This is a very nice place to stay in WHK. We had a comfortable and spacious ensuite room accommodating 2 adults and a child. The staff were friendly and helpful. Good service. As we stayed at the Rivendell in December 2008, we were told to be careful when going to town by taxi. Christmas lay ahead and that might have... More

Nice place, clean rooms and very friendly staff. Can't ask for much more! Wish I could have spent more time at the pool but will definitely be staying here if I'm ever back in Windhoek. Already missing Frodo the divert friendly cat!

We stayed here both the first and last nights of our trip. Very comfortable for and in-and-out experience. This is away from town and had a secured parking lot. It is in a residential area so there are no restaurants within walking area but the town is easy to drive in (if you avoid the downtown traffic at rush hour... More

This place has a friendly and relaxing atmosphere, the staff are great, and the rooms are clean & comfy. This was my second time to stay in Rivendell. I found myself in Windhoek waiting for car parts from South Africa, and every few days I had to go to the front desk and ask for a few more days to... More

Our family needed a comfortable apartment type dwelling with air conditioning and DSTV for a four night stay after traveling two continents. The family "flat' at Rivendell was perfect for our needs, fully equipped with all kitchen items necessary to eat in rather than dining out. The pool was a welcome Oasis to relax in and also very clean. I... More

I will come back again. only problem is the internet connection for those that need it in order to work (there is internet, but quite expensive and not very fast). I would suggest to offer... More

Many thanks for taking the time to write your review, we're very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! In light of similar comments regarding the internet service, we have asked Telecom for quotes on a faster service which does not make use of their 'scratch card' system. That way, as you suggest, we can hopefully offer... More

A perfect place to stay at the beginning and end of our trip to Namibia. Along with our children we had rooms 1 and 4 which were beautiful and spacious and extreamly keen. The proper English breakfasts were scrumpcious and there was lots of choice for the continental breakfasts too. The staff were friendly and helpful especially Ciska. We really... More

Stayed in the single room, with adjoining bathroom. The bed and pillows was very comfortable. Coffee/tea and hot water boiler are available in the room, along with a fan and some insect repellent (and mosquito net). Only hand soap for the sink and towel provided (no shampoo or body wash). Double bed rooms have large glass sliding doors that look... More

Many thanks for your review, we're very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. We are looking into the viability of offering free WiFi for next year, at the moment the prices that Telecom charge us are a bit too high with our prices, but we realise that this is something that our guests would really appreciate....

This guesthouse was great for us. The pricing was good and breakfast yummy. We stayed here on our way into Namibia and also back out. The staff are friendly and the premises is safe. There is an onsite travel agency as well and the pool was very popular in the Namibia heat. Rooms have fans. We'll definately use Rivendell for... More
