Guest Reviews
- Peter (9/5): -
- Shumani (9/5): Very friendly staff but the mosquitoes were a big problem when sitting outside @ the restaurant - It’s by the main road and there is public transport and walking distance to Nearby shops It’s by the chobe river bank
- Ben (8/5): -
- Bea-Marie (8/5): -
- Jacqueline (8/5): Wenn weniger Leute da sind sind die Kellner nicht so aufmerksam ansonsten gern wieder - Die Unterkunft ist gut gelegen . Es gibt ein Restaurant mit sehr guter Pizza . Wir haben zwei Ausflüge über die Unterkunft gebucht die sehr gut waren .
- Wild Cherry (7/5): Okay for a night - Location, close to town. Enjoyed some of the furniture items. Liked also the paintings. The stay was okay for one night, but a few details could easily be improved. The shower curtain is the type that sticks to you while showering – something many guests really dislike. The toilet seat kept sliding from side to side. The room is also very noisy and you can clearly hear what neighbours are doing. The outside light right next to the room could not be switched off and stayed on all night. In addition, the door was quite difficult to lock properly. Another thing to note is that reception is only staffed until 5 pm, which may be inconvenient for guests arriving later or needing assistance in the evening. With a few small improvements the place could be much more comfortable.
- Gordon (6/5): The room is old and dated but comfortable and the jury is out on whether it was value for money. - From the check-in process to the room was all good. The dinner was tasty and good. Never ask for a breakfast pack when leaving. 3 boiled eggs, an apple, an orange and a pear. The previous evening guests were stopped from entering for purposes of the restaurant. They were told the restaurant is full and can not accommodate more people. Staying there, I entered with a totally empty restaurant. I asked the question as to why people were shown away - the response was that the kitchen and he (the waiter) needed a break as they just had 14 guests the night before. It was green season so owners were travelling however I am sure that would not condone any of the above.
- Cecilia (8/5): A short, yet very enjoyable visit. - Location was excellent, close to the river - and the overall vibe was great. It feels like you're really in the jungle, with lots of interesting birds and even warthogs coming to visit. The bar and pool area were very enjoyable. The river cruise was also fantastic. I love that it left right from the hotel's dock. The rooms could have been a bit cleaner. The ramp up to the bar area becomes extremely slippery when wet and I saw one guest fall while using it. It definitely needs to have thin planks of wood added to it to provide grip. The food was okay - the meat a bit chewy and the ingredients did not taste super fresh. The breakfast, however, was great. Be prepared to use mosquito spray!
- Schmidt (9/5): -
- Anita (8/5): Overall good - Breakfast was lovely, loved the setting outside. Smaller and more eating tables outside
- Heidi (7/5): -
- Joerg (6/5): - Kurzfristige Organisation zum Besuch der Victoriafalls. Betten waren sehr sauber Kleines Zimmer, etwas heruntergekommenes Bad.
- Anne891 (7/5): - Die Anlage ist schön grün und sauber. Das Zimmer war sehr klein. Das Bett für zwei normalwüchsige Menschen zu schmal. Preis-Leistung nicht angebracht.
- Jacqueline (7/5): Adequate for a one night stay - It was convenient place to stay en route to Ngoma border crossing, with the Chobe River at the bottom of the garden. The bed, even though it was a small double was comfortable for one night and there was air conditioning in the room. We found the guest house difficult to find, as there were branches from a tree covering the small sign. When we mentioned this to the receptionist, she really was not bothered. In fact her whole demeanour was unwelcoming and unhelpful. Our room was difficult to find initially as there were no outside lights working and we were not shown to our room, like in other properties. The room was a lot smaller than expected and felt like it needed updating, as did the bathroom too. The gardens around the rooms need some love and care too.
- Monique (10/5): Perfection -
- Rosie (8/5): -
- robert (7/5): Fair stay possibly overpriced - The rooms were basic but comfortable I had stayed here previously and found it wonderful but this time staff were not nearly as helpful and food menu was basic by most modern standards
- Dico (8/5): -
- Emmanuel (9/5): Enjoyable stay at a place which beautiful and full of character - Beautiful location and premises have a lot of character.
