"Galton House review"
1 night Arrived 10 Oct 2017
"We were impressed with Galton House. After a 24 flight delay they were able to accommodate us the following day at no extra charge. We were too tired to venture further afield for dinner but the meal we had at Galton House was excellent as was the breakfast. The staff were really welcoming."

"A comfortable stopover stay"
1 night Arrived 30 Sep 2017
"We stopped here at the start and end of our time in Namibia. Rooms are comfortable and staff helpful and friendly. The pool was welcoming during the hot afternoons. Although Galton House is on the edge of the city it is easy to find from the airport and also very straight forward to drive to the centre. Staff will advise on the route and where to park. We enjoyed looking round the craft centre there.
The only slight issue is regarding afternoon tea. It is advertised as complementary tea/ coffee and cake between 3-4pm. However, on both occasions cake was not available. The staff then set to and baked one which was delicious when it arrived sometime later." See all these reviews: 9n in Zimbabwe; 5n in Namibia

"Excellent stopover after flight to Windhoek"
1 night Arrived 21 Sep 2017
"Galton house was very comfortable and provided us with somewhere to relax after our flights.
The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was of a high standard. The provision of evening meals was very welcome as we had no desire to go out into Windhoek that evening to find somewhere to eat." See all these reviews: 14n in Namibia

"Lovely first night stay"
1 night Arrived 19 Aug 2017
"After a long flight it was good to have a convenient first night stop at Galton House, which was easy to find. The room was very light and spacious, just by the pool. The welcome was warm and the breakfast good. The house was comfortable and decorated with a lot of style, including some very good photographs. Plenty of interesting books to look at. Wifi worked well."
