The Olive Grove is a very stylish guesthouse situated close to the city centre in a peaceful suburb and is one of our favourite places to stay in Windhoek. With only twelve rooms and suites it has a very intimate feel and a reputation for providing exceptional service and very good food. The staff here really has got the balance... More

Stayed 2 nights in mid-April in this very nice guest house. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful and the rooms were nice. One warning though, do not share a room with a person you don´t want to see naked! The bathroom, at least in the two rooms that we had, are open, without doors, so you have to feel... More

We stayed at the Guesthouse, not the posh flagship next door, but enjoyed it a lot. The family room no. 9 is spacious and when the brats are asleep you can sit outside at the pool having an ear/eye on them. Food, interior and staff are very nice and pleasant, the only downside is that the you here everything from... More

If you are going to be spending some time in Windhoek, this is a nice little spot. Location is fairly central yet 'out' just enough to feel away from the hustle and bustle. Staff are helpful and friendly. Room rates are reasonable and the rooms are large and all different/interesting. Food on site is quite good so eating in is... More

We stayed here the 1st of April overnight before our holiday in Namibia and it was lovely although we had a ground floor room it was very clean and quiet. The food was good and the staff were very friendly and helpful. We then finished our holiday and stayed again on the 7th April then we had an upstairs room... More

We found it to be a perfect little oasis to catch our breath - repack and prepare for our journey home. We didn't view it as Holiday destination - more as a transit stopover and therefore were not in the least disappointed in the way other reviews have been. The rooms are comfortable and large enough. The informal sitting room... More

Rather disappointed. We were in one of the original rooms in the hotel and it definitely shows its age. I would not recommend this hotel very highly. Its big plus is that it has free wi fi, but to take advantage of it, you basically have to be in the lobby. There are no exercise facilities and the pool is... More

While we certainly appreciate all feedback on our guesthouse, this one really has us confused. The date of stay is listed as April, and in March we closed the guesthouse for a period of time, and renovated the entire place. Each and every room was painted, all wood was sanded and varnished and overall maintenance work was done on everything.... More

On the positive side the staff were very welcoming and the buffet breakfast was very good Dinner at night was not inexpensive and very average.. It did provid an opportunity to meet with fellow travelers. Free WiFi was a bonus. The rooms were very disappointing! Stark with bare walls and concrete floors. The bathroom was similar with concrete wash basins... More
