Backpackers Experience
We were on a business trip but wanted to have a feel of the packpackers experience. We enjoyed our stay and wil highly recommend the place. They have a nice view of the river in a natural setting. Mornings are filled with bird songs. The staff a very friendly, helpful and highly knowledgeable about the area. I will suggest anyone to pack some mosquito repellent in the summer months. Excellent stay overall

Not how it's presented online.
Not very impressed with the facility. I have stayed in many backpacker facilities, but this one was not on par. Firstly the tent smelled very badly inside, like sewerage. Water frequently disappeared form the shower. The tent did not close at the bottom, had huge problems with bugs during the night. The braai facility was not functioning, the drum was rusted rite through, but fresh wood and firelighters were put out?...don't get the logic there. We booked and payed for two nights, but only stayed the one night and booked in at another place. Also not cheap compared to other places. really disappointed.
Staff foi amigável, mas as instalações são muito simples. Durante a tarde, por conta do sol, é impossível ficar no quarto/barraca. Excesso de móveis para a dimensão reduzida do quarto. Era melhor que o banheiro fosse externo. Área próxima do aeroporto. O desnível do chão faz a gente escorregar da cama ao longo da noite.

Дельта Окаванго - мечта, ставшая реальностью!
Я пробыла в Мауне 3 дня. Огромная благодарность хозяйке отеля Ketty! Я путешествовала одна и вдобавок плохо говорю по английски. Но Ketty поняла все мои пожелания и организовала моё участие в 3-х экскурсиях в дельте Окаванго: прогулка на лодке Мокоро в дельте, однодневное сафари в Национальном парке Мореми и сценический полёт на самолёте над дельтой Окаванго. Всё хорошо организовано и очень понравилось. Елена

In tenda a Maun
La posizione della struttura è perfetta, in riva al fiume.
Purtroppo le tende non sono in ottimo stato, potrebbero essere tenute meglio.
Non ci è stato detto che la colazione era necessario ordinarla la sera prima, così non ci è stata offerta.

Tolle Unterkunft für "Backpacker"
Die Leute bei Motsebe sind sehr freundlich und bemüht den Gästen alle Wünsche zu erfüllen. Die Küche und die dazugehörige Einrichtung kann jederzeit gratis mitgenutzt werden. Die Zelte (Luxury Tent) sind sauber und mit Dusche und Toilette im Zelt ausgestattet. Der Pool war etwas trüb, weshalb wir ihn nicht genutzt haben. Weiterhin gibt es eine Feuerstelle an der auch gegrillt werden kann. Unser Auto wurde außerdem ungefragt von der Besitzerin geputzt. Mit dem Pkw ist man in 5 Minuten im "Zentrum"... Für Individualreisende mit nicht allzu verwöhnten Maßstäben ist die Unterkunft sehr empfehlenswert!
