This place could be great! The location is perfect, the entry between huge rocks is impressive, they have their own ancient rock art and they have an impressive choir which was singing when we arrived. But then: the rooms are awful, the restaurant is low class, the service is poor. I can't say the employees are not friendly, but they... More

The only thing good about this place is the surrounding red mountains. Rest is downhill. We came here from Doro! Nawas and found the rooms to be extremely disappointing. The rooms are worse than 1 star hotels. The hot water did not work in our first room and so we were given another one. The reception folks were quick in... More

We came across Twyfelfontein Country Lodge by chance and I can only thank God for that. We were booked in to stay at Aabadi and when we got there were thoroughly disappointed with the whole camp. We decided to forfeit our payment and move on. What a pleasure it was to drive a further few km and find this haven.... More

Although the lodge is located in a beautiful area, the quality of the service, the food (buffet style, so come early) and rooms let it down. We stayed there for two nights, but in hindsight one would have been enough. The rock engravings are worthwhile a visit, but the organ pipes and petrified forest are not really worth a detour.

This lodge is built against the mountain.. It is very beautiful, luxurious with all necessities except no A/C in the rooms. We had a small incident which could have turned into a tragedy. Indeed there was a snake in our room. I had not seen it upon arrival. I saw it when I started to unpack. This snake (1.5 ft... More

We stayed here during our trip around Namibia. The rooms do not have aircon, no fridge and they hold the heat so there is no relief. Aside from that, the rooms are outdated and need attention. The staff are OK, though not overly enthusiastic and seem to be going through the motions unlike some of the other accommodation visited during... More

Twyfelfontein Country Lodge is unfortunately the only accomodation you can find close to Twyfelfontein engravings and stunning sorrounding areas (Organi pipes etc), and probably due to this the rates are way too high compared to what it can offers and compared to other lodges across the country. First issue is the aweful corrugated road to get there! Considering the last... More
