"A lovely welcome to Namibia"
Although not near the centre of town it was convenient for both airports. The room was very good, with the pool outside, although the air-conditioning unit over the bed dripped and at one point dropped ice on us!" See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia
"ideal stop over - intro to shower buckets"
"Nice"
"A very comfortable guest house and dinner"
We were made very welcome with a comfortable and quiet room at the rear. We had dinner here which was excellent, with complimentary sparkling wine to celebrate our Golden Wedding - a much appreciated touch.
We would recommend this accommodation." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia

"Galton House review"
Being miles away from any restaurants, we had our evening meal at the B&B. Much was promised, but it was over-rated and over-priced. The vegetarian option was good, but the only alternative, meat option, was disappointing.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. Nevertheless, we wouldn't go back there. Not a patch on Olive Exclusive." See all these reviews: 17n in Namibia
"Galton House - great first night stop"
Staff very friendly - especially the very lovely and helpful manager, although restaurant staff bit chaotic.
Exactly what we needed though to recover from a long flight before setting off on our adventures the next day." See all these reviews: 18n in Namibia
