Guest Reviews

Erdmann (10/5): - Ich habe hier für 4 Nächte auf die Ankunft meines Campervans gewartet und hatte einen ersten wunderbaren Eindruck von Namibia. Von hier aus habe ich meine Tour durch Namibia gestartet. Die Zimmer sind sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet (wurden in den letzten Monaten alle neu gemacht). Und alles ist sehr sehr sauber. Wenn du also die wenigen Sehenswürdigkeiten in Walvis Bay besuchen willst, bist du hier allerbesten aufgehoben. Hervorzuheben ist ist insbesondere das Personal. Ich hatte einen sehr warmen Empfang. Alle sind sehr sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Und man lacht gerne... Vielleicht der beste Platz in Walvis Bay. Äußerst empfehlenswert.
Marais (8/5): -
Goitseone (9/5): - It was comfortable and quiet. And the staff was very friendly Nothing
Oshihandhila (7/5): -
Rosina (10/5): -
Maureen (7/5): - Beautiful room but alot of renovation work going on. All the stairs
Iifo (8/5): - It is in a good location. I enjoyed my stay. Staff were very friendly.
Raisibe (6/5): The property is a guesthouse not a hotel. It is an okay guesthouse. - The food at their restaurant was horrible and expensive. We could not finish our meals because they were bad. Their drinks selection is also very limited.
Irina (4/5): Not good - Staff friendy The renovations was bad and loud from early morning
Mpho (10/5): -
Gianni (8/5): Un buon riposo al suono delle onde del mare - Posizione e collaborazione Colazione da migliorare
Indilimi (10/5): Great - How was great
Natasha (10/5): -
Michelle (8/5): Comfortable stay - This guesthouse has a great location. Staff are very friendly. Our room was really lovely. The breakfast was very basic
Stefan (8/5): -
Lavinia (7/5): Friendly stuff. Very helpful too. Ocean’s just a stone throw away. Clean. Perfect check out time. Beautiful place all-ro - Its location. Beautiful views of the ocean. Nothing.
Clemens (7/5): -
Samantha (7/5): - The view Nothing
Stefan (8/5): -
Sharon (5/5): Great location. Poor staff training/motivation - The location, right in the lagoon and a short walk from The Raft restaurant and Dolphins Coffee Shop could not be bettered The staff were out of their depth. After we arrived we went upstairs for a drink and to watch the sunset. The position was great but we were pestered to move to a shady table where the sunset was invisible. On our second morning we arrived for breakfast at 6:40 only to be told breakfast didn’t start until 6:30??? There was a huge panic when the manager saw what the time was but there was not very enthusiastic response from the staff to actually set everything up. Out of the staffs’ control was the renovation taking place which involved jackhammers and water supply interruptions, neither of which were very welcome on our 4pm arrival.
Maude (8/5): -
Daan (9/5): Very nice stay in walvisbaai - Excellent location, clean and comfortable rooms,!very kind and etiquette-trained personell.
Jurgens (4/5): Disappointing - Location Room was dusty. Airconditioning very noisy. Could not sleep well. Place a bit old and run down, for the price.
Jeremy (6/5): Pleasant -
M (5/5): Passable -
Phumi (1/5): Disaster - I was extremely disappointed of the property, what is presented on pictures is completely different. The room smells and the place is so uncomfortable as a first time guests in Namibia our excitement was reduced from 100 to 0 the place looks like an abandoned building we got lost and no one was answering the phone the room were so uncomfortable.
Tobias (10/5): Very nice stay! - Right at the bay and just across the promenade walkway to recomendable restaurant "The Raft".
Nico (5/5): Passable - The room needs urgent renovation.
Jaco (6/5): Pleasant - Fantastic location, room was spacious and clean. The only down was the breakfast, for the room rate you pay per night I expected more, private parking gate motor at one stage did not work and geared rail on gate stripped, gate could not open properly
Annikie (4/5): The property did not meet my expectation, the breakfast wasn't that great as it was not a buffet. - The property is located in a nice, secure and quite area with easy access to the Dune Mall and nearby stores and restaurants. The gate was not remotely controlled. Each time we go in and out we had to open it manually by pushing it and it was heavy for us.
Kaukuetu (8/5): Cosy place I'll surely visit again - Very neat and cosy place, I liked the fireplace especially since it was raining. A Fine place . Some water came into my room from the rain, which they immediately attended to but this will only happen again in 100 years as it almost never rains in the desert.