- wynand (8/5): - Quite and central Some staff not very friendly nor helpful. Front desk lady does not seem to know to much.
- Priska (9/5): - Super Lage, schöne Anlage, freundliches Personal
- Hannes (10/5): -
- Derek (10/5): -
- Dean (8/5): -
- Duncan (8/5): Great place to stop at the beginning or end of a safri trip. - An excellent place to round off a long safari trip in Botswana. The weather had been very hot so a room with great ac and fabulous showers were just what was needed. Good food in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast allowed us to prepare for our flights home.
- Barbara (8/5): Schöne Unterkunft mit viel Angebot - Direkt am Fluss gelegen, ordentliche Zimmer mit Kühlschrank und Klimaanlage . Tolle Cruise am Nachmittag und wunderbarer ganztägiger Gamedrive in den Chobe Nationalpark.
- KARINE (9/5): - L’endroit, le personnel sympathique La chambre avec lit et moustiquaire et les sanitaires trés propres. Thé café à disposition… Restaurant avec jardin ou ou passe des animaux sauvages. Accès à la rivière … Très bonnes proposition d’activités de l’hôtel..dont le sun set cruse incroyable !!!! La situation de la chambre coté route un peu bruyante
- Martin (9/5): -
- Prof. Dr. Wolfgang F. Finke (10/5): -
- Bryce (10/5): -
- Mark (10/5): Great property, friendly staff and guests. Great at organising trips. Good food. - Really good breakfasts and meals reasonably priced and varied menu. Property went down to the Chobe river. Enjoyed seeing warthogs and bushbucks on the lawn. Nice bar. Very friendly helpful staff. Staff did cleaning of rooms very early somewhat disturbed lie-ins.
- Klaus-Dieter (8/5): - ... ...
- Helen (7/5): Ok for one night. However, there are better options close by. - The room is ok for the price. The staff at reception is not very nice. The safe in my room did not work properly.
- Charlotte (9/5): Chilled vibes in a garden space - Beautiful setting, friendly staff and great location! Booked a night and stayed a second night. Has a great feel to it. Just a suggestion- food menu could be more varied
- William (8/5): Very good - Nice place to stay, with quite good food. But do not take the rooms along the road, they are noisy. They also arrange nice halfday trip Reception was not very helpful to find a taxi to the border
- De (7/5): Good - Nice rooms, comfortable...nice little restaurant...The females staff were very nice...the food is good...and the capuccino excellent... Very well situated...with the river closeby..practical for river cruise pick up and drop off... And not very far from Chobe park gate... Also lots of birds... Unfortunatly, a little noisy at night...specially room 5...noise from people outside talking or watching something on their phone...until quiet late.. And also people from the room above...
- Nidhi (9/5): Superb - Luke & his team are always super responsive, friendly & helpful. Old House has great character & always a comfortable stay. Veg options at the restaurant are limited. An option of a fridge in the rooms would be welcome given Kasane heat.
- Abraham (8/5): 2 Days in Kasane - Quirky appearance with a tropical feel in the surrounding gardens. Felt safe walking about 10 minutes down to the shopping area along the main road. Room was comfortable although the bed was small. Breakfast was very good. Ate in the restaurant twice for our evening dinner and we enjoyed the food served. The safari drive we took one morning was excellent thanks to our guide Andrik who was knowledgeable and obliging. The sunset cruise booked through The Old House was disappointing since the guide was most reluctant to explain anything or point things out unless she was asked a direct question. Cold shower one morning . Some of the staff seemed unfriendly and bored with their work. Other staff were happier.
- Ulf (8/5): Very good - Nice breakfast and breakfast area. Wild animals right infront of you when having a meal. Dinner prices a bit high.compared to other places.
