The Sossusvlei Lodge is a real oasis in the desert. The service is great as are the tented chalets. The included buffet dinner under the stars was a real highlight. The pool is very pleasant as is the cold Namibian beer. We will return

We recently spent 1 night at the lodge. The staff at the lodge are excellent and will try to meet any needs you have. The rooms are clean have have good facilities, taking into account the limited infrastructure being in the desert. The food is very good. Our only criticism is that the lodge is outside the park, which means... More

We stayed at this lodge for two nights 5/6th April. We were very disappointed with the room/tent. The zips did'nt work so we spent what time we had in the room in complete darkness!! We booked this holiday through a specialist agent, the picture of the rooms in leaflets do not relate to the actual rooms at all. The staff... More

I booked this hotel via Internet and payed 3 month prior to my arrival and requested a confirmation on several times with no luck. Unfortunately I arrived a day late at this hotel and the front office manager told me she would look into the problem and would come back to me but never did try to contact me. We... More

First room offered was overrun by ants....thousands of them, floor was literally covered with them. Room quickly changed to another basic box with canvas covered windows instead of curtains. I guess it might have worked if the zips worked, as it was hardly any did, the canvas behaved as it wished. Hanging loose here and there, once opened almost imposiple... More

Dear Lovetotraveldubai, The first rains of the season brought along ants and although we do our utmost to control them, we can’t always foresee where they will ‘invade’ next. Apologies for not meeting your expectations – we are currently busy with maintenance and the repainting of our rooms. Glad that you enjoyed our restaurant, food and wine selection! We thank... More

I travelled with a group of 09 and we all loved the lodge. If you consider that you are on the middle of the desert. This place is more than especial it is " UNIQUE" . The staff is very friendly and help us with all. The rooms are comfortable but bit warm at day time but fresh on the... More

What a jewel in the desert. We stopped by at various places in search of the right lodge to suit our holiday needs. This was the place! The most friendly people and the best food in all Namibia. The views are great and so we stayed longer than anticipated. We'll definitely be back!

This lodge is just outside the entrance to the national park and is therefore very convenient for an early start on the dunes. But beyond that its not got a huge amount to recommend it. The architecture is quirkly at best and distinctly odd at worst. This is exampled in the accomodation; part room part tent. The view across the... More

So sorry we could not meet your requirement with our very unique style, which by chance, happens to blend in perfectly well with the surrounding beautiful nature. This is the art of brilliant architecture combined with eco-friendliness for which we have won several awards. Some 98% of our approximately 30,000 guests per annum have only high regard for our lovely... More

Always want to stay longer. Fantastic location right next door to entrance to the National Park - the 60 kilometre drive to Sossusvlei. Fabulous rooms, bedroom walls constructed in canvas gives a real feel of being out in the bush, but with all the trimmings. Great bathroom with a good shower. Outdoor/indoor dining (your choice) with a gourmet selection whether... More
