Guest Reviews
- Eckhard (10/5): - Schönes Zimmer und freundliches Personal. Ein Pool in schöner Lage. Das Frühstück war leider nicht sehr gut, es fehlte Marmelade und Joghurt. Trotzdem waren wir sehr zufrieden.
- Alan (10/5): - It was a very quiet peaceful property off the beaten path. Staff were very friendly.
- Christof (8/5): - Very nice
- Monika (8/5): - Nette Lage im Nirgendwo, freundliches Personal, sehr tolle Bar
- Sylvia (10/5): - Gut zu erreichen, super freundliches Personal und gutes Frühstück.
- Katja (10/5): - .
- Nathan (10/5): - Had an amazing 2 night stay here, the location is incredible, set against the mountains with an endless view across the desert.
Staff are super friendly and welcoming, rooms are great with good AC, especially liked the terrace off the room where you can watch the sunset, sunsets here are incredible.
The breakfast and dinner was ok, not amazing, but the location and staff made up for the food quality.
- Andreas (8/5): Good accommodation in the middle of the wilderness - during low season, we had been the only guests. Makes dinner/breakfast a bit feeling lonely. Therefore, for dinner we went to the main lodge (at the fuel station, approx 6km from the Solitaire Desert Farm).
The toaster for the bread was defect, made black tiles only...
Otherwise: very nice, very quite, great star-gazing. Rooms are very spacious. Clean pool. Missing the owner to say "hello" (was on premise).
Warhogs seen at the water-hole.
- Timothy (10/5): - Quite a way off the main road but that gives it complete peace and quiet apart from nature.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Stay here when going to Sossuvlei - Great service. Tangeny was a great host and knew so much to share about the area. The dinner was good. Lots of animals to see near property. Easy access to Sossuvlei.
- Bert (8/5): Nice rooms but bad food - Lovely rooms with thatched roof only a few km from the main road. Food was a disappointment though, it was a la carte and no buffet, which would be perfectly fine but the menu contained mostly burgers which is not what I want to eat in a lodge. The only decent option was a game steak which was small, overcooked and had a very unpleasant liver taste. Breakfast was equally bad, a buffet with very few options, all pre-cooked, the scrambled egg half liquid and the bacon brown and ugly. If we ever eat here again we will stock up at solitaire's apple pie before we enter the premises and not touch any item offered here.
- DAEWOON (8/5): 편한한 롯지에서 가족여행보다 캠핑여행자들이 잠시 들리는 아름다운 공잔 - 숙소 환경은 아름답고 편안한 분위기로 좋았지만 롯지의 경우 숙소 내부 시설은 냉장고나 TV는 없고 침대와 에어컨이 시설이 되어 있습니다. 창문과 메인 문의 잠금 장치 개선이 필요합니다. 조식의 경우 나미비아 대부분 숙소에서 별도로 계란과 베이컨, 버섯과 전통소세시 등이 나오는데 여기는 별도 접시에 계란만 지급해 주었습니다. 가족여행이라도 롯지보다는 캠핑사이트 이용이 이 숙소의 장점으로 평가 됩니다. 아름다운 캠핑사이트로는 손색이 없습니다. 다만 가장 가까운 마트와 거리가 비포장 도로 7km 이상 떨어져 있어 숙소에 방문하기 전에 필수품 구입을 하시기 바랍니다.
- Eva (8/5): Trevligt behagligt ställe för en övernattning - En trevlig upplevelse med positiv personal, stora rum med möjlighet till att sitta precis utanför. Trevligt pool område. Middagen var begränsad i menyn och drar ner helhetsintrycket lite. Platsen ger en känsla av att det satsats mycket men fått nya ägare som förvaltar och inte längre utvecklar. Har inga belägg att det är så, men stället gav mig den känslan. Kan fortfarande rekommenderas.
