Reviews of Discovery Bed and Breakfast

Tranquil little gem just outside Maun. The owners were incredibly friendly and helpful. Very responsive and easy to talk to. Easily the best shower in all of Botswana and very comfortable beds too. I slept extremely well. I also love that they have a little shop with their staff’s handicraft work for sale, so much more special when you meet the people who made the items you buy in person.

Not a single negative word to say about this place

Ambience and the garden with birds singing

A wee bit chilly in bed if you feel the cold

It was a traditional themed bed and breakfast with rondavel rooms which were comfortable and authentic set amongst trees and attractive plantings The outdoor shower was fun. We felt instantly at home and the group dinners in the evening were friendly and allowed us to get orientated and chat to our fellow guests. Bird feeders dotted around introduced us to the beautiful birds and tree squirrels.

I cannot think of anything.

Great location, best shower we had in our whole Botswana stay. Lovely and quiet, peaceful atmosphere. Friendly staff.

This was the last night of our trip and I completely forgot that I had booked an evening meal so we made alternate arrangements. I wasn't reminded we had booked when we got there and the next morning the owner wanted to raise 'the elephant in the room'noting that they were relying on us and commenting on her staff not being paid..... She did this in front of my friends and family rather than taking me to one side and having a quiet conversation. Of course we paid for the meal but I would have appreciated this being dealt with more privately.

Great rooms, gardens, helpful owners

The hot breakfast was a bit substandard for accommodation price

Calm & tranquil. Lovely staff

Very nice garden, easy check-in, nice breakfast, room looked beautiful, liked the little shop.

We had a bit of a break from camping and the heat but it can get hot in the hut. The mosquitonet over the bed is made of a cotton fabric so the fan is actually useless. We made a little fort with the fan but maybe its better to get nets with breathable holes in it :-)

We spent three nights at Discovery B&B, a good place to visit the Moremi National Reserve and the surroundings. It is a real oasis in this dusty area, full of plants and birds and provides a very quiet environment. The personnel is super-friendly and helpful to organize trips etc. The dinner - home-made by the friendly chefs - is tasty and integrates local as well as international components e.g. greek salad, red beets etc. together wither with Seswaa dishes or Boboti. All guests sit together around a big table what creates a familiar atmosphere. Breakfast is great. If you want to go to town (Marcs Eatery must be mentioned) they'll help you with the reservations. All in all: Highly recommended!

The beds are far too soft! And the price is understandable given market conditions in Maun (close to the Okavango Delta) but in comparison to other guest houses in Botswana (with AirCon, fridges in the rooms, sanitary conditions) it is a little bit overprized. This does not reduce the value of Discovery B&B, but as a honest reviewer this has to be said.

Accommodation was clean, comfortable and very attractive. Set in a lovely garden and decorated in a charming Botswana theme. Dinner was excellent, featuring traditional dishes, and breakfast was delicious. Our hosts and their team were friendly, informative and efficient.

Very nice place to stay, food was good.

Just a lovely lodge

All was good

Gorgeous decor and yards. This place is a little slice of paradise. Absolutely loved it.

Having to leave!

An extremely well run property, with everything a traveller needs. The gardens and pool are lovely and restful. A great stay and we wish we could have stayed longer.

Nothing.

Our stay was so nice, everyone was friendly and welcoming. Discovery B&B was as nice as the advertising but with so many birds in the garden to see. It was clean, comfortable and each room had privacy from one another. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you 😊

Beautifully done up place, in a very nice natural setting. Friendly & helpful host & staff. Enjoyed my short stay there

Everything: the authentics and comfortable thatched roof chalets, the beautiful garden, the quality of the breakfast and the hospitality of owners and staff. I highly recommand and wouldn't hesitate to come back.

Nothing, all was great.

Marij and René have made a little paradise here near Maun! Great staff and a beautiful and comfortable room. Away from Maun, but staying in the city centre is not a plus anyway. Food at the restaurant and at breakfast is good. We would certainly choose Discovery again!

It's the African feel, but you could argue that the roof of the rondeels are too open, so mosquitoes can come in easily. But there are mosquito nets around the beds.
