Inns in Botswana

"This is an interesting location...a former grade school, the owners are converting the original structure into a hotel. It is a work in process, and a unique property. The large room has simple yet comfortable beds. At night, total darkness and silence. The thoughtful and hearty breakfast, ( buns/bread/egg, yogurt, assorted mea spreads, orange juice, coffee...) The vintage American rock on the radio. The host is nice and knowledgeable. The antique Swedish prints, the former teachers, the TV area. Get dinner at early/stop at store early...if not you will have dinner at the Circle K :)"

I liked the steep drive down into the valley and equally steep drive back up to the school. But glad it wasn't snowing. I also did not know that it was a former school that was being renovated into a hotel. As such, it was not what I expected. However, after a good night's sleep and a really good breakfast. Accompanied by vintage rock songs on the radio which I had not heard for many years. Conversation with the owner. Took many pictures of the vintage art and photos...I think this was a good Norwegian experience.

"The owner was exceptionally nice and helpful. The location was perfect, so close to everything."

The bedroom window only had a sheer curtain and faced east so we woke up very early each morning because of the sun.

"A nice hotel to stay overnight when you are visiting Valaste waterfalls. Location is very close to the waterfalls. Room was neat and towels were provided. Toilet and shower were shared and was also neat and clean. There is also kitchen to cook food, make coffee and microwave your food and also nice living room. Make sure to buy groceries from Jõhvi before coming here as there are no supermarkets nearby. Also there is nice cafe nearby where you can have coffee and food. There is also parking space in front of hotel. Overall a nice stay and can recommend. Can recommend this place if you plan to stay here."

Internet was not available because they forgot to turn it ON. Since this is off season I can understand it. Also it would have been nice to have some coffee powder/beans available to make coffee.

"Staff were excellent, especially the lady who served us breakfast 👍"

"A true rustic hideway. Loved the honesty bar. Simple but delicious breakfast. Pool was a bonus. Great location, near the restaurants and bars but far enough away to eacape the noise from the nightclubs. Dont expect a branded, glitzy hotel. Its simple and rustic with a touch of faded colonial grandeur."

"Our stay at Al Jalain Inn was the absolute highlight of our Nizwa visit. The hotel masterfully blends authentic historical charm with contemporary comfort, making us feel as though we were living within the old town itself. Every corner reflects exceptional design and heritage, yet we enjoyed modern facilities throughout. This unique atmosphere deeply enriched our experience of Nizwa, creating memories that last far beyond our journey. Highly recommended for an unforgettable stay."

"Very nice place, the host was super-attentive and friendly, provides help and information for everything you need. You know some places take insta-care of their guests just by one look - this is one of those. Clean and comfy, complementary water/coffee, AC, Netflix.. everything you need. The best pizza in Skopje is in fact right next to the apartment in the bar called 'Groovelyn', which is also a must visit."

The location is unbeatable—right in the center of town, within walking distance to great restaurants, shops, and local attractions. It made exploring the city so easy and enjoyable. The room was spotless, cozy, and quiet, with everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The attention to cleanliness and comfort really stood out. What truly made my visit special was the staff.

A special mention goes to Mr. Ibrahim—his warm hospitality and excellent hosting made me feel right at home. Overall, Downtown Inn is a wonderful place to stay—clean, convenient, I would happily return and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area"

"Great value for money. If you intend to stay at the university, this hotel has everything one needs and is in close walking distance. Also, the rooms are tidy, and the staff is very friendly."

The reception was almost never occupied, and the person on the indicated phone number did not speak English. So checking in and paying was a bit tricky. Internet is a bit slow for working, but OK. Also, mind that you may need to bring your own shampoo, soap, and hair dryer.

"Very beautiful establishment! The room was very cozy and comfortable. We had a nice meal for lunch and the breakfast was very good. Everyone was super nice and friendly."

No mini refrigerator in the room.

"Staff gave excellent views to see the Northern Lights!"

Rooms are a bit dated

"Justin was a very helpful and attentive host. He arranged for me to go see a voodoo ceremony, which was really cool. He also helped arrange trusted motorcycle taxis, which helped me a lot. He was always making sure I was happy and had all I needed. Also, the food was delicious and I slept really well."

"Great place, friendly host, very clean and well equipped room. The breakfast was delicious with a lot of local products. I enjoyed staying in this place. Highly recommend! It’s easier to get to the property by car. Not sure about public transportation."

Everything was good.
