Tlou Safari Lodge ★★★

"This lodge is relatively new, and consists of multiple separate units, some with single bedrooms and some with two beds/baths. It is relatively new and all units I saw are in good condition and were very clean; housekeeping staff were thorough. There is a small swimming pool and a restaurant. Staff are uniformly friendly and helpful, and there is an elevated wildlife deck looking out over the Chobe River. We were quite comfortable in the large double-bed room in one of the larger units. The restaurant is fine for breakfast and lunch but selection for dinner was very limited and we went out to eat after two or three dinners there. We did arrange a game drive through Chobe Nat Park through the lodge and we had a great time. Overall, I recommend this lodge, which is about ten minutes from the Chobe Park and just outside Kasane."

Luxe Residence Guest House ★★

"It's located in the local downtown area of Kasane. It was generally comfortable, but there were many insects flying around at night, so you need to repel them with spray."

Rustiek Hotel ★★

"Checked in on July 5th and checked out on July 6th. Enter the hotel in Kasane, Botswana from Zimbabwe on the platform. The male staff at the front desk was kind and answered all our questions. He told us how to visit Chobe National Park, helped us contact the cruise ship that afternoon, and told us the shuttle bus time from Kasane to Maun, although we later chose to fly. Went to Maun and personally drove us to the airport the next day. Here, I would like to thank the black front desk staff. The hotel does not occupy a very large area, but it has parking spaces and a restaurant. We had dinner at the hotel. I chose pork rice. There were four taels of roasted pork. It was fragrant and very delicious. The room is large, the bed is big enough to sleep four people at the same time, but the furniture is simple and the shower and toilet are separated; there is wireless Internet, but the speed is slow. The breakfast on the 6th was very unpleasant. I paid for the room rate including breakfast on the platform, but I was told that I had to pay for breakfast. I immediately contacted xc. After negotiating with the hotel, the platform persuaded me to pay for breakfast and then reimburse it with the invoice at xc. Although the platform finally solved our breakfast problem and reimbursed our breakfast fee, I still felt that there was no link. There was a problem because when we checked in, the front desk said we didn't pay, so we had to contact xc to solve the problem. The breakfast charge is clearly marked, I remember it was 80 pula per person, but the hotel accountant quoted xc 120 pula per person, which is a bit unreasonable."

Cresta Mowana Safari Resort & Spa ★★★★★

"While the property is very nice when you arrive and the staff greeting is wonderful things collapse rapidly. The place is so busy either tour groups and day trippers that the buffets are not refilled often enough. The only food is buffet style and often repeated. The pool by the spa is the only quiet place to relax but the bathrooms have no supplies. The “golf course” is 9 holes and appears abandoned (pro shop had a padlock on it mid-day). The rooms are adequate size but the beds are tiny (doubles not even queen sized). Our AC failed twice in 3 days and we had mouse droppings all over our patio which housekeeping ignored so using that part of the room wasn’t an option."

Wild View Resort ★★★

"I was scared at first because of the bad reviews, but our experience was completely different. The room was nice, clean and quite big, comfortable indeed. Everyone is nice and willing to help, the whole place is quite nice and well maintained. The only flaw is the limited, and fixed, restaurant menu, but the cook is available to do some customizations to your dish. I can say we had a nice stay for a affordable price. Recommended."

Thebe River Safaris ★★★

"The hotel is nice, the ecological environment is good, there is free WIFi, it would be better if the check-out time could be delayed"

Ichingo Chobe River Lodge by Mantis ★★★★

"Had an awesome experience, hospitality was great, very friendly and helpful staff, all meals were fantastic. To top it off fishing was good even though conditions were not conducive (serve flooding at the time) Will definitely be going back!"

Plateau Guest House ★★★

Chobe River Lodge ★★★★

"Chobe River Lodge has direct access to the river. From the terrace you have a beautiful view over the garden to the river. The warthogs tell you "although you are in a civilized environment here, it is still wilderness". The rooms are nicely furnished and offer a lot of space. All openings in the rooms are secured with fly screens, so there is no need for a mosquito net over the bed. We found this to be very pleasant. It would be very nice if all rooms had a safe, but that can certainly be arranged :-) The service is very good, you always have the impression that everything is very well organized. The food is very tasty and plentiful. A great and interesting pool with nice loungers invites you to cool off. The tour offer of "Wild Horizons" was fabulous with our guides BK (aka Botswana King :-)) and Tefo. Were we already flashed by the boat tour with BK, we have to say that Tefo was the best tour guide of our 3-week tour. The man is the hammer! Three game drives through the park with him and none was like the other. His expertise and commitment were great!"
