Over all a good place to stay, clean rooms, friendly staff, nice pool.

Breakfast is a bit expensive and you will need a taxi to go into town.

If you are looking for a place that is quiet and relaxing, this place is a good choice, if you like to be in the middle of things, you should look for something in the downtown.

We used Rivendell as a base for our trip around Namibia. We travelled around Namibia and returned back to Rivendell 4 times throughout our trip. The staff were incredibly helpful in making our trip more comfortable and organized. We were able to leave our luggage there while we were away, arrange pick ups from various airports, and arrange fantastic packed lunches for the road. The rooms were very well designed and comfortable. Amazing hot water showers (great cause we were there in the winter!) and very comfortable beds. Even the grounds are nice and relaxing to sit and read a book. I wouldn't say the location is close to town, but we were able to walk to various restaurants when it was still light outside. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Large rooms, secure parking and a friendly atmosphere. A very pretty and quiet garden with pleasant swimming pool. Easy access to the centre of Windhoek. An informal atomosphere so easy to exchange travel stories with other guests. The bedding and a few of the features give the guesthouse a slightly down-market feel which doesn't appear to match the price, but then again N$760 per night doesn't get you so much in Windhoek. Staff were helpful and friendly (although not quite to the extent implied in some of the other reviews). Would definitely recommend if you are not looking for opulence.

Having spent a hectic 3 weeks touring Botswana and Namibia with friends, I needed somewhere quiet and relaxing before catching the return flight to UK the next day.This was the ideal place as there was a lovely garden with comfortable loungers and a pool. The staff were most helpful, the breakfast was excellent, and there was a good restaurant just across the road.
