Reviews of The Waterfront, Maun

Very nice place

A little cold here on the terrasse for the breakfast

Beautiful room and well equipped

A bit far from restaurants,but we ordered in from a local restaurant and that was fabulous

Breakfast was good, staff in this inn was very heplfull, but the best man was our driver to Goremi National Park.....MR RELAX thanks once more for our trip,,,,,,leopard, chetaah, elephants, zebras......this man is a Master

Waterfron Inn- this river was 3-4 moths ago, during my stay only the grass

The river is the selling point.

The room looks better on picture when we find there are maintenance issue irl. The bathroom needs a bit of attention espeically with the hot water pump. The location is too far from everything, but maybe that is the point. There was little to no WiFi anywhere, despite the property advertising strong WiFi. Only found out about the pool area upon check-out. That’s incompetence on the part of the check-in staff, even though they are very friendly.

Room was lovely and spacious overlooking the waterfront and had a great shower! Taxis were organised for us and very reliable. Staff were amazing, we had an issue with our trip to the okovango delta and the staff helped us rebook with another company last minute! Would definitely stay again!

The WiFi wasn't great in the bedroom but otherwise no complaints!

Power in the parking area was a massive bonus. A comfy bed and very clean. Entrepreneurial spirit of the business.

It was a bit expensive compared to others we have stayed at of a similar nature.

Lovely hotel at the river bank, we stayed one night and the hotel suited us very well, friendly staff, great breakfast, very much recommended!

I only wish I had stayed longer. I loved everything about this hotel - a real gem.

The staff are very helpful. That is about it

Photos are misleading. Cold water on night one. Bedding not as clean as need to be and mattresses are worn out. Breakfast not even close to on par.

Great room Wonderful breakfast Good fire

Stayed TWICE- the staff is first and foremost the best part of the stay. Ray and the two ladies who rotate as the front desk managers so helpful and kind and smart! Their in house guide (when he’s not taking clients on safari) is the loveliest gent to sit and chat with about wildlife. The room is Huge and comfy- and all rooms have good views ( except I was there in winter and the riverbed was bone drydry, apparently if Id come a week later the dusty bowl facing the windows would be running w water) so if u really want a water view call them up first. I rated it good value cos most of the stays in Maun skins tourists and safari goers. Water view aside, I loved massive trees shading the property, the active birds at dawn and dusk. Breakfast is hearty and simple precooked stuff , cheese, cold cuts and boiled eggs, INCREDIBLE pear and nut bread Id kill to get recipe of, and good espresso on tap. No meals on site, they order delivery for you, extra for delivery fees but it’s very fair prices not gouging. It’s a bit out of way from town if you don’t drive (like me) so I’d probably stay elsewhere but still happy to return. This property is definitely a step above the average. One of two (of the 7 places I bunked in on safari Namibia and Botswana) with both aircon and heater which was great cos temps hit 5C the two separate nights I stayed.

All great! No dislikes

Away from the centre of town, large comfortable room. Be aware that if you have a preference for a shower, you will need to specifically request it.

Car Park area not fully secured, breakfast very basic and some of the staff seemed to see us as an annoyance rather than guests.

Loved the honesty bar - just take it from the fridge and write it down in the book - charged at the end of our stay. Such a great idea. The breakfast was great - a good variety of things - different breads, cakes, cheeses, cold meats, condiments. The rooms were spacious, well-appointed and very comfortable and clean. We arrived with an extra person, and they were so accommodating in getting her a room. Enjoyed having a taxi driver who was linked with the lodge - trustworthy and very reliable. Outdoor fire place was great!

An option of some gluten free bread would have been good - even if it was frozen and could be taken out piece by piece for breakfast.

Our overnight stay at Maun Waterfront on our way back from holiday was definitely a great choice. The rooms are modern and spacious, as is the bathroom. The rooms have king-size beds with high-quality mattresses that provided a good night’s rest. We were warmly welcomed by the staff, and the gentleman on duty was very friendly. There was a good variety of breakfast options, including different types of freshly baked bread. We would definitely choose this place again when visiting Botswana.

The only thing that was a bit of an issue was the WiFi. I specifically booked the place because it was advertised as having WiFi in the rooms, and I had online work that needed to be done. Once again, the staff member did everything in his power to try and get the WiFi working for me, but unfortunately, it couldn’t be fixed. I eventually accepted that I wouldn’t be able to get any work done.

Internet didn’t work at all

So organic and friendly

A bit isolated but then that was its charm
