Guest Reviews

• Silvia&Wolfgang (8/5): - sehr freundliche Personal unheimlich netter, zuvorkommender, hilfsbereiter Besitzer, sehr gutes Essen, Umgebung landschaftlich sehr schön.
• Michael (8/5): Empfehlenswert, Frühstück war gut - Toller Ausblick Dinner war mäßig
• Marta (10/5): Idealny - Wspaniały widok na pustynię, przemiła obsługa, pyszne jedzenie, ścieżki na pobliskie skały, cudowny relaks, polecam
• harris (1/5): Never again - Absolutely horrible people. Thieves. Recommend highly you don’t stay here because if anything goes wrong they will screw you The management
• planchke (8/5): -
• Brandon (9/5): -
• Vicky (6/5): Zeer rustig gelegen maar aan verniewing toe - Uitzicht van het terras van de kamer en de rustige ligging Ontbijt heel beperkt en zwembad is aan verniewing toe
• Yasmin (9/5): Mitten in der Natur - Die Lage der Lodge war super - man ist mitten in der Natur, ein gibt ein kleines Waterhole und einen Pool. Abends kann man super den Sternenhimmel beobachten. Man fährt ca 2-2,5std nach Sossusvlei(über Gravel & Asphalt Straßen). Das Personal ist sehr nett und hat uns sehr gute Tipps für unseren weiteren Stopps gegeben. Hat uns nicht sehr gestört, aber die Einrichtung der Zimmer ist nicht die modernste. Es ist dennoch sehr sauber.
• Rod (10/5): Base in Namib desert - Comfortable base in desert, enjoyed pool, breakfasts good, good bird viewing, remarkable area. Bit expensive
• Alta (10/5): - Excellent stay at Naukluft Lodge. We had dinner at the Lodge and did their daytrip to Sossusvlei. We really enjoyed our stay. Only 12 rooms, so really received personal care and attention. Thanks for everything.
• Cornelius (7/5): -
• Sara (9/5): - Abbiamo cenato di fronte ad un tramonto spettacolare: tutto illuminato a candela. Non c'è un menu, ma viene tutto cucinato intorno ad un braciere da uno chef e puoi scegliere tra poche pietanze ma molto saporite! Bagno semplice e pulito, stanza dotata dei comfrot necessari e pulito.
• Marita (6/5): The location of the lodge is beautiful - The food was very good and we enjoyed dinner outside The rooms were old and needs renovating..
• Peter (9/5): Kann man empfehlen - Das Hotel liegt etwas abseits der Straße. Es hat gutes Essen und freundliches Personal. Die Ausstattung der Zimmer ist in Ordnung. Es gibt nichts wirklich zu beanstanden.
• Andrea (8/5): schöne Unterkunft mit tollem Personal und einmaligem ausblick - Abendessen und Aussicht von der Terrasse waren überragend - sehr nette Mitarbeiter. Zimmer leider etwas dunkel
• Baptiste (10/5): -
• Evelyne (8/5): -
• Marthie (4/5): -
• Richard (8/5): -
• Sagar (9/5): - Everything was fantastic, the dinners were delicious, the staff were kind and very helpful, plus the organisation of the excursions was simply great! Would highly recommend this place to anyone who's planning on visiting Sossusvlei.
• balazs (9/5): Very recommended for stopover, very charming, very good people, tasty food, bit pricey - Beutiful setting, very kind helpful staff Bit far from everywhere
• Pierre (9/5): Superb -
• Pierre (9/5): Superb -
• Peter (8/5): Terrific place en route to the Sossusvlei - The place is completely hidden from the road, after a short drive you discover this oasis. Cars can be parked under a roof, and the rooms and bathrooms are a bit spartan but very okay. The staff is great! On the first night we joined a bbq under the stars in a secluded area, the second night we had a fixed dinner which was also very good. The pool area is super. Sunsets were wonderfull. Don’t forget to stop at the bakery in Solitaire. There sell a lot more then their apple pie! A bit spartan, but hey … you re in the middle of the desert.
