Stayed in the Lodge and the room was pretty, clean and comfortable. The food in the restaurant was good but there is room for some staff training. The river view is disappointing but the bar has lots of atmosphere. As I said - better - but still some way to go.

Stayed just before Christmas and the place was ok, no frills, Service was ,,,,,,,,,, no frills. Rooms, spotless and lots of hot water. We accidentally left our room keys in the room ( doors lock automatically when you leave! )and when my partner went to get a spare key to open the door, the woman replied, where is your friend...

We stayed for a night as part of a group trip exploring Botswana and Zambia. Our group was camping and it has to be said that this was one of the more dusty campsites we had stayed in. It felt like camping in a car park as there was a lack of grass anywhere. Having said that, the ablution block... More

We stayed at this backpackers lodge one night recently and left promptly in the morning. The reception staff preferred to continue their own jovial conversations until conclusion before they decided to interact with their guests, a chore that was done begrudgingly because guests are obviously an irritating distraction in the staff playground. Thebe had no change in either USD or... More

I stayed here one night on a group tour through Botswana, I found the room to be somewhat cleaner than many of the other lodges we stopped in on the way through the country. Overall the room was comfortable with an adequate shower and sink, plus the first air conditioning I had seen in a week, a defninite plus! The... More

My wife, daughter, and I stayed for 4 nights. First night was in their "family room", that is actually 2 bedrooms (one with double bed and the other with 2 twins) plus a bathroom. This worked great and was economical. However, they only have one of these rooms and it was booked for the other days we were there, so... More

We enjoyed our stay, the rooms are nice, clean and cool. The bathroom is huge & nice & modern, the only downside was that they only have twin beds. We also did safaris from here & found the prices & vehicles were the same as everywhere else. The only problem was that they require a minimum of 4 for a... More

The rooms were basic, comfortable and clean. They lacked rugs which made it seem institutional like. The AC was a treat after not having some in a bit. The restaurant/bar area was a great place to hang out as it was lively. The services they provided for the Chobe River was excellent! The food and service were both pretty descent.... More

This lodge had great value rooms compared to other lodges in kasane. Rooms were a good size, very clean, mosquito nets in good condition, clean bathroom and good shower. Lots of overlanders camping in grounds but you have the choice to use restaurants in town. Although a great value stay we would suggest organising game drives or river trips elsewhere... More
