The host lady (forgot her name) is very kind and goes out of her way to ensure that the guest are well taken care of. She is an angel. The lodge is nicely situated and is well taken care of. I will not mind using it again.

Return
Supporting staff and nice property. We enjoyed staying at the house. Not many guests as there are few rooms. We would by sure return. Area around is not for walking. Take a taxi or book your driver.

Besonders schönes und großes Zimmer mit einem großem Bad. Die Ausstattung war sehr gut, lediglich das Jacuzzi funktionierte nicht. Dafür funktionierte die Dusche hervorragend, was ich in Afrika nur selten erlebt habe.

NOT a nice experience
The place was quite nice, I was staying for a week so I became a familiar face. All the time the houselady would ennoy me and ask me to go to the supermarket to buy her cola. Everyday she would ask me over and over again to get her some.
I didn't really felt a lot of privacy since all the time someone came knocking for some reason.
I was also quite upset THEY RIPPED ME OFF with the taxi from the airport. The hotel arranged it for me, so one would think it is a fair price but THEY CHARGED THE DOUBLE AMOUNT.
Also the last day they really pushed me out of my room at 9h30am, while the check out was stated to be at 10am

Quiet, central B&B
I was one of two guests, with a room opening onto a lovely garden with weaver birds building their nests. Warm welcome from Joyce, good breakfast. Feels very safe. I came and went by hire car - convenient location. Very good alternative to a hotel

Capital guest house
Comfortable accommodation but cold. Breakfast room open to garden. No cafeteria for meals apart from breakfast. My booking said free bottle water but after one small bottle on arrival I was denied further bottles even though I was there for three nights. Not a very convenient location. The housekeeper Joyce was helpful booking taxis and ordering a takeaway.

Lovely Guesthouse
The guesthouse is very clean and modern. The breakfast was great - bacon, sausage, juice, coffee, eggs (made to order), toast. This is a very cute home with lovely accommodations. The lady arranged a cab for us to go out to dinner and helped us with the shower and also brought us extra coffee to our room after breakfast. We stayed only one night as we returned from safari and were flying out of Gaborone the next day. I would highly recommend The Capital Guesthouse.

Convenient and Comfortable.
I usually prefer the anonymity of a larger hotel, but this small guesthouse managed to make it feel like I could come and go without comment. The garden rooms are a little small, but perfectly comfortable and contain a desk. Joyce was very helpful and pleasant and always available for assistance. The linen was spotless and the bed very comfortable. Breakfast was varied and good. During the week the resident chef can be alerted to supply lunch and/or dinner. I didn't get to use the lounge or other public areas, but all looked comfortable and conducive to work or leisure.
