Found this guest house to be acceptable for a one night stop over after a long flight. The rooms are very basic, although the grounds are nice. We found a little missing in the hospitality. The guesthouse does not serve dinner which is fine but after 24 hours of travel we were looking for some dinner. We were shown to... More

Basic room with a fridge, air con, twin beds, en-suite etc. Plenty of space for luggage and secure storage offered for a late check out. Walked to a local restaurant which was recommended. Felt safe. Good value for a City. Friendly staff and nice breakfast. Internet available. More

Highly recommend. Also recommended by Lonely Planet and used by Wild Dog Safaris, so I'm in good company! Sigi and her son Olaf extremely friendly, professional and helpful. I stayed here a number of nights on and off between various trips, left some items in between, etc. Very good value in my opinion, and only a 5-10 minute walk to... More

Stayed here on 3 different nights when inNamibia. We had two different rooms. The first one did not have air-con but the second had efficient system. Clean en-suite rooms , not luxurious but plenty of hot water. Only soap provided,no other toiletries. Breakfast was simple.Any additional tea and coffee had to be paid for separately. Friends who stayed in other... More

I had booked 4 nights in Tamboti's only self-catering flat, but arrived to be told that they needed it for someone else! I was allotted a room without self-catering facilities (but which was the same price as the better room) & agreed to stay for 1 night, because I needed access to their wireless broadband, before moving on to a...

We spent a total of 5 nights at this lovely Guest hotel in Windhoek. The owner and staff were very friendly and made us feel at home. The hotel grounds and rooms were kept very clean, and the terrace and breakfast room nicely decorated. Quiet neighborhood. The well stocked fridge with beer, wine, water and cold drinks proved to be... More

We stayed here twice in August - before and after a trip to the north of Namibia. The guesthouse is a convenient 10 minute walk into town during the day and about €4 at night. Each of the rooms open out onto various courtyards and there are two swimming pools. There is a self service bar which offers a wide... More

We stayed two different nights in Tamboti - one in the middle of our trip and one at the end of our trip. It is a lovely guesthouse. Very clean and the staff was friendly and accomodating. The decoration is simple and the rooms have the standard amenities. What stood out for us was the yummy breakfast, internet, bar, pool,... More

My family and I have stayed in this centrally located guesthouse many times over the past year (we live in a smaller town 2.5h north of Windhoek). Rooms are clean, spacious. Two pools that are fresh and cool (my favorite being the deep pool by the bar). Breakfast is cold (no eggs or bacon), but always very well done and... More

We stayed here twice on our recent three week safari to Namibia & Vic Falls. We enjoyed the peace and quiet after each weeks camping. The rooms we had were very both good and the second one even had a sitting area with couch and chairs. Breakfasts are great and nothing is too much trouble for the staff. There's a... More
