Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nothing really, although I think the service at the bar was awesome.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean and friendly staff. Place is beautiful and kept very organized. Pool area amazing.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very clean and quiet. Friendly environment with excellent service.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - nettes Personal, saubere Zimmer, lecker Frühstück, Transferservice
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Staff talked loudly at night.
Most primitive breakfest.
Cheap in every respect.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr sauber, gute Lage um direkt nach Norden und Süden weiterzufahren, bewachter Parkplatz mit großem Tor davor. Das Frühstück war vielfältig.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Zu wenig Parkfläche. Nettes hilfsbereites Personal. Leider im Hintergrund eine Hauptverkehrsstrasse.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr geeignet für einen kurzen Aufenthalt bei An- oder Abreise nach/von Windhuk. Die Zimmer sind geräumig und sauber, das Frühstück gut. Allerdings sollte für die Parkplatzsituation eine Lösung gefunden werden, sollten mehrere SUV oder größere Autos gleichzeitig dort parken wollen, wird es eng und es ist einiges hin und her rangieren nötig.
- Patrizia (10/5): - Das Hotelpersonal war sehr freundlich und hilfsreich, die Lage sicher und mit dem Auto gut erreichbar
- Tunino (6/5): - This is a very basic sleep over B&B with not much to offer other than just sleeping. The bed was comfortable enough but the shower is just a cubicle in the room and the toilet has two cupboard doors throug which one goes to access the toilet.
The establishment is located in a neighborhood not suited for a B&B
The breakfast was okay even though I only had two fried eggs and toast. It’s a case of getting what you paid for.
- Frank (8/5): Gut für eine Nacht, wenn man sein eigenes Auto hat - Die Unterkunft liegt am Stadtrand in unmittelbarer Nähe zur Ringstrasse. Somit etwas Verkehrslärm. Hinzu kommen die Strassenköter, die die ganze Nacht bellen. Unser Zimmer lag im ersten Stock, andere Zimer sind möglicherweise weniger betroffen. Dafür hat man oben nicht den Trubel von der Rezeption und vom Frühstücksraum. Das Frühstück selbst war sehr gut und reichhaltig.
Ich wollte ein Taxi zur Innenstadt, und mir wurde mitgeteilt, einfach in Richtung Stadt zu laufen, dort fände ich schon eins.
Bestellen ging nicht, weil man keine Telefonnummer habe. Insgesamt wenig Interesse von Seiten des Personals mit Ausnahme der Köchin.
- Kelley (8/5): Comfortable Guesthouse - Clean rooms and a nice place to spend the night before flying out. A little loud at night with kids screaming and running around until midnight though.
- Heinz (6/5): Hotelzimmer in Stadtnähe - Dies war nur für eine Übernachtung da wir am nächsten Tag zurückflogen.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - 1. a modern style room which is very clean and safe
2. a set of necessary amenities are provided
3. hospitality of staff - not just friendly, but very flexible - (I had to leave at very early in the morning for my flight. Since it is way before the breakfast time, they have provided box breakfast for me to take away at the check out!)
- Heinz (6/5): Hübsche Unterkunft in Stadtnähe - Das Schlimmste war die Sucherei bis wir die Unterkunft fanden. Die Hausnummer war mit 15 falsch angegeben ist 1505.
Wir sind nur eine Nacht geblieben und haben in Joes Bierhaus gegessen (uriges Lokal)
- Hermien (2/5): Hotel in Windhoek - Bad area Wrong street number Never slept gate keep on opening and closing Door in room did not close Bright light and staff noise Breakfast could not serve what was on the menu Overall very bad experience
- Steven (10/5): - Personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam gezien we laat toekwamen mochten we onmiddelijk de kamer in en werd de checkin pas de volgende ochtend geregeld. Ontbijt was lekker verzorgd evenals de kamer.
- Pärchen (6/5): Für eine Übernachtung ausreichend - Lage praktisch und wirkte sicher. Frühstück war ganz gut. Für eine Nacht nach oder vor dem Flug absolut ausreichend, insbesondere bei dem günstigen Preis.
Die Toilette im Zimmer ist nicht so toll.
