"Galton House-Excellent Service"
1 night Arrived 1 Oct 2013
"We so appreciated the great service we received on arrival. We can't remember the young man's name who checked us in unfortunately. He helped us find a money exchange and directed us to a gas station where we could fill up before returning the car to the airport.
We found it easy to find following the map as we approached from the south.It was also easy to get to the airport.
It was a very relaxing spot." See all these reviews: 7n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana; 3n in South Africa; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Galton House review"
1 night Arrived 27 Sep 2013
"Very pleasant place to spend the first night. Greeted by helpful and accommodating reception staff who quickly re-arranged accommodation to our previously requested twin room reservation.
Gilt was taken off this B&B by the need for some minor maintenance e.g bathroom fittings starting to show signs of wear and tear." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 2n in Botswana; 2n in Zambia

1 night Arrived 16 Sep 2013
"This is a lovely guest house with helpful staff. We arrived in the evening for a one-night stay and they went out of their way to provide a good dinner and take care of our laundry. That said, the meal was expensive by Namibian standards."

"Galton House review"
1 night Arrived 27 Dec 2012
"Long drive to Windhoek using the Spreeghoote Pass, no problem for the Toyota.
First impressions of Galton House, situated in a quiet area of Windhoek, is of a modern design on a old house after being madeover. No real outside area apart from the pool.O ur room was though, very spacious and comfortable. Our evening meal was adequate but very small portions for the price.
Unfortunately, although the manager was friendly enough, this place does lack any kind of atmosphere. OK for our last stop and a chance to visit Windhoek next morning. Sad to find the Zoo Cafe now gone and also the Old Brewery with its arts and crafts centre." See all these reviews: 12n in Namibia