Christina (10/5): Peaceful - Very clean, quiet
Nomthandazo (8/5): Very good -
Ernst (9/5): Superb - the remote vehicle gate did not work and has clearly being out of order for some time. this was quite inconvenient
Scm (9/5): Superb - Great location on the Laguna. Nice and spacious rooms.
Kago (10/5): Loved the location and Zondani made our stay comfortable,looking forward to staying longer - Didn’t have breakfast coz we checked out very early,Zondani was a great host,always willing to assist. For me everything was fine
Gavin (8/5): Very good -
Pulane (1/5): We checked in and couldn’t stay at the place. It didn’t look tidy at all - Location We checked in but couldn’t sleep at the place I wasn’t value for our money at all
Elizabeth (10/5): Exceptional -
Nokubonga (8/5): Very good -
Morati (5/5): was a cold stay - Location perfect , wifi great Aircon not working Blankets too small,as in the size, for a double bed i was give two single bed comforters Came with kids and they gave them a room far away from my room,, rooms are too small No fridge in the room Staff don’t offer to help with the bags but the rooms are upstairs 🥲
Nii (8/5): Picturesque View - Location was perfect. Beautiful view of the lagoon with kite surfing, pelicans, flamingos etc. Walking distance to the waterfront. They even got me a mini fridge when I asked for one. Could do with a bit better cleaning and maintenance. Front door lock sticky, and let in cold air at the bottom.
Andre (8/5): Very good -
Heba (3/5): Poor - the view at the restaurant was wonderful. the staff were friendly and helpful. the room was clean and the bed was comfortable..the variety at breakfast was ok. -they gave me the worst possible room location, almost at the hotel parking.. the walls were very thin I heard noises of cars and people talking all the time which made it hard to fall sleep.. also my room was next to the kitchen, so I was waken up very early when the staff started working at the kitchen. -it was definitely extremely overpriced for the level of comfort it provided -the water flew out of the shower to the bathroom floor and accumulated there
Margaret (10/5): Top - The rooms are wonderful, cosy, homely and the location is marvelous. One can stroll into town for meals if so desired. excellent breakfast too,
Clive (8/5): Very good -
Paolo (10/5): Exceptional - The room was clean, a very comfortable bed and a beautiful view on the lagoon. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming.
Amy (8/5): comfortable, convenient and friendly. TV and plugs weren't that great. -
Noran (6/5): Pleasant - See view was beautiful Bed was not comfortable, we had a very annoying sound squiky sound whenever you opened the bathroom door.
Ramello (7/5): Good -
Matthieu (8/5): Very good -
Marie (2/5): Le STAFF nous a volé 1500$ namibiens… - L’établissement est de prime abord bien placé et avec une chambre convenable. Mais les chambres sont très mal isolés phonétiquement et après notre check in à 13h nous nous sommes absentés pour dîner et à notre retour 2h plus tard les femmes de chambres étaient passées dans notre chambre pour faire le lit et 1500$ namibiens avaient disparu de notre porte feuilles. Je n’ai jamais entendu que le staff entre dans une chambre pour faire le lit 2h après le check in alors que nous ne restions qu’une nuit… Un standard Namibien d’après le patron qui n’a fait aucun geste en notre faveur. Nous avons lu dans d’autres commentaires que certains se sont même fait voler des affaires rangés dans le coffre fort… Ne laissez rien de valeurs dans la chambre en votre absence!
Ramona (10/5): Exceptional -
Vasie (6/5): Pleasant -
Walter (7/5): great! - the location, and also the breakfast was great the aircon was not working properly, and they are few channels to watch on the tv
Maphosa (1/5): Bad - Their reception closes at 9pm. Had to sleep in the car on the first night!
Angelclaire86 (10/5): A little gem in the bay - Loved the view every day. The flamingos and pelican was quite a sight! It was peaceful. The drains were a problem every time you flushed the toilet.
Matthieu (6/5): Pleasant -
August (10/5): Exceptional -
Elena (8/5): Perfect for a short stay. Personnel super friendly -
Caroline (8/5): Very good -
Lisias (7/5): Good -
Selestino (8/5): Very good -
Shawn (8/5): Very good -
Geraldine (7/5): Good -
Williamsom (8/5): It was great and the manager Samuel is an asset to the Oyster Box - You cannot wish for a better location or view of the lagoon. I would think a bar fridge in the room would be a bonus.
