Everything was fantastic, the dinners were delicious, the staff were kind and very helpful, plus the organisation of the excursions was simply great! Would highly recommend this place to anyone who's planning on visiting Sossusvlei.

A bit spartan, but hey … you re in the middle of the desert.

The place is completely hidden from the road, after a short drive you discover this oasis. Cars can be parked under a roof, and the rooms and bathrooms are a bit spartan but very okay. The staff is great! On the first night we joined a bbq under the stars in a secluded area, the second night we had a fixed dinner which was also very good. The pool area is super. Sunsets were wonderfull. Don’t forget to stop at the bakery in Solitaire. There sell a lot more then their apple pie!

Absolutely beautiful location with our rooms, pool and breakfast having fantastic views over the desert. The photos don’t do it justice. Everyone was so welcoming and the location was great to drive from Windhoek and close enough to get up early and head to Sousselvlei for a sunrise walk. Amazing stars at night and a lovely 4 course meal for supper. Thank you for our lovely stay.

Views, views and more views. The staff were warm and welcoming and the 4 course dinner spectacular and a treat.

They don’t provide drinking water in the room. So bring along your drinking water with you.

The receptionist was really friendly and took us to our room. We left early in the morning and he gave us breakfast boxes since we didn’t have time to have breakfast on the spot. The sunset was really beautiful and at night we can see the milky way. The room was spacious and the wifi signal was okay in the room. The view from the pool was superb, though the pool wasn’t really clean 😅 You can also climb the rock hill beside the lodge.

Amazing location, lodge was fantastic. Cannot fault this lodge in any way - staff were exceptional, rooms were large and well equipped, breakfast and dinners were amazing. Best lodge we stayed in the whole of our Namibia trip.

Nothing not to like, all was perfect!

We had a breakfast pack for us as we left very early in the morning, the breakfast was great!

Value for money is not great, the place is very expensive. You clearly pay a high premium for the location and being just about in reach for visiting Sossusvlei (but count on driving an hour on badly corrugated roads in the dark). The rooms and also breakfast are decent, but not the luxury standard which you would expect for the price.

Awesome setting that is really hard to beat. The design of the place integrated into a rocky desert is just perfect. Staff is friendly and helpful. Dinner was really very good. Packed (but a bit minimalistic) breakfast available if you want to leave early for Sossusvlei.

Lodge with the most beautiful sunset seen in Namibia. The room has a classic style, spacious and with animals that approach near the lodge. There is also an artificial waterhole with a post for animal sighting. The dinner both inside and outside was fantastic. Highly recommended.

We only spent one night unfortunately.

The place is exceptional, the location is the best we experienced in this part of Namibia and this is the best value for money. The dinner in the boma was the best buffet meal we have had compared to other larger and much more expensive lodges! I highly recommend this place. The website does not do this place justice, such a wonderful surprise, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Great location. Peaceful. Friendly staff. Great food.

Food was a big let down, and the reason for my down-rating. I came to Namibia to experience everything Namibian but the food overall was bad, apart from one night with grill. The night with grill was really great. Each night offered a five course meal. The food was without taste, not local or authentic. To say the least it was disappointing! Breakfast is as breakfast will be with limited options but dinner was bad!

The property was in Beautiful & tranquil setting.The swimmingpool was perfectly situated with exceptional view of the landscape. Perfect opportunity to connect with nature and relax. The overall design of the property and location fitted the surrounding Nature. The concept and design was perfect. It all matched well. I had a great stay. The tours/excursions available at the property are great. I did all of them. They were beautiful and worth it. A must do for all. I spent many days there, and I had a great time.

No wifi in the rooms, only around the restaurant and reception area, but that was not a big issue.

Excellent staff. Eriksson and Kai most helpful and service minded and with outstanding knowledge about birds and animals. We saw a lot of wildlife from our patio: oryx, wildebeest, springbook, jackal and many different kind of birds. Dinners in the evening under the stars. Food was very good.

Very few lodges have a view like Naukluft Lodge. It is located about 45 minutes from Sossusvlei, right by the Naukluft Mountains, precisely on the border between the Hardap and Khomas regions. The panorama and tranquility are overwhelming. From the terrace of each room, you can gaze across the vast savannah and a striking mountain backdrop on the distant horizon. Sometimes in the evening, a large herd of wildebeest comes right in front of the lodge to drink from the water. Oryx are scattered in the wide steppe grass. The lodge is very well-equipped. The brick bungalows are comfortable and stand out for the breathtaking view from the private terrace. A small pool with a shaded seating area provides cooling. The breakfast buffet is rich and sufficient, and the dinner is an excellent 4-course menu. The lodge offers shaded parking spaces for vehicles. The staff is extraordinarily friendly and attentive. We spent two nights here, and I will definitely come back.

We had a family room which was ok, but we thought it would need some renovation i.e. could be more modern and comfortable for the price.

The lodge is in a very nice location next to a small rocky hill looking into the beautiful dessert countryside. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful with all questions. The served menu was delicious and it was also possible to order it in a vegetarian version.

Everything was neat and tidy. The views are out of this world.
