We recently stayed two nights at Burning Shore. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The staff were great. Wonderful sea views right on the beach! The towels and bed changed each day. The restaurant has a good choice of menu and reasonably priced. More

Was in Namibia for two months...started and ended my stay at the Burning Shore. The bad hype is behind this property- excellent, friendly staff, lovely accomodations, and a great restaurant to boot! Exactly mid-way between Swakopmund and Walvis Bay in an area known as Langstrand, an upscale residential beach community. Dune riding and kayaking very nearby. Rates were not extremely... More

We had such a wonderful stay at Burning Shore! The staff is professional and friendly, the establishment is clean & tidy, the security was great, and we felt really at home there! The breakfast was delicious, with a wide variety of treats to choose from! If you're looking for warm hospitality, a home away from home, and a gem in... More

We visited The Burning Shore for holidays a week ago and we were surprised after reading all the bad reviews. We enjoyed our stay and were very happy with all the services and we dont have any complaints. Please dont see it as the Brangelina five star hotel, just see it as a normal Namibian hotel for normal people who... More

Stayed here for 1 night in December 2010. Luckily we got a discounted rate at almost 50%, and at that rate, the stay was average. It would be severly overpriced for what you get if you pay full whack. Design of room let down by open plan toilet (why anyone finds this romantic is beyond me). Design/decor fine, but again,...

There's a lot to do around and about, but beyond a beach with flamingoes and the odd seal (sometimes decomposing on the... More

Very poor welcome (in contrast to all other places we stayed). We were travelling with friends who were shown into a large double windowed room overlooking the beach and ocean - ours had no window and was tiny. As they had no other guests they "upgraded" us to the same size room...but...no coffee or tea with the tea making facilities,... More
