“We had an absolutely awesome stay, and will definitely be staying there again!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 July 2011

We had such a wonderful stay at Burning Shore! The staff is professional and friendly, the establishment is clean & tidy, the security was great, and we felt really at home there! The breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of treats to choose from! If you're looking for warm hospitality, a home away from home, and a gem in the desert, THIS IS IT!!!!!!

“Excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2011

We visited The Burning Shore for holidays a week ago and we were surprised after reading all the bad reviews. We enjoyed our stay and were very happy with all the services and we dont have any complaints. Please dont see it as the Brangelina five star hotel, just see it as a normal Namibian hotel for normal people who can afford to stay there.

“Its a good thing we had a discounted rate”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 January 2011

Stayed here for 1 night in December 2010. Luckily we got a discounted rate at almost 50%, and at that rate, the stay was average. It would be severly overpriced for what you get if you pay full whack. Design of room let down by open plan toilet (why anyone finds this romantic is beyond me). Design/decor fine, but again, let down by electrical cords out in the open - not neatly tucked away. Silly things bugged me, like to get out the door onto the patio, the heavy curtains hang in the way, and you cannot open them fully - a tie-back would sort this out. Breakfast was mediocre. Certainly nothing special and no extra lengths were gone to for variety. Cooked breakfast oily. Dinner was average and again, nothing special. At least use fabric napkins - who ever thought that paper napkins would suffice? I wouldn't run back there in a hurry, but certainly wasn't offensive or bad. Just nothing special. Front check-in desk and friendliness was the best part.
