Detailed Reviews
The Hotel is situated around 6km along the main road from the town and airport in beautiful grounds with a well maintained pool deck with a lovely poolside restaurant, which has a varied and very well executed menu.
One wing of the hotel contains newly renovated rooms which are furnished to a very high standards, overlooking the restaurant & pool.
I initially stayed in the other un renovated wing (which I believe is on the list to be renovated soon), on the opposite side of the property. These rooms are in need of a little attention but are none the less, spacious and well equipped with individual balconies. There are also several houses and chalets in the grounds if you want a more personal & luxurious experience.
Although they decor in my room was a little disappointing, I was perfectly content here until the evening when the bar next to the hotel, which unfortunately is situated adjacent to this accommodation wing, opened and played loud, thumping club music way into the night. It became impossible to attempt sleep and resulted in a very uncomfortable sleepless night. It felt like the speakers were directly outside my door at one point.
The following morning, the staff, especially Blessing, the customer service manager, were beyond helpful and moved me to the other side of hotel without question which meant I had 2 peaceful nights. I feel so sorry for the hotel and the staff who have to put up with this noise pollution, it’s totally unsociable.
I fully appreciate that this problem is beyond the hotel’s jurisdiction and it appears they have had problems with the bar before, however a true mark of an establishment’s level of professionalism can only be measured by the exemplary way their staff deal with problems and I have no complaints there.
So, if you manage to avoid the un renovated wing, or at least hope that the noise problems are resolved soon, this is a fabulous property and I’d return again.

Ideal for a night or two before setting out on safari to the Delta. Refurbished bedrooms are very comfortable with both AC and a ceiling fan. The walk-in showers are good and the beds are comfortable. Unfortunately no room safes but there is a small fridge. The swimming pool is area is a pleasant place to relax with a drink from the well stocked poolside bar. Evening meals are eaten outside by the pool and are very good value. The hotel staff are very friendly and efficient.

Stayed in the camping grounds before and after a 3 day delta tour; plenty of shade, amenties are fine (hot water - what more do you want?) but the best is the pool and bar. Fantastic! Great to relax around the pool with cold sherbets after the tour. Also had a buffet dinner - it's not fantatstic but some of the dishes were really excellent.

The hotel staff is very friendly and will go above an beyond to make your stay as pleasant as possible, especially Connie at the front desk. The food is wonderful and more than enough. Be warned that the locals may pay to use the swimming pool, but are requured to leave at a certain time. We had a great stay and will recommend Sedia.

This is the fifth hotel/B&B I have stayed in, in Maun. It’s now with out a doubt my preference going forward. The room had been redone and whilst simple was spotless, with everything I could have needed available.
The venue is quiet, no noisy conferences with load boisterous noises until the early hours of the morning and meals on the deck were really outstanding.
If I wanted to sat anything negative, food orders take time but in my case was irrelevant. The food itself (I had two dinners there) was superb although breakfast is typical hotel fare but adequate

We were returning from camping in the bush, after 400 km of dirt road and sand..needed a rest in Maun before driving to Palapye. We decided to give this place a try, as it looked good in terms of reviews.
The hotel is very old fashioned, and if one loves an ancient type of shower, cottage-like rooms, antiquate furniture...perfect. Dinner was good. But the big problem was breakfast. That was the epitome of disorganization. It appears that who comes first gets all and the others...almost nothing. We asked for juice, and they probably had to go to the nearest local market to buy some. There was nothing left after a group of people going to a safari got their meal before us...given that we were exceedingly tired after a long drive. So, I would not recommend this hotel if you love a good breakfast. I would recommend it if you love antiquate fixtures.

This hotel is beautiful. Staff are some of the friendliest we encountered on our trip. The pool area is very well maintained and dinner was served outside. We enjoyed our dinner, although the portions were a bit small. Overall the room was nice and clean, would recommend.

Stayed on way out and way back from safari. Hotel rather over sells itself. It’s ok. Room large with good beds but dark and en suites need a lift. Ac ok and fridge in room. Bar area and pool both good. A couple of friendly cats. Like others have said big let down is food service. Often food is ok, pizza etc but time waiting is an issue. We felt buffet was forced on us but it was of poor quality and expensive.

On our 3 week trip this was the worse place we stayed.
The rooms were dark. The aircon units were leaking so much they flooded the outside patio so you couldn’t sit out.
The patio doors also has gaps in so were no deterrent for wildlife.
Bathroom windows had holes in so let in the mosquitos.
Rooms were dank so towels didn’t dry out.
Power was unreliable.
The main hotel area, bar and pool were very pleasant and the staff helpful.