- P (9/5): Superb -
- Sheila (9/5): Superb -
- Laiza (10/5): Exceptional - Friendly staff. A lot of fruits for a fruitarian like me. N/A
- Taina (8/5): Very good service and activities -
- Salome (7/5): Please change what you call double bed to bigger single. Even the wardrobe was that of a child - Well I ended up not spending the night there. I was looking for comfort but when my room was presented to me, I was shocked what they call double room was just a bigger single. I could have stayed if it was even a queen bed! I hope to get my refund. Ended up going to Cresta. Big hotel hotel but nevertheless very comfortable beds and actually it made my visit to Kasane very well worth it.
- Eva (8/5): A lovely access to the riverside - I loved the access to the riverfront and the premises and room were spotlessly clean. Breakfast was plentiful, WiFi worked well. Seeing a bushbuck in the garden at night was priceless and so was the sunset birdsong. Staff, whilst always professional and friendly, just didn't seem happy.
- Knight (8/5): Comfortable in the spacious family room - Ambience warm, decorated dining room with additional African and bird art theme and included history of William Lamont was a bonus of this special B Double-bed-size for us tall and larger individuals
- Kabelo (6/5): Pleasant -
- Sheema (8/5): Homely stay - It was a lovely set up, comfortable spacious rooms The bathroom could use a little update
- Ra (8/5): Very good - Property is well kept. Reception was very helpful in arranging afternoon boat cruise when I arrived and shuttle to airport for departure. Convenient to have on-site resto/bar. Also close to a cafe, Italian restaurant and Spar. Kalahari Tours 5 min walk away. Wifi works well in only a small location outside main office. Little variety for breakfast (full English or cheese omelette).
- Win (8/5): Staff so obliging ! - Just everything ! So relaxing after hectic safari 😂 Nothing
- Dimmeri (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dawid (8/5): Very good -
- Jane (8/5): Very good -
- Iwona (9/5): A hidden green gem - Beautiful ambience, lots of greenery which offers such a relief after scorching heat, vintage look, nice menu in the restaurant We couldn’t enjoy the romantic side of the hotel as there were continuous football match shows on tv screen in the restaurant in the evening, it felt a bit like in an English sports pub.
- Gabiz. (10/5): Perfect base in Kasane - Such a nice place at an affordable price, comfortable beds, restaurant where you can watch birds and in the evening a warthog comes by, good breakfast and own pier at the river where the sunset boat cruise start, very convenient for travelers not on an organized tour. It's also very close to the center/shopping mall, where you can buy whatever you need and also change money (in front of the mall is a bank). For solo travellers going to Maun on bus, there is only 1 direct connection overnight. For day connection you have to change in Natta but it's a safe connection (long but with local fun).
- Sarah (8/5): Nice garden - Set in a lush garden very close to the river with a nice dining area with good food well priced & small pool. We had the lift room. Which was spacious, beds we’re comfortable & bedding was good quality. You can book river & land safari trips into Chobe NP. The loft room got very hot & as the AC was at one end behind the main bed it didn’t penetrate down to the other end where the 3 single beds were. Bathroom needs an upgrade & Shower needs replacing.
- Ana-Lena (6/5): Mit Potenzial- sollte dringend renoviert werden - Die Unterkunft ist schon in die Jahre gekommen. Grundsätzlich gemütlich und mit Potenzial. Jedoch sind Renovierungen überfällig. Wir hatten den Loft Room. Ein dunkles großes Zimmer an sich sauber. Das Badezimmer aber extrem alt und abgewohnt. Schimmel in der Dusche, Toilette nicht ordentlich. Preis - Leistung (200 Euro pro Nacht für drei) zu hoch. Bootstour mit gutem Guide und zu empfehlen. Frühstück und Essen in Ordnung.
- Kathleen (8/5): - Charming fun to stay at and overall very nice but should offer better WiFi to all rooms & small spray bottle of repellent like other places.
