3.5 / 5.0
the place was quite average but value for money for what i paid for it
the owner, Anita, and her daughter Cristabel were trying their best to help all the guests in spite of the constant power cuts. eating food in the dark was a challenge
the hotel is not far from the East Park mall as well as the Manda Hill mall; i also managed to engage a taxi, arranged by Anita, to see around the city amap in about 4 hours
the quality of the room could have been better

Good location
The price I was given at booking.com is not what they charged. The discounted price on booking.com was a lie.
The bedding did not look clean. It's old and stained. Facilities really needs some renovation touch ups

There was a leakage in the room and no hot water

There is wifi throughout the property.
Mind your step. The pavements to the back of the property are uneven and a hazard when you have had a little to drink.

It felt like an island in the chaos. It's well run. The pool was clean. Great breakfast facility. Storage. Food. Proximity to the mall. Best place in lusaka .
Not much just the showers were pretty bad. Leaked out. Everything else .. was great. The food etc. Rooms a little expensive - no towels -but the dorm was good value.

Very nice place in Lusaka. The place is really taking care, with many fruit trees and beautiful flowers.
The breakfast is good and it is always busy with people.
Depending the time of the year, there could be many flies, which are annoying during the day at the terrace.

Property responded when we requested early breakfast. We left part of luggage there when we left for Livingston and came back for another night stay with no extra charge (thanks). Owner and staff were cooperative. Any form of payment accepted.
No complaints.

A good hostel in a great location, the staff were friendly and helpful. The beds in their dorms are comfortable and there are plenty of comfy sofas everywhere. There is a small kitchen, a swimming pool and a restaurant on-site. The chirping birds and a beautiful garden makes the place look like a small paradise in the heart of Lusaka. It's ideal for solo travellers and digital nomads who travels on a low budget. I will definitely lodge there again.

They let us use a 6 bed dorm for our family so we could all be together.
It is a great location, we were able to walk to dinner. The price is great!
There were a lot of mosquitos and it was very hot at night as no fans.
The pool was very green which was a shame as we had specifically booked because of the pool!
2.5 / 5.0
good location and green, eco vibe to the lodge.
Will not be returning unless I have no other option, the staff were rarely at the desk, you’d wait for ages and have to go look for them around the property.
got checked into a private room with a broken shower and very noisy toilet, manager inspected and said we’d get a considerable discount. when came to pay she’d not left any communication about this and all the remaining staff could do was ring around to other staff …going around in circles. what should have been a 5 minute stop to pick up luggage and settle the bill ended up being 1 hour and is getting angry at them, we almost missed our flight.
if you need an efficient place which will sort anything out promptly, this place isn’t for you.