For (6/5): Improve on the beds to cater for a couple. Consider putting fridges in rooms please - Location by the sea
Fungisayi (5/5): Very friendly staff - Beautiful location We were there for Christmas as well as celebrating our anniversary we didn’t like the bed setup how can a couple sleep in different blankets we spoke to the manager if they have one big duvet cover he said no there isn’t. No bar fridge in the room, no tea no kettle that was a huge disappointment l won’t even recommend this place to anyone. The cleaners doesn’t change the bedding everyday only after two days😌😌😌😌😌
Thengo (4/5): Disappointing -
Margaret (8/5): The location was excellent with a panoramic view across the lagoon - Location was excellent with panoramic views across the lagoon. Within easy walking distance of restaurants. Outdoors seating area was a nice touch. If a fridge and a kettle were provided it would have improved my stay.
Elize (10/5): Exceptional -
Traiano (10/5): Nice place - Location Maybe some bottle of water in the room will be nice
Brian (9/5): Superb - Great location on bay for walking and close to restaurants Large bedroom although facilities need updating Bathroom grouting looks tired so gives impression of dirt which it wasn’t Hot breakfast could do with a bit more expansion and a card saying what’s on offer!
Barbara (7/5): First visit to explore Namibia - Location…on the Esplanade and easy walk to restaurants Very small room
Marlene (7/5): Good - Well located, neat and tidy rooms. They provided us with a kettle for use for our room. A small fridge in the room would be nice. And better quality coffee please, ricoffy is terrible. And perhaps a second set of cups would also be nice.
Madeleine (10/5): - Amazing hotel, very cosy with a beautiful ocean view. The staff is extremely serviceminded, kind and helpful.
Makodza (7/5): Good -
Richard (5/5): Passable -
Vule (8/5): Very good -
Haloliwa (7/5): Good -
Geraldine (9/5): Superb -
Kahimbi (7/5): comfortable, but could be better. - Beautiful view of the lagoon. The room was comfortable, staff friendly and very helpful. The noise from doors of other rooms opening was so loud. No fridge in the room breakfast exactly the same everyday-not ideal place for a stay longer than 2 days
Annemarie (3/5): Poor -
Anonymous (5/5): Not good value for money. - Location No coffee or tea in room. Floor is cold. Breakfast is disappointing.
Tekani (7/5): Good - the location is good. the bed. they only had single bed with sheets which were shoot.
Seroshia (10/5): Great stay and great breakfast. However the staff could be more friendly. - Great location and the room was amazing! Staff are not the friendliest of people
Anonymous (5/5): We at leat got a good night’s rest, but that’s it for us. Don’t think we’ll be back soon unless a proper upgrade is done - The view that’s about it. Bathrooms were cold and uninviting. Shower took forever to warm up. I think an upgrade to your bathrooms would be fair for the price paid per night. No DSTV and your tv screens need an update too. Breakfast was very limited and really disappointing.
Calvin (10/5): Exceptional -
Calvin (10/5): Exceptional -
Calvin (10/5): Exceptional - Great Stay. Was good. Had awesome time.
Roger (8/5): Very good. would come again - Guesthouse is superbly located on sea front, with very nice views from the lounge and dining area. Excellent staff back rooms, sadly have no view, except of car park and are a little cramped. Shower needs some attention, currently bathroom and bedroom floors get soaked.
Abed (10/5): will always book it if I’m that side - very clean every thing was on point
Hendry (6/5): Pleasant -
Michael (8/5): Very good - The location and the raft restaurant 3 minutes away nothing
Raymond (8/5): Very good - Location and staff were fabulous and the breakfast was amazing, no complaints. The wifi is no good and drops the connection continually, also room 6 TV remote does not work, I'm not complaining but this needs to be resolved
Dr. Peter (10/5): - Very kind service team, great location at the lagune, clean rooms, wifi could be stronger, nicely equipped rooms, breakfast with good options
COLIN EDWARD (2/5): - Rude management, bedding in a pile on the beds unmade, single bed duvet for two beds pushed togther .. refused to provide double bed duvet though they did provide a second single duvet, one single blanket and one towel. when questionned we were told its the onwers decisionn and the manager had lots of eperince so they were correct. it was explained that many customers complained about the beds then the followng mornign the opposite was told to us. Never again
