It is an excellent (and reasonably priced) property to stay at in Kasanee. Note that all hotels in Kasanee town use the same provider to drive or boat you into Chobe National Park. No matter where you stay, you'll see the same animals.

Hotel has potential!
This hotel has potential to be fantastic but it lacks five star qualities. Reception staff were great - helpful and informative. Ordering food seems to be a problem- always takes long. Food menu could be better - the daily buffet lacked variety and not great to see flies on some of the dishes - staff just don’t seem to be on top of things. Hospitality is good - special shout out to Banks. The spa lacks imagination - presentation and spa ambience is lacking, but the massage was very good. The gym has outdated equipment and rusting dumbbells - not worth visiting. We Won’t be returning soon.

Terrible service, felt like unwelcome guests
We didn't feel super welcomed here. There were lots of inconveniences due to terrible service that could have been avoided. For example, I confirmed pick up at the airport a few days before but when we got there on time, no one was there to get us. We had to ask the airport to call them. I asked about a tour to Zambia for Victoria Falls. The hotel said that wasn't possible. I asked them to double check and I never got a response. They did end up setting it up for us but our drive around Zambia was super sketchy, running his own errands the whole time. The food was also extremely expensive, especially considering the bad quality. They also tried to charge us double for a Chobe safari so we booked through another hotel. When we left, I asked ok so are we all good, do we need my credit card again? She said no and we left. Ten minutes later, our driver got a call and we turned around-turns out we did need to swipe our card again. Not sure why she hadn't done that while I was there and even asked her...also, expect a hour for anything. A chicken sandwich via room service will take a hour. A refill for an iced tea at lunch will take 15 minutes. Overall, service was awful for the price they charge. Worst service we've had in awhile...
