Green / Sustainable Hotels in Botswana

"Comfortable one-night stay. The room was well furnished and in decent condition, though the AC was a bit tricky. Bathroom was very modern. The hotel has a nice decor,but some areas are showing signs of age. The pool area is nice and large, but could have been a but cleaner and needs new or more modern loungers and seating options. The food menu at the bar was limited, and the food was ok - not the best we had in Botswana, but not bad either. There was a DJ by the pool that was very loud (as seems to be typical in Botswana) but this finished at around 22:00 so did not disturb our sleep. There is no lift, but the staff did help by bringing our luggage up to our 1st floor room."

"Really enjoyed our stay here. It was such a characterful hotel and our room was gorgeous with beautiful views over the Chobe river from the balcony. The game drives and river cruise were really good and a reasonable price. I would say, the service was very up and down, sometimes outstanding, at other times quite cold and disorganised. The same is true of the game drives, one was incredible, the other was quite mediocre. Food too, sometimes was exceptional (like the BBQ at the poolside bar), at other times the buffet was chaotic and poorly managed (like the stir fry nights, where the food was really good, but the queue chaotic and badly thought through). But to be honest, for all of this, this just added to the charm and authenticity of this hotel. At times the inconsistency just made us laugh. For instance, ordering at the bar would take more than 2 hours for food to come; even if it was just a pizza! And one staff member asked us to buy her something from the shop, and seemed genuinely hurt and disappointed when we didn’t get her a gift. I wouldn’t stay here if you want total; polished luxury. But if you want character, authenticity, and a beautiful riverside lodge, I would easily recommend it and I would definitely stay again hence my 5 star review. I really had a soft spot for this hotel for all its eccentricities. "

"I have stayed at/visited several hotels in Gaborone, some of which might be classed as more "high end". The Travelodge compares with and often surpasses mostnof them. The rooms are large, comfortable and impeccably clean (as is the whole hotel). Dinning options are good but the real gem is the quality and friendliness of the staff throughout, from reception to housekeeping to dinning/bar staff. Clearly led by a friendly and dedicated GM. Highly recommended!"

"Everything is great about the hotel. I enjoyed my stay."

"A very reasonably priced well presented lodge, with semi detached three room units including self catering facilities. Friendly, helpful staff who obviously take pride in their work place and are dedicate to ensuring guests enjoy their stay."

"Excellent"
