Second time in Windhoek, first at Gecko. We spent there two nights, after our arrival and before the departure. The house is very nice, rooms are all comfortable, clean and quite. Relaxing atmosphere close to the swimming pool.

We've stayed two nights in this B&B, at the beginning and at the end of our trip. We have been very satisfied. Our room was large, clean and comfortable. Maybe the furnitures are not so "glamour" or trendy, but the bed is comfortable and there is enough space to accomodate all the luggages without problems. The bathroom was large and... More

Meine Frau und ich schliefen in der Gecko Guest House am 10. Mai 2012 und waren sehr zufrieden.We left for Swakopmund the next day. We were so happy with our room and the service that we immediately booked to sleep over again, on our return, three nights later. Jochen Schindler bought the place late last year and has, (and still... More

If you like it unpersonal and unfriendly, than this is a good spot. The owner likes to use the f... word and prefers to make herself comfortable on the patio (or make her own party there). Don´t expect help if there is something not working in the rooms. There are better places to stay in Windhoek for a good value!

I stayed in this hotel twice during August 2011 and found the facilities to be comfortable but only just adequate. Unfortunately the first room I stayed in had a broken soap holder in the shower, a light bulb cover with the barcode sticker still on, an empty soap dispenser and a tap with a handle that came off !
