Overall Ratings & Reviews Rostock Ritz Desert Lodge

Thw entire team, from owner to cook, were beyond wonderful and hospitable. Great food and a place to relax and see stunning scenery. The sundowner trip was a delight. THANK YOU!!! * make sure you rent a 4x4 as roads to the lodge are terrible!!!!

Our favourite stay during our fortnight in Namibia. Helped to break up the long journey between Sosslvei and Swakomund. Great service, delicious food, beautiful remote setting and good size pool. Very special and unique place, would love to return for longer

Rostock Ritz is just perfect. Miles from anywhere with stunning views over the desert. The rooms are gorgeous, no air con but fans and breeze help to cool it down. The pool is perfect, super clean and offers the same stunning views. We enjoyed an amazing steak dinner and a great breakfast. From our room we watched Zebra and other wildlife.

A very welcoming and friendly lodge. The rooms were beautifully situated and adequately appointed. Food was excellent and the service was exceptional. The pool area was lovely.

Amazing tranquility.Perfect first stop after a long flight.

If you want to get off the grid and enjoy some peace and quiet, this is the place for you. Friendly staff and the breakfast omelette is a great way to start your day.

Great location & nice hiking trails, but a bit austere for the price. Rooms are dark and ours had no hot water and a couple of wolf spiders we could really have done without!

3rd visit and we never get tired of it. The views, peacefulness are extraordinary. The staff is also exceptionally helpful, friendly and patient. We also had amazing springbok from thr menu.

Really nice quirky place in the middle of the desert. Nice and friendly owners that explained everything and even explained some star constellation with a laser pointer

The perfect desert adventure!! A truly unique location and lodge built into the side of a rocky hill, and designed with domed ceilings and rocks. The owners live at the lodge, and they were incredibly hospitable, informative, intellignt, interesting, attentive, and all around fun!! The staff was equally fantastic. The pool is one of the best I've used during my month-long travels in Namabia. The scenary stunning, and the hiking options were perfect: from an easy hour to more challenging longer hikes, all from the lodge. Zebras roam close by, and there is a flock of resident guinea fowl, along with the other beatiful birds, and the resident three house cats. I highly recommend this lodge and hope to visit again!!

This property is in the "middle of nowhere", which also means beautiful scenery all around. The place is great to relax and offers some nice little hikes on the property. The owners are on site and really care of the welfare of their guests. We enjoyed our relaxing stay, the great pool, the good food and the wonderful cabin. We do recommend the larger ones.

amazing location and views, liked the style as well. Will go back

A very special desert experience, we are very happy we chose to stay here. Compliments to the owners and staff team for their vision and welcome. If there could be a more powerful way to cool down the rooms in the evening, if the desert breeze dies down, that would be ideal.

Fantastic stay. Beautiful landscape. Excellent service. Food exquisite. loved the walks. We will back for a couple of days next time in a couple of months.

A lovely relaxing stopping of point between Sossusvlei and Swakopmund. The accommodation is quite different from the other lodges we have stayed in, but made of local materials and blended in well with the scenery. We sat for hours on the covered patio of our room watching the activity at the nearby waterhole. The pool area was well designed and a great place to relax.

It has the best view for sunset. However only if there is WiFi in the room too. WiFi at lobby is kind weak as well. No LTE no 3G at at lodge.

Very well run Lodge. We stayed in one of the suites, it was a bit pricey, but what an experience. The views and environment were amazing. A highlight from our holiday. We had one mosquito, and no more. Not any problem. Restaurant was very good, with a very friendly atmosphere. We made a day trip to Sossusvlei which was easy. Put your polarised shades on and the dunes were still red at 1100.

Once you turn off the main road Which is a dirt road you travel for quite a distance to the lodge. Just when you think you are on the wrong road it appears out of the sand. Stay was wonderful, room spacious, staff super friendly, meals to die for. Would recommend this to anyone going to Swakopmund from Sossusvlei area.

Awesome setting, nice hiking trails, wonderful view from the room patio and from the pool. The staff was amazing, kind, helpful, very good service. Good and drinks at the lodge restaurant was great (good choice and delicious). We would stay there any time. The only problem was the shower pressure. Maybe it was just our room or because the hotel is eco friendly, but it was like a faint jet of water falling from the head shower. It was still possible to shower, but it was difficult to since the soap away.

Trails, bushman paintings, wildlife, off roading, swimming. We were in heaven.
