We verbleven hier drie nachten. Het was er niet druk. Er liep heel veel staff rond, zonder weinig resultaat. De mevrouw aan de receptie had meer aandacht voor de telefoon dan voor ons, toen we op dag twee schone handdoeken kwamen halen (de andere waren door de schoonmaak meegenomen). Uiteindelijk, na 3x vragen, kwamen de handdoeken (ook nodig bij het zwembad!) na twee uur. De huisjes zijn weliswaar oud, maar alles functioneerde bij ons (bij het andere stel niet: de koudwater kraan deed het niet, dus alleen heet douchen...). Klamboe rond het bed, prima airco. De tuin is door de droogte verwoest, en er was ook geen rivier meer te zien.... Dus geen bootexcursies. Bij een dagtrip naar Moreni moet je nu rekenen op 3,5 uur heen en idem terug over bar slechte wegen (ter vegelijking: 10 jaar geleden was er nog wat gravel en duurde het 1,5 uur). Moreni zelf is grotendeels verwoest door olifanten. Maun als uitgangspunt of tussenstop is geen goede keuze meer. Het restaurant had een ruime kaart, maar een aantal gerechten was niet verkrijgbaar (net als 10 jaar geleden...). Vanwege het kleine aantal toeristen en de weinig enthousiaste staff (volop aanwezig, rondhangend) hebben we 2x in verschillende gezellige restaurants in Maun gegeten. Het ontbijt was goed genoeg.

Il est toujours agréable de prendre une douche après une journée de poussière ! Première déception ! Pas d’eau chaude, je me couche résigné et frigorifié (après une douche froide). Bagarre toute la nuit avec des moustiques (la moustiquaire était trouée, dommage !) pour finir : le petit déjeuné … famélique ! Un buffet ou tout manque ! Idéal pour un régime sévère, mais si vous avez un peu faim … repassez. Pour couronner le tout alors que nous voulons quitter l’hôtel et retrouver d’autres établissements de la ville plus accueillant, la manageuse refuse de nous rembourser les nuits payées d’avances… je travail dans le tourisme dans le Delta, j’ai une petite idée de ce que accueillir des clients veut dire. Ici on se moque de vous ! Ça a chacun de choisir.

Lodge agréable, nous avons logé au chalet n°105. Comme souvent la décoration y était qualque peu désuète mais la chambre était propre et le lit confortable. Les nuits ont été calme, nous avons bien dormi. La personne à la réception était accueillante et à l'écoute. Le personnel au restaurant était sympathique bien que le service ait été un peu long. Le game drive que nous avons réservé à l'hôtel a dépassé nos espérance !

Die Campsite wird leider etwas stiefmütterlich behandelt. Der Bar- und Restaurantbereich ist in Ordnung, das Essen ist auch okay. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich.

Le campsite était moyen et les sanitaires catastrophiques très sales et pas entretenus. Le restaurant était par contre très bons avec beaucoup de choix. Le personnel serviable qui a su nous trouver un drive pour le lendemain. La rivière apaisante quand il n y a personne sur l' autre rive avec la musique.

Une nuit passée dans cet établissement à environ une dizaine de kilomètres de Maun. Accueil standard, bungalow en bord de la petite rivière. Eau chaude aux abonnés absents. A savoir : nous sommes arrivés un dimanche et avons eu la drôle de surprise de voir, face à notre bungalow, sur la rive opposée de la rivière, une multitude de locaux venus " à la plage "avec leurs voitures, quads, et la musique à fond...pour ce qui est de la tranquillité des lieux, il faudra repasser! Tout ce petit monde a quitté les lieux à la nuit tombante. Diner sur place : service long, très long, très très long : une heure d'attente entre la commande et l'arrivée du plat sur table. Cet établissement est une bonne halte avant d'entamer un safari.

