Great option for business or transit stays when in Gantsi

Reviewed By Th3_Trav3l_Plug

Excellent option for business travel. Clean, great service and the rooms are tastefully decorated and clean. The refurbished property is got a warm city hotel feel, and the more traditional thatch rooms give options to those looking for the more traditional type of lodging. The WiFi was particularly good, and the rooms were quiet . The bar area quiet lively with a lot of guests having drinks and socializing after dinner which was a full buffet.

Perfect, in my Absence!!

Strangely enough I didn't make it to The Old House this time, but my guides and Client did and they absolutely LOVED it. The cozy atmosphere, fantastically friendly efficient staff and superb cuisine all added to their glowing experience. I was SO SAD I couldn't be there and have a yarn to Luke Riggs who has made this place better than your average home away from home. If their was 10 stars I would have rated 10 1/2!! Next time I will BE THERE, I can already almost taste the freshly caught seafood melting in my mouth, and the comfortable bed luring me in for a superb quiet nights sleep. Luke, Kagiso and everyone else a HEARTY Thankyou!!

Overnight Stop

Reviewed By adventuresofLa

Had to stay in Gaborone overnight to catch a flight to Johannesburg. My parents stayed as well to drop me off. Downstairs rooms 5 and 6 both have queen beds which are extremely comfortable. The rooms open onto the pool area. This is a wonderful place to stay. Staff are friendly and helpful. It’s fairly close to Airport Junction Shopping Mall (approximately 6km) and the airport is approximately 11km away. Everything at the Accomodation is well kept, clean and there is ample parking. I highly recommend overnighting here if you’re in Gaborone for a stop over for the airport, on business, on a shopping trip or just looking for a place to take time out for a night or two (my parents booked an extra night after dropping me at the airport!)

It's an okay Hotel

Reviewed By Samsammat

They are not too pricey, reception staff was friendly, helpful and welcoming. They need to improve their housekeeping though, my room was not made up for the whole day because i was in the conference with my key, there should be a copy or master key for the hotel. The housekeeping staff also needs to do a better job and respond promptly to customer requests. We had also booked a buffet lunch but they ran out of food, which also wasn't all that good. The second day the food was so much better. Overall, my experience was just okay, if you are looking for an affordable place you could definitely check them out.

Simple, but completely sufficient

Reviewed By Klaus F

The booking with booking.com (4 nights) was easy as usual. The place is rather good to find, there is a sign at the main road. Check-in was no problem, the staff is friendly and helpful. The place is in the center of the village, surrounded by a wall, equipped with an electric gate (guests get a key) and they have security at night. My room was small, but clean, with AC, shower and WC. The electric wiring made a makeshift impression, but all-in-all no problem there. Compared to other places in Kasane the price for a stay at this place is very reasonable.
