"Galton House review"
Positive:
Very clean tastefully executed room with a spacious bathroom, At the wall beautiful (black and white) pictures of wild animals. The whole B&B gave me a quiet luxury feeling, even around the swimming pool.
The food (breakfast, lunch and diner) is simple but very tastful.
The staff is warm and very helpful, spacially the manager.
It was a pleasure to be there.
Negative:
It took the ordered taxi for visiting Windhoek more then 1 1/2 hours to arrive. Almost to late to go. But I went and found Windhoek not interesting and dull.
The next morning, waiting for the pickup to the airport, it turned out that my flight was not in the morning but in the afternoon. Because of that I was arriving late insted of early on my next destination." See all these reviews: 13n in Namibia

"Wonderful location"
There was a problem in that it was almost impossible to stop the shower flooding the whole bathroom (and more!). It needs a "lip" to stop the shower overflowing into the bathroom." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 4n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
