All Comments for Fish River Lodge

The views incredible Considering the remote location the food and general service was 1st class

Really enjoyed the drive into the canyon and seeing the water pools and various plateaus.

Absolutely brilliant views. The experience unforgettable. Will definitely visit again. The food however was not that great. The chef could really put some more effort in to the food. Understanding that they don't have fresh supplies daily though. The view was worth every cent.

Quite apart from the magnificent views and potential for great walks, the staff make the whole experience wonderful and they contribute to the visit being remembered fondly.

The Fish River lodge was an invigorating experience. The facility is located on the edge of the Canyon providing breath taking views of the canyon. The facility itself is well appointed and luxurious. The staff are exceptional, friendly and very accommodating. Food is excellent, although lunch is light and limited. On the down side, signage and directions are poor. We, and as we learned, many others landed at the wrong place - Canyon lodge (Roadhouse), 450km from the Fish River lodge. Also I think the facility should inform patrons of the19km 'trail' to the lodge -a sedan would not make it, at least a 4x2.

An amazing place to stay. Staff friendly. Wonderful trip down into the canyon with our tour guide.

We enjoyed it very much! Lovely room and super friendly staff! Amazing view and service

This lodge is built in an excellent location, with an incredible view, expecially during the evening and the night. It's a good lodge, but only the location is excellent. Due to the price and description I was expectig a much better kind of facilities (that's why I rated it only 2 stars). The restaurant does not give you any option about the dinner, which is really nothing special. I believe 3 is the correct star rating for this lodge. When I arrived the esternal lights (as well as an esternal shower) didn't work in both the chalets I booked, and they never fixed them; they fixed only the esternal shower the day after (because I asked several times). The game drives are also overpriced, in particular the only one worthy is the full day into the canyon (even overpriced). When I left the lodge I had to ask twice to check my bill, they didn't charge the drinks and some activities: I helped them with the electronic calculator!!!! It's a shame that such a beautiful place and lodge is so bad managed.

We had a great time

Breath -taking views! Awesome place. Excellent service.

This was an excellent lodge in all ways. The views the comfort the food. Above all however the staff were all superb. We have been to lodges where the staff seem to be reading from a script or are just not comfortable there, but at Fish River Lodge the staff really knew what they were doing and were enthusiastic and very friendly. We loved the drive to the bottom of the canyon and our guide, Ben made the day very interesting.

We stayed at the Lodge for two nights and were very impressed with the friendly and helpful staff. Very accomodating of our children and adjusted the menu for them. The lodge is situated in a unique setting on the edge of the canyon and is truly spectacular. The road to the Lodge (19km) is an adventurous drive as advertised but not impossible in any vehicle if you take it slowly. Highly recommended, we will be visiting again.

Excellent staff and brilliant setting. Pool not great with everyone lined up in chairs immediately alongside. Rooms and food ecellent for this very remote spot.

Unbelievable setting - definitely worth the visit. Could have supplied tea/coffee facility in rooms but otherwise perfect. Food was also great.

One of the most beautiful places in the world. The staff is great and lovely. Be sure to take the tour down to the rock pool. Totally worth it. Bring ear plugs because the wind is very strong in the nights. Thanks Adam, Ralph, Matthias, Ben, for that great time.

Had a fantastic stay at the Lodge. Unbelievable vista from the lip of the canyon. The best staff of all the lodges we visited in Namibia. Very friendly and attentive. A rather long drive from the main road but absolutely worth the effort!

Eco-friendly resort situated right on the lip of the canyon. Good accommodation service and food. Away from the crowds with no other lights visible at night. Star-watchers paradise.

Despite it being only a one-day stay at the lodge, it was completely and utterly worth the drive in and out. The scenery is stunning, to say the least, and the food was very good. Ruth was very attentive, as were her colleagues. We would recommend the lodge as one of those places you have to stay at if in Namibia.

Our stay at Fish River Lodge was very good. We had a long journey to the lodge, and the road seemed never ending. However, we were welcomed very well by the lodge staff. They provided us with a welcome drink and complimentary tea. At dinner, the main course was beef. I do not eat beef, and told the waitress. She happily provided me with an alternative. Food was very good at the lodge. Though we were tired of the journey, it all paid off after looking at the view. Anyone who visits this lodge should spend more than a night. The only thing was, when we woke up to have a shower, there wasn't any water.

After a 12 hour drive and one border crossing, we were shattered when we arrived, but the view when walking through to the pool area was stunning and uplifting. Well worth staying for a couple of nights, to give you time to explore with the different options that are made available to you on arrival. All rooms have a great view from the edge of the canyon.
