First trip to Namibia - twelve hours of travel, did not know what to expect, and then to be dropped at this place was like an oasis of calm. Lovely room on the second floor overlooking the valley with the jacaranda trees in full bloom - beautiful. We met the owner, who was very welcoming and helpful. Bed and breakfast... More

The staff could not have been nicer, the location is in the suburbs. This would be ideal if you have a car. The view is wonderful and the included breakfast delicious. Just don't expect much of a scene. This is more to relax than to experience the city.

We had great hopes of this guesthouse after reading positive reviews. We stayed two nights as stopovers while travelling across Namibia. On both occasions we stayed in Room 2 upstairs. While the team and owners were friendly and willing, the overall sense was that the place needed a really good spring clean (it was grubby) and to get some basic... More

The place was a stopover, and not the destination in itself. However, the place has a charm of it's own. It is situated in a quiet and safe neighborhood. It has a beautiful garden with swimming pool (we went there in August/September, so it was too cold to swim). The stuff and management ware extremely helpful, even allowing us to... More

HH became more and more special the better we knew it. (We spent our first two nights there and then went back twice). Alan, the owner, is a gentle, kind and thoughtful soul. He did everything in his power to make our lives easier and as safe and comfortable as he could. We pointed out a couple of problems: problem... More

Very comfortable room on second floor, with nice bathroom. The staff can prepare lunches and light dinners if needed, and breakfaast was excellent. We stayed here on our first jet-lagged night in Namibia, and it was the ideal solution. Very nice staff.

I spent my first and last nights at Hilltop in between a 15 day Kaokoland adventure. On my first visit, I was fortunate to be given the honeymoon suite with balconey, which was a great way to adjust to jet lag and time zone changes. On my last night in Namibia, I was downstairs in one of the smaller rooms.... More

We stayed twice at the Hilltop House. It is a good idea to plan at least one night in Windhoek directly upon arrival in Namiba and prior to leaving as luggage and flight issues are only readily managed from here. The Hilltop House is very convenient (although the "hilltop" makes it a bit tricky to find) to the main business... More

The Hilltop House is 5 mins from the city centre up on a hillside residential suburb. I found the service to be exceptional and very personal. There are only 6 or so rooms in the house so you get a very intimate service, with breakfast being brought to your room or out on their verandah if you wish. Rooms are... More
