Ξενοδοχεία με Pools σε Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe

The location is excellent, right in the center of town and only about a 10 minute walk to the bridge. The room was just enough for a couple with two check-in-sized suitcases. The breakfast and coffee were good enough if you’re in a rush. However, there were a few issues during our stay. There was no hot water after about 5 minutes of showering each day. We stayed in a corner room facing the main road. From Friday to Sunday, between 7:30 PM and 11:00 PM, the restaurant across the street blasted loud music and non-stop chatter. Even with earplugs, the noise was still very noticeable…quite frustrating after a long day of travel. We asked to change rooms, but the receptionist said this was the best they had available.

Newly renovated, very close to the main camp, the next day to drive to remember to bring food, hungry for two children a day

No food- the only reason I could not rate 5/5 on facilities. The workers are honest. I had forgotten one of my phones after checking out. They contacted me and kept the phone for me for several hours.

Upon arrival, I was able to leave my luggage and join the Victoria Falls tour on both the Zimbabwe and Zambia sides. The next morning, I participated in the safari tour that I had booked at reception the previous night.

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 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.

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.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay. It’s in a quiet location, the staff were very helpful, and amenities are within walking distance. The rooms were clean and comfortable

Милый отель, от водопада до отеля минут 40, днем идти полностью безопасно. Вечером могут быть дикие животные, но и в городе тоже могут быть. Очень улыбчивые и хорошие сотрудники, всегда готовы помочь Сильно промокли на водопаде, а сотрудники вы сушили нашу обувь 😍

Despite the price was a tad steep, everything was excellent during our trip. The driver of free shuttle service was so attentive to introduce each stop snd reminded the pick up time on our way to Victoria Falls. Room itself was small yet clean with spectacular waterhole view. Shortfall was our room was too far from the waterhole itself. Nonetheless their service and breakfast were of top notch and view from the restaurant was unbeatable. What a mesmerizing stay!
