Guest Reviews

• Akira (2/5): - No rooms were available for us. They were fully booked! They said Expedia did not contact them! Please refund our payment!
• Mathieu (8/5): Très bien - Wifi disponible. Bon acceuil. Cuisine dispo pour manger un petit bout sur place. Le perroquet est acceuillant :-)
• Ritva (10/5): Tilla's Guesthouse - Tilla's Guesthousessa oli hiljainen ympäristö ja hyvä vuode. Palvelu ( myös ylimääräistä) oli hyvää. Aamiainen myös maittava.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - I had paid for my stay in advance only to find the place fully booked. Had to find alternative accommodation in the middle of the night
• Karen C (8/5): guesthouse - Nice stay & property as it appears on website. Slight hiccup at checkin which was sorted out & we got our 2 rooms as booked. Manager was kind enough to drive us around for a city tour on Sunday - 4 hrs for 400 NAD each person. Very interesting history & tour was good. Also he drove us to the airport for our early flight for a reasonable price.
• Anette (8/5): - Wir konnten bereits um 11:00 Uhr das Zimmer beziehen.
• Maimai (8/5): - アパートメントに宿泊しました。ダブルベッドの部屋とシングルベッド２個の部屋　ダイニングがありました。部屋はとてもきれいです。中心部からは少し離れています。キッチンはありますが調味料は何もありませんでした。　駐車場は狭くてやや駐車しにくかったです。
• Ann (10/5): Ett lugnt och rent boende med servicevänlig person - Ett rent och väl fungerande guest house. Personalen var verkligen serviceminded. Vi bodde här 2 nätter som start på vår campingsemester i Namibia. Rummet vi hade var rent och snyggt och allt fungerade. Till frukosten erbjöd de tom vanligt bryggkaffe, vilket jag uppskattar när jag är långt hemifrån. Guesthouset ligger i en lugn del av Windhoek och bara 100 m därifrån finns ett hotell med restaurangskola. Där fick vi god mat till ett väldigt bra pris. Om man är rörelsehindrad/svårt att gå i trappor så är detta mindre lämpligt, då det är en ganska smal trappa upp till rummen. Det finns små möjligheter att parkera sin bil här också.
• Verified traveler (2/5): - We stayed here one night upon arriving to Windhoek and it was fine - manager is helpful and room was clean, but after we traveled, we decided to return and this was a mistake. The only available room was room 2 on the first floor next to staff quarters, which would have been fine except the a/c didn’t work (no remote to turn it on), mosquitoes the entire night, and the guy who
• Verified traveler (6/5): - they must just show the budget rooms also, because the budget rooms is not on the same property, and is misleading.
• Beatrice (6/5): Für die afrikanischen Verhältnisse war es genügend - Wir konnten das Zimmer aussuchen (nicht zur Strasse), daher war es ruhiger.
• Beatrice (4/5): Zum Glück haben wir dort nur übernachtet. - Als wir um 14 Uhr ankamen, war nur noch ein Zimmer in der Dependance erhältlich, trotz früher Buchung. An der Rezeption versicherte man uns, dass das Zimmer Klimaanlage hat. Es war nur ein Ventilator, der schlecht funktionierte und sehr laut war. Wir sind um fünf Uhr morgens abgereist, man versprach uns eine Frühstückbox, doch das war nur ein Versprechen.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Tilla's Guesthouse is in a great location, the staff was very helpful and friendly, and the room was very comfortable. All-in-all this was a great value.
• Heike (8/5): Preis-Leistung stimmt - Die Unterkunft ist für den Preis absolut in Ordnung. Alles sauber, alles da.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - stadtnahes Guesthouse mit guter Lage zur Innenstadt
• Lindsey (6/5): Simple but good value - In a good location but my guest room was down the street from the actual hotel and bit difficult to find. Parking inside the gate is tight and one can easily be blocked in. Simple room but had all the necessities. No heat (pretty normal for Namibia) so the nights/mornings were cold (visited in winter) but there are additional blankets. Good value for money, but not a fancy place by any stretch.
