Hotels With Wi-Fi in Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe

I stayed in a dormitory. The room, shared shower, and toilet were all well-cleaned and nice. I planned to stay one night but ended up staying an extra night. However, there is a bar space which is very noisy and plays music until late at night, so it may not be suitable for people who want to relax. I was tired so I ate at the restaurant attached to the hotel. A beef burger was $9 and a beer was $2. The taste was okay.

We stayed at Lulu Lodge in order to visit Victoria Falls as part of a longer trip to Africa. When we arrived at the airport, John was ready and waiting to pick us up and transfer us to the lodge. He was friendly and welcoming. Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had breakfast each day on the shady stoep outside our room, and all the staff were kind and courteous. We particularly enjoyed a dip in the hotel pool, which is clean and pleasantly shaded in the hottest part of the day. We deliberately chose an independent hotel rather than a large corporate one. We wanted to see more of the real Zimbabwe rather than being shielded behind am expensive facade. Some elements of our stay revealed a tight budget for the owners: the minibus had seen better days, and had no air-conditioning, and the shower was a bit temperamental, but this was easily offset by the willingness of John and his staff to show us the places and share the experiences we had wanted to see. He took us to the Victoria Falls, showed us the beautiful Lookout Cafe, which we probably would not have found by ourselves, ferried us into town for lunch and shops, and arranged an elephant ride which was an absolute joy! The elephants were free to roam over an extensive area as part of a conservation project, and we were delighted to have a 7 month old baby tag along with. her mother as we rode. John also took us to a local school where we were able to see students who truly valued their opportunity to have a proper education at a manageable price. We hope to return to Lulu Lodge within the next two years. Thank you, John, Tom and Honest.

The hotel itself is nice in a convenient location. However they are not very transparent about the cost of airport transfer. Before my stay, I emailed to enquire about airport transfer and was told that the airport shuttle is USD 15 per person, and $30 if it is individual traveller one way. I booked a 2 way transfer as an individual traveller and made payment of USD 60 to the Heritage Expeditions Desk upon arrival at the hotel. On my day of departure, while waiting for the airport transfer to arrive, another guest went up to the desk to ask to take the next airport transfer. The staff charged him USD 20. When my transfer arrived, they asked both of us to proceed to the car. I told the staff that I had paid $30 as an individual and asked they could return me $15 if I was going to be sharing with someone else. The staff then asked the other guest to wait for the next shuttle. To be honest I would have preferred to share and pay less, but of course they want every opportunity to take more money from you.

My wife, , myself and our daughter started our visit to Africa in Zimbabwe, and booked 2 days at Pamusha lodge. It’s set in a secluded setting just outside Victoria falls town… probably 20 mins walk if you wanna attempt it , but there’s no need as Pamusha offer a shuttle service , usually with the wonderful Geoffrey driving , for a small fee. ( also a shuttle from the airport !). We found the staff working there incredibly helpful and friendly, especially in organising tours with / through Pamusha as well as any other questions we asked. Food at the lodge was ok , mostly reasonably priced and the bar was also fine. What was quoted was what we paid for tours .Accomodation is a little dated ( no hair dryer etc), but ok for a base to explore from. Yes , not 5 star luxury but would definitely recommend to people for a short stay

Miombo Mews offers absolute comfort, pleasure and unimaginable experience and safety. We feel safe relaxed in a luxurious apartment with the lots. Experienced and friendly staff it’s everything you need for a great vacation. They also offer us destinations breakfast with breathtaking views what you will call once in a lifetime experience

The biggest plus of this hotel is its incredibly convenient location. And the price matches the quality. I can tell you right away that you'll be disappointed with the room size. They are small, and the common complaint about not being able to fully open your suitcase is true. However, for those who appreciate quick, affordable, and quality stays, you'll be satisfied here. The rooms are tiny but clean, the beds and pillows are comfortable, and while there's some noise, it's not critical. The water drainage in the shower was a bit slow, but that's a minor detail. Overall, we were happy with our stay.

The Kafusi Lodge is newly renovated and very clean. The guests have access to a spacious living with comfortable couches facing a flat screen TV. We had the choice of buying and cooking our own food in a fully equipped kitchen, or ordering a breakfast of eggs, sausage, beans, bread, coffee, or tea for only $10 per person. The manager, Jiyane, picked us up at the airport and personally guided us through the town Victoria Falls and surrounding areas making our experience wonderful and informative. Zimbabwe does use American dollars and some excursions are a bit pricey, but overall I recommend this destination and lodge to anyone interested in seeing this world-renowned waterfall.