- Carsten (10/5): - Die Anlage ist sehr schön und das Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend. Wir hatten bei der Anreise eine Panne 50 km vor der Farm und der Manager der Farm hat uns persönlich abgeholt und weitergeholfen. Das Schwimmbad ist sauber und schön. Das Essen ist sehr gut. Eine klare Weiterempfehlung!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Wunderherrliches Setting - 7 km von der Hauptverkehrsstraße. Es gibt dort ein eigenes Wasserloch und einen wunderbar gepflegten Kaktusgarten. Das Frühstück war sehr gut und im Garten gibt es viele Sitzgelegenheit mit schönem Ausblick auf die Umgebung. Wir waren begeistert.
- Inga (10/5): 5 stars! - Beautiful lodge with amazing amenities!
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Bis auf die Dusche eine rundum schöne Unterkunft mit leckerem Menu.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Tout très bien !
Sauf le salami allemand !
Excellent Acceuil , chambre sympa.. vue extraordinaire..
- Jean Jacques (10/5): Sans hésiter tout est parfait - Nous voyageons depuis quinze jours en Namibie
Cet hôtel au milieu de nulle part est hyper sympa
Une belle piscine très propre un manager venant d Afrique du Sud aux petits soins avec nous un très bon dîner ( miam miam ) des chambres confortables et un environnement. Ou on peut marcher sans problème et prix corrects
- Bartira (2/5): - Hotel.com not showed this booking in app, I try to contact a lot of times by phone and emails, I have 10 emails asking about this booking and I decide to booking another hotel because the app of hotels.com didnt give to me any information, untill now in by booking area of the website dont appear this booking. So, I contact the Solitaire Desert Farm to comunicate this and try to cancel without any fee because is not my fault, but Hotels.com fault and they charge me. I want my refund from hotels.com of this booking cause I DONT STAYED THERE!
- Flo (8/5): - Tres beau cadre. Chambres confortable. Mais restauration très basique et sans grand choix. Mauvais rapport qualité prix sur la restauration
- Verified traveler (10/5): - The location was prrfect and the acvommodation also with good service.
- BBS (10/5): Tolle Lage - Es gibt Wanderwege um die Lodge rum herum, die kann man Selbst erkündigen oder geführt mit einem Guide, eine grosse Hilfe und Engagement bekommt man von der Rezeption.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Buona location ma poca cura delle stanze - Bella location, aree comuni molto ben curate, personale gentile e disponibile, ma stanza poco pulita e con molti insetti, mobili datati, lenzuola vecchie
- Marcus Vinicius Soares (10/5): Excepcional. Ultrapassou todas as expectativas - Excepcional. Ultrapassou todas as expectativas. Pessoal do hotel super atenciosos. Cozinha e comida excelentes. Café da manhã muito bom. Local de muita paz e luz...Fora de série.
- Monique (10/5): Mooi Hotel - De ligging is afgelegen, maar daardoor erg rustig. De kamer was prima. Het eten was goed, wel simpel. De tuin mooi verzorgd. Het zwembad is klein. De mooiste sterrenhemel ooit
- HP (8/5): Good budget hotel, cheetah experience - We enjoyed the cheetah tour here at Solitaire Desert Farm. Location OK, easy to find, facilities good enough for a one-night stopover. Food average, not bad but not great. They were renovating the bar so it caused some confusion amongst staff when it came to ordering drinks.
- Marie-Claude (8/5): - Bel hôtel au milieu du désert, tranquille et bien entretenu. Jolie piscine et magnifiques jardins. Cependant, le souper était très ordinaire et cher pour ce que nous avions. Aussi, le déjeuner était vraiment de base. En général, l’hotel Était vraiment trop chère pour ce que nous avions en retour.
- Graham (8/5): Solitaire - Not enough staff on for the nimber of guests. Asked for a starter ten minutes later had to ask again. Wanted to visit cheetas in the evening no no one is going later a truck drops people off who had seen cheetas that evening. They tried hard but were not organised
- Margretha (10/5): Great service. - Great service. Quiet and peaceful. We left at 5am for Sossusvlei and were given a large breakfast pack to takeaway as we were too early for the buffet.