We both stayed at Island safari lodge, and organised our safari and mokoro excursions with them. The experience was fantastic! Starting with a seemless airport transfer and help with acquiring a local sim-card, to our clean and comfortable room, our time with the lodge was fantastic. The staff are welcoming and helpful, and food provides plenty of choice. As a vegetarian I found that there was enough on offer at the restaurant and the veggie lasagna was top-notch. We had pre-organised an excursion via email, including overnight mokoro, mobile safari and a night on the salt-pan (with Gweta lodge). The guides (William and Dillan, and Jakey for the mokoro) were excellent and so knowledgable. We had the most amazing experience watching a pride of lions too! Food was tasty and filling (by chef Neo) and we were well looked after throughout. Absolutely recommend Island lodge to anyone wanting a fair-priced trip.

Only problem is it’s a one night business trip every 3 months. Would be great to stay longer to experience the true value of Island Safari Lodge

Safari Island Lodge did not live up to expectations at all. The photos online are misleading, and the reality falls far short. The breakfast was the weakest we’ve had anywhere – extremely limited: just a small bowl of fruit, some yogurt, bread with jam. Eggs are available, but it takes about half an hour to get them. Overall, a very poor breakfast experience. The lodge itself is outdated and certainly not worth the premium price being charged. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the mokoro guides did their best and were very kind – though don’t expect to see the wildlife they promise during the trip. William was very kind upon arrival, but on the return trip his attitude changed – he drove recklessly and was visibly irritated by even simple questions. All in all, not worth the money and a disappointing stay.

來自住宿之回應: Dear Sammy, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that your stay with us did not meet your expectations, and we appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. We’re disappointed to learn that the breakfast offering and overall lodge experience fell short for you. While many guests enjoy the simple, fresh options we provide to start the day, your comments have been shared with our team and we will be reviewing how we can improve both variety and efficiency of service. We’re glad to hear you found our team friendly and that the mokoro guides left a positive impression, even if wildlife sightings were limited during your stay. With regard to William, we were especially surprised to read your remarks. He has been a valued part of our team for many years and consistently receives outstanding feedback for his warm hospitality and professionalism. Nonetheless, we take all feedback seriously and will follow up to better understand what may have happened in this instance. We’re sorry your time with us didn’t reflect the experience we aim to deliver, and we thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Lovely and tranquil. Private and serene. It's a lovely getaway for the family. Beautiful views. The bird life is incredible and there are animals around the Island. Staff are very helpful and accommodating. The food was absolutely delicious. We highly recommend you stay here when in Maun.

We, a group of 12 people and 6 vehicles some with 4x4 camping trailers overnight at this very great Lodge and campsite. There we water tapes and working power points to power our fridges. The ablution a bit of a walk from our camp was always clean and there were hot water for showers, enough as an Overland group also shared the facilities. At nightfall it was very quite no barking dogs! We really enjoyed our stay. In the past our tour guide did use the restaurant facilities (which was great) but not this time as the group gathered around their campfire for dinner. A pity that the river in-front of the lodge had no water (seasonal) otherwise we would have booked a boat trip. Can recommend this lodge.

來自住宿之回應: Dear Stephan, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your group had a great stay at our lodge and campsite. It’s fantastic to know that our facilities, from the clean ablutions with hot showers to the working power points, contributed to your comfort. We love that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to gather around your own campfire—there’s something truly special about sharing stories under the African night sky. It’s also great to hear that you’ve had positive experiences with our restaurant in the past, and we’d love to welcome you back for a meal next time! Indeed, the river’s water levels vary with the seasons, but we hope you’ll visit again when it's flowing so you can experience a boat trip with us. Thank you for your recommendation—we truly appreciate it and look forward to hosting you again in the future! Best regards from all of us at Island Safaris

Review We’ve been here twice, and the lodge is marvelous. It is surrounded by beautiful nature and wildlife, with really nice chalets and family rooms. The price is absolutely reasonable. However, the experience depends on the staff working during your stay. During our first visit, we had an amazing team, including one staff member named Wuame, who was very attentive and cared for all the customers, as did the others on his shift. Unfortunately, during our second visit, we were not as happy with the staff. The waitresses seemed more interested in chatting in the kitchen and checking their phones. They even ran out of butter for breakfast, and there wasn’t enough salt available. The pappa was already hard, and the steak was burned on the outside. We definitely recommend this lodge because it is beautiful, but we also encourage the owners to pay closer attention to the performance of their staff. There were significant differences between the shifts, and the service quality needs improvement.
