Room not ready.

Our stay overall was alright - however when we arrived at 6pm, they didn't have our room ready yet so we had to wait an extra 45 minutes before we could check-in.

Love the Kalahari Arms

The Kalahari Arms has had quite a makeover since the last time I stayed here. The staff are friendly and efficient. The rooms (we rented 2) were excellent -- large queen bed, two chairs and a table inside, a table and 4 chairs on the veranda, an excellent work space, large flat screen TV with a decent (but not great) DSTV bouquet, shower and all bathroom fixtures are brand new including a motion sensor light which can startle you at first if you stand still for a moment! The grounds are immaculate, the pool is clean and big, and the restaurant has indoor and patio (under a high thatch roof) seating. The food was excellent too. The one drawback was a dodgy wi-fi system and given how the covid era makes us all work online, I hope they'll upgrade that system soon.

Had breakfast included in my stay but was charged on my last day for the breakfast which I found disappointing. The manager was not available and I was in a hurry as it was before 7am and I had a 6 hour drive that day.
I got the card from the office for the manager and sent a email asking for a refund, I also sent a email to the hotel administration.To this time I have had no reply and no refund.My intent was to find some lions which I did

The restaurant need to get some serious shaking up. Ordered a meal 4 times for dinner...the first 3 option were not available and the waiter did not know that. He came back 3 times to tell us. The final choice was really not nice at all. did not even eat. Otherwise is was ok; but only just!

We stayed at Kalahari Arms both on the way up and back from the Delta and stayed at one of the family chalets. We were able to check in early, which was great when my mom wasn't feeling well. The restaurant on site is very handy and serves giant portions. The room was clean, comfortable and more than adequate for our purposes. The grounds are well kept and everyone was very kind. The pool was drained on both our visits, which wasn't a big deal since it was winter anyway, but would hope that's back in service soon. Will plan to stay here again if we travel from Namibia to the Okavango again.

Bad odour in room

The room had unpleasant odour which was due to application of a insect repellant applied to wood bed headboard to avoid borer infesting (the cleaner provided this info to us)
We had to move to another room late night as the effect of the odour was unbearable causing nasal/breathing issues
It is unthinkable that management could expect anyone to occupy a room under these conditions

Das Hotel eignet sich gut für eine Zwischenübernachtung. Es finden zur Zeit Bauarbeiten statt, was zu Lärmbelästigung tagsüber führt. Einige der Arbeiter wohnen auch im Hotel und telefonierten während unseres Abendessens die ganze Zeit lautstark am Nebentisch.

Chalet leider kein Poolblick wie gebucht

Das Chalet mit Poolblick hatte keinen Poolblick, es sei denn man hat die Tür nach aussen geöffent und an den davorliegenden Chaltes vorbei geschaut. Leider wurde auch überhaupt nicht darauf eingegangen. Das Restaurant ist ziemlich laut wenn einige Gäste da sind. Allerdings alles sicherlich guter Standard für Botswana

Kalahari Arms

Hotelli hyvällä paikalla keskustassa mm. bussiaseman lähellä. Henkilökunta erittäin avuliaita ja ystävällisiä, vaikka aina ei ollutkaan oikeaa tietoa esim. bussien kulkuajoista. Kaikki tervehtivät kohdatessa. Piha siisti ja hyvin laitettu. Iso uima-allas ja alue oleskeluun erikseen. Ravintolassa hyvä palvelu ja ruoka, samoin aamiainen. Kauniisti koristellut käytävät. Huoneessa jääkaappi ja vedenkeitin, jotka erittäin tervetulleita. Pieniä, mustia muurahaisia huoneessa, ehkä sateen jälkeen? Paljon henkilökuntaa ja ammatillisesti pukeutuneita ja käyttäytyviä.

Für die Durchreise mangels Alternativen ok

Da wir nur auf der Durchreise waren ist es ganz ok gewesen. Aber Für mehrere Nächte würde ich das nicht empfehlen. Im Zimmer sehr schwankender wifi Empfang. Eine der Klima Anlagen im Zimmer funktionierte nicht. Die Zimmer sind sehr knapp bemessen (sehr schmaler Durchgang am Bett, kaum Platz um Koffer oder Taschen am Boden abzustellen) aber da es am Ort kaum Alternativen gibt kommt man kaum drum herum.
