Namibia Hotels, Hostels & Accommodation

Accommodation in Namibia is some of the most well-priced and well-kept in Southern Africa, and covers a huge range of options from hotels to rest camps, campsites, caravan parks, guest farms, backpacker hostels, B&Bs, guesthouses and luxury safari lodges. Most establishments are graded using a star system based on regular inspections carried out by the Hospitality Association of Namibia (HAN; hannamibia.com).

Hotels with restaurants also get a Y rating: YY means it only has a restaurant licence, while YYY indicates full alcohol licensing. For a full list of accommodation pick up the comprehensive booklets Namibia: Where to Stay, Welcome to Namibia – Official Visitor’s Guide and the Namibia B&B Guide, free from any tourist office. HAN also publishes a map showing the locations of most lodges and guest farms.

Many lower-budget and backpacker places do not include breakfast in the price. In B&Bs, guesthouses, farmstays and safari lodges, breakfast is usually included in the cost of the room along with either half-board or full-board options. The former would include breakfast and a set dinner, while the latter also provides lunch (either a set lunch or a buffet-style spread).

Price ranges in this book are as follows:

  • Budget <$50
  • Midrange $50-100
  • Top end >$100

While most budget and midrange options tend to have a standard room price, many top-end places change their prices according to the season. High season is from June to December, while low season corresponds with the rains (January to April).

If you are booking one of the high-end lodges you will usually have to confirm your booking with a credit card; this is not necessary, however, for the bulk of accommodation.

In this book, sleeping listings are listed in order of author preference.
