We stayed in one of the luxury rooms, but had to asked at reception where the luxury was. We simply had a view at the back of the room in front of us. We arrived after dark and could impossibly find our room, had to go back to reception to get someone to help us find the place. The road... More

My boyfriend & I spent two nights at Opuwo Country Hotel - I could've stayed much longer. Opuwo itself is busy, loud and dirty, so it's a pleasure to retreat to the watered lawn and clean air of the Hotel. Our room was spacious & comfortable. The food was absolutely delicious - dinner was a set menu (with two alternatives)... More

To be honest, this hotel is nothing really spectacular, but it's really the only option when you want to visit the Himba in the north. The pool outside does have a spectacular view though and it's lovely to sit there and enjoy the view of the valley below and let the sun set. The service is cordial. A good bar.... More

I must say that the friendliness of the receptionist was really a welcome sight and all staff were very friendly. The prices however, does not auger well with being a local. The view from the deck is stunning, but the prices....no

We specifically booked this place as they advertized Himba Village tours. We were not expecting much in the way of accommodations and we were pleasantly surprised. Getting to the hotel is a bit of a challenge...first to find the turn off...a bit out of town...and then driving up one of the most rugged, unpaved roads I have ever driven. But... More

Very nice hotel, excellent dinner, breakfast lacked at little if compaired with the dinner. Beautiful large pool overlooking the Kaokoveld. Ideal stay over if you would like to explore the area and visit a Himba Village.

We spent one night at Opuwo Country Lodge on our way to Epupa Falls. We had emailed them requesting a camp spot but apparently they didn't receive it, so we ended up staying in a room (they did give us a bit of a discount to apologize for the mixup). The rooms were very basic and we didn't feel that... More

My girlfriend and I visited in February and loved it. The staff were all fantastic, the food was really top class (makes me hungry thinking about it) and the location is beautiful and peaceful. The hotel provided a great himba experience which we will never forget. We even went back to the village a second time with some off duty... More

Wonderful location with stunning views from the terrace, pool and bar area, as well as from the balconies of many of the rooms. Helpful staff but so-so food. Lovely, if slightly small, infinity pool. We took the hotel's trip to a Himba village - a fascinating encounter that was a highlight of our time in Namibia and an undoubted privilege... More

We decided to go up for drinks and a meal last weekend. How disappointing that in the midst of this beautiful hotel with perfect views the lunch we were served was inedible! We were also offended by the over familiar, cheeky, waitress who obviously had no training in customer service. Unfortunately the Manager wasn't around for us to speak to.... More
