We had no electricity in a room and I was calling 4 times and went to reception for maintenance assistance and was late because of it for safari. Also got poisoned on a breakfast with minced ostrich. The staff is not liable at all.

Loved the pool, the view, the location, the design the staff. The shop was reasonable for prices surprisingly. Food was also good . I enjoyed the buffet for dinner and breakfast - lots of choices. Also loved the poolside menu and cocktails Room service was available - did not try. Upstairs commissioners restaurant was closed as hotel not full.The room was luxurious.only negative :Private boat company in nextdoor plot played loud music one night after it docked as music blared while staff took ages to clean it . This is not the fault of the hotel as sent someone to tell them. Will be back

Good, but
the location and and staff service was great, but wifi was sporadic and was cut off many times. mosquito net has a few big holes, and AC was not working properly in living room.( the room was suite.) They need to keep up with the maintenance. Other that, the activity guides were great, and the hotel ambiance is like a jungle with full of nature.

Chobe Marina Lodge Kasane Botswana
Firstly, we had to wait for the shuttle service after requesting transport to the hotel, then the available shuttle at the airport was booked for someone else and a game viewer were sent to transport our group. it was terrible, we we bundled into vehicle with luggage on some seats. despite booking online a week prior, our reservation was not ready , etc. most of the restaurant staff couldn't understand basic English and we had to wait extra long for almost everything. Also, we asked for double or queen bed, got the opposite, 2 single beds in our room. the game drives weren't organised & it was a little frustrating at times. It is definately not my favourite lodge in Kasane!

We had an amazing room located close to the river (room 3) The hotel really gave us the relaxing feeling we were looking for. If they could improve one thing, I would suggest to use more dimmed lights.
