    Nothing to dislike.

    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.

    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.

    The location was great. The room was spacious and looked and felt lovely.

    It would be super to have a mini fridge in the rooms .

    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 .

    Nothing to complain about

    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!

    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.

    Limited eating options except at The Old House

    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.

    Consider putting up mosquito screens on doors/windows and in the bathroom. Also consider having small fridge available on request (particularly in the summer) and improve wifi connectivity to all the rooms. Not many vegetarian/vegan options available for breakfast.

    Rooms are lovely, airy and comfortable. Staff were very helpful.

    Excellent breakfast and lunch and a lovely outlook from the dining area with birds and warthogs providing entertainment during the meal. The location is convenient but not noisy or crowded, and the experience has more local atmosphere than in a large hotel.

    Only problem I had was the shower in my room was set too high for short person and the head was not moveable - I spoke to the owner who acknowledged my point and assures me she will look into it.

    hard to believe that the property was just off the main road - it was so quiet. Although the building was old, it was clean and tidy and the grounds were lovely - very tropical. The restaurant/bar was great - the fact that locals use it a lot speaks for itself. They also have 2 boat which go out for cruises - very enjoyable and inexpensive. Staff are very hospitable!!!