Die Tür klapperte bei jeder Bewegung und da wir direkt beim Frühstücksraum mit großem Kühlschrank schliefen, war es auch sonst nicht gerade leise.
Grundsätzlich mangelt es an Kleinigkeiten, wie Harken für die Handtücher und Komfort überhaupt. Für einen längeren Aufenthalt daher meiner Meinung nach, nicht geeignet.

- Herman (10/5): Pleasant Stay - Friendly service, clean & convenient location
- Andy (10/5): Great stay. Thank you - Lovely place, very safe and friendly, would stay again, highly recommend. Probably best to have a car.
- Angelique (10/5): fijn en rustig hotel. Alles ontzettend schoon. - Dit was onze eerste nacht in Namibia. Erg vriendelijk ontvangst, erg behulpzaam personeel. De kamer en het hotel is zo ontzettend netjes en schoon! De douche ook erg netjes, het bed comfortabel. Het ontbijt is al voldoende qua keus en dan mag je nog een 'hot breakfast' dus eieren, spek, etc. bijbestellen. Jammer dat wij er te kort waren en 's ochtends weer vroeg op doorreis gingen. Wij hadden wel gebruik willen maken van de bar, loungeruimte op de 1e verdieping en het zwembadje.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice staff. Everything was good. Service excellent. .!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Markus (8/5): Angenehmer Aufenthalt - Neueres Guesthouse mit grossen, geräumigen und sauberen Zimmern und bequeme Betten. Das Bad mit Toilette ist Halb-Abgetrennt und daher etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, dies hat uns aber nicht gestört. Unser Zimmer lag direkt neben dem Frühstücksraum, war aber trotzdem ruhig. Die Anlage ist umzäunt, für das Parking-Tor erhält man einen Schlüssel, wir fühlten uns sehr sicher. Mit dem Auto gut erreichbar. Freundliche Mitarbeiter. Die Koffer mussten wir selber „schleppen“, was über diverse Treppen etwas umständlich war. Das Frühstück bot ein reichliches Angebot und war lecker.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Komfortables Guesthouse am Rande von Windhoeck - Wir haben im Discovery Guesthouse die Nacht vor dem Weiterflug verbracht. Der Empfang und auch das restliche Servicepersonal sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sauber. Ein bisschen ringhörig. Aber das gehört in dieser Region dazu. Alles in allem: die Preis-/Leistung stimmt.
- Rainer (10/5): Very good hotel - Very friendly staff, nice and clean rooms, very good price
- Jaroslav (10/5): Agréable et pratique. - Belle maison, un peu distante du centre ville mais pratique avec les taxis. Personnel très amical et serviable.
- Ashraf (10/5): Very satisfied - Beautiful, spacious room, clean, helpful friendly staff. Quiet area. Full breakfast. 5-7 minutes to the city by taxi ( cost about $10-20 Namibian dollars)
- Jane (8/5): Happy in Windhoek - Comfortable spacious rooms. Modern decor, convent to downtown.
- Lady (10/5): Excelente Custo-benefício - O
Discovery Guest house foi um excelente custo-benefício. Surpreendeu na limpeza, instalações, atendimento e ótimo café da manhã (Considerando que é uma habitação econômica). Recomendo!
- Verified traveler (10/5): VERY NICE AND VERY SAFE - GREAT EXPERIENCE. THE STAFF WAS VERY HELPFUL. EVERYONE WAS OUTSTANDING. HOTEL WAS VERY CLEAN.
- Francisco (10/5): Quartos limpos e amplos com bom estacionamento. - Ótimo local para ficar, muito seguro todo cercado. Tudo muito limpo. Atendimento de primeira. Quartos ótimos e amplos. Café da manhã excelente e com omelete feito na hora a seu gosto! Adorei! Altamente recomendável!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Offers potential but not a place for me - I travel a lot and have experienced a number of places that just "miss the mark". This is one of them. The rooms are spacious, clean and have everything you need - fridge, coffee, kettle, a nice shower, hot water and fresh linen etc. The staff are friendly and the property is modern with a swimming pool and ample parking.
