paper. Luckily we had some ourselves. The shower, although okay, is gas, and so is very temperamental. It's very difficult to get a steady temperature in it. The kitchenette could have had some been better equipped and with some basics like salt, pepper, oil, etc. Minor issues, but would definitely stay here again nonetheless.
- Daniel (10/5): Exceptional -
- Catherine (8/5): Enjoyable overnight stay. - Very unique, art work was terrific.
Easy check in, great communication with the host. Close to the beach and stores.
- Eben (9/5): Superb -
- Oleksandr (10/5): Exceptional -
- Paul (9/5): Warm, friendly, convenient and spacious at great value - Such a great central location in the older, original part of town, dozens of restaurants and bars within less than 10 minutes walk and only three blocks to the jetty and the beginning of the beach. The hosts are exceptionally friendly and very helpful with suggestions for touring. we took their recommendations for dune buggy rides, and for four wheeling way into the desert. Our unit had a full kitchen with sitting area, very comfortable beds and closets. Space. The shower had lots of hot water and outside our room was a private sitting area with easy chairs. It was great value for money and very pleasant. Lightin wax made dim in living room due to dark colo walls. When The next refresh the decor they should use more neutral, lighter colors, or alternatively, install more and brighter lighting
- Asser (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sphiwe (8/5): Very good -
- Boas (7/5): Good -
- Teiran (9/5): Good location, nice garden - Even though we booked the room with a super short notice (we arrived just 10 mins after we booked the room...), the host responsed to our chat very quickly and opened the gate for us when we arrived. The room we booked didn't have a private bathroom and was a little bit tight, but it's comfortble enough for people who only stay 1 night :) The shared toilet and shower were clean and the garden with the cats is very nice. Nothing
- Kotutu (8/5): Very good -
- Tiffany (10/5): Super super stay, value for your money, a home away from home! -
- Basilia (10/5): Amazing accommodation, very unique, clean, safe, close to the beach and shops. Owners are very welcoming and helpful. I - Everything!

- Melissa (10/5): Exceptional - Everything
- Alexander (10/5): An amazing experience with an already beautiful country - The places is literally next door to the ocean.
- Ines (10/5): Exceptional - We stayed for 2 nights and didn't regret a second. Rian is a fantastic and open-hearted host. He will help you immediately with any problems or concerns. We felt very welcome and the accommodation is full of character with great attention to detail. The location is in the middle of swakopmund and therfore perfect as a starting point for excursions but still very quiet. Rian, Thank you for a wonderful time.
Best regards
Ines and Hendrik
- Domingos (8/5): Wonderful - Good Good
- Reiner (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect place to stay, very friendly host, quiet but close to the centre, restaurants and supermarket, very beautiful yard to relax, 5 minutes walk to the Jetty to watch awesome sunsets Couldn't stay longer :))
- Des'rae (8/5): Stay was awesome -
- Tuomo (10/5): Our sweet home abroad - Rustic Inn was our 'home abroad' for four nights, and we really enjoyed every moment over there. It's hard to image a more cozy atmosphere with all the nice details our kind and thoughtful hostess Mariann had created into rooms and a large, beautiful patio. Even though the place is in the heart of Swakopmund, the street is quiet, and nothing will disturb the peace of the sleeper. Highly recommeded - thank you so much !
- Ute (9/5): A unique and welcoming little guesthouse in a unique little town! - It is a small homestay with three rooms right in the center of Swakopmund. 5 minutes and you are at the beach and the jetty. The rims are beautifully painted and decorated. I loved the old wooden floors and the lovely furniture. Everything is thoughtful and pretty. If you are looking for a unique place to stay, this is it! Riaan the owner goes out of the way to make you comfortable. He helped us settle in, told us lots about the area and even let us sample some of the local dishes. We felt instantly welcomed! It is a little difficult to find. No signboard, no bell to ring, just a gate which looked like it was looked. Riaan told us to give him a call or message once we arrived in town, which I could not do as I had no data on my phone. He did send us the location though, so at least we knew where look. A signboard would have definitely helped!
- Seleke (9/5): Superb -
- Amanda (10/5): Excellent and affordable stay in Swakopmund - We spent one evening in Swakopmund. Mariaan and Ryan were really lovely hosts and we had a great time talking with them and also looking at their artwork. The room was comfortable and the shared bathroom facilities were nice and clean. They had everything we needed. Although we didn't end up choosing breakfast or excursions it was nice that those were options. We really enjoyed exploring the area and had a great time. It's also in a convenient location and we enjoyed a run along the beach/boardwalk the next morning. Thank you for the lovely hospitality! n/a
- Marina (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place with a lot of love for detail. It is very close to everything by foot, so it is the perfect location. The owners were the nicest people ever!
- Andrea (10/5): Exceptional - perfect, frendly, good location, good accomodation, I recommend!
