    Had such wonderful stay of 2 nights. The location was great and incredible, next to whole Namibia, and Driftwood Guesthouse directly located at the beach, in a nice cosy area. Also, we were 2 km from our favourite spot Altes Amtsgericht.

    No.

There are plenty of delicious meal options available at the guesthouse. - the location is great, right next to the center of town where all the action is happening. - the concierge can arrange taxis for guests, making it convenient to get around. - the guesthouse is situated in a lovely residential neighborhood in Swakopmund.

    We absolutely loved the attention to detail at Driftwood. the decor was stunning, and the personal touches like flowers on the bed and a hot water bottle each night made us feel so pampered. the owner and her team were friendly and went out of their way to make us comfortable. the breakfast options were outstanding, with delicious choices like omelettes and French toast with mozzarella and caramel. the staff really went the extra mile to make our stay enjoyable.

    We felt incredibly comfortable at Driftwood, and nothing was too much trouble.

    The rooms are beautifully decorated with attention to detail. The breakfast menu offers plenty of choices and is freshly made. The staff at the reception are helpful with dinner reservations, tours, and hotels. The welcome gift of wine is a nice touch.

    Felt very welcome, no complaints at all.

    The guesthouse was comfortable and clean with well-designed rooms and stylish bathrooms. the staff members were helpful and friendly, and the breakfast was delicious. Some rooms had a great view of the beach, and there were bikes available for rent on-site. the property was located in a quiet, residential area, but taxis were easily accessible for a short ride to the town center.

    One downside of the guesthouse was its location, situated at a distance from the lively town center with limited dinner options within walking distance.
