The deck overlooking the Kunene River which is featured in the advertisement for the property is stunning. However, nothing else lived up to these expectations. Our booking showed a hotel room and when we arrived we were shown to what was apparently a "guides" room. The room was small, dark and dingy and was closed with a lock on a latch. For the less money at other locations in the area we received a far better deal. We asked to be moved as this was not good for the amount of money we had paid. We were then given an hotel room but we were reminded when we left of the favour we had been done to be upgraded! The property is tired and needs some injection of inspiration. Some staff members left a lot to be desired. ##### Gillian Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Ingrid B L 24 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Ingrid B L Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 27 Jul 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Excellent moment passé avec le propriétaire en randonnée sur le kunene rivers et l'apéritif sur la rive en Angola ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wir hatten ein Upgrade für ein Zimmer mit AC.

Ottima la cucina e di livello adeguato il servizio. Si mangia su una terrazza sul fiume con la sponda angolana illuminata di notte. ##### Giorgio ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarel, Bloemfontein 8 Jul 2014 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Location They agreed to make changes to booking without any hassle or extra cost. Everyone was very friendly and eager to satisfy. Chalet was clean and spacious with a good quality comfortable bed. Food is delicious especially the pork chops! The scenery can hardly get any better with the deck right on the river. What you see on the website is what you get! ##### Sarel ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 22 Apr 2014 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### In dire need of upgrade Kunene River lodge is the only place to stay for miles so there is no choice. It is in a stunning location right on the Kunene river opposite the Angolan bank and has a wonderful deck right on the river. If you are a camper it is probably a great spot as all the campsites front the river. However the lodge itself is an ugly breeze block monstrosity, not at all in keeping with the environment and it is in dire need of good maintenance (curtains that come off the rails every time they are pulled etc) and serious upgrading and modernisation. It is shabby, old and not in keeping with some of the wonderful places we stayed in Namibia. Food was absolutely disgusting - even given the difficulties of getting supplies there. We were not warned that the road was flooded and we had to do some pretty scary 4x4 driving. ##### Verified traveller ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 2 May 2013 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Sehr schöne Anlage für Gäste mit und ohne Zelt Wir hatten das Glück als Erste in einem neu fertiggestelltem Bungalow einquartiert zu werden. Dieser war mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet worden, wie auch die Anlage insgesamt sehr schön und großzügig gestaltet ist. Das gesamte Personal ist sehr freundlich und auch Sonderwünsche werden gern erfüllt. ##### Verified traveller ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Aparthotel Houm Plaza Son Rigo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palma-De-Mallorca-Hotels-Aparthotel-Houm-Plaza-Son-Rigo.h4724320.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Glasgow Westend](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Glasgow-Westend-Glasgow-Hotels.0-n6196895-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Orlando - Disney Springs® Area by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Orlando-Disney-Springs-Area.h16367.Hotel-Information) > > [Zannier Sonop](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sesriem-Hotels-Zannier-Hotels-Sonop.h64018208.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool in Warwick](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warwick-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d5463-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Dalkeith Country Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dalkeith-Country-Park-Hotels.0-l6152364-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Alton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alton-Hotels.d6052953.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Windhoek Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windhoek-Hotels-Windhoek-Country-Club.h527043.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments Port de Sóller](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-De-Soller-Apartments.d553248635974599772-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [5 Star Hotels in Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Barcelona-Hotels.s50-0-d179992.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Yokohama](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yokohama-Hotels.d6048260.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fosshotel Raudara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reykjavik-Hotels-Fosshotel-Raudara.h526527.Hotel-Information) > > [The Breakers Palm Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Beach-Hotels-The-Breakers-Palm-Beach.h8479.Hotel-Information) > > [The Ritz-Carlton, Doha](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Doha-Hotels-The-Ritz-Carlton.h802832.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Margaret River](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Margaret-River-Hotels.d180754.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Macallan Distillery](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Macallan-Distillery-Hotels.0-l6088721-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Amora Hotel Jamison Sydney](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sydney-Hotels-Amora-Hotel-Jamison-Sydney.h454969.Hotel-Information) > > [Moon Mountain Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Solitaire-Hotels-Moon-Mountain-Lodge.h7509790.Hotel-Information) > > [Novotel Suites Paris Montreuil Vincennes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-Novotel-Suites-Paris-Montreuil-Vincennes.h582844.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments Split](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Split-Apartments.d3255-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Wyndham Orlando Resort International Drive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Wyndham-Orlando-Resort-International-Drive.h16604.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Belfast (BHD) to Guangzhou (CAN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bhd/can/belfast-to-guangzhou) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Banff (YBA)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/yyc/yba/calgary-to-banff) ### Cars > [Car hire in Naples](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Naples.d6034774.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities > [Things to do in North Yorkshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-North-Yorkshire.d6046226.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Villajoyosa Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Villajoyosa.d180888.Holidays-City-Breaks) ### General > [Visit Crosskeys](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cardiff-Crosskeys.dx3000011791) > > [Visit Downtown Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Lauderdale-Downtown-Fort-Lauderdale.dx800035) > > [Visit Frosinone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Frosinone.dx6192419) > > [Visit Byron Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Byron-Bay.dx6138873)