- henri (10/5): reposant - On dirait vraiment un petit oasis dans le désert.
Très bon acceuil. Chambre confortable. (Manque un petit frigo) et spacieuse.
Repas au restaurant très bon. Belles baladesà pied à faire dans le coin. Carte disponible à l acceuil.
Je recommande vivement
- Marc (6/5): Hat schon bessere Zeiten gesehen - Wir waren vor 5 Jahren schon einmal in der Solitaire Guest Farm, und das gesamte Hotel war damals in einem deutlich besseren Zustand. Man sieht, dass es in die Jahre gekommen ist. An vielen Stellen wäre ein wenig Instandhaltung nötig. Fliesen sind abgebrochen, Kleinigkeiten, wie z.B. die gefalteten Handtücher bei Ankunft auf dem Bett, sind nicht mehr vorhanden.
Der Pool ist nach wie vor sehr schön, und auch die Lage des Hotels auf dem Weg von Swakopmund in Richtung Windhoek ist wirklich toll.
Das Abendessen ist ein Buffet und wir sind alle satt geworden. Leider war es das auch schon.
Das Frühstück ist reichhaltig und es war für jeden etwas dabei. Uns hat das Frühstück fast besser gefallen, als das Abendessen.
- Helen (10/5): Trivsamt boende i underbart vackra omgivningar. - Först undrade vi vart vi var på väg, men väl framme så låg guest farmen otroligt vackert nedanför en bergskam som övergick i stäpplandskap. En annorlunda men välgjord trädgård med olika kaktusar och stenparti ringade in husen och restaurangen. Rummen är enkla med fläkt, luftkonditionering, sköna sängar och bra badrum. Restaurangdel, bar och pool ligger delvis utomhus. Middagen på kvällen var bra med två kötträtter, ris, grönsaker mm. Frukosten åt vi ute på restaurangterassen på morgonen. Fantastiskt med morgonljuset över landskapet runt omkring och kvittrande fåglar. Poolen verkade inte som om den hölls tillräckligt ren med sitt grumsiga vatten, annars så det trevligt ut runt omkring. Där finns möjlighet att campa och några bättre rum i en länga 50 m från receptionen. Inga stängsel runt omkring så vilda djur som t ex vilda hjortdjur kan hoppa mycket nära. Personal mycket vänlig.
- Janibear2017 (10/5): Nette Lodge mitten im Nirgendwo - Große, schön eingerichtete Zimmer - sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal.
Frühstück und Abendessen ganz in Ordnung, könnte sicherlich noch etwas verbessert werden.
- sarah (8/5): Charming - Wonderful homey atmosphere in beautiful desert setting!
Only complaint is light in rooms, a little dingy. Highly recommended!
- Kai (8/5): Man fühlt sich willkommen - Sehr aufmerksames und motiviertes Personal. Gepflegte Außenanlage mit besonders schönem Pool und tollem Blick über die Ebene. Insgesamt empfehlenswert.
- Oliver (10/5): Entspannung mitten im Nirgendwo - wir haben eine Übernachtung auf dem Weg von Sesriem nach Swakopmund gebucht und waren voll zufrieden. Aufgrund der hohen Temperaturen nutzten wir den kleinen Pool zur Abkühlung. Das Personal war super freundlich und hilfsbereit, das Dinner Menu am Abend sehr lecker. Als Abschluss gab es sogar eine Aufführung der Angestellten. Die Nacht war ruhig und entspannend. Auch das Frühstück war reichhaltig. Das Camp ist empfehlenswert.
- Esther (10/5): Very beautiful and also very friendly staff - We liked it a lot, very beautiful. With very friendly staff! A Perfect place to stay!
- Boots (8/5): Beautiful place - Solitaire desert farm is a beautiful lodge with nice and clean rooms, a good restaurant and nice and helpfull staff!
