Verified reviewpoor

We made a booking with the lodge, but chose not to stay there. Firstly the description, "The lodge is peaceful and relaxing with beautiful river views" was totally misleading. The lodge is on the road FAR from the river. It was also not peaceful. We were greated whith VERY LOUD kwaito music that two of the guests were playing at the communal lapa. No staff in sight. We waited 10 minutes at the gate and another 15 at reception, no staff at all. The pool (the whole reason for our book, since we had the kids with us) was empty. They had to do maintance (which I understand) but maintance could have been done in off peak times, and could have been communicated to me (since I was in communication with the venu, just a few days before our booking), The empty pool was also not safe (a few red tape around the area, not close to the pool) kids could have easily fallen into the hole. I am sure the houses and the rest of the lodge would have been nice, but since we had a HORRIBLE first impression we did not feel that it was safe or "lodge like" at all. More of a party venu. I called the venu after leaving, they were not apologetic at all, and said that the loud guests were out of their control. I am sorry, but if you want your venu to be a disco and bar, you should advertise it like that. Was a big disappointment after a wonderful Namibian vacation. Would not recommend at all.

I had an amazing stay at the lodge. The staff are top notch and the owners really do go the extra mile to make sure you are taken care of. I highly recommended the lodge.
