Amazing views at the lodge, and amazing activities. We went on the rhino tracking activity and it was incredible: we saw a rhino mom and her baby, and we actually followed them on foot for a little while. We also loved the guided walk & sundowner drive, which both had unbelievable views. Even sitting on the patio at the lodge, the views were stunning. Highly recommend this place. Only thing to be aware of is that the internet doesn’t work in the individual rooms, only at the main lodge (and even there it’s spotty). However, with such views you don’t need internet!

Views for days
The most amazing view of the valley! Amazing food! Amazing service! Pro or con depending on what type of traveler you are: extremely limited wifi and power plugs, a very steep ascent to get to the property (we had a 4WD but if you don’t they will help you get to the lodge)

Superb hotel!
This is an excellent place to rest and recuperate between etosha and skeleton coast park. The view is amazing. The staff is friendly and very helpful. This is also an initiative by an npo so you are helping to local community by staying here as well. The room is beautiful, cozy and just fantastic! No power outlet in the room (because the lodge is next to the cliff!) But you can charge your electronics at the reception. The check in was a positive experience. Theres transfer up the steep slope to the lodge from the parking lot. They have welcome drink and the staff will walk you through the place. Free breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner come with the charge makes it super worth it! The staff will also sing and dance to welcome you during dinner. Theres a communal staff tip box at reception so you dont have to tip everyone separately. We highly recommend this place and will definitely come back if we go to Namibia again!

Fantastic lodge in a breathtaking location.
We stayed here for 2 nights and it was amazing. The pictures don't do the lodge justice. It's in a stunning location and the staff are awesome. They even sang for us one night. The guided walks, tracking and drives were amazing and we wish we had stayed for 3 nights rather than 2. The food was good, and the WiFi was patchy (restricted to 150mb per session). We stayed in the family room which was fantastic value for 4 people, however, it's worth noting that the two bedrooms and bathroom are open ceiling, so they have no privacy (hence family).

We booked a room for 3 adults, but got a very small double room with a extra bed , a very small one, more like a kids bed and no mosquitoe net for the extra bed. The food was very simple. The view was lovely.

All you need is a mosquito net!
Grootberg lodge was our 2 nights' stop from two long days of driving. However, we spent two sleepless nights fighting against mosquitoes....! No matter how much I could spray myself with repellent, they kept coming back biting and flying by my ears! It was an absolute nightmare. All they needed was a mosquito net, like all the other places where we stayed, much eco friendly than the spray repellent.

2/10 Poor

WAY Overpriced!Terribly Disappointing.Inexcusable.
Wrong from the start: The reception staff failed to provided us with accurate information over the phone before our arrival and also neglected to give us vital advice at check-in.We were not told that there were NO electrical outlets in the rooms so we were unable to charge our phones,cameras,etc.(In fact, you must leave all your valuable devices at the reception desk to be charged overnight!)You will also not have any hot water for your coffee or tea in the morning unless you know to ask for a flask the night before (again we were not told!).Dinner was a catastrophe.No ambiance at all in the dining room.Very small portions,overcooked inedible meat (no options),everything drowning in a pool of slimy grease.To make matters even worse,the activity guide,'Ernest', behaved very badly and disrespectfully.He bluntly and quite rudely informed us that there were no 'excursions' available to us.This turned out to be a total fabrication.Yes, he actually lied smugly to our face, concocting some absurd, rambling, lengthy story about how the safari vehicles were broken down,how guests staying two nights had priority,etc. Utterly pathetic, shockingly unprofessional, and totally unacceptable.We saw the manager about these awful and glaringly dodgy missteps, she listened, but the damage was too deep and our stay was ruined. This place requires a HUGE investment in money, time and effort needed to get there and out again, plus suffering The Very Worst Roads in Namibia. You have been warned.

Spectacular setting!
Grootberg Lodge was just spectacular. The view is unbeatable. The staff was super friendly. Food amazing - considering also the remote location. It is worth the drive. You'll already see game on your way up there. Make sure you'll stay two nights at least. We just stayed one and it wasn't enough. We couldn't understand how people complained about the pathway to the lodges in their review. You are in Africa and on top of a mountain - you know it is not a high heel vacation.

OK for an overnight stop but no longer
The location is stunning, on the edge of a high escarpment.However, compared to several lodges we stayed at throughout Namibia, Grootberg has only basic facilities, only average food and is overpriced. The escorted trips are particularly expensive.So, OK as an overnight stopover between Etosha and the Coast, but don't stay longer.
