We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The staff in both the hotel and the restaurant were exceptionally helpful and kind. I will admit that my American "entitlement" intially had me thinking that the hotel was not "up to my expectations". I'm glad that I came down off my high horse and appreciated the attention to detail and graciousness in which the staff provided. I will gladly stay again.

I was in Gabs for a week for work, and I was pleasantly surprised by Avani. Room was comfortable and quiet, there were multiple restaurants and a coffee shop on site, and the gym was pretty big with multiple machines, treadmills, weights, etc. Pool looked nice but I didn’t have a chance to use it on this trip, though the seating around it was really nice for grabbing a bite to eat while finishing work. And the spa is amazing! Great massage there. I will be back!

Short stop at the end of a longer trip

Comfortable one-night stay. The room was well furnished and in decent condition, though the AC was a bit tricky. Bathroom was very modern. The hotel has a nice decor,but some areas are showing signs of age. The pool area is nice and large, but could have been a but cleaner and needs new or more modern loungers and seating options. The food menu at the bar was limited, and the food was ok - not the best we had in Botswana, but not bad either. There was a DJ by the pool that was very loud (as seems to be typical in Botswana) but this finished at around 22:00 so did not disturb our sleep. There is no lift, but the staff did help by bringing our luggage up to our 1st floor room.

Terrible

Very noisy on the street. Aircon is so noisy you have to turn it off. The restaurant was not open so you had to sit by the pool where some local DJ played loud music that was not to my liking. It was windy and cold. I believe the kitchen burnt down a while ago but noone informed me on booking. Left early...

unfortunately, the experience at reception left a lot to be desired. Both during check-in and check-out, the reception staff were not welcoming at all. They were unfriendly and made me feel like I was inconveniencing them simply by expecting to be checked in. What was most disappointing is that they continued with their own conversation while I stood there waiting, making me feel invisible. It came across as unprofessional and very unlike the Avani service I’ve come to expect. A disappointing start and end to an otherwise decent stay.
