Vondelhof Guesthouse

I stayed at the Guesthouse with 5 friends at the end of a roadtrip in Namibia. We were welcomed very warmly, and they allowed us to use the kitchen to cook our own food at the end of our travel, also helping us with the barbecue set up. The place is cosy and very pleasant. Strongly recommend.

We have often stayed here as the first or last accommodation on our trips to Namibia and feel completely at home. Friendly staff, clean rooms, cool pool, good location, and fair prices. Thank you very much and see you next time!

Nice place not too far from the centre. Had a clean and spacious room with roof terrace. Nice pool area. Staff was helpful with taxi booking.

A Perfect Windhoek Welcome! After 16 days of camping across Namibia, Vondelhof Guesthouse was a delightful place to wrap up our journey. The room was comfortable, the bathroom was spotless with strong water pressure and plenty of hot water—pure bliss after life on the road! A special thanks to the receptionist, who went above and beyond. When our travel agent made a booking error, she kindly took the time to call and sort everything out for us. Her helpfulness made all the difference. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful, welcoming stay in Windhoek!

Nice guesthouse to relax at after a long flight. Thé rooms are a little older but good Quality beds and they are Well taken Care of. Verry friendly staff who are verry welcomeing Decent breakfast and a Nice pool. Thé only downside we had was when we asked to go eat somewhere no service was provided or possible tot arrange for going there in thé evening so we had to KFC. Because Windhoek is terrible to walk through as a white tourist. Thé rest of Namibia is not like that! Thé rest is beautifull and friendly. But all in all a Nice good guesthouse

An oasis of calm|The Vondelhof Guest House is a well appointed but informal guesthouse quite close to the centre of town (10 minute walk). Very comfortable rooms with pretty much everything you could possibly want, fridge, kettle, tea coffee. Aircon and fans.|I find the bed comfortable. Good bathroom and shower very friendly staff and reasonable price.

We stayed here on our first and last night in Windhoek as it was close to Savannah car hire. Pleased with the accommodation and breakfast. Secure parking. Helpful staff - we wanted to eat in so a takeaway was ordered but the manager also made restaurant bookings and arranged taxis.

I spent a month at the Cheetah Conservation Fund, and needed to overnight in Windhoek one night before leaving Namibia. There were several options, but I chose the Vondelhof Guesthouse, and I am glad I did! Staff was very friendly and helpful (more later), the location was perfect for me (I needed to visit the Namibian Craft Marketplace for a shawl and jewelry to complete an outfit I'd bought in Otjiwarango), and coincidentally, it was also near the restaurant I'd identified prior to visiting Namibia as a potential for this vegetarian.||I arrived about 3pm to check in, and was shown to room 4. This is a double bed, with an extra guest bed, in the back corner of the property. There is no aircon, but I was able to use the fan and open up some windows for fresh air. The decor and space was absolutely perfect after a month in the bush! ||I asked the staff at the front desk how to get to the Namibian Craft Marketplace. Turns out it was a short walk (less than 15 minutes), so rather than taking a taxi I decided to get some steps in. They did warn me to not bring a backpack or large purse, and to be aware of my surroundings as I walked (especially if I was on the main roads). They did NOT warn me about the crazy drivers, who seem to turn on a red light! Fortunately for me, I was already used to traffic on the opposite side, so I was looking in the correct direction.||At the Namibian Craft Centre, I found what I was looking for (a shawl to cover my shoulders) at one of the little booths. I also managed to grab some seasonings. Then I headed over to the Craft Bistro (see my review) for a late lunch.||Upon my return to the Vondelhof Guesthouse, I realized I'd made a mistake with what time I needed to leave the next morning (I already had a driver lined up to take me to Hosea Kutako International Airport, about 30+ minutes away. I would need to eat at about 6am for a 6:45am pickup. Licius, at the front desk, said he would make be a box lunch as that was quite early (he asked what kind of sandwich I'd want, the fruit, and the juice). Less than an hour later, there was a knock on my door, and he delivered a bag stuffed with all the things I had said plus more!! A cheese (with lettuce and tomato) sandwich, a small cup of yogurt, a banana, an apple, apple juice, a bottle of water, and several small packages of snacks (nuts/raisins, fruit chews, etc). This was almost enough for breakfast AND lunch, and it was ALL delicious!! (Thank you, Licius, for taking the time to make such a perfect box brekkie!)||It had been a bit drizzly on my walk back from the Craft Centre, but by nightfall the sky really opened up. Pouring rain, and scads of thunder and lightning. I took some video of the lightning (it really lit up the sky), then rearranged my luggage, and crawled into bed about 10pm. After a month of sleeping in the bush, the linens felt fabulous on my skin. The toiletries (Kalahari Roiboos soap) in the shower the next day were lovely. ||I almost wish I could stay another day, but... I had a flight out at 9:30am. I highly recommend the Vondelhof Guesthouse! Service was great, there's a cute little lounge, pool, and bar area. I originally had thought to take advantage of their spa services, but I really didn't have time (I hadn't planned to shop in Windhoek, and that took priority).
