Kein Top Pick
Pros:

Sehr große Anlage, kleiner Pool

Cons:

Leider nachts bis 5:00 Uhr Musik von .einer benachbarten Anlage. Personal professionell, aber nicht besonders herzlich. Etwas abgewohnt und die ganze Anlage wirkt so als hätte sie schon bessere Tage gesehen

A decent enough stay but didn’t quite live up to my high expectations.
Pros:

Lovely riverside oasis in the heart of Francistown. The old parts of the hotel have a lovely ambience and aesthetic especially with the beautiful thatched roof. Amazing grounds with lots of beautiful trees (we even saw a massive owl).

Cons:

The newly built parts of the hotel felt slightly soulless and definitely not in keeping with the rest of the property. Being across two sites made it slightly unclear as to where we should be checking in etc…

Lovely stay
Pros:

Lovely place , very pretty garden. Staff are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The bathroom had a underfloor leak so the bathroom was wet. I did let reception know, they offered another room. I declined as it was late already.