But it misses the mark in a number of ways. First the room is odd in that the toilet is part of the room, and although tucked away behind a separating wall, it has no door. Fine if in your room alone but I'd find that awkward if I was sharing. Secondly the mattress was a foam mattress - a good one mind you - but not great for your back if you sleep on your stomach.
The design of the guest house has many of the rooms opening to the breakfast area - so forget about sleeping past about 06h30 when the breakfast area is being prepared. Rooms closer to reception suffer from the noise of arriving guests and the rumble of the electric gate. So this is not a place for light sleepers but great for those who are up at the crack of dawn and sleep deeply.
The guest house is located a short distance from the city centre and I was happy with the location having a hire car. It's not within walking distance of restaurants although a bit down the road is a petrol station shop and a small supermarket.
I would not stay here again and it's a pity because I can see the owners have gone to a lot of trouble to make it a nice guesthouse. It's just not a design for me.
- GaSo (8/5): excellent hôtel d'étape - Nuit d'étape agréable, excellente literie, au calme.
Petit-déjeuner correct.
Arrivés de nuit et repartis en début de matinée, pas eu le temps de tester plus longuement les autres infrastructures!
- Verified traveler (10/5): Sehr sauberes Hotel - Wir hatten ein sehr sauberes Zimmer und wurden nett in Empfang genommen. Gerne wieder.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nieuw ruim, televisie, wifi, airconditioning. - Prima guesthouse, vrij nieuw gebouwd huis, met zwembad, ruime kamers.
Niet helemaal de puntjes op de I, geen spiegel in de badkamer bijv.
Wel een ligbad en een douche, fijne wifi.
Ligt iets buiten t centrum.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Fijn om te overnachten, nieuw gebouw, supermarkt - Fijn verblijf, goede grote kamer en fijne badkamer alleen spiegel boven de wastafel ontbrak.
Nieuw guesthouse, heerlijk ontbijt.
Er had wat meer gevoel voor inrichting kunnen zijn , leek nogal op mannen" inrichting.
Goede airconditioning.
- Álvaro (10/5): Perfecta parada en Windhoek - El hotel está muy nuevo, es muy funcional y ?l personal es muy amable y siempre con una sonrisa. No está en el centro de Windhoek (el centro no es para tirar cohetes) pero a 10 minutos en coche de cualquier sitio
- Verified traveler (6/5): kitchen staff not very helpful. - The place was fine, kitchen staff not very helpful.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Transit stay - Booking was for a stopover before continuing my journey early the next day. Well located for access to the highway.
The hotel itself was new and well presented with comfortable beds. There is however no control over other residents as people located alongside me returned after a night out and proceeded to make loud noise until about 1:45am with no intervention from staff.
- Jeanetta (4/5): - We were honestly tempted to move to another hotel on the afternoon of our arrival. The ladies working in the lobby were talking where we could hear everything and I had to ask them to be quiet so my husband could rest. The hotel is build lovely in "a modern new look" but not well thought through. The title floors and the door have big gap between them This creates noise through out the hotel! We could hear everything from a cell phone, conversations, other guests and the kitchen preparing food. It is sad because I believe they are really trying to do a great job. The staff needs more training but it is obvious they care and want to do the right thing. I wish the best for this new business. We will not return.
- SH (8/5): Für die erste/letzte Übernachtung ok. - Das Guesthouse kann für die erste bzw. letzte Nacht für eine Rundreise gebucht werden. Für längere Aufenthalte jedoch nicht da keine nennenswerte Dinge gibt die dieses befürworten. Zimmer ok inkl. Kühlschrank. Die Mitarbeiter sind eher schläfrig, die Lage nicht gerade perfekt. Ein Supermarkt in unmittelbarer Nähe. Positiv das wir nach dem langen Flug eher einchecken konnten.
- WT (10/5): - Friendly staff, modern establishment. large, clean and airy rooms. Comfortable. Secure off street parking.
- Sean (8/5): Awesome Stay - Great Thank you
- Roelien (8/5): - Great place to stay.
- Nina (10/5): Friendly stay - We just stayed one night as we were flying from Windhoek the next morning. The service was great, the staff helped us book a restaurant for dinner and organised transport to the restaurant as well as transport to the airport. The room was very nice and clean. Good value for money