• Balmer (6/5): Beautiful sunsets, delicious dinner - Beautiful location, super friendly staff, our room could have been more modern but we were told others had been modernisef
• Emily (10/5): An oasis in the desert - Absolutely beautiful location with our rooms, pool and breakfast having fantastic views over the desert. The photos don’t do it justice. Everyone was so welcoming and the location was great to drive from Windhoek and close enough to get up early and head to Sousselvlei for a sunrise walk. Amazing stars at night and a lovely 4 course meal for supper. Thank you for our lovely stay.
• Lezanne (9/5): Absolutely stunning stay in the desert - Views, views and more views. The staff were warm and welcoming and the 4 course dinner spectacular and a treat.
• Johan (8/5): Great experience, loved BBQ, staff fantastic and very friendly. Just property and rooms a bit dated. - Pool and relaxing area! Views and location Rooms and central area a bit worn
• Luis (9/5): Awesome stay - Excellent breakfast, and very good service
• Dwi (8/5): Great stay 😁 - The receptionist was really friendly and took us to our room. We left early in the morning and he gave us breakfast boxes since we didn’t have time to have breakfast on the spot. The sunset was really beautiful and at night we can see the milky way. The room was spacious and the wifi signal was okay in the room. The view from the pool was superb, though the pool wasn’t really clean 😅 You can also climb the rock hill beside the lodge. They don’t provide drinking water in the room. So bring along your drinking water with you.
• Arthur (10/5): - Eine Oase in Namib, einfach empfehlenswert
• Monica (10/5): Don’t hesitate to book! - Amazing location, lodge was fantastic. Cannot fault this lodge in any way - staff were exceptional, rooms were large and well equipped, breakfast and dinners were amazing. Best lodge we stayed in the whole of our Namibia trip.
• Moro-esperidis (9/5): Excellent and wish we had booked for a longer stay, - We had a breakfast pack for us as we left very early in the morning, the breakfast was great! Nothing not to like, all was perfect!
• Ingo (8/5): Good lodge fairly close to Sossusvlei in truely awesome desert setting. A bit overpriced. - Awesome setting that is really hard to beat. The design of the place integrated into a rocky desert is just perfect. Staff is friendly and helpful. Dinner was really very good. Packed (but a bit minimalistic) breakfast available if you want to leave early for Sossusvlei. Value for money is not great, the place is very expensive. You clearly pay a high premium for the location and being just about in reach for visiting Sossusvlei (but count on driving an hour on badly corrugated roads in the dark). The rooms and also breakfast are decent, but not the luxury standard which you would expect for the price.
• Federico (10/5): Authentic and relaxing lodge - Lodge with the most beautiful sunset seen in Namibia. The room has a classic style, spacious and with animals that approach near the lodge. There is also an artificial waterhole with a post for animal sighting. The dinner both inside and outside was fantastic. Highly recommended. Nothing
• David (10/5): Exceptional - The place is exceptional, the location is the best we experienced in this part of Namibia and this is the best value for money. The dinner in the boma was the best buffet meal we have had compared to other larger and much more expensive lodges! I highly recommend this place. The website does not do this place justice, such a wonderful surprise, thoroughly enjoyed it! We only spent one night unfortunately.
• Christoph (10/5): - Vielen Dank an Kai und sein Team um Manager Thorsten. Unser Aufenthalt war von Anfang bis Ende einfach nur traumhaft!! Wir kommen gerne wieder, wenn es das nächste Mal in Richtung Sossusvlei geht.
• John (9/5): Superb -
• Madelyn (8/5): Beautiful and serene - Great location. Peaceful. Friendly staff. Great food.
• Ellen (6/5): Pleasant - The location is very beautiful. The dinner was one of the best we had in Namibia. Rooms and swimming pool are getting old and we missed atmosphere. Breakfast was very simple. Worst we’ve made a half board reservation paid upfront. Unfortunately for the owner half board means only breakfast, and he asked us to pay for the dinner again which was a very unpleasant experience since this lodge was already pretty expensive price-quality in comparison with other places we stayed. In the end he said that he will pay for the dinner himself and left us with a bad feeling.