The Hostel grounds themselves and the tent was very clean. We just did not realize that by booking a “double room” that it was actually a tent. The provided fan was nice and kept us cool in the evening and pool kept us clean during the day. The location though is a bit outside of the town center though so you either need a car or to call a taxi to get anywhere. The restaurant onsite was okay, but it wasn’t explained to us that occasionally they have a special BBQ and you can’t order anything else from the menu. If we knew that at the time, we would have stopped at the market and self catered. But the staff was all lovely and helpful.

Приятный лодж. Красивая территория, неплохой бассейн. Большой номер, хорошая шумоизоляция, удобная кровать, хороший напор воды в душе, есть все необходимое, не было мыла и фена в номере, после просьбы сразу выдали. Для бассейна выдают отдельное полотенце, нужно просить на ресепшн. Из минусов - в шкафу было какое-то средство от насекомых, которое провоняло весь номер, нет антимоскитных сеток, то есть окна на ночь не открыть, в номере становилось душно, кондиционер довольно шумный и не очень хорошо холодил. Немного странная система подключения к wifi - ваучеры, которые в половине случаев были истекшие и приходилось идти за ними заново. Завтрак просто неплохой, однообразный, предлагают яичницу на выбор с различными добавками типа сосисок, бекона, грибов, фасоли и т.д.; его нужно заказывать, время готовки не больше 10 минут. Расположение довольно далёкое от всего, один раз прошлись утром до водопада пешком, не очень удобно. Бесплатного шаттла до водопада не предлагали. Трансфер до Lookout кафе от отеля стоил 10$ в одну сторону, что не очень дёшево, машина оставляет желать лучшего. Доставка еды в номер из ресторанов вечером стоит 3$, довольно долгая, привезли не совсем то, что заказал, видимо не было в наличии, уточнять про замену у меня не стали, купили на свое усмотрение. Разрешили выселиться в последний день на 1.5 часа позже. В Виктория Фоллс не очень большой выбор бюджетных отелей. Этот по цене/качеству в итоге оказался очень неплохим, если готовы брать трансферы и такси. Рядом с отелем такси не удавалось, лучше заранее с кем-то договариваться.

El hotel se encuentra situado a orillas del río Zambezi. Es de los más alejados del centro de Victoria Falls, así que por la tarde si quieres salir a caminar la única opción es un taxi o tu propio coche. Del hotel al centro o a la entrada del parque de Victoria Falls son 10 minutos y el taxi cobra unos 15 dólares. Las habitaciones dan todas a las áreas de jardines, son muy tranquilas y no hay ruido. Las camas son cortas. Una persona que mida más de 1.85 cm le cuelgan los pies de la cama. Todas las camas son iguales, así que yo que mido 1.88 no fue demasiado confortable. El baño es grande, la presión del agua es muy buena. Tienes la opción de pedir un mini fridge sin cargo extra en la habitación. El desayuno si no lo tienes incluido cuesta 30 dólares el buffet, lo cual es un precio bastante exagerado por un desayuno. El hotel ofrece servicio de comida y de cena. He pasado el menú para que podáis daros una idea de lo que ofrece. El hotel cuenta con un servicio de bus (shutlle) al centro de la ciudad y a la entrada del parque Victoria Falls 4 veces al día, siendo el primero a las 9:15 am y el último a las 4 pm. Para retornar al hotel el último servicio es un poco antes de las 5 pm Pensé usar la piscina, pero la cierran a las 6 pm porque a esa hora hay animales que se acercan a ella. De todas formas la piscina siempre estuvo sucia durante mi estancia. Había toda clase de bichos y “cosas” flotando que no hacía muy agradable nadar en ella. Quizás por el hecho de que algunos animales la usan también. Una lástima. Si volviera Victoria Falls me quedaría mejor en un hotel más cerca del centro, para poder llegar caminando y poder pasear, ya que por la zona del hotel no hay nada. La hora para dejar la habitación es a las 10 am, es muy temprano, generalmente en casi todos los hoteles del mundo es a las 12 del medio día. En mi caso me dejaron usar una habitación de cortesía hasta las 11:30 am. Del hotel al aeropuerto el taxi cobra 30 dólares, pero conseguí un taxi que me cobró 20 que conocí en la ciudad y lo arreglé para que hiciera el servicio de traslado. Del aeropuerto al hotel cobran por persona: Una persona 30 dólares, dos personas 15 dólares. El servicio lo puedes pedir al hotel. El personal del hotel es muy amable, todos son amables. Desde la señora que limpia la habitación hasta el personal de la recepción.
