Mike
Only problem was that my tv had no signal in my bedroom however it worked in my brothers bedroom. Every thing else was excellent
Naude
I very nice property with all the amenities we needed for our over-night stop on our way to Namibia. The restaurant was great and offered a good range of menu options
Neil
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.
Larry
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.
Verified traveler
It was a very nice hotel. The restaurant and bar area is nice.

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

VERY GOOD!!!!
Henning
This hotel offers warm, comfortable hospitality and is a good place to stay in Ghanzi. We enjoyed our short stay there.
Raymond
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!
Verified traveler
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.
Clifford
The only thing that spoiled a bit was the construction work. Had park quite a way from the room.
Chris
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

Personnel sympathique, chambre propre , très bonne nourriture. Bien situé pour couper la route pour aller à Maun.

This huge accommodation is a good place to stop on the long way from Maun to Windhoek. The food was very good and the rooms nicely furnished.
Gabi
I can say , it was a pleasure to stay here, frendly staff and good food and a wunderfül pool, all I need
Josef Jürgen
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.

Schöne Unterkunft nur das Bad könnte größer sein.

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
Ritva
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.