• Patience (9/5): A Beautiful, great & good stay. A must visit in Sesriem. - The property was in Beautiful & tranquil setting.The swimmingpool was perfectly situated with exceptional view of the landscape. Perfect opportunity to connect with nature and relax. The overall design of the property and location fitted the surrounding Nature. The concept and design was perfect. It all matched well. I had a great stay. The tours/excursions available at the property are great. I did all of them. They were beautiful and worth it. A must do for all. I spent many days there, and I had a great time. Food was a big let down, and the reason for my down-rating. I came to Namibia to experience everything Namibian but the food overall was bad, apart from one night with grill. The night with grill was really great. Each night offered a five course meal. The food was without taste, not local or authentic. To say the least it was disappointing! Breakfast is as breakfast will be with limited options but dinner was bad!
• Onlinebp (9/5): Superb -
• Anthony (10/5): A great place to arrive, stay and relax - Amazingly friendly, becoming a part of the family, comfortable room, great food, extraordinary location All perfect
• Olivier (10/5): Very nice hotel for visiting sossusvlei - I was in the hotel for the second time after 2017. the hotel is stil very nice clean and well maintained. very good food and the landscape is fantastic Nice pool to cool down as well We will be back nothing
• Seif (9/5): Superb -
• Barbro (9/5): Relaxing stay in a very nice lodge. - Excellent staff. Eriksson and Kai most helpful and service minded and with outstanding knowledge about birds and animals. We saw a lot of wildlife from our patio: oryx, wildebeest, springbook, jackal and many different kind of birds. Dinners in the evening under the stars. Food was very good. No wifi in the rooms, only around the restaurant and reception area, but that was not a big issue.
• Renshaw (10/5): Lovely, family-run lodge - great place to relax and unwind following a visit to Sossusvlei - Lovely location and super friendly staff. Great to be able to book a family room that had everything we needed. Dinner and breakfast were both delicious. Overall, a great value.
• Chungsung (8/5): Very good - The hotelier was very kind to help us to plan next plan to Sousslim
• Michael (10/5): Such a memorable time. - Staff and setting were exceptional. All good.
• Hannah (10/5): Exceptional - great and tidy place to stay friendly staff and perfect food! Thank you so much :)
• Alfred (10/5): One of the very best places in this region! - Very few lodges have a view like Naukluft Lodge. It is located about 45 minutes from Sossusvlei, right by the Naukluft Mountains, precisely on the border between the Hardap and Khomas regions. The panorama and tranquility are overwhelming. From the terrace of each room, you can gaze across the vast savannah and a striking mountain backdrop on the distant horizon. Sometimes in the evening, a large herd of wildebeest comes right in front of the lodge to drink from the water. Oryx are scattered in the wide steppe grass. The lodge is very well-equipped. The brick bungalows are comfortable and stand out for the breathtaking view from the private terrace. A small pool with a shaded seating area provides cooling. The breakfast buffet is rich and sufficient, and the dinner is an excellent 4-course menu. The lodge offers shaded parking spaces for vehicles. The staff is extraordinarily friendly and attentive. We spent two nights here, and I will definitely come back.
• Oscar (8/5): A nicely located lodge with very friendly staff and good food whichever would recommend for a stay when visiting Sossusv - The lodge is in a very nice location next to a small rocky hill looking into the beautiful dessert countryside. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with all questions. The served menu was delicious and it was also possible to order it in a vegetarian version. We had a family room which was ok, but we thought it would need some renovation i.e. could be more modern and comfortable for the price.
• Michelle (9/5): The owners and all their staff were exceptional. Friendly and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble and really fri - Everything was neat and tidy. The views are out of this world.
• Esubalew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Cody (10/5): Awesome spot in the Namib Desert - Great place out in the desert, isolated and beautiful. Our weather was quite windy but all the staff were very accommodating and adapted quickly to any issues. The management was very helpful as well.
• Matthew (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ondrej (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful environment, amazing food, excellent staff and manager
• Jatta (9/5): Superb -
• Vogel (9/5): Superb -
• Karen (10/5): Great experience, friendly staff, awesome ! - The setting of this property is outstanding, beautiful sunset and sunrise, views of a waterhole and the plain with different animals. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The manager gave us some great advice about activities to do and pointed out lots of different animals/birds to us. There are walking trails around the property too. The food was great and all included with the room which was extremely reasonable. Highly recommend this property, we stayed as a stopover on our way to the Dune 45 wished we had had time for one more night here😊
• Kgaugelo (8/5): Very good - If you intend to go to a place in the middle of nowhere. Quiet and beautiful? That's the spot for you
• Jeannine (8/5): highly recommend close to Solitaire friendly helpful manager Kai - great location , nice room lovely pool area. really top quality meals and lovely breakfast also great sundowner drive.
