A very warm welcome. Spacious attractive modern room with large furnished balcony and aircon. Lovely refurbished bathroom. Table and chairs to sir at with digital tv. Very good mozzie net and peaceful sleep spray provided. Small kitchenette with tea and real coffee, real milk and some biscotti. Bottled water complimentary. Good wifi in rooms. Lovely pool. Great view from balcony over the river from room 7. Room 1 also nice, but ground floor, and bath not shower. Amazing breakfast included, staff couldn't be more helpful. A fantastic oasis after Moremi.

We arrived at the Waterfront after a stressful Trip and had over the entire time a wonderful experience with fantastic staff and a unbeatable hospitality. Latest when you will get early in the morning a delicious Coffee/ Cappuccino out of a brand-new JURA Coffee machine you recognice the essence of the WATERFRONT House near to the okavango-Delta. We will come bsck and enjoyed it a lot. Thanks for everything.

I ended up here when a safari I had planned did not happen. While regrouping and planning my next few weeks, I had the pleasure of staying here. Obi and the team were amazing and I cannot say enough about how they made it worthwhile. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We stayed here on the last night of our trip. We both loved it. Right by the river with beautiful l gardens - designed to encourage the local birds and wild life. Rooms large and clean and air conditioned - which having been in the delta averaging 41 degrees with not even a fan was very welcome! Be aware there is no on site restaurant so you have to go into Maun to eat in the evening or arrange home delivery. This just added to the experience for us but others might want to be aware. A special shout out to Lesego, Ray and Obi who were all just lovely.

My boyfriend and I absolutely loved the waterfront. The rooms were lovely and clean, and had the best views of the river. We were in a 1st floor room with a balcony on which you could watch all the river activity - lots of birdlife. :) We stayed there at the beginning of September and unfortunately only had 1 night but would have loved to stay longer. The staff were really friendly and helpful, lovely pool area, breakfast was great and they had the best banana cake I've ever eaten, with the exception of my mums. But it was on a parr. When booking we organized a transfer from the airport to the Waterfront and that was all perfect. Someone was at the airport when we arrived and they were also able to transfer us to our next hotel the following morning at a time that suited us. We would recommend a stay here to anyone. Thank you to everyone in the Waterfront, you made our first day and night in Botswana an absolute treat!

Having lived in Maun 33 years ago, we were very excited to be back! We stayed in the Waterfront for one night as part of a longer tour of northern Botswana and Zimbabwe. Patrick was a fantastic host with a great attention to detail and prepared to help with whatever we needed - we really appreciated the recommendation for our dinner in town! The rooms are spacious and spotless and the breakfast was delicious - a special shout out to Patrick's wife who makes all the wonderful different breads on offer! Just a shame we were only there for one night!

we stayed two nights at the Waterfront Maun. We didn't imagine it was such a beautiful place. View of the Thamalakane River at sunset, very comfortable rooms. The place is located 10 minutes drive from the city center, very quiet, still well connected (if you don't have a car Patrick - the owner helps you organize taxi transport). Breakfast was fabulous with homemade jams and bread. we just hope to return soon.

We stayed here before and after our trip deep into the delta, and felt at home right away: a terrace to our room with beautiful views of the river, tea facilities and even homemade cookies at our disposal. The owner Patrick arranged transport to the airport or dinner and accommodated all our needs. He made sure we were ready for the wilderness and took care of any ailments afterwards like anti-dehydration medication. Breakfast was delicious with among others lots of different homemade breads & marmalade and the best cappuccino in Botswana! We can definitely recommend this nice and hospitable hotel. Thank you, Patrick!

We stayed one night at the Waterfront before we started a 10-day safari. Patrick was a wonderful host. The room was clean and comfortable, with a nice big bathroom and shower - all of which was wonderful to recover from a 15 hour journey to Botswana. The room had a big lanai with a view of the river and pretty sunset. Breakfast was fantastic. Several loaves of freshly baked breads and Penelope’s homemade marmalade, which was some of the best we’ve had. Patrick recommended a great place for us to have dinner and had lots of information about Moremi game reserve, where we starting our safari. Also, the hotel arranged for a taxi for us from the airport, which was very convenient after a long day of travel.
