We picked Rivendell based on its previous good reviews over other places. It fulfilled all our expectations. It was a good mixture of breakfast provided but with full self-catering facilities if preferred in a central kitchen area. It was also close enough to the city centre to easily pop out for meals if required or to have take-aways delivered.It was... More

Our trip to Namibia was a complete success . I would like to thank the Rivendell team for their warm welcome & special thanks to Ciska who helped & gave us some good advises before we started our trip. I recommand this guest house for its services & affordable price . Irina & Jean Pierre

As others have said, you feel at home and it is a perfect place to organize your holiday or regroup after it! Enjoy and if you can get a pool side room, very very nice!

It is in a good location, only 10 minutes walk to the city centre but in a peaceful suburban street. The grounds are safe and secure (with secure parking) and have a nice sunny garden and outdoor...

It was the second time we stayed in Rivendell Guesthouse to start a trip in Namibia and the service is still perfect. Nice clean rooms, very friendly staff, nice breakfast, 10 min walk from the center of Windhoek. I would recommend this guesthouse to my friends! Lisbeth Belgium

After two days of flights from US to Namibia, we needed a rest. Our stay at Rivendell was pre-arranged by Wild-Dog Safaris. We were very pleased with the selection. We were warmly greeted by the staff. We had a small en-suite room overlooking the small pool. The house is surrounded by lush, shady plants. It is in a very quiet... More

Over all a good place to stay, clean rooms, friendly staff, nice pool. Breakfast is a bit expensive and you will need a taxi to go into town. If you are looking for a place that is quiet and relaxing, this place is a good choice, if you like to be in the middle of things, you should look for... More

We used Rivendell as a base for our trip around Namibia. We travelled around Namibia and returned back to Rivendell 4 times throughout our trip. The staff were incredibly helpful in making our trip more comfortable and organized. We were able to leave our luggage there while we were away, arrange pick ups from various airports, and arrange fantastic packed... More
