Guest Reviews

Verified traveler (4/5): - Rooms clean and comfortable. A little attention to detail,by the management will make the good. Management forgot to send food from Gabs so staff had nothing to srve in restaurant. Staff need to be empowered to sort out basics like this. You will note by now, that staff try but failure lies at the owners door. Swimming is dry as water gets pumped for miles to the area. Make pool smaller and it might be feasible to fill. The overall place needs maintenance and care as its a bit run down.
Rainer (4/5): - Service nicht vorhanden. Dinner zweifelhaft bis mies. Frühstück: Wenig Brot keine Wurst, kein Käse und keine Marmelade.
Verified traveler (4/5): Disappointed - The whole resort appears to to be run down and derelict. The swimming pool is empty and the whole place unkept. The room was recently refurbished and clean. We were cought out that the online booking said breakfast was included and then when we checkjed in the manager advised us that it was not and we had to pay an additional fee for the breakfast.
Roswitha (2/5): - Wifi provided was good, the room ok, everything else Terrible The pool on thE premises was filled to a puddle ( rain water) All in all : don't go there !!
Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr hübsche Anlage mit großem Pool . Zimmer sehr sauber und groß
Anke (8/5): Gute Unterkunft, verkehrsgünstig gelegen - Die Anlage selbst ist sehr schön, besonders der Pool hat uns gefallen. Die Zimmer sind groß uns hell, das Bett sehr gut. Leider ist der Zustand nicht der allerbeste, das Licht an den Betten und direkt über den Betten ging nicht. Ich hatte es sofort Martin an der Rezeption gesagt, leider hat sich nichts getan. Der Handtuchhalter im Bad war nur Dekomäsig angebracht und ist bei Benutzung sofort zu Boden gefallen. Kleinigkeiten, aber schade drum. Das Abendessen war sehr gut, das Frühstück ( Englisch breakfast) auch sehr gut. Preise sehr an den Deutschen Preisen angelehnt. Insgesamt waren wir positiv überrascht.
MICHAEL (10/5): Du camping au lodge, c'était top ! - Notre nuit de camping au Pelican Lodge and Camping s'est finalement transformée en nuit en chambre très confortable après un enlisement de notre 4x4 dans le Nata Bird Sanctuary situé à une dizaine de kilomètre du lodge. L'accueil a été parfait et toute l'équipe du Pelican Lodge and Camping s'est mobilisée pour nous aider dans notre galère. On y a passé un bon moment et cela nous à permis de rencontrer et discuter avec les guides locaux qui sont géniaux et nous ont vraiment aider. Le personnel est agréable, les installations sont super (on recommande la douche bien chaude au clair de lune dans les chambres équipées d'une baignoire mais aussi d'une douche extérieure). On n'a pas eu le temps de tester la piscine mais elle est grande et très bien entretenue. Le petit déjeuner comme le restaurant sont très corrects. Bref on vous recommande ce lodge pour une étape avant ou après la régions des pans. En tous cas si nous revenons au Botswana, nous y reviendrons sans hésiter !
Verified traveler (8/5): - Friendly welcome. During our 1day stay (03-2019) there were road construction work nearby. Also during the night. The stone-dust cloud was over the campsite. We guess, it will be a nice place, after roadwork completness
Ryan (4/5): - There was no water at the hotel. Couldn’t brush our teeth, take shower, etc the day of our departure. We asked tje staff about this and it appeared to be a regular occurrence. The premises/rooms were nice; however, this really tainted our experience as we had been traveling for many days and couldn’t clean up prior to embarking on our next long road trip to Maun
Arthur (6/5): Basic camp site - I camped - the grounds were a little unkempt, and one of the three amenities blocks was without hot water. The amenity blocks are extremely primitive with only a curtain to the outside world. The shower - while hot - was not all that efficient and there is no where to hang or place clothes. The restaurant was good and wifi was available in the restaurant and lobby area
EA (2/5): Vergane glorie - Hotel en ‘campsites’ zagen er belabberd uit. Slecht onderhouden en niet schoon.
didier (10/5): Bel endroit - La piscine doit être remise en état, manque de propreté pour le reste tout est bien
Max Muetze (2/5): - Hotel genuegt nicht den Anspruechen und enttaeuscht in nahezu allen Belangen
Verified traveler (8/5): größere Anlage etwas ausserhalb - relativ grosses Zimmer mit Kühlschrank und Dusche ausserhalb unter freiem Himmel ;-)
Verified traveler (2/5): Man erkannte unsere Buchung von Expedia nicht. - Im strömenden Regen kamen wir nachmittags in der Pelikan Lodge an. Wollten dann an der Rezeption einchecken. War aber keine Buchung vorhanden. Auch mit Rücksprache über den Manager funktionierte nichts. Er wollte ein Fax an die Zentrale senden. Da wir nun eine halbe Stunde stehen gelassen wurden, schauten wir uns etwas um. Für ein erst 2009 gebautes Haus war es sehr heruntergekommen, muffig und schimmelig in den Ecken. Da wir die einzigen Gäste waren und der Manager es nicht schaffte uns wenigstens ein Zimmer anzubieten, beschlossen wir nach 45 Minuten weiterzufahren. Hatten dann eine tolle Übernachtung in der Nata Lodge.
Gerrit (8/5): Mooi gelegen lodge in de buurt van flamingo park. - Een verblijf van een nacht met veel regen, zwembad zag er heel vies uit, dode kikkers. Het buffet was niet praktisch opgesteld
jan egil (8/5): - Grei plass for overnatting i område Nata, har prøvd verre i dette område.
Carl (6/5): nice and clean place - good size rooms, nice outside shower, nice and good restaurant
Piet (6/5): Basic accomodation - The "traditional chalet" should be considered in the Botswanan sense. A thatched roof plywood hut. However, clean and large. The mosquito nets are not for decoration. The chalets are far from the hotel, perhaps 300 meters from the pool, a long walk in hot loose sand. Mattresses were a bit lumpy.
