The Grand Aria Hotel and Conference Centre

"The only reason this review gets 3 stars is thanks to the wonderful staff. This hotel is a noise box. Not only does it face a plethora of motors from the shopping center adjacent to it but the hotel itself is stagerringly noisy. Outside my window I counted at least 18 airconditioner motors spewing noise. On my floor, the motor noise from the end of the passage was also loud. I could not open the window of my room as it would be an assault to my senses. I had to resort to switching on my aircon. The fan from my bathroom was so loud and permanently on. And the final straw was the mega extractor on the roof of the kitchen. The grounds are beautiful but cannot be enjoyed as it feels as if you're in the middle of a runway. The staff and particularly the manager tried his best to get me a room that was quiet but alas! that is not possible in that hotel. I could not wait to leave."

Peermont Walmont at the Grand Palm, Gaborone

"We ging daar op 30 december 2023 na 19 jaar ik verwachtte te vinden wat’s was toen, maar helaas is deze mooie woning zo onbeheerlijk nu en vernietigd .................., er waren geen mensen zoals gast en de zwembad zijbar/restaurant waiters waren plaatsing voor 1 uur tuin meubels alleen kousen en schreeuwen en lachen als ze in hun eigen huis zijn, na het plaatsen van de kousen op de stoelen en sofa's om 12 uur ze net zitten op een van de bank (waar de gasten moeten zitten ) En hij begon te praten en lachte zo luid, dat was ondraaglijk. Je voelt je oncontroleerbaar om in de tuin te gaan zitten. Ik moest een meid zoeken, toen ze haar glas en drank hield en rond de bar ging en probeerde te ontsnappen (waarschijnlijk had ik haar gestoord ...) dus ik moest eindelijk met haar praten en vragen of ik pizza kon bestellen - haar antwoord was dat de kok zal de pizza oven schoonmaken en ik kan alleen pizza bestellen om 6:00 ........................ Ik heb geen woorden hoe blij deze werknemers zijn om te werken zoals ze werken! 🤣 Met niemand die ze bewakt en gewoon gossip, lachen en krijgen salarissen zonder eigenlijk te doen Elk werk dat ze aannemen voor .....Wauw ...... wie dit hotel nu beheert, moet laten gaan als de belanghebbenden willen winst en alle gasten over het algemeen.............................................................................. De tuinen zijn gesloten van achteren, je kunt niet rondlopen zoals we het gebruiken, er zijn veel rubber plastic zakken en flessen in de hoteltuin - ooit iets dergelijks gezien waar dan ook in het hotel !! Ik zou niet terugkomen om zeker! Gaborone het gaat ook naar beneden ...... zeer triest! Niets is zoals gewoonlijk 19 jaar geleden......... en geen New Year’s party was georganiseerd in het hotel zoals 19 jaar geleden.........waa ...... niets! Sad vey triest........."

African Home Hotel

"The hotel is perfectly located in Gaborone, close to all the major places and sites worth seeing in the Capital. A walking distance to the Three Dikgosi Monument and Fields Mall. I liked this convenience that the hotel offered. The hotel also has plenty of rooms, over 14 and has a Spa, conference venues and a restaurant. There is also a pool inside and the main entrance is guarded with security personnel. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by a gentleman named Sebalo, who also adjusted my booking to a room that he recommended, has better Wifi connectivity, to which I agreed. I appreciated this as the Wifi in the Kgosi room was good during my stay. I also liked that I had covered parking, which I didn't need to pre-book, located close to the room. I also had a decent breakfast for all the days here, prepared promptly and with care by a lady called Violet. I welcomed this value for money aspect to my stay. She was very friendly, warm and tried by all means to vary the breakfast options and presentation on all three days which I appreciated. The room was spacious, had adequate lighting, Aircon, LCD tv, coffee station and kettle and enough mirrors all round. There were also enough bins in the room, an extra blanket and the bedding was clean. There was a desk and chair, which ensured that I could spend some time catching up on my reading in the room. There was no safe and I had to arrange my own twin plug, which was not an issue. The toilet was separate from the shower which I liked and there was shampoo available. Clean towels were on offer, regularly.replaced and room service was offered. The hotel was peaceful and I did not experience any major distractions. I also liked that I paid once I got to the hotel and that no deposit was withheld. Where I think the hotel could have scored more for me was in the following - there was no info-welcome sheet in the room that orientated me to the rules of the hotel, wifi password, breakfast times, lunch or dinner, important emergency numbers and nearby sites worth seeing for instance which is common in most hotels. I had to ask many of these and Sebalo was of assistance. I feel that the hymn sheet would have made it much easier. I found a booklet about sites to see in Gaborone close to the reception area, which I only saw and made use of during breakfast. Those booklets can be placed in the rooms as a suggestion. The bed was not comfortable at all for me and there were some small insects here and there in the room which was not pleasant to see. This is where the hotel dropped points from me. I believe that if the hotel works on these few items, it could do better. However, the service I received from Sebalo and Violet, together with the convenience of the location, shaded parking, breakfast and good wifi in the room, made the stay decent overall. "

Regent Select Hotel

"Arrived on a Thursday & the most annoying thing was how my surname was spelled incorrectly! Even after trying to correct them, they kept on calling me with a wrong name. Secondly, they gave me a room which door couldn't open unless a special key is used, why was it not checked 1st? As if that's not enough while out, i was moved to a different room with a smelly bathroom!"

Phakalane Golf Estate Hotel & Convention Centre

"Truly awful experience at this establishment who rate themselves as a 4 star hotel but are more in line with 1 star service. A few of staff were sweet and at least trying, but most were completely nonchalant & literally just doing the bear minimum of what's required. It is clear that very little, if any, training has taken place regarding service. The rooms were ok, but do try to book a room on the golf course-facing side, should you choose to stay here. Otherwise, you'll be facing their parking lot. Also be aware that it's a good 30 minutes (more in traffic) from Gaborone City itself and therefore not very central."

Oasis Motel

"The place is convenient, smart and there is value for money, Will not hesitate to recommend it to others,"
