Guest Reviews
- Joerg (10/5): Ein genialer Stop-over - Nun, was soll ich sagen? Es war einfach fantastisch hier. Was erwartet man von einem Hotel für einen Zwischenstopp … eigentlich nicht viel … und was findet man im Symponia Guesthouse? Etwas, das dem Paradies sehr nahe kommt. Saubere, geräumige Zimmer, ein gepflegter Garten und für diejenigen, die es wünschen, ein hervorragend gepflegter Campingplatz – und die Küche unter der Leitung von Chefkoch Oteng ist einfach fantastisch. Das Gästehaus ist wirklich zu schön für nur eine Übernachtung … vielen Dank
Well, what can I say? It was just amazing here. What do you expect from a stopover hotel… not much, really… and what do you find at Symponia Guesthouse? Something just short of paradise. Clean, spacious rooms, a well-kept garden, and for those who want it, a superbly maintained campsite—and the kitchen, led by Chef Oteng, is simply fantastic. The guesthouse is really too good for just one night’s stay… thank you so much

- Sarah-Christin (10/5): Schönes Gästehaus auf dem Weg nach Namibia - Auf dem Rückweg von Botswana nach Namibia haben wir in diesem wunderschönen Gästehaus übernachtet und waren rundum begeistert. Die gesamte Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Unser Zimmer war geschmackvoll eingerichtet und äußerst komfortabel – man fühlt sich sofort wohl.
Besonders hervorheben möchten wir das freundliche und aufmerksame Personal, das unseren Aufenthalt noch angenehmer gemacht hat. Auch das Essen war ein echtes Highlight: lecker und mit viel Sorgfalt zubereitet.
Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden dieses Gästehaus jederzeit weiterempfehlen! ——

Check-in unkompliziert, Personal und Besitzer freundlich, alles blitzsauber, nicht nur das Zimmer, sondern auch das Pool. Zimmer luftig und komfortabel, Badezimmer riesig, gut ausgestattet. Alles vermittelt eine Wohlfühlatmosphäre. Frühstück gut, mit allem was man braucht. Etwas Lärm von der nahegelegene Straße, aber in der Nacht ruhig. Es hat uns alles gefallen.

- Kgomotso (10/5): Heartwarming home away from home, with perfect comfort, incredible breakfasts, friendliest staff - Our 2-night stay at Symponia Guesthouse in Ghanzi, Botswana, was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, the sparkling cleanliness of the space and the perfectly tuned air conditioning offered a haven of comfort. The breakfasts were a culinary delight, each bite a celebration of flavor that set the tone for the day. The staff were warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring, making us feel not like guests, but like cherished family. Hearing Setswana, so closely tied to the languages of home, wrapped us in a comforting sense of belonging. It wasn’t just a stay—it was a home away from home, infused with heart and soul. The stay was perfect, but the bathroom was quite hot due to high weather temperatures. We couldn’t open the windows as there were no mosquito traps, which would have helped with ventilation.
- Gert (10/5): Exceptional -
- Wilfried (9/5): Superb - Perfekt place to stop in Ghanzi, good quality in lodging and food.
- Clyde (10/5): Exceptional - great place to stay . and great staff . Little bit of Road noise , but all good

- Eugenie (10/5): A little piece of heaven - The staff were amazing, the food was delicious, the rooms were great and the gardens and birdlife were exceptional. It is an Oasis. I highly recommend this spot. I have camped their too and that was also fabulous Our stay could have been longer!
- Angus (10/5): Excellent Guesthouse in Ghanzi! - Excellent attentive, helpful and friendly staff as well as a great owner who came to say hello at dinner time. So impressed by the quality of rooms, restaurant, garden and glad we stayed the night at Symponia!
- Peulh (10/5): Very pleasant experience between Maun and Windhoek - We spent overnight after travelling from the Moremi National Reserve to Windhoek. It was a very pleasant stay: rooms were spacious, bathroom splendid, proper and functional, breakfast was great. The personnel was very helpful, and we really enjoyed the evening and the night. I highly recommend Symponia Guesthouse for all on a trip between Windhoek and Maun. It's not the fault of the management. The highway is very close to the chalets, and sometimes big lorries can be heard even at night. But this does not reduce the value of the guesthouse as window and doors make the noise disappear. And I have to admit that the lack of shade at the swimming pool hindered me to go there in the full sun. Two or three trees would make it - lapas or sun umbrellas could face problems with the strong Kalahari winds.
- Robsievw (10/5): Very pleasant stay in Ghanzi - Comfortable, clean and spacious room in a nice setting. Excellent breakfast, delicious steak dinner and nice desserts. Nothing
- Johanna (9/5): Superb -
