Staff was very friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and well maintained. We had to check out very early but they made sure we got a boxed breakfast for our early start the next day

The staff, the room and food was amazing i could not fault this accommodation in any way.
Really nice and peaceful place. It feels like it’s in the middle of nowhere but the city is very close. Sunsets are absolutely beautiful. The friendly kitty added to the vibe!
River Crossing was beautiful. The accommodations were lovely. The setting was incredible. Staff were kindly, efficient, and welcoming. I wish my stay was longer.
The hotel is in a beautiful location, on the way to the airport.
The view from the terrace, where you can have breakfast, is magnificent!
The rooms are simple, but offer views of the valley or mountains.
The rooms are poorly cleaned; they are very dusty and dirty.
River Crossing Lodge is a rest for your soul. Magnificent views, excellent food, nice and comfortable rooms.
I enjoyed the firm bed and the option to book with their mouth-watering dinner included. I enjoyed walking around on the property and would highly recommend if you are in the area.
If you want to start your Namibia holiday straight after landing, this is a good place to start. Only 8 mins drive to Windhoek, it has stunning views from almost anywhere on the property, friendly staff, good food (dinner and breakfast). Visits from Cody the cat was a bonus.

Topnotch lodging accommodations, clean and friendly. Bring Bino’s for the wildlife out back !
Beautiful surroundings. The hotel manager organized a beautiful drive around the area. We saw lots of animals and a gorgeous sunset…highly recommended!
This is a unique place to stay and enjoy the true Namibian experience. The servers are quite attentive and friendly. The breakfast buffet is satisfying. Having an evening meal outside and looking the lights of Windhoek is a must thing.
Very nice location with great views: either towards the hills or towards the city. Great and friendly service with a smile. Rooms are well done with space for luggage. A small personal patio (or stoep as they call it) with comfortable chairs when used with the cushions from the inside chairs.
The view from this property, the nice rooms with the patios to enjoy the view and peace, the amazing food and wonderful staff as well as beautiful overall facility and pool area are some of the main factors I liked this hotel so much. The homemade bread is a total winner and the dinner was absolutely deliciously the service impeccable and set the tone for our trip. Recommend staying here and will be staying here again on my next visit.
Wonderful stay for our first night in Namibia. Not far from the airport and town but beautiful surroundings in nature. Staff extremely welcoming and friendly and we enjoyed a delicious three course dinner and breakfast. Highly recommend.
A perfect place to stay after a long overnight flight. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Rooms were comfortable and quiet. Restaurant meals were lovely - tasty and very well cooked. We had an excellent night's sleep and were sorry that our plans meant that we could not stay longer.
A nice lodge, composed of cottages in the middle of nature, with two beautiful swimming pools and also a restaurant open air. We recommend it, it's close to Windhoek and also practical if you arrive or depart from Hosea Kutako Airport
Great location for the airport. About 20 mins by taxi/shuttle. Great views. Evening meal was excellent but choice limited to a set menu of one! Room was very comfortable. Good views from patio and restaurant. I’d definitely recommend
