"Olive Grove review"
1 night Arrived 1 Jun 2014
"It was a bit difficult to locate. The wifi did not work (which was problematic mostly because Paul's father was in the hospital and we were trying to stay in touch).
It was a bit difficult to get out for our very early flight (e.g. the front door had a large bar across it which I had to remove, but no one had warned me about it) and all the lights were off on the stairwells. They did pack us a bag of snacks as we missed breakfast." See all these reviews: 8n in Namibia; 5n in Botswana

"Olive Grove review"
1 night Arrived 26 May 2014
"This was a miserable experience. The low point of an otherwise wonderful trip. The original booking for their luxury suite on the second floor involved a flight of stairs that made it impossible for Patsy with her bad knee. The substitute on the first floor we called the "Fuhrer Bunker". It was small. It was all concrete. There was one tiny window in the bathroom. The room opened directly onto the dining area/patio with glass doors and curtains and no privacy.
We cancelled our reservation for a stay on the return trip. Is there any chance of a refund?" See all these reviews: 10n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana

Feedback Response
Expert Africa apologised for these guest for allocating them an unsuitable room, and arranged a refund for them. This was due to confusion over where Olive Grove's suite was located, because they originally offered a ground floor suite. It was a mistake made by us, and we are very sorry it happened.

"Great place to stay"
1 night Arrived 13 May 2014
"Very comfortable guesthouse/small hotel. First night we had large upstairs room with sitting area.
Food is excellent. Staff helpful, providing 5 am breakfast to room on our last night when we had an early flight. A bit far to walk easily to centre, but easy drive." See all these reviews: 15n in Namibia; 3n in Botswana
