Rileys Maun Far from 3 star rated hotel. Lots of improvements required i.e. Door lock, cup boards, back door lock etc. Softner should be used for the towels. Toaster in the restaurant needs attention.

It was winter season , moderately warm during day time and cold at night and morning hours
Therefore during winter season one might need both warm and summer clothes .
It is excellently placed closer to the mall within a walking distance. Also there is transport available by the gate to take one to a variety of places. The bus terminal is within a walking distance and the airport is at a reasonable distance reachable through the hotel shuttle. Well placed in a tourist area.

I felt very comfortable as soon as I entered the hotel. The courtyard-style environment is pleasant, the room is spacious, and the facilities are complete. Especially the front desk and restaurant staff are very warm and friendly. The breakfast is rich, the dinner dishes are delicious, and the price is cheap. The location is very good, very close to large commercial areas and long-distance bus stations. It feels like home, I will recommend this hotel to my friends.

This is a fabulous hotel in a very busy and loud town. We asked for a quiet room and were given one facing some gardens. The receptionists are friendly and extremely efficient. We even WhatsApp messaged them for advice the night before and they immediately responded, really helping us out as we were self driving and stressing about flooded roads. The food is lovely and the setting tranquil although it is steps from a busy intersection. There is lovely gardens, old world charm despite showing some age. We can't thank them enough for their thoughtful and efficient service.We used their free shuttle service to the airport; on time and friendly. We highly recommend people stay here in Maun as this is one busy town, and Cresta Riley's is a true oasis. Thanks again.

I have always enjoyed my stay here and this time was no different! The rooms do need a bit of an uplift, however my room was clean and fresh, l absolutely love the new Healing Earth amenities (shower & bath gel, lotion, shampoo etc.) and the fact that they're now dispensed from wall mounted bottles, reducing the use hazardous plastic bottles, well done Cresta Rileys! The staff are always courteous and always willing to help. The gardens are as green and lovely as can be once inside the hotel one cannot tell they're next to the mall, fantastic location.

Perfect stay at Rileys. It is of high profile quality and service that i can recommed to people even outside the country. Keep it up and we like what we do. Your uniform is unique but you can enhance it by adding a different colour, a brighter one for that matter. Add SABC to your channels

I would choose somewhere else to stay. The rooms were dirty, the linen was questionable. The service was so slow we are still waiting. It appeared that the staff really didn't enjoy their jobs. They were miserable and didn't smile, everything seemed like it was too much trouble. I had to request a bathmat, others had to request milk, water, tea bags . The things that should already be in the room.

An older hotel in need of some repairs and renovations, eg carpets in rooms, bathroom large but needing to be modernised interior lighting in rooms not adequate and wires taped together in places. But good value, great staff, restaurant quite good but not busy. If in Maun again would think carefully about booking again.

This is a good one-night place for transit, and close to the airport, but not for a vacation stay. Staff was professional and helpful, but our initial reservation was somehow misplaced, and although breakfast and lunch were very good, dinner service was extremely slow (1.5 hours one night and 45 minutes the other), and items on the menu were not available. The entire place looks like it could use some TLC - faucets sprayed, showers leaked, safes were broken, chairs in the restaurant were very worn, and we noticed that paint jobs were sloppy etc. Could easily be nicer and fresher looking.

Good day Doryce W, Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback following your recent stay at Cresta Riley’s Hotel. Your feedback is highly valued and will be used constructively to maintain and improve our standards of service and facilities. Please accept my sincere apologies for the discomfort and inconvenience you experienced. Your feedback regarding your initial reservation being somehow misplaced, dinner service which was extremely slow (1.5 hours one night and 45 minutes the other), and items on the menu were not available, and the general TLC the Hotel requires by no means reflects the high standard of quality and service that Cresta Riley’s Hotel is usually proud to offer. Admittedly, the Hotel is aged and due for another refurbishment, which was originally scheduled for 2020 but has been put on hold due to prevailing conditions related to the impact of COVID 19 on Hospitality and tourism. I am certain that the end Hotel product will be a tasteful design that complements the history and character of the Hotel. Guest feedback is imperative for us to ensure that our Guests’ expectations are being met and exceeded. Without your comments, we would never know when we are doing right, but more importantly, when we are doing wrong! Thank you for assisting us in our pursuit of service excellence. I hope to have the privilege of welcoming you back to Cresta Riley’s Hotel again soon. Regards,

Good day Sue and my apologies for the delayed response.
TripAdvisor does not permit sending of email address or website addresses in our responses and hence l have tried and failed to send you our Reservation's email address. Alternatively you can reach us on our Google My Business page.
We offer free airport shuttle services, please advise the expected time of arrival of your flight and l will book for you accordingly.
Thank you.
There is a shower in the bath we had, but unsure if shower only.
The phone numbers on the website are correct. I found that the phone didn't roll over to voice mail. At quiet times there isn't always someone standing in reception. You may have to be persistent. Also be aware of time difference if you want to be sure someone answers