• David (10/5): super relaxing , super fun. The sundowner was a real highlight - The Staff were awesome , made you feel very welcome. Shout out to Erickson and Martin . Food good and nice facilities
• Roger (10/5): Great Staff and awesome views - Stopped for the night on our way to Swakopmund. Room was nice and big for a family of 4. Excellent wifi and water pressure which is a huge plus for such an isolated place. Food at the lodge is also very good. From our verandar we were able to see animals roaming the plains and wildebeests drinking from the waterhole. Sunset rock on the property is also a nice spot to see the surrounding area and makes for great pics and viewing. The best part about the property is the way the staff treat and care for you during the stay. Only regret about this lodge is that we only stayed for a night.
• Kh19599 (1/5): BE CAREFUL. You will be overcharged. - Nothing I was overcharged in my bill by owner way more. And I saw he was trying to overcharge others too. Very condensing owner. Location is really far from anything, so isolated and nothing significant about it. They are not helpfull to pick up or drop off.
• Pienaar (9/5): Superb -
• Mary (10/5): Exceptional - The staff at the lodge are warm, knowledgeable, and helpful. They went out of their way to ensure our stay was comfortable. Erikson is a delightful dinner host, Werner is a phenomenal guide, and Kai and Jahni run a great lodge.
• Eszter (9/5): Superb -
• Verified traveler (6/5): Preis/Leistung ungenügend - Hotelpersonal hat sich mehr um das eigene Wohl gekümmert, Preis/Leistung woanders besser
• Gernot (10/5): Unbedingt zu empfehlen - Eine wunderschöne Lodge in phantastischer Umgebung. Komfortable Häuschen, schöner Pool, akzeptable Preise für Getränke und Speisen. Insgesamt gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
• John (10/5): Great, affordable pleasant place! - Nice location - look it's an hour drive to the gate into Sesreim/Sossuflei from here, but for the savings vs the lodges right at the gate or in the park, well worth it! Lovely place, clean, friendly staff. Enjoyed a great dinner at the outdoor boma the night we were there. Nice views all around!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - we are impressed for the dinner, excellent. the location is also great.
• Margie (10/5): Stunning views and excellent service! - The lodge is in a beautiful setting - the view from the patio is gorgeous and the stars in the desert sky are amazing! The staff was very accommodating for my party and they provided excellent service. I definitely recommend the Namib-Naukluft Lodge!
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful place, area Would have loved to stay mire time
• Verified traveler (6/5): Decent stay - Gorgeous views in a stunning part of the world. This is a three star property so align your expectations accordingly. The dinner is a bit of a rip-off but they are taking advantage of a captive audience, and there are no other options for miles around.
• Nicolas (8/5): Stunning view - poor service - The stay was overall great, but just because we found out all information ourselves. The information from the staff (except the manager) was very poor and they also did not seem to be very interested in us, not explaining activities we asked for, etc. All in all a great stay because of the stunning view and good (but expensive) food, but definitely the poorest staff and service performance we had in our Namibia stay.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Tolle Lodge - Einfach toll mit sehr liebes Personal. Wir würden sicher wieder kommen.
• Verified traveler (10/5): Geweldige ligging met een fantastisch uitzicht - Vooral de ligging is geweldig. Keuze diner is beperkt maar kwaliteit is goed. Ontbijt wel wat sober.
• Axel (8/5): Schöne Lage - Total ruhige Lage am Rand der Namib, wir hatten einen schönen Sonnenuntergang gesehen (ist natürlich Wetterabhängig), jedes Zimmer hat weiten Ausblick in die Landschaft. Eine günstige Unterkunft ein 1 Stunde vom Eingang zu Sossusvlei.
• Olaf (10/5): Eine tolle Lodge mit Ruhe und Weitblick... - Wir kamen gegen 14.00 Uhr von Sossusvlei an bei 35 Grad und wurden sehr freundlich begrüsst. 10 Minuten später hatte ich es mir am erfrischenden Pool gemütlich gemacht und den Blick (ca. 80 km weit) genossen. Es war perfekt!
