The staff at reception is not very nice. The safe in my room did not work properly.

The room is ok for the price.

Reception was not very helpful to find a taxi to the border

Nice place to stay, with quite good food. But do not take the rooms along the road, they are noisy. They also arrange nice halfday trip

Just a suggestion- food menu could be more varied

Beautiful setting, friendly staff and great location! Booked a night and stayed a second night. Has a great feel to it.

Unfortunatly, a little noisy at night...specially room 5...noise from people outside talking or watching something on their phone...until quiet late.. And also people from the room above...

Nice rooms, comfortable...nice little restaurant...The females staff were very nice...the food is good...and the capuccino excellent... Very well situated...with the river closeby..practical for river cruise pick up and drop off... And not very far from Chobe park gate... Also lots of birds...

Veg options at the restaurant are limited. An option of a fridge in the rooms would be welcome given Kasane heat.

Luke & his team are always super responsive, friendly & helpful. Old House has great character & always a comfortable stay.

Cold shower one morning . Some of the staff seemed unfriendly and bored with their work. Other staff were happier.

Quirky appearance with a tropical feel in the surrounding gardens. Felt safe walking about 10 minutes down to the shopping area along the main road. Room was comfortable although the bed was small. Breakfast was very good. Ate in the restaurant twice for our evening dinner and we enjoyed the food served. The safari drive we took one morning was excellent thanks to our guide Andrik who was knowledgeable and obliging. The sunset cruise booked through The Old House was disappointing since the guide was most reluctant to explain anything or point things out unless she was asked a direct question.

Dinner prices a bit high.compared to other places.

Nice breakfast and breakfast area. Wild animals right infront of you when having a meal.

Well I ended up not spending the night there. I was looking for comfort but when my room was presented to me, I was shocked what they call double room was just a bigger single. I could have stayed if it was even a queen bed! I hope to get my refund. Ended up going to Cresta. Big hotel hotel but nevertheless very comfortable beds and actually it made my visit to Kasane very well worth it.

I loved the access to the riverfront and the premises and room were spotlessly clean. Breakfast was plentiful, WiFi worked well. Seeing a bushbuck in the garden at night was priceless and so was the sunset birdsong. Staff, whilst always professional and friendly, just didn't seem happy.

Double-bed-size for us tall and larger individuals

Ambience warm, decorated dining room with additional African and bird art theme and included history of William Lamont was a bonus of this special B

It was a lovely set up, comfortable spacious rooms

Wifi works well in only a small location outside main office. Little variety for breakfast (full English or cheese omelette).

Property is well kept. Reception was very helpful in arranging afternoon boat cruise when I arrived and shuttle to airport for departure. Convenient to have on-site resto/bar. Also close to a cafe, Italian restaurant and Spar. Kalahari Tours 5 min walk away.

Nothing

Just everything ! So relaxing after hectic safari 😂

We couldn’t enjoy the romantic side of the hotel as there were continuous football match shows on tv screen in the restaurant in the evening, it felt a bit like in an English sports pub.

Beautiful ambience, lots of greenery which offers such a relief after scorching heat, vintage look, nice menu in the restaurant

The loft room got very hot & as the AC was at one end behind the main bed it didn’t penetrate down to the other end where the 3 single beds were. Bathroom needs an upgrade & Shower needs replacing.

Set in a lush garden very close to the river with a nice dining area with good food well priced & small pool. We had the lift room. Which was spacious, beds we’re comfortable & bedding was good quality. You can book river & land safari trips into Chobe NP.

I can't think of anything.

Very nice location, nice hotel, wonderful staff, decent breakfast - and the best mosquito net in years, one that actually WORKS and is not super annoying like most of them ;) We also did the Sunset cruise from the hotel, and the guide had eagle's eyes, so even though I have been around and am a good spotter myself, he helped me see some rarer occurrences! Location is right in the middle of Kasane. Kasane to me (with plenty of Africa experience) is a safe place, like most everywhere in Botswana, by the way. Of course you need to be street-wise, but I know plenty of suburbs in European cities that are a lot less safe than Kasane.

At check in, the lady at reception said check out is at 10am and the room might not be ready. Asked her to check then find me at the restaurant. She never got back to me until I went back to reception to check after about an hour only then did she confirm that it was ready.

Clean, great value for money, great location

A simple lodge with lush vegetation, small water features, rustic sitting areas and quirky art work which all contributed to a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The open space between the dining area and the river was visited by interesting birds, warthogs, and (on one occasion) baboons at play.

Our room had super steep stairs, so tough with our suitcases. The A/C blew right on our heads and we could not adjust it and there was loud music from a nearby bar that went on at least until midnight, so not the best sleep. Restaurant staff not very welcoming.

The gardens were pretty and there is a restaurant on site that was handy. The driver for our transfers to the airport was super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was ok.

Airconditioning had problems with the heatwave and so did we. Internet reception was weak. Meals from the restaurant could be improved. Breakfast was ok.

Rooms were ok, 3 beds didnt leave much space. Restaurant very nicely set up in garden atmosphete

Liked the property.

Cute and very comfortable.

There was a lamp and side table beside the bed closest to the bathroom; the lamp wasn’t plugged in, and there wasn’t a place to plug it or my electronics in. In a time where everyone has gadgets, there needs to be plenty of space for plugging things in, especially for International travellers who have big and bulky adapters. With the hot weather we had hoped to swim in the pool. Unfortunately it appeared very dirty, thus opted to sit in the sweltering heat. The staff was lovely, but after asking a few different questions we came to the conclusion that the staff wasn’t aware of the types of questions foreign travellers may have, or don’t feel empowered to give responses to guests. Either way, it tarnished our experience in this lovely B&B.

The location was great. The room was spacious and looked and felt lovely.

It is a lovely character property near the river with great rooms, service and food

It would be super to have a mini fridge in the rooms .

I have stayed at The Old House on a number of occasions and it is like returning to an old friend . You know that the rooms will be clean and comfortable. That the towels and bed linen will be fresh and of good quality and that the AC works . It’s location, on riverside , will always bring delights , whether that be sunset splendour , or the opportunity to sit and take in the beauty of the river environment. The restaurant and bar staff are always on good form and the food remains a big plus . The towels by the pool are a welcome addition , as are the multi plug sockets It’s also great having a Safari company working alongside the residence . I will be back .
