The Delight Swakopmund
10/10 Excellent
"
I absolutely love my stays at The Delight. From the moment I arrive, the staff greet me by name and make me feel genuinely welcomed—it’s not just service, it’s care. There’s a real sense of family here, which is rare to find when traveling.
The rooms are consistently clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, with reliable air conditioning that makes a big difference after a long day. Every detail feels thoughtfully taken care of.
What truly sets this place apart is the staff. They go above and beyond to ensure everything is just right, always with warmth and professionalism. Whether it’s helping with requests or just checking in to make sure you’re comfortable, they make the experience personal.
The bar is also a great spot to unwind with a relaxed atmosphere, good drinks, and a perfect way to end the day.
If you’re looking for a place where you’re treated like more than just a guest, The Delight is it. I wouldn’t stay anywhere else.

"The Iris boutique hotel is across the street from lagoon, making it a convenient location to walk along the water. You can also walk to restaurants in about 30 minutes. We spent one night and had dinner at the hotel restaurant. Our room was spacious and comfortable. Everyone who worked at the hotel was very friendly and helpful. Our dinner was slow due to the understaffed kitchen, but the food was fine once it came. The restaurant also has a nice view of the sunset in the water."
"Superb location close to the lagoon but away from the smelly bit (lagoon smells of sulphur as you go south) close to good dining options, relaxed feel. Rooms were clean and spacious, well serviced. Bar on site for a nightcap. "
"This is a great budget-friendly place to stay. It’s conveniently located near many restaurants and cafes within walking distance. As a female traveller, I felt safe. The only downside is the thin walls, which let you hear guests in other rooms and even outside your balcony. Overall, I enjoyed the breakfast and the friendly, helpful staff. "
"fantastic room just needs a light switch at the bed so you don't have to walk the green mile to turn it off. TV too far away from main bed, but lovely balcony and bath"