- Donatus (9/5): Superb - Very nice location, nice hotel, wonderful staff, decent breakfast - and the best mosquito net in years, one that actually WORKS and is not super annoying like most of them ;) We also did the Sunset cruise from the hotel, and the guide had eagle's eyes, so even though I have been around and am a good spotter myself, he helped me see some rarer occurrences! Location is right in the middle of Kasane. Kasane to me (with plenty of Africa experience) is a safe place, like most everywhere in Botswana, by the way. Of course you need to be street-wise, but I know plenty of suburbs in European cities that are a lot less safe than Kasane. I can't think of anything.
- Tshenolo (8/5): Pleasant - Clean, great value for money, great location At check in, the lady at reception said check out is at 10am and the room might not be ready. Asked her to check then find me at the restaurant. She never got back to me until I went back to reception to check after about an hour only then did she confirm that it was ready.
- Fred (7/5): Good -
- Rosa (8/5): - El hotel tiene mucho encanto y el desayuno es bueno pero el cuarto de baño necesita actualizarse sobre todo la ducha y el inodoro.
- Louma (10/5): Exceptional -
- Elaine (8/5): Quirky, peaceful, comfortable. - A simple lodge with lush vegetation, small water features, rustic sitting areas and quirky art work which all contributed to a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The open space between the dining area and the river was visited by interesting birds, warthogs, and (on one occasion) baboons at play.
- Pamela (10/5): Absolutely fabulous! I’ll be back again. - I have made many visits here over the past few years. The owner and staff are very pleasant, friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. The food is scrummy too. The rooms are very attractive, very clean and very comfortable. It’s sits on the banks of the Chobe River and is an absolutely stunning setting! There are varies activities offered, river cruises, game drives ( the guides are very knowledgeable) trips to Victoria Falls etc. Absolutely nothing not to like.
- Marlice (8/5): Very good - The gardens were pretty and there is a restaurant on site that was handy. The driver for our transfers to the airport was super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok. Our room had super steep stairs, so tough with our suitcases. The A/C blew right on our heads and we could not adjust it and there was loud music from a nearby bar that went on at least until midnight, so not the best sleep. Restaurant staff not very welcoming.
- Elmarie (10/5): Our first choice in the future! - Excellent place to stay! Lovely restaurant with exceptional cuisine. Definitely our first choice in the future after staying at many hotels in Kasane.
- Philippa (10/5): We wished we were staying longer. Will definitely go back. - Beautiful B&B, very calming, amazing food. No bad points.
- Ali (8/5): Very good -
- Paul (7/5): Good - Rooms were ok, 3 beds didnt leave much space. Restaurant very nicely set up in garden atmosphete Airconditioning had problems with the heatwave and so did we. Internet reception was weak. Meals from the restaurant could be improved. Breakfast was ok.
- Ian (10/5): The Old House - Fabulous location, Chobe River at the bottom of the garden. Distant animal noises could be heard at night. A wonderful main old building with a delightful semi-exposed restaurant area. Nothing to dislike.
- Cate (8/5): Very good - Cute and very comfortable. Liked the property.
- Lmw215 (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful spot in Kasane. Wouldn’t stay anywhere else upon return!
- Lmw215 (10/5): Exceptional - Great location and place in Kasane!
- Marilyn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jing (9/5): Superb -
- Maledu (7/5): Good -
- Sharlaina (8/5): We had a lovely stay and have suggested a couple of improvements. - The location was great. The room was spacious and looked and felt lovely. There was a lamp and side table beside the bed closest to the bathroom; the lamp wasn’t plugged in, and there wasn’t a place to plug it or my electronics in. In a time where everyone has gadgets, there needs to be plenty of space for plugging things in, especially for International travellers who have big and bulky adapters. With the hot weather we had hoped to swim in the pool. Unfortunately it appeared very dirty, thus opted to sit in the sweltering heat. The staff was lovely, but after asking a few different questions we came to the conclusion that the staff wasn’t aware of the types of questions foreign travellers may have, or don’t feel empowered to give responses to guests. Either way, it tarnished our experience in this lovely B&B.
- Manon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tanya (6/5): All in all a comfortable stay and lovely spot for dinner. - Location, friendly staff,lovely breakfast Swimming pool- way to much chlorine.
