200 pppn for camping. Bed in dorm 300. Jammed together with other campers half a meter apart. Overall the facilities are nice to relax in. Too expensive for what is offered in my opinion and I would not camp here again. Recommend to look elsewhere.

Thank you for the review, our camping rates include breakfast and free wifi, in Etosha you pay over N$550 for 1 person camping, with nothing included except dirty ablutions and a hard dusty ground. Our campsite is small and for those who insist they want to camp. I also camped when I travelled many years ago, as my tent was my home and safe place, sometimes it was in crowded spaces, but it was my choice to camp. Safe travels

Great backpacker hostel. Friendly staff. Location is very central. Unfortunately, I did not feel safe when walking on the street. Too many street kids and a lot of solicitation, some of the street kids looked very drunk and dangerous.

I stayed for 1 night at the hostel. The included breakfast was good, the room clean.
So what happened is that I was sleeping in an empty 6 bed dorm (it was only me, no other persons stuff was there and I didn’t see anyone the whole day after my arrival + at the reception no one told me I had another roommate and even less that it was a man) when suddenly at midnight a random guy came into my room. I got very scared, put my flashlight on and asked who he was ( I could barely see, only his silhouette) No answer, he just pulled his shirt off and jumped into a bed. As a young women travelling alone I was freaked out and decided that I could not sleep alone with that strange guy in the same room. So I went out and looked for someone who could help me. Luckily a guy came and put me in another room.
I told the women at the reception what happened the next day and I really did not like her attitude. She actually said it was my fault because I did not know what I booked for. what? I don’t think it is normal to have some stranger coming into your room at midnight and on top of that that no one told me I had a room mate. I have been in other hostels and they always warned me in case I would have a dorm with a lot or only 1 other guy so I could decide if I wanted to change or not. It is the hostels responsibility to warn people, especially women, in such cases(especially if they don’t have girls rooms!) I would have had 0 problem with 3 girls and 2 guys in that room but 1 guy, coming in at midnight with no stuff no nothing not even saying hello when I ask him who he is,sorry this is absolutely unacceptable. And then blame me, even though she could see I kinda got traumatised. I would not recommend it for solo women, they don’t take you seriously… I was disappointed and that’s because I left earlier than planned. Just didn’t feel safe there.

Thanks for your response, Chameleon is a very safe environment for our solo female travellers and we take all allegations like this very seriously. We have been in business for 30 years and we have never "warned" someone in the dorm if there are 1 or 5 other guests, it is a given that you will be sharing. Our dorms are mixed sex and we do not advertise female only dorms, my suggestion would be to book one of our Luxury Tents as a solo traveller on a budget as it is the same price as the dorm, then you do not share the space. I am sorry you felt uncomfortable and my apologies for the reaction of my staff, they have made the assumption that you are a seasoned traveller and know the challenges of choosing dormitory accommodation. Safe travels

Well maintained and spacious hostel.
The staff and people staying there are all very friendly!
The kitchen and the outdoor lounge around the pool are great.

Very nice backpackers hostel. We did get a double bedroom with view on the pool. We had a late flight out and it was no problem to store luggage and use all the facilities after we checked out.
Apologies for forgetting to pay the bar bill and that you had to track me down at the airport to get it settled.

Bardzo przyjemne miejsce, dobre na pierwszą noc w Windhuku, blisko do centrum handlowego, obsługa również pomocna, można zapytać o atrakcje i porady, jest basen, bar, aneks kuchenny, miejsce parkingowe na zamkniętym terenie. Mieliśmy pokój Elephant z oddzielnym tarasem, śniadania w formie bufetu w cenie.

Excellente auberge. Nous avons pris une chambre double (nommée Éléphant). C’était très propre et confortable. Très bon rapport qualité/prix. Possibilité d’utiliser la cuisine, repas du soir proposé à l’auberge pour pas cher (nous n’avons pas eu l’occasion de rester), bar et piscine. A 10-15 minutes à pied du Craft center et des points d’intérêts de Windhoek. Je recommande !
テントエリアに宿泊しました。空地にテント貼る感じでした。
キッチンが便利で使いやすくてよかったです。
中心地からちょっと遠いのがネックでした。
