Book Phakalane Golf Estate if you want the highest-rated stay in our Gaborone sample and a quiet, green setting, and you have a car or budget for taxis. If you want to walk to sights in the city centre, one of our other two picks will suit you better.

This is our Luxury pick for Gaborone. It suits travellers who value calm over convenience: couples on a quiet break, golfers and people attending events at the convention centre. Guests talk about greenery, golf course views and peaceful surroundings.
Skip it if you do not plan to drive or take taxis. The two city landmarks in our data are more than 10 km away. Families should note that family rooms are not listed, and neither a pool nor a gym appears in the facility list, so check before you book.
Location and getting around
The listed address is simply Golf, so confirm the full address with the hotel before you set off. The Three Dikgosi Monument is 10.9 km away, around 136 minutes on foot, and Christ the King Cathedral (Gaborone) is 11.2 km away, about 140 minutes. Both are far: you will need a taxi, a car or public transport. Walking times are straight-line estimates.
Free parking is listed, which helps if you rent a car. An airport shuttle is not confirmed. The location score is 8.9, which reflects how guests rate the setting rather than closeness to the centre.
What guests say
The score is 8.7 out of 10 from 248 reviews, joint first of the 7 eligible properties we compared in Gaborone. It is the top score among our three picks, though by a small margin.
Staff come across as friendly and professional, with helpful, attentive service. The setting is the other strength: peaceful, green and quiet. Breakfast divides opinion. There is a wide variety, listed as Continental, buffet and breakfast to go, but some guests report cold food and flies.
Price and what you get compared with the other two picks
The reference price was €117.59 a night, about €235 for two nights. This is a reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not a live quote. Check today's price for your dates. It was above the sample median of €96.81.
Our Best Value pick, Peermont Mondior Hotel (3 stars, 8.6/10), was €96.81 a night, about €21 less, with a better location score and a free airport shuttle listed. Our Budget pick, Regent Select Hotel (4 stars, 8.2/10), was €74.72, about €43 less. Factor taxi costs into the comparison: staying out here may add transport spending that the city hotels avoid.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 7 eligible hotels in Gaborone. Five-star hotels get priority for the Luxury slot, and a four-star hotel can only take it with a score of at least 8.5. With 4 official stars and an 8.7 score, Phakalane qualified and had the highest guest score in the sample.
Before you book

Ask the hotel for the full street address and how to reach the city by taxi. Confirm restaurant hours and whether breakfast is part of your rate.