• Vanda (6/5): Namibia - Guesthouse nuova, camere e sopratutto bagno minuscole, pulito, non molto lontano dal centro. Colazione discreta. Abbiamo avvisato che causa ritardo aereo saremmo arrivati verso le 22. Al nostro arrivo era tutto chiuso, suoniamo il campanello, proviamo a telefonare ma nessuno viene ad aprirci, dopo circa 15 minuti finalmente ci aprono.
• Graham (10/5): - Handy for the city. Good parking, WiFi and a fairly good breakfast. Stayed at the second site nearby and were very well looked after by Malcolm.
• Mariska (6/5): Good enough for an over night stay - The room was a bit small for two very tall people. We only had one bag but it might have been more cramped with more luggage.
• Pierre Yves (10/5): Awesome place - I was very happy with my 3 nights stay at Tilla’s. The staff is friendly and helpful, the room has everything, including tea/coffee kettle, small fridge and working A/C; the internet speed is good, and the breakfasts are fine. The only 2 points, that cannot really be changed, are : 1) It is a bit of a walk from downtown and there are no restaurant or corner store market in the vicinity that I am aware of. 2) it can be a bit noisy at night, because of other customers. This said, I would not hesitate to go back.
• Saaa (8/5): Excellent price quality ratio - We were well taken care of by Tilla and her team. The guest house was peaceful and clean and had all we needed. It was easy to access from the main road.
• Morgane (4/5): - Pas de wifi, chambre dans une autre rue séparée du bloc principal
• Jiri (10/5): Wochenende in Windhuk - War für Wochenende in Windhuk und habe Tillas Guesthous gebucht.Es war perfekte Entscheidung. Team ist super nett und hilfsbereit in jeder Hinsicht. Wer ohne Frühstück gebucht hat kann ohne Probleme für 50 N$ cca3.50 Euro Frühstücken.Also nochmal vielen dank an Team für meine Zeit in Windhuk
• inge (8/5): leuk appartement. - Mooi ruim opgezet niet ver van centrum. Alleen niet schoon in de keukenkastjes.
• Lev Kalashnikov (10/5): A place to stay at Winhoek - Very nice place with awesome hosts. A really nice family runs this hotel and always very helpful in any equerries we had. Also, the rooms were cleaned everyday. You'll get fridge, AC, really clean bathroom and TV with (I guess, satellite). Also, on the territory they have a nice conference room, where you can held a meeting for 20-30 people. The wifi signal everywhere is solid and fast. Also, they have a beautiful parrot, who can say some English words)) The location is in a intellectual place - some universities you can find there. Also, the names of the streets around are Bach, Beethoven, Strauss and other great musicians) Overall - great place! Highly recommended.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Gut als Start- oder Endpunkt einer Namibiareise - Zimmer relativ klein, aber sauber. Im Bad fehlen Handtuch- und Duschtuchhalter. Frühstück sehr basic. Es gibt Hotels, die zentraler liegen, aber 2 km bis ins Zentrum sind ok. Sicherer Parkplatz auf dem Hof. Gratis WiFi, das funktioniert! Auch auf dem Zimmer.
• Naka (8/5): Nice hotel for short stay, breakfast minimal - We stayed for one night. We requested two rooms but when we arrived they only had one in the main building. We were put up in an apartment a few blocks from the main building. The apartment was clean, and had enough supplies. We liked the apartment very much. We drove back to the main building for breakfast, which was fine, but the breakfast is somewhat minimal.
• Shin (4/5): Cheep but It's all. - so dirty coffee pot. Unbelievely small bathroom. fuxxing slow wi-fi. Poor and expensive pick-up service.
• Amilcar (8/5): Ambiente familiar - Atendimento muito simpático e acolhedor. Com pequeno almoço muito bom e agradável.
• raja (8/5): Decent accomodation inside the city. - We did have a minor hiccup for allotting one single bed instead of 2 as per our booking. The owners admitted the mistake by their staff while entering particulars and corrected the situation in quick time. For breakfast, they ensured we had adequate vegetarian food. overall friendly assistance.
