Tamboti guesthouse is located near the center of Windhoek, but in a quiet neighborhood. Manager/owners are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is wonderful and varied from cereal and fruit to cold-cuts and cheese. The property is fenced in by a tall fence. Rooms are basic, but clean.

We stayed at Tamboti at both the start and end of our safari with Wild Dog who had booked this as part of the package. Our experience seems to have been much better than others who have reported. We had a very warm and pleasant welcome from the owner, we were quickly shown to our rooms and had the facilities... More

when arriving in the dark the guest house is difficult to find .the rooms are practical and straight forward .the T/V on the table makes it difficult to watch T/V while laying in bed . the breakfast is above average and the service was very good ..

In a similar scenario as Kryptikmo we had encountered a taxi fiasco with Tamboti. We were recommended Joe's for dinner and they suggested that we only use their "private" taxis as most other taxis would not know where the guesthouse is. On our first stay we had no problems. The taxi driver apparently has been working for Tamboti for over... More

This was out stop over point after a flight into Windhoek. The rooms are small, but comfortable enough and the bathrooms are fine also. Breakfast was disappointing - no hot food and fairly basic. The TV has only a few channels and there's nowhere we were told about within walking distance for dinner or drinks. It's fine for a brief... More

Found this guest house to be acceptable for a one night stop over after a long flight. The rooms are very basic, although the grounds are nice. We found a little missing in the hospitality. The guesthouse does not serve dinner which is fine but after 24 hours of travel we were looking for some dinner. We were shown to... More

Basic room with a fridge, air con, twin beds, en-suite etc. Plenty of space for luggage and secure storage offered for a late check out. Walked to a local restaurant which was recommended. Felt safe. Good value for a City. Friendly staff and nice breakfast. Internet available.

Highly recommend. Also recommended by Lonely Planet and used by Wild Dog Safaris, so I'm in good company! Sigi and her son Olaf extremely friendly, professional and helpful. I stayed here a number of nights on and off between various trips, left some items in between, etc. Very good value in my opinion, and only a 5-10 minute walk to... More

Clean en-suite rooms , not luxurious but plenty of hot water. Only soap provided,no other toiletries. Breakfast was simple.Any additional tea and coffee had to be paid for separately. Friends who stayed in other... More

I had booked 4 nights in Tamboti's only self-catering flat, but arrived to be told that they needed it for someone else! I was allotted a room without self-catering facilities (but which was the same price as the better room) & agreed to stay for 1 night, because I needed access to their wireless broadband, before moving on to a...
