Food, especially the dinners were exceptionally good and well prepared. The setting was very unique and special to remember for a long time. We also found the staff friendliness and willingness to assist very good.

Very unique place to stay in the middle of the desert. Beautiful rooms and nice pool. We did a fun sunset quad tour for our daughter her birthday. They sang for her at the dinner table.
Every night there is a 5 course dinner , first night delicious second night a bit less fancy.

Great stay in the desert.
The lodge offers everything you wish for - nice and friendly staff, really good food (the dinner is just wow) and a great view.
We booked a tour into sossuvlei at the lodge - that was a great choice. The guide was highly motivated, took us to the best places (also the ones that are not the tourist hotspots) and explained a lot of things about the landscape.
Would definitely come back to desert homestead lodge if I will ever be in the area again.
We stayed at the Desert Camp, not far from the park entrance...
We stayed at the Desert Camp, not far from the park entrance gate. It was an easy drive to the park, and the 60km of wonderful tarred road to the 2 wheel drive car park. This gives access to Dig Daddy dune and Deadvlei.
From here the park vehicle took us to Big Momma dune, and also goes to Hidden Vlei. All very easy.
Dune 45 is 45 km along the road. The bus cost 180 Namibian dollars in October 2023. Wear runners to climb the dunes and walk to Deadvlei. Har, sunglasses and water are essential. We ate at the restaurant inside the park gate. Good and affordable. We bought our water at the shop there. Breakfast at the Sossusvlei Lodge was good too.
I would recommend paying extra for tyre and glass insurance when picking up your rental car. Prior to coming to Sesriem, we had a flat tyre far from anywhere and Hertz directed us to a lodge with tyre repair services. We had to go on to Outjo to get the fixed tyre replaced, but the insurance made it less of a concern.

Best place to experience the oldest desert on earth.
Best place to experience the oldest desert on earth. Wonderful place to spend time with. At least you need to stay 1 night inside park to make sure that you can go to Deadvlei early in the moring. Take photos with shade of light. Hiking at Daddy dune in the morning and slide down to deadvlei.

Sesriem is an oasis in the desert and everything is well organized but basic. Prepare well before you go. The cleanliness of the entire area is remarkable. The Namibian people are very friendly and helpful - don't be shy to ask for advice.

I loved the dunes, but we should have got there a bit earlier in the day for the best photographic opportunities. We stayed at We Kebi Lodge which was exceptional value for money, and I would have loved to stay there for a longer stay.

The road in from Mariental (273Km) and out to Walvis Bay (315 Km) were sand/gravel, and in a poor shape for large portions. Other than that it was a great stay. 2 nights should be a minimum with at least one day to frolic in the dunes.

Accommodation in and around Sesriem and Sossusvlei is...
Accommodation in and around Sesriem and Sossusvlei is slightly on the expensive side for locals and South Africans. However, it is one of those things that you have to see and experience should you be able to travel the gravel roads of this vast country.
Great place to stay, highly recommended!
We stayed 2 nights to visit Sossusvlei. You can view the sunrise and sunset by fire place. Also possible to have balloon fly of sunrise behind the hotel, in the morning we job to the backside and go up the small hill and the view was great, at night, you can have amzing milkyway after 5 course dinner which is sunrising good and fast.
We did not expect this at our first stay in Namibia, it was the best start you would wish for.
This was our first hotel of our tour and it was an instant hit.
We really enjoyed the beautiful, spacious rooms. The terrace overlooking the desert was my favorite spot. Dinner was great. The good night stories were a nice attention.
The sundowner was also very nice and in an amazingly beautiful decor.
Too bad the lovely pool was too cold to use. By the way, nowhere in Namibia are the pools heated, although there is enough sun to do that with solar panels.
The meals at the hotel are really wonderful. There is variety which is unusual for Namibia -- we had a vegan in our team and he ate really well at this hotel. The view of the desert from the al fresco dining area and the bar is really special and I liked the layout of the tent rooms. Overall, this place gives you a real feeling of being in the desert. It was a bonus point that the place is not far from the dune park and Dead Vlei.
Great place to stay if you are visiting Sesriem. The rooms are simple but very clean and comfortable to accommodate a family with kids.
The staff is excellent and go above and beyond to make sure you have a great stay (kudos specially to Paul on this).
Food is also very good and quality and the kitchen staff make sure all your dietary requirements are considered.
What a fantastic experience that was. You are treated like a king from start to finish. The Hotel Manager has created a superb atmosphere with all the staff. The facilities are greatly located.
I can only highly spoke of everyone looking after us during our stay/
A special thank you to our guide Paolo who made our desert tour extraordinary.
We were looking for a location close to the Sossusvlei park gate, and this was both close and affordable (relatively speaking for the area). It turned out to be highly scenic as well, with a backdrop of rocks, a nice pool, and an inviting bar. Meals at the Sossusvlei Lodge were a plus -- excellent dinner and a lunch basket.
Great location in the middle of nowhere but not too far from Sesriem if you want to visit the dunes. Very pleasant family-owned and run property. Friendly staff, excellent food by a passionate chef. Great cabins with ample of space between for privacy where you disconnect from the world (unless you have a satellite phone).
The location and sunset is awesome ! Hermann who is doing the tour is the perfect person to go with at the dunes, sesriem and deadvlei ! we did as well a game drive wirh hermann is was superbe ! The location is great, staff very smilly and friendly !
Very clean as well ! and great diner !
Everything was perfect. From check in to check out the service and staff were wonderful. Lovely view from the room, comfortable, peaceful, great food and the Gemsbok. 40 mins drive to Sesriem gate. Well worth it to see the dunes. Don't forget Deadvlie and Sesriem Canyon.
A very nice place with nice swimming pool to have a drink! Dinner @ Sossusvlei Lodge was really great (food and place): dinner under the stars! :) Perfect location as only few kilometers from the gate.
Very lovely staff. Did its best whilst the hotel was short of water during two days
Great rooms with an amazing vue
Foods was OK
Surely a very good place to stay to discover the dunes around
Incredible little house very well designed, comfortable and clean. Very good service from Etona when we arrived. Quiet and 4min to Sesriem gate, definitely recommand!
the architecture of the main lodge, the evening buffet and hospitality that came with it, the good location inside the park and ease to get to Sesriem and Sossus.
Not much, it’s an excuse for a 4 star property. We where initially put in the old section of the hotel which was terrible. The staff are also not well trained.
