BETTA CAMP

Air conditioned shop. When it's 40 outside you will be very grateful.

Wir sind nur zum Tanken dagewesen****

Jo welcomed us with a smile and was very helpful throughout our stay. Our campsite was nicely equipped and the bathroom facilities were scrupulously clean with plenty of hot water for a shower. A great place for an overnight stay with an interesting castle up the road.

SCAM. SCAM. SCAM. SCAM. SCAM

Fellow travellers.

No prices on any of their items in the shop
They make it up as they go along.

1. On the first day I bought a Russian Roll & Apple cake.
I wanted to put it in 2 paper bags.
The young lady insisted on a polystyrene take away container. okay.
Not my first choice. More plastic

I said I'll pay cash.
It cost: N$110. Ouch. Okay... I paid

2. Next day I come with a plate from last nights dinner. (Who needs more plastic) To get a Russian roll & Apple pie.
R80. Why was it cheaper now?
The young lady, hesitated, & with a dead pan face, said it was for the polystyrene container.

I questioned this.
The mother, I believe, meakly answered:
"it has to be bought in'. Standard phrase.
(She had a demeanour, of someone who "tripped and fell against the door handle', one too many times)
One of those farm wives.

So this miserable container that I didn't want in the first place cost more than a litre of diesel ????

So I turned the other cheek.????

I bought another container for N$30.
I insisted on a receipt.
No can do. I have the card printout though.
I asked to get my dinner in it. why not?

Instead of admitting their 'mistake', or apologising:
The heavy set owner, came to my room & gave me a stern talking to, that I am looking for trouble
He was intimidating.

Guess what:
My dinner got delivered on a side plate!
They still have my bloody N$30 polystyrene container that I paid for!!

So I got scammed 2 times in 2 days.

Just spread the good news!
Hats off to you Betta Camp ????
Scammers!

Oh:
Obviously no wifi for guests
No cell phone reception. Ever. They hadnt had phone reception in years.

Nice place to visit in Namibia. After a long day drive. Nice dinner served and breakfast the next morning before you go. We will visit soon.
Best views!!
