"We had a wonderful stay in the family room last week but the uninvited little blodsuckers ruined the night as they were so many in the upstairs area that me and the kids could not get any sleep at all. The zircon only kept the bottom part coos as well I should have packed something for mosquitos but forgot this as it's never this bad in Windhoek but because of the thatch roof it was a nightmare. There is no air circulating to the top so its extremely hot and makes you a clear target for mosquitis "

"We chose Aloegrove to relax for a couple of nights after our 1,800 mile tour of Namibia. The communication with the hosts Johan and Ivy was fabulous during the booking process. The lodge is a good 20 mins along a track, well signposted, and by this point we were used to Namibian roads, so the uneven bits were no surprise. We were greeted by staff and showed our fabulous accommodation, spacious and the attention to detail was brilliant, bubble bath for the bath with a spectacular view, beautiful quality bed linen, ground coffee etc etc etc... Everything is there that you could need! We self catered for the first night with the indoor braai, we ate at the lodge the second night, the chef made a beautiful meal and fantastic breakfast with scrambled ostrich egg. Afternoon coffee and cake is also a real treat. we joined Johan and Ivy's tour of their farm and feeding their rescued big cats. So informative about the all the animals. I highly recommend the tour, it was great fun and we learnt lots. Johan, Ivy and their lovely staff cannot do enough for the guests. On our last morning we sat down with a map with them and planned our net trip to Namibia, they shared their knowledge of the best routes and places to travel to, of course we will start and finish with a stay at Aloegrove! We stayed is some lovely places on our journey but nothing matched the luxurious experience at Aloegrove."

"We had an absolutely lovely stay at Village Boutique, the staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean, comfortable and equipped with everything necessary. Best of all was the tranquil environment to relax in. Would definitely recommend"

"VERY PLEASANT AND QUIET PLACE. CLEAN AND SPACIOUS ROOMS. CHARMING CORNERS AND TASTEFUL DECORATION. RESTAURANT WITH A VARIED MENU AND WELL-PREPARED FOOD WITH AN EXQUISITE PRESENTATION. FRIENDLY, AVAILABLE AND ATTENTIVE STAFF. "

"Cosyly furnished, clean and spacious room with large bathroom. Great is the proximity to a first-class restaurant with a large beer garden and beautiful terrace. The restaurant is also frequented by locals and is really recommendable. There are not only pizza, burgers and steaks, also wild foods. Breakfast buffet is varied and delicious. "

"It is a beautiful spot, quiet and secluded. However, it is could be much better if they just take more care on their food and beverage. The restaurant is cold, boring….. no pleasant lighting, no music, no camp fire etc."

"We spent 2 nights at the amazing place and it is an absolute dream come true. This being our 3rd trip to Namibia is definitely one of the best lodges we stayed at. Being family run it gives an extra special touch and I can highly recommend this special place to anyone. We had the best food on our whole trip which was a bonus. We absolutely loved it and will definitely try to inculde it on our next trip back"

"Long time since we've been there. Really enjoyed the stay - friendly people, nice rooms and excellent service. Thank you."

"This was the first time I’ve ever been truly disappointed by an accommodation. While the bungalows are practical, they lack any real African charm. But several things just didn’t meet expectations: • There were no curtains, so there’s no privacy and you’re woken up at sunrise, whether you want to or not. The manager explained that some guests apparently like this, but it didn’t work for us. • There were no mosquito nets, so we spent the night battling bugs. The manager’s solution? Just spray them with insecticide. • After dinner, paths to the rooms aren’t lit, and since they’re rocky, it’s safer to use your phone’s torch. A few minor things were also annoying: • The toilet seat was patched together with tape. • Bottled water isn’t complimentary. • The ceiling fan barely cooled the room, even with the temperature at 35°C. The biggest issue was the number of insects in the room. The good thing, the team was kind and efficient When you look at reviews on Tripadvisor, you’ll notice the positive feedback is all old, while the negative reviews are recent. The owner only responds to the positive ones — never to any criticism. As for the Cheetah Conservation Fund activity, I wouldn’t recommend booking it through this lodge. It’s a two-hour round trip, and it’s actually much easier to visit the center first and then arrive at the lodge. Even better, there’s a lodge right next to the CCF. Bottom line: I wouldn’t recommend stopping here."
