Guest reviews Hoodia Desert Lodge

Amazing lodge/great people

This was a really wonderful experience for all of us. The lodge is extremely well taken care of, down to every detail: rooms are beautiful, very tastefully decorated, comfortable and clean. The main building is clearly the labor of love and the food in the restaurant was way above the average. But what made our experience there so special were the exceptionally hospitable hosts who simply spoilt us with their kindness. On top of it all, we experienced rain in the desert and woke up to a roaring river, which just a few hours before had been non-existent!! So, overall we couldn’t recommend it more.

Brilliant Place to Stay when visiting the Sossusvlei area

The place is great; the food is brilliant; the service is excellent. Nothing to complain about. Definitely a place to stay when in that region. Will definitely go back. The guides are very good and the sunset drinks and lunch during the desert safari were just superb.

Highly recommended

Greeted with cold towels, a cold drink and a warm welcome after a long and rather bumpy drive from Windhoek. Thankfully we were in a 4x4 unlike some of the other guests. The accomodation was delightful, the food delicious and the staff fabulous. This is a must if you are considering visiting the red sand-dunes of Sossusvlei. The Sossusvlei Excursion with Dune Picnic Lunch and visit to the Sesriem Canyon was a great experience albeit tiring. Our guide, Lucas, was very knowledgeable and kept us entertained for the duration (around 10 hours). The outside shower was a dream. I couldn't recommend highly enough.

Wonderful place not to missed !

At arrival, you got a warm welcome by the owner, who also encourage you to talk with the staff ; staff also presented themselves and gave a good feeling all the time. The atmosphere was as good as it just can be. Large common areas, nice pool and a restaurant with a lot of space. Comfortable rooms with one indoor and one outdoor shower. Real good food prepared with love. As a bonus; book 2 nights and you have a guided tour to Soussusvlei included. Can it be better value for money ? I doubt...

Luxury Accommodations in a Remote Desert Setting

This lodge is luxury from the time we entered the property through the gates. Our thatched chalet (1 of 11) offered incredible views of the surrounding desert landscape near the entrance of the iconic Sossusvlei sands-capes. Our chalet had really comfortable beds, an outdoor (and indoor) shower & shaded porch. In the main lodge the furnishing were in keeping with a African lodge. The main dining room had great windows to enjoy the surrounding landscape. The pool setting was really spectacular. We ate breakfast and dinners in the dining room. The offerings were at a minimum but sufficient for our needs. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The best part was that the owner, Thomas, was always around and he could not be more helpful and pleasant.