- Annika (10/5): A true desert retreat - We spent two nights at Solitaire Desert Farm in July and find it to be just what we wanted. After driving several hours on bumpy gravel roads through the desert, this is just the place to unwind. Their rooms are spacious and clean, the staff are helpful, and the ambiance in the dining room area was always warm, inviting and relaxed. Sometimes there was even live music performed by the staff. Food was consistently good but better yet was their nice wine selection by the bottle. Oh and they also have a variety of hiking trails to explore with maps to borrow from the lodge. We'd definitely recommend this if staying near Solitaire, Namibia!
- thanh (8/5): comfortable stay in middle of nowhere - overall, this was a very comfortable stay. there is pretty much NOTHING in solitaire, and this desert farm was like a little comfortable oasis out of nowhere. rooms are large. decent bar. breakfast is free and they even pack you a "take away" when we were trying to get out early, which is nice. they cook dinner that you can purchase (not cheap, no options, no time options), but if you don't eat it, there's no other options in solitaire. wifi only works in lobby and dining room unfortunately
- J.K. (10/5): Very nice place - The place was scenic, the pool had a great view on the landscape, the room was clean and had a nice porch with a great view.
The diner buffet was excellent with lots of meats (including game meat) but the breakfast lacked of sweet options in my opinion (a cake or some sweet breads would have been nice) and the internet was not working the night we were there but that was in no way a problem; in a place like that you want to just enjoy where you are
We actually wished we stayed more
Nice staff too!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Hotel agréable reposant - Arrivé en fin de journée le personnel nous a bien accueilli repas super
- Kathi (8/5): Schönes Hotel als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge - Schöne Guestfarm im Nirgendwo, aber super geeignet als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge. Sehr nettes Personal und toller Service. Der Pool mit Aussicht ist nach einem Tag in der Wüste perfekt!
- Juerg (8/5): Wüste pur! - Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, aufmerksamer Service, sehr stimmiges Wüstenhotel. Den freien Kaffee und Kuchen empfanden wir als nette Geste.
- HITOSHI (10/5): Stay here one night, if you've 2 nights in Sesriem - 農家風の大きな建物だが設備は洗練されている。コーヒーメーカーはない。
C14から7km側道に入るが、緑豊かな場所にFarmはある。庭も見事に手入れされている。砂漠の中のはずなのに、ここだけはという感じ。
コストパフォーマンスが極めて高い。
- Steve (8/5): Pleasant stay. - Nice room, good food, friendly staff, helpful manager. Good for stopover.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nette Anlage mitten im Nirgendwo. - Wir haben die Desert Farm als Ausgangspunkt für einen Besuch des Sossuvleis genutzt, da nichts mehr in der Nähe frei war. Die Anlage ist ordentlich und nett angelegt. Am besten hat uns der atemberaubende Blick in den Sternenhimmel gefallen. Es gibt quasi keine Lichtemission in der Nähe, von daher ideal um Sterne zu gucken. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung und auch vom Abendessen ist man satt geworden. Allerdings sollte man keine zu hohen kulinarischen Ansprüche haben. Es gab Buffet, kein a la Cart Menü. Personal war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Sauberkeit war auch gut. Wir würden durchaus noch einmal buchen. Auch ein guter Ausgangspunkt um in den Naukluft Park zu fahren.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Super Gästefarm als Ausgangspunkt für die Besichtigung des Sossusvlei.
Freundliches Personal, leckeres Essen, netter Pool und schöner angelegter Garten! :)
- Thomas (10/5): Oasis - A nice spot to break up a long drive. Great pool, nice rooms, when wifi works it works well, friendly staff, great buffet dinner. You can't go wrong here. Highly recommend
- Verified traveler (10/5): The best in Namibia - Very good value for money, good food, beautiful and relaxing location of the object, friendly service. I recommend to all. In relation to the much more pricey accomodations this hotel is really great.