- Joanne (9/5): Excellent place to stay - It is a lovely character property near the river with great rooms, service and food
- Anonymous (6/5): It is not really a welcoming environment - 1.Clean 2.Good location 3.Breakfast was good 1. no fridge nor TV in room 2. Not all of the staff members were friendly 3. There was one or 2 incidents that made me feel uncomfortable to be there
- Bronwen (8/5): Like returning to see a trusted and much loved old friend . - I have stayed at The Old House on a number of occasions and it is like returning to an old friend . You know that the rooms will be clean and comfortable. That the towels and bed linen will be fresh and of good quality and that the AC works . It’s location, on riverside , will always bring delights , whether that be sunset splendour , or the opportunity to sit and take in the beauty of the river environment. The restaurant and bar staff are always on good form and the food remains a big plus . The towels by the pool are a welcome addition , as are the multi plug sockets It’s also great having a Safari company working alongside the residence . I will be back . It would be super to have a mini fridge in the rooms .
- Maledu (10/5): Exceptional -
- Andre (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fanny (9/5): Superb -
- Thomas (10/5): Affordable, cosy place right on the Chobe River - The Old House has been nicely renovated and looks colourful and modern now. Our room (no 8) was nicely decorated and had a nice little terrace looking into the little garden with a nice restaurant. The food (breakfast & dinner) was very good, the WiFi worked well too. Parking in front of the building (not secluded, but pretty safe). The highlight was the 3 hours boat tour in the afternoon. The hotel has 3 own boats, which are not so big, but ideal to get closer to the animals than the big boats. We saw hundreds of elephants, lots of buffalos, antelopes, hippos and crocodiles. It was a stunning experience, which visitors to Kasane should not miss! We can highly recommend the Old House! Nothing to complain about
- Heinrich (10/5): Good place for a stoppver with friends - Friendly staff, interesting early morning boat-trip
- Taute (10/5): Exceptional - The best sheets I've ever slept in, crisp and spotlessly clean. Excellent staff and management. Restaurant is super, service fantastic. River trip right from the dock. Wildlife sometimes right in front of you from the restaurant area, buffalo and Chobe bush buck etc. A must if you plan to stay in Kasane.
- Chuong (9/5): Superb - The Old House is a good affordable option in Kasane, the city itself is not very appealing although I really limited myself walking to the supermarket. facilities are comfortable, with clean large room (they gave me a huge 6 person room as no availability), decent sized bath. Food is OK but otherwise limited eating options as walking along the main street at night is not appealingly safe with motor traffic. restaurant in garden so mosquitoes are unlimited. Their tours are good, especially the afternoon boat tour, very enjoyable experience. If considering game drive during the day, a full day may be a better option as they get deeper inside the park, the morning drive fairly disappointing after coming from Etosha and seeing a plethora of grazers and elephants, but they do have lions and cape buffaloes. Limited eating options except at The Old House
- Amanda (8/5): Wonderful! - Lovely small hotel close to the river, room was spacious and very comfortable. Lovely garden and breakfast was very good. Can hear traffic noise from the road
- Mark (10/5): Exceptional -
- Nicholas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Marco (8/5): Very good -
- Jane (7/5): Affordable, central location, own guides and activities. Garden setting nice to relax in. - Right in Kasane with their own boat at end of the garden. Garden makes a lovely setting. Staff very nice and easygoing. Evening boat cruise was great as saw elephants swimming from island to Namibia coast. Lots of cold breakfast options and cheese omelette or full English. Activities - need to have two minimum. As a solo traveller this meant I couldn’t do all the activities I wanted to do. Noise - as this is a small property you can hear other guests and restaurant noise etc. full English was a bit undercooked - particularly sausages. Suggest they should ask what elements you’d want to save wastage.
- Museler (7/5): Good -
- Paul (10/5): - Fantastic place to stay for game drives and river tours of Chobe National park
- Stanley (9/5): Terrific! - Breakfast was good, with a decent variety. The dining area was lovely, and the overall location excellent. Highly recommended. Bed was a bit short for a tall man and a little soft.
