A beautiful place to relax. The views during the day go forever and the night sky is filled with stars. Recommend at least a two night stay to recharge your batteries before exploring more of Namibia.

Great place. The views are stunning, the food was great, full bar and the staff were very friendly. The manager even drove me to another lodge twice to get transport to the park and later to get a bus back to Windhoek. I'd definitely come back to this place!

A great stay at moon mountain lodge
Southern Namibia isn’t an easy place to find hotels, luckily we found moon mountain lodge and it served as an amazing home base for my travels to Sossusvlei and Sesreim. Breakfast and dinner were included with our rate, the staff was welcoming and went out of our way to make my stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Relaxing Stay
This lodge is spectacular with views for miles, the staff is super friendly and accommodating. The rooms are comfortable and offer the same panoramic views to wake up to. It's a bit further from Sesriem but definitely worth the drive as it offers a superior Namib experience to the lodges around the entrance in my opinion. Would definitely stay there again.

Best lodge ever
It has been the best lodge I have ever seen. It is over a mountain facing an infinite valley. The sunset there is speechless. The staff is very kind and welcoming. The food is great. The room was very spacious and we had also a private patio with a small pool. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a place surrounded by the nature.

Due to the Covid the hotel was very empty and we were the only guests staying at the lodge the first night, which gave the stay a bit of an eerie atmosphere. Nevertheless the staff was very friendly and attentive. The rooms were spacious with spectacular views, albeit slightly dated.

We chose this property because we wanted to "glamp" and it exceeded our expectations. We views are incredible, facilities are beautiful, food was delicious (breakfast and dinner are included), and the staff were amazingly friendly and personable. The location is about 1 hr from the Namib-Naukluft Park entrance to Sossuvlei & Sesriem which is very convenient. It was the perfect getaway--and a desert oasis--for my husband and I who wanted to get away from busy city life. We highly recommend, you won't be disappointed!

'Over the Moon' at Moon Mountain Lodge
We arrived late afternoon after a dusty drive from Windhoek and couldn't believe our eyes when the lodge appeared built on the side of a mountain. Our room was amazing with a private plunge pool and the most amazing views across the Naukluft Mountain Zebra Park. Hannes, Wilkkah, Dinally and the two Fessys' and all the staff made our six night stay wonderful. When visiting Solssusvlei do not miss the world beating accomodation and service that comes with Moon Mountain Lodge.

Moon Mountain Lodge is a spectacular accommodation that looks every bit as unreal in person as it does in photos. It is a trek to get there, but is simple enough to find (we basically took one road, the c14, from the airport all the way (287 km) there) Once you arrive, you are within an hour or so's grasp from some of the most jaw dropping scenic routes and destinations in Namibia (Including Sossusvlei, Deadvlei, and various national parks). The staff was lovely, the food was good, and our lodging (#17) was exactly what we'd hoped for, with wall to wall views of the landscape around us. On our last night we took a sunset drive with a member of the staff to what looked like the Lost World, where we climbed up a hill and drank wine and ate snacks as the sun set on the Namibian bush. I highly recommend MML for a truly special, and breathtaking place to stay.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Enjoyed our stay very much. It's only 40 minutes drives from the sand dunes of Sossusvlei. The rooms were spacious and clean with amazing views. We had a plunge pool too which was nice. Food was a set menu each night but was tasty and well cooked. We would stay again if in the area.

Beautiful views and unique location
There are not that many places to stay on the way to or near Sossusvlei. This hotel is located about 30-40 minutes from the entrance and has incredible views from it's perch on the side of a mountain. The location and the views are incredible. The staff are lovely and the food is very good. The rooms are a step up from platform tents though there's a private bathroom for each and the room was large. There are a lot of bugs and it's worse at night if you leave lights on. Some people will not be bothered by this. It was fine for 2 nights but for the price I was expecting something a bit more upscale. Go for the views and the experience. The sunset was among the best ever.

Perfect wilderness opportunity
Absolute tranquility, Beautiful desert loaction, very welcoming staff, good homely food and great location for “downing tools” Internet caused some issues but this could be seen as a positive - get away from it all. Approx 1hr to the Sesreim gate if you want to visit the dunes, Also highly recommend the Zebra park for hikes

Moon Mountain Lodge was excellent! It is rural, however it is the perfect pitstop between Windhoek & Sossuvlei. The lodges are immaculate, well kept and very spacious. Each has a viewing deck and moon pool, making it the perfect place to watch the African sunrise/ sunset. I could not recommend this place enough!

The lodge has great views and sunsets. Staff are friendly, and very helpful. Due to the remote location internet connection is a challenge, and wifi did not work during our stay, but management is looking for a solution. The lodge is also looking at renovating, and the appointed interior designer was actually there during our stay. Breakfast and Dinner is good, and we can't complain. The splash pools are the highlight of the units. They are not heated, but once you jump in it's great to cool down in the hot Namibian sun with a drink in hand.

He gave us great advice on how to best see dead vlay and the sand dunes, he made sure we had breakfast packed for us (even though we forgot to mention we'd need them) and then on top of it had great stories about Namibia to tell.

Disappointing.
Wonderful views, but there is no wifi - hasn't been for months - and staff are not very informative. Ran out of Appletiser, rum... things one would consider basic at any lodge. Reagan was an exception and very helpful. Found litter in the veld during one of our walks, and generally the focus is not on the environment. No bath, which didn't bother us but it was in the room description. Very hot and no fans. Avoid room #8 which, although convenient to the common areas, is noisy with annoying lights from the kitchen.
