We are just nine Belgian friends travelling around the world for many years... but what ocurred in this guesthouse was unbelievable. After a long trip, coming from Brussels, Munich, Johannesburg to Windhoek, we were happy to arrive in Vondelhof-guesthouse. Five of us took a shower, while the others were having a drink at the (closed) pool. Our roomdoors were kept... More

I'm afraid the picture the guests paints is very different from what actually happened. I have already responded to another review from the same Belgian group about the same incident, but I feel I can't allow unfounded accusations like this to go unanswered. The guests in question left their rooms wide open and had their wallets lying on their desk... More

If you are seeking comfortable accommodation, reasonable rates and a convenient location in Windhoek, Vondelhof Guest House should be on your list. I have visited this establishment twice and have found it to be just what I wanted. The rooms are more than adequate, excellent water pressure in the shower (not always easy to find!), the continental breakfast more than... More

We stopped here at the start and end of our trip. We had a warm welcome from the owner and staff. The rooms were clean and tidy, a fridge and kettle were much appreciated. A short walk into Windhoek with it's shops and supermarkets - ideal when getting ready for your road journey.

I've had the great fortune of travelling to Namibia at least once a year since 2006. I've stayed at Vondelhof numerous times, although not always as I like to check-out other options and sometimes Vondelhof has been fully booked. Not only have I never had a problem there, I have always found the staff, particularly the owner Yvonne, very helpful.... More

1. Our room was average, nothing special. 2. From B&B one would expect to be welcomed by the owner. In contrary what we could see is that one of the owners was regularly sun tanning next to the pool (we thought originally that he was one of the guests but aparently he wasn't) and not really bothering to say something...

I, the owner of Vondelhof, am surprised about this review and would like to comment. Firstly, the sun tanning gentleman, the alledged owner who was so impolite not to welcome the guests, was not the owner but simply another guest. I, Yvonne Schadee, am the sole owner of Vondelhof and certainly make it a point to greet every single guest... More

The pool area sets the tone for a relaxing stay. It feels as if I was staying in guest room at a friends place. Enjoy the patio thats part of my room. Staff are all friendly. Must say that the breakfast was nice the first few day but afterward is totally boring. Close to all amenities which is plus.

Well, for a late arrival/early next morning departure, this place was just adequate. We were hoping for dinner, a good nights sleep, a shower and to be safe and secure. Staff here were pleasant and reasonably helpful, though they seemed tired, along with the whole place. They weren't trying to make our stay memorable or remarkable. As we moved into... More

The guesthouse is nice, room was very clean, they have a pool, internet cost 2,50 EUR for 24h. Breakfast was basic but totally ok. The 哲ICErestaurant (ask at guesthouse) has excellent food, prices range from 6 EUR to 20 EUR. I ate a starter plate for 8 EUR and that was plenty of food. Can also recommend the Oryx steak.... More

The Vondelhof Guesthouse was a pleasant surprise. It started out well with my and my son's online booking, with each enquiry answered promptly. Our experience with Vondelhof Guesthouse became even better upon arrival. The lady on duty was very helpful and remained so for the duration of our stay. We found the rest of the staff also very friendly. The... More
