4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

I have stayed here on Jan 2012. The hotel is cozzy, and everyone is very nice. The food is excellent. The only negative points: the swimming pools was completely green (dirty), the internet (which is only available on the restaurant) is unstable and sometimes there is lack of electricity (but that is something that affects the whole city). I would... More

I booked this hotel as it was recently upgraded, to overnight in Maun after our trip to the Delta. However, the upgrade does not extend to the whole hotel, only to a couple of rooms, which we did not have. We had two interconnecting garden rooms, which was exceedingly seedy, with dirty curtains and carpets, tired interiors and bathroom, mosquito... More

Reily's Hotel in Maun is just not worth the price you pay to stay there. This hotel is dull, dull, dull, with rude staff and very mediocre tired accomodation. The food was fine, but all in all definitely not worh a second visit. There must be something better in Maun! More

I enjoyed my stay there very much. It is like an oasis in the trouble, located close to the city centre. The hotel is clean and the rooms are well equipped. From the hotel you can do tours to the Okavango Delta and afterwards relax in the quiet garden or enjoy a meal in the restaurant. I also enjoyed it... More

We were delayed several times by Air Botswana and ended up staying in Maun overnight at Riley's (a Cresta property) Hotel courtesy of Air Bots. It was clean, air conditioned, and served a decent dinner and breakfast to our group of 12. It's not a destination hotel; but, it was much better than expected for a forced overnight in Maun. More

Do not stay at this hotel - Once a very popular stop off on the way to the Okavango Delta - this hotel has seen better days, it is dirty and not well maintained at all, The staff are unfriendly and the food is very suspect. There are a few new hotels in Maun - rather try one of them. More
