Now for the good news. The place is very affordable. 450 pula a night for a queen bed room. If you can afford to pay more, try another hotel. We only ended up there because the Cresta was full. When this place was first built, it was probably reasonably nice. My guess is that the owner hasn't invested much in it since then. The property is a few kilometers outside of Maun and thus is not particularly conveniently located. From the moment we got out of the car, I could hear loud music coming from the bar. Not an auspicious start. The receptionist was friendly and helpful and reassured me that the music would be turned off at 9pm (it was 10:30pm). She showed me to my room. There was one towel in total. I had to ask for a bar of soap. The air-conditioner barely cooled the room, even at 17 degrees at the highest fan setting. The carpet was stained in several places. The tv worked but only had 10 channels (not a full DSTV package). The bed was reasonably comfortable but the pillows were old and lumpy. There wasn't a mosquito net. Thankfully the water in the shower was nice and hot and had decent water pressure. There were no toiletries provided so be sure to bring your own. We opted not to have breakfast there which would have been another 75 pula. For an absolute budget traveler, this will do.  

You get what you pay for

We arrived at 1:30 am after a long drive from Francistown. We were showed to our rooms promptly and efficiently by the night duty staff. The beds and rooms were clean and comfortable. Breakfast was good, and the service was excellent. I would recommend it any day.

Excellent place to stay in Maun

We had a good time in this hotel. Staff was really more than 100% helpful to guarantee a good stay and organize good safaris. Room was great too, even the power adaptors for other than Botswana electrical devices was available. The food in the restaurant wasn't that good. Choice of the menu is okay but quality wise is need some attention.

Staff and safaris 100%, food definitely less

After reading some reviews I thought I'd just first check it out. Very clean and spacious room. Quite cheap for what it offers in terms of accommodation. Food not too exciting. Rather forgo meals and get something in town or at other lodges. The pool works...jus needs a clean once in a while.

Better than expected

Prior to travelling to Botswana, my wife needed a visa. To get it, we need proof of accommodation. Senthaga was extremely helpful in rapidly producing documents to help our application.
We booked for three nights. But, at the last minute, delayed our arrival by a day. Senthaga contacted bookings.com to ensure we didn't pay for the unused day.
These are just two examples of how helpful they were.
The place itself was fine. Nice pool (but the sun was a bit too hot); excellent game drive to Moremi; but no soap in the bathroom.
One strange thing ... although we booked as a couple, they said we had to pay for the second breakfast as there was only one free breakfast per room! We argued ... and didn't have to pay in the end - but a strange policy!

Generally, very pleased with the place

We stayed in this lodge as part of our tour in Botswana.   The rooms have air conditioning, a fridge and a hot shower.   The rooms look dark because the light in the room was very dim.   WiFi     availability was intermittent and the pool was empty when we visited and there were no mosquito nets. The staff were very helpful and they did their best to accommodate us.
