"Cute little place a bit outside of Maun. I got the best service, help and advice from Taboka in the staff. She arranged things I could never have come up with on my own. Thank you! "
"Main Lodge is an oasis in Maun. It was a great place to stay before and after any safari to Botswana. The place is very nice, clean and convenient to the airport (free shuttle). The dining is onsite and DELICIOUS!"
"The property was affordable and convenient for our families needs. Was surprised that there was no shower but managed ok with a bath. It was difficult at first to find the property off the main road as there was no signage. Other than that it was good. "
"Wonderful stay. I recommend each guest must be provided with the gate remote as there is a delay in opening the gate or there should be a gateman stationed at the gate"
"The property was clean, but substandard in most areas. The welcome on arrival was pretty much non existent and we were told our confirmed Expedia booking didnt exist.
The room was very small and the shower more so. There was 1 towel for 2 of us, though another was delivered on request.
The aircon, which was essential leaked water when switched on. We put down a towel to catch the drips, but by morning the curtains (which incidently couldn't be opened) were drenched as was the towel we placed...
"The sink had no plumbing traps, so it smelled like a sewer if you hadn't used the sink for a while.
The lock to the door was really hard to both lock and unlock. I stayed in two different rooms, one didn't have the possibility to lock the bathroom.
No restaurant within walking distance and no possibility to make your own food except for a water boiler. Really low level of sounds proofing.
The staff was really friendly and helpful though 😊"
"WILL NOT HONOR YOUR RESERVATION. A member of my party arrived on the check in date with the confirmation from Hotels.com. The concierge informed them there was no record of the reservation and that the KESMO LODGE DOES NOT WORK WITH HOTELS.COM.
Hotels.com worked with me to resolve the issue, but the Kesmo Lodge was completely absent and not part of the solution. "
"Terrible hotel. They didn’t have our booking, were over booked and couldn’t accommodate us. They are now refusing to refund our money. Beware of this hotel!"
"DO NOT BOOK THIS HOTEL THROUGH EXPEDIA!!!! The hotel exists but states they do not have a contract with Expedia. We showed up to our pre-paid booking confirmed by Expedia and the hotel told us that our booking didn’t exist due to not having an agreement with Expedia. The hotel was fully booked which left us out a lot of money, which the hotel also mentioned was not consistent with their rate which was multiple times lower than the noted rate through Expedia. Expedia did not refund us because...
"The hotel is situated on dirt roads and is close to nothing. The rooms had dead bugs and it seemed unkept. Our reservation included free airport pickup and free breakfast. However, we had to pay for transfer and no free breakfast. According to the hostess, we paid a special rate and it did not include those items. Also, there is no reception after 3 pm (hard to find the hostess at any time), so if something goes wrong, there is no where to go. Also, the power went out in the middle of the...
"Arrived early and were cheerily checked in at once. Lovely room with kitchenette. We thought we were getting a king bed plus sofa bed, but the manageress got the maid to make up 2 singles so we both slept well. Well stocked kitchen: only thing that stopped a 10/10 score was lack of oven (we did not notice this before shopping and ended up googling how to cook pizza without one on our second night there!). Fabulous deep bath. Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. Not in Maun centre (across the...
