Average airport, clean and well organized.

This airport shows great potential and appears to be undergoing development aimed at future improvements. Retail options were limited, with a single general-purpose shop open during my visit—interestingly, it also offered Wi-Fi access for purchase. Bandwith was OK. There is a lounge on-site; however, access was restricted exclusively to clients of a specific bank. Unfortunately, there was no option to purchase entry, which felt like a missed opportunity for both travelers and revenue generation for the airport and bank. The seating area featured older furnishings, but this worked to its advantage. The chairs were very comfortable and this was much appreciated due to the delayed departure of my flight to JNB. Inbound customs and immigration processing was both thorough and efficient, with officers demonstrating professionalism and courtesy throughout. Having loved my time in Lesotho, I look forward to returning and seeing this airport's future enhancements.

This place has been run down.No sense of urgency from anyone. Process slow and not professional. It's like marabastad.

Very basic and poor service from ground staff. They act like you should know what to do and where to go. Let’s not even talk about how they mishandle your personal items at the security checks / scanning machines.

The airport entrance opens at 6:00am and the terminal a few minutes later. It's a very small airport, but with expansion work underway.
