The room was clean and the staff was courteous. Food was mostly well prepared, although some improvement is needed (e.g., grilled chicken burger was dry and over cooked).

Everything was great. The only drawback was I chose to eat at the restaurant in the Lodge one of the nights. It took over 50 minutes for my food to arrive. Otherwise everything was good.

I booked this property for my wife. The facilities were acceptable but the service was quite poor. It seems the front desk needs proper training. They could not find her Orbitz booking at check-in for a long time and did not apologise. It happened again at check-out. Overall it seemed like they were not well trained for the hospitality industry. There are better options in Gaborone.

My room was lovely and very spacious. I had a king size mattress which troubled me as the sheet didn’t fit properly and there was no mattress protector. Other than that it had everything you would need even a bar fridge. The bathroom was very clean with extra lighting.
