Nice stop.

This was an unplanned stop due to illness that sent into Maun from Moremi earlier than expected. It was a clean and pleasant surprise...and one the few places in the area with working wifi.

Booked somewhere else without our knowledge!?!

We arrived at the Rivernest Boutique Cottages, and were told that they had been overbooked (though we had booked online several months prior) and that we were to be moved. We were sent to a different hotel a few minutes drive away, and given a room. The hotel we were re-booked at was cheaper than Rivernest, and we did not receive a credit or a refund of any kind. We had heard good things about this place, but unfortunately got to experience none of them. Good luck!

Disappointed

The comments and photos on the website portrayed a significantly better facility than what I found. The 'bones' of the place are pretty good (units look okay from outside, they circle around a pond, there are plants), but it needs a fair amount of upkeep: care and attention required. Front door wouldn't lock securely, furniture tired, would not be hard to get over perimeter of compound, and as it was quite a ways out of Maun (on a main highway--not sure what 'river' we were supposed to be beside...) with no other guests, it felt somewhat insecure...

Good Experience.

very spacious suites. fairly comfortable beds. minimal bugs, and clean. A good place to stay if you are visiting Maun & the Okavango Delta. It was nice to be able to spread out. Breakfast was fair. But there are decent places to eat around here.

High Service Hotel

Hotel was great. Manager worked hard to make sure everything was good for us. It was a nice treat to have a kitchen in the room. The hotel also washed my car as a special surprise for the morning. One of the best hotels in my travels across Africa (7 countries). Breakfast was great.

Good Self Catering Option

Used this as a one night stopover. The room had a full size fridge and all kitchen appliances, however the dishes and pans were not quite enough. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Clean and comfortable

The staff were friendly and helpful. Small complex with security guard at night. Basic accommodation was clean and comfortable, air conditioner thankfully. Meals were good but no choice given. Airport pick up provided - 15-20 minutes drive.
