"Clean, comfortable and convenient. Food was good. Nice breakfast buffet. Betty was very helpful at facilitating dinner. We had almost all of our meals at the hotel. This is a family friendly property so know that you might hear laughing kids running around. Only critique is the walls are thin. Easy for our guides to pick up and drop off for safaris. Would highly recommend for a family. Also affordable."
"Was very welcoming, awesome staff, clean and pretty rooms, lovely breakfast and was close to the road. Perfect place to stay over on your way to your destination. We unfortunately had to drive at night and do not recommend driving in Botswana when dark, roads have lots of potholes when coming from Groblersbrug Border Post."
"The Chobe Safari Lodge was a very expensive mistake.

The Bad:

- I had to ask for soap and shampoo to be brought to the room; there was literally none. It took three...
"It’s always a pleasure to stay at Mondior. The room was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated with an African-chic touch. I was also pleased to see that the Wi-Fi has improved since my last visit.
Breakfast at the newly renovated News Cafe, conveniently located on the hotel premises, was very good. There is plenty of secure parking on site, and the hotel is less than a 10-minute drive from the CBD, making it a convenient choice for both business and leisure stays."
