"Villa Violet review"

2 nights Arrived 24 Apr 2022
"Room was nice with limited wifi in room due to its location in the complex.

The staff was outstanding and took care of all of us as we arrived in Namibia. A great place to stay at start of our trip. Staff recommendations for restaurants and arranging taxis was very helpful. Taxi necessary for getting around in the area without a vehicle." See all these reviews: 16n in Namibia; 8n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Villa Violet review"

1 night Arrived 7 Aug 2021
"A pleasant stay on a quick overnight. The owner was onsite the following morning and was extremely helpful assisting us in getting our Covid test appointment set up. The online forms were tedious and not clear in some places.

There didn't seem to be a lot of choices for dinner within a short distance of the lodge and we were uncomfortable straying too far. But we were happy with Joe's Beer House." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 8n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe

"We spent only one night at Villa Violet on our way to Sossusvlei from Etosha. It was a good choice.

The owner recommended a nearby restaurant for dinner, and we really enjoyed our meal. She also helped us with booking covid tests on-line." See all these reviews: 10n in Botswana; 8n in Namibia; 2n in Zimbabwe