• J (8/5): Overall good with some small problems - A very good place to stay in Windhoek, only a 1.5km walk to city centre. The manager and staff were friendly and helpful. The toilet in my room did not work terribly well, nor did many or of the power outlets. Other than that a fine stay.
• Paulo (6/5): Bom custo beneficio - Bom hotel,boa localizacao,bom custo beneficio,pessoa gentil
• Michael (8/5): Highly recommended. - Excellent hosts and a grand breakfast.
• Verified traveler (6/5): - The staff was super friendly and the room was neat and clean. There was no hot water when we used the showers which made the stay less pleasant
• Hans Norbert (10/5): Real value for money place. - Basic, but more than enough. Real value for money og good service.
• Grey (8/5): Clean, friendly, and centrally located - The breakfast wasn't great, but the staff is laid back, accommodating, and friendly. The room was comfortable and very clean. Good beds too.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Prima guesthouse, rustige buurt op loopafstand van - Prettig guesthouse waar het goed toeven is. Zeer attent, vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel.
• DOCTOR (10/5): very clean - it was so amazing.
• Arnoud (4/5): Not the best around. - This guesthouse was just ok. It was a 15 minute walk to the city center, there weren't any restaurants or shops nearby, but the surroundings are quite peaceful and quiet. The guesthouse offers stable wifi. The room wasn't very clean (the sink was clogged, the shower didn't always have warm water and needed cleaning), the walls were paper thin, breakfast was very minimal. Staff actually didn't care about maintaining the rules and when the hotel shuttle to take me to the airport didn't show up, staff couldn't care less. So I guess this place is just what you should expect given what you pay for it. I'll stay at a better place next time.
• Alexander (8/5): Clean, comfortable, convenient..... - A very comfortable B&B at a reasonable price. Residential area close to the city centre and several good restaurants. Very acceptable for a short stay.
• Aline Medeiros Saavedra (10/5): Ótimo - O hotel é maravilhoso e ase donas são pessoas excelentes, que fazem de tudo para fazer da sua viagem algo inesquecível.
• Gregg (6/5): They preserve the spirit of a safari - The rooms are big, clean, AC. But it was difficult to operate the refrigarator. The TV channels didn´t work, looks like they didn´t pay. The bathroom had running water but the shower didn´t work properly. No soap nor shampoo
• Verified traveler (8/5): 20 minute walk to town centre - Great aircon on very hot days! Comfortable bed. Staff okay (could be friendlier and more welcoming) but helpful when assistance requested. **As stated by another guest, the address does not match the location. The entrance is located on Beethoven and not Strauss, making it a bit frustrating to find
• Robert (8/5): - My group and I had a good time at Tilla's. We were fortunate to have booked there as the working room was great for us to meet in an have discussions. Tilla and her family and staff were very friendly and very accommodating and helped us repeatedly with various requests. Would definitely go back.
• Ursula (10/5): STAY AT TILLA'S GUESTHOUSE - My friend and I were very happy with our stay. The staff went out of their way for us. We also had a nice breakfast every morning.
• Orix (8/5): Friendly and kind staff. Address confusing. - The owner let us use her cell phone for our emergency oversea calls. They also let us use parking space inside the gate which is more secure than outside.
• keko (8/5): 親切なスタッフ、普通の部屋 - どうしても日本に電話をかける必要がある時、スタッフ（オーナー）が電話を貸してくれ、無事に用事を済ますことができました。 また、レンタカー屋までタクシーを使おうとしたところ、ホテルの車で連れて行ってくれました。
• Ketevan (10/5): Great value in residential Windhoek - Small, clean room with TV and nice bathroom. We stayed in a room with twin beds instead of a double. Had a mini fridge and cold drinking water. In a residential neighborhood of Windhoek, but easily accessible by car to the center. Wifi was fast enough to stream Netflix. Breakfast included in the morning was hot and filling, eggs, bacon and boerwoers. Coffee was an instant mix with hot water. Parking was behind a secure gate, but you must wait for staff to open it for you. Difficult to find in the dark, but there are lots of signs (entrance isn't on the corner, not the road of the address). Desk is staffed 24/7 but it's a family establishment, so we once had to wait 5 minutes because on-duty staff was taking a shower.
