Location was good breakfast was good
We were hosted in the furthest cottage/room although loads of space were available closer to the main area. Seems this is the place where the security guards sit and chat the whole Nite. We had dinner which was extremely disappointing. My wife ordered a baby chicken, it was the size of two matchboxes. We asked the waiter beforehand if the dish was filling. The waiters clearly did not know the menu. Extremely disappointed in such a highly rated hotel.

Fabulous food,
amazing views and vibes, the home of the Baobab has never let me down!
happy staff and well led team by the Wonderful GM Carole. I first went to mown as a17 year old boy after winning a national art competition and was flown by Air Botswana. Me and my little brother were looked after really well and in my 40's to experience it with a slightly grown up lease is magical when you receive such utmost warmth and hospitality. Difficult to put in words, you have to experience it to appreciate it.
I have no qualms about the place.
nothing to fault

I liked how attentive the front desk staff were as well as our assigned housekeeper Dikitso. She was exceptional & very kind-hearted. She even found my USA-ID outside our door which happened to have accidentally fell out of the wallet from the previous night while removing the room key. She did a wonderful job cleaning our rooms during our stay. We recognized her dedication and hard work. Thank you Ms. Dikitso.
They need to have complimentary bug sprays in each room as the mosquitoes were brutal. That kinda put a ding on the comfort level. Other African hotels we’ve stayed at have them available complimentary in their rooms.

The views. seeing the river from our room
The restaurant service for lunch was very poor. The entire hotel doesn’t have a microwave which is disappointing for such a well-established place, so if we needed to re-heat food, they re-cooked it which resulted in burning
6.0
Amazing Views.
The shower had black mold developing and no effort to remove it was made before occultation of the room.
We were a family of 4 but only received towels for 2.
The veranda/stoep/patio area outside the room is not roofed, therefore when it rained the whole area got wet and slippery.
There aren’t any children’s play facilities.
