Must stay
For couples rooms, there should be one double mattress to improve in comfort, our room had two separate ones placed together with a gap inbetween.
We didn't know that we had to pre-book game drives and missed the afternoon one which we had rushed to check in in good time to be able to join but were told it was fully booked.
Aside the above, all was excellent.

We would recommend a dune chalet rather than a chalet, the view from the terrace is next level. The "naturdrive and sunset" is fantastic, if you're lucky you will meet Bruno & Grace, a friendly White rhino couple. Dinner and breakfast are a 10 out of 10.

Expansive Kalahari views
We had a two night stay at Bagatelle - stsying in one of the dune chalets. The view of the Kalahari is spectactular from both the balcony and the room and it is possible to see several animals. Apart from the dune chalets, it looked like the view from other rooms was far inferior.
The room itself was large (not massive) and well conditioned.
The main lodge building has the restaurant and pool - both are functional but nothing special - except Kudu wander in.
The food was excellent - highest quality we had in Namibia.
Overall staff service was good if a little unenthusiastic.
The lodge offers a few activities. We did the nature drive around the ranch and cheetah feeding which was excellent. They also offer star gazing but the astronmer was not there so we were unable to do it.

Très dommage, le tapage nocturne a ruiné le reste
Tout aurait été parfait si seulement j'avais pu dormir! C'était la nuit du 31 décembre, c'est sympa de faire une animation musicale, mais si j'avais voulu faire la fête toute la nuit je ne serais pas venue dans un lodge cher au milieu de nulle part! Je voulais juste me reposer et profiter de la nature, à la place jai eu un concert puis une musique de boite a tue tête qui m'a empêché de dormir.

Ein wundervoller Fleckchen Erde mit atemberaubender Kulisse, super nettem und zuvorkommendem Personal sowie einer der schönsten Aussichten die man sich vorstellen kann. Tolles Essen.
Wir hatten die teuerste Zimmerkategorie, Exclusive Dune Chalet, und es trotz des wirklichen hohen Preises nicht bereut.
Lediglich der Hauptpool könnte dauerhaft etwas mehr saubergemacht werden.
Wir haben keinen Cent bereut und würden beim nächsten Mal wieder dieselbe Zimmerkategorie wählen und die Abstriche woanders machen.

Un zoo avec une belle vie pour les animaux
Les dunes sont tres agréable avec une belle vue. Le personnel sont très sympha mais malheureusement les propriétaires sont très désagréable avec eux, j avais honte. Ils pensent que les blanc sont superieux aux noires. On n a pas aimé du tout ! Le safari est pas naturel, comme un zoo mais les animaux ont une belle vie.

Parfait
Cadre très calme et très sympa.
L’accueil était sympathique, nous avons eu une jolie attention pour notre lune de miel !
Un bon nombre d’activités proposées.
Nous avons choisi le nourrissage des Leopards et le coucher du soleil. Top pour notre 2eme journée en Namibie. Le guide était très sympa.
Le repas était très bon, le petit déjeuner était bien.
Très agréable de prendre un bain en observant le désert et les animaux !
Le prix reste néanmoins élevé en comparaison avec d’autres belles adresses

Un posto meraviglioso, circondato da dune rosse. Bella l'ambientazione, molto bella la nostra camera (Chalet Savannah). Ottimo il cibo e la colazione. Abbiamo fatto tante delle loro attività e abbiamo visto tantissimi animali: giraffe, rinoceronti, gnu. Molto bravi nel creare esperienze. Vi consiglio comunque di fare questa tappa all'inizio del viaggio, perchè dopo l'Etosha non ha molto senso. Ma all'inizio devo dire che è stato davvero fantastico. Ci tornerei domani mattina. Bravi!

Die Umgebung der Lodge ist Traumhaft und das Personal ist super freundlich. Leider ist die Lodge etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Die Fotos auf Expedia sowie auf der Webseite entsprechen leider nicht der Realität. Daher war die Enttäuschung leider recht groß nachdem wir eingecheckt haben.

Erste Klasse
Wir kamen vor Sonnenuntergang an und hatten ein wundervolles Abendessen. Der early morning drive um 6:15 ist unbedingt zu empfehlen: wir sahen Giraffen, Antilopen und zwei Nashörner

Amazing stay
We loved our stay. The location is amazing and so is the service.
We really enjoyed the Game Drive, it's a must (we took the combo tour and we loved it).
Service was great and food was really good. Dinner was at a very high level.
For me, being Vegan, they had a lot to offer which is not common in Namibia.
I would highly recommend it.

Die Lage der Dünenchalets is spektakulär, ein wunderschöner Ausblick mit herrlichem Sundowner auf der eigenen Terasse.
Jedoch muss man feststellen, dass die Anlage in die Jahre gekommen ist. Hier fehlt seitens Management die ständige Kontrolle und ggf. Nachbesserung.
Preis-Leistung war nicht wie erwartet.

Schöne Lodge mit toller Aussicht (Dunechalet) auf die Kalahari. Die Chalets sind schön eingerichtet.
Der Service ist etwas langsam aber sehr bemüht.
