An older property providing all amenities and services we needed. Slightly on the expensive side, especially the restaurant and laundry services, but a good stay overall

Very punctual
The ladies in the restaurant are superb, always willing to assist and with a smile...

Meal prices were much higher than anticipated for breakfast and dinner buffets

My last visit to this hotel was in 1997. Some parts have been renovated.
It was a pity, that the door facing to the swimming pool couldn't be opened due to defective door lock. Missed the peacocks, which were there earlier and also the palm tree with the weaver bird nests. It was an attraction at that time.
Food and staff very good.
I find the hotel overpriced. Need some adaptation.
Anyway, might be back in a while.

Stayed here one night to not be in a rush while seeing the ruins. Delightful property that is clean, safe and surrounded by various animals at night (monkeys, baboons, etc). Food quality was good at the restaurant but buffet dinner starts too late - tourists don't care to wait until 19:00 to eat, they are up early to do tours and want to eat when they come back and move on with the evening.

Loved the swimming pool. The food was okay but not great. Power outage was a disappointment but I realize there was nothing to be done.

Didn't like anything about this property. I was very badly treated, given an awful room which was no where near the standard i would have expected for the price I paid. I did eventually get another room, which was better but still not great, noisy, cold shower, very dated, broken chair and three bathroom wasn't that clean.
Food was also of a poor quality

We chose this hotel for its nearness to the great Zimbabwean Ruins. It is a pleasant 700 metres walk. Our room was large, room and bathroom in need of upgrading. The bed large and comfortable. The staff without exception were friendly, helpful and efficient. The buffet breakfast, which was included was great. There are no aircons only a fan. Feel that this Hotel is over priced.

Though the setting is stunning and the staff is sweet the hotel is completely overpriced for the current state it is in. As with many of Zim hotels it has not had any renovations or upgrading done in decades. The bathroom was the worst, hardly a working shower and the tab of the basin did not give water. Loose tiles, dirty walls, chips and cracks everywhere. The setting is great, next to the stunning Great Zimbabwe monument.

Service was great, even the trainees did a nice job. Large room with a large bed, not so comfortable shower and bathroom. The food in the restaurant was not particularly good. All in all I'd say you stay at this place for the location, since you can walk to the Great Zimbabwe Ruins. Other than that, it's totally overpriced for the quality it offers, and that goes for both the room and the food.

In general it was great. The staff are welcoming and helpful. The location couldnt be bettered. The hotel is a bit distressed, but attempts have been made to improve things. There was plenty of hot water and the beds were very comfortable with good linen. The few glitches are not worth mentioning; this is Zimbabwe after all. The main problem was that the card machine was not working and we had to use up all our cash. That left us with nothing to tip the staff, which was a shame as they deserved it.
