We liked this place and had no complains. We stayed here for one night after landing in Windhoek on day 1. The rooms are nice and the service is friendly. The breakfast has scope for improvement. The bread was dry , hard and stale. We would also hope for remote operated keys for the main gate as it is quite... More

Many thanks for taking the time to write a review, and we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. We have addressed the breakfast issues with our managers and have asked that they are all careful to make sure that the bread is fresh at all times. At the moment it is our winter and the air is...

I stayed at Rivendell during the month of April while working in Windhoek. I elected to say in their flat as I wanted to be able to prepare some of my own meals. The flat was ideal - clean, comfortable, convenient. The on-site travel agency, ATI, is also excellent and I would highly recommend using them for car rental, bookings,... More

A nice place to stay in WHK, at the beginning and end of a trip to Namibia. Clean rooms and very friendly and helpful staff. This is away from town and had a secured parking lot. 20 minutes of walking to the center. The kitchen area can be used to make your own meals, fully equipped with all kitchen items.... More

The rooms are great, the breakfast makes a good start and the kitchen area can be used to make your own meals. This isnt a place there you feel away, you feel at home. The pool is just wonderful...

This is a very nice place to stay in WHK. We had a comfortable and spacious ensuite room accommodating 2 adults and a child. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good service. As we stayed at the Rivendell in December 2008, we were told to be careful when going to town by taxi. Christmas lay ahead and that might have... More

We stayed here both the first and last nights of our trip. Very comfortable for and in-and-out experience. This is away from town and had a secured parking lot.

Our family needed a comfortable apartment type dwelling with air conditioning and DSTV for a four night stay after traveling two continents. The family "flat' at Rivendell was perfect for our needs, fully equipped with all kitchen items necessary to eat in rather than dining out. The pool was a welcome Oasis to relax in and also very clean. I... More
