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.

2/10 Poor

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

Good position for viewing the Great Zimbabwe Ruins
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.
