    Nice spot where we prolonged our stay

    It's easier to get there if you have a car (like to 99% of places around Maun), but it's definitely double with shared taxis that run around the city too.

    + It's a calm place with 4 rooms, but there is a huge kitchen with a living room and a nice area in the garden. + Stuff was very welcoming, nice, and helpful. In the end, we decided to stay there one more night just to chill. + It's very clean.

    Cozy and affordable stay in/ near Maun

    A little too far from Maun if you dont have a car. So a car or a taxi ride is necessary. Ants might appear near a tap but this is typical for the region.

    Good stay, with a small swimming pool, a patio and a bbq place. Safe internal parking for guests. Place looks better than on the listing photos. Comfortable beds and friendly hosts. We have stayed here twice during our trip.

    Not a thing that comes to mind.

    This place is a little hidden gem! The rooms are spacious, equipped with a TV, Aircon and a good hot shower. There is a little pool and a big kitchen you can use to cook your own food. We were very happy to stay here.

    The room was slightly small, as well as the parking area.

    This place had everything we needed to serve our purpose: an overnight stop on our way to Moremi Reserve.  There was a communal kitchen that we could use, air conditioning in the room, and a TV, though we didn’t use it.

    - No major problems, only some minor stuff, e.g. - The casing of the light bulb in the bathroom was full of dead insects (photo uploaded) - Bedsheets and linen had rips and holes on them (photo uploaded). Apart from this issue, everything was clean. Conclusion: I must remind myself that this area, i e. Maun and the Okavango Delta, as well as Botswana try to attract western tourists who are willing to spend. Everything is priced accordingly. This place is not exception either as it’s a bit overpriced. But it’s a good option overall.

    - Good air conditioning - Strong wi-fi signal - Really comfortable bed - Enough space in the yard to park your car - It wasn’t a big thing but we also liked the complementary coffee in the roomy

    The water pressure wasn't great.

    We had a lovely time sitting outside in the communal area and even used the pool in the middle of winter. Very relaxing atmosphere; we immediately felt at home. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and staff are reserved, but responsive and helpful.

    The bathroom needs to be reburbished, paintaing is peeling off and tiles are getting old. Otherwise the place is recommended !

    Very cozy guest house, perfect location to start and finish your safari to the Delta and Chobe. Our bedroom was very big with confortable bed. All the necessary is there to cook in the small kitcheen. Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Small pool to chill after a long drive is perfect, place not too busy and relaxing.
