This place is on the banks of the Zambezi river and all our rooms came with a river view! Staff is very friendly and I liked a lot the ladies from the kitchen and bar... I think they have been around for years!
The hotel needs a good 'handyman' ... many small things are waiting for reparation! Now it's a good place but it could easily be also a great place! And yes. One big minus is, that hotel has not any airport shuttle, even though there are no taxis at the airport. And airport transfer is very heavily overpriced with those who offer it!

I enjoyed the boat cruise, it was amazing. Breakfast was great....Rooms are clean and the price for accommodation is very good.
I didn't like the food,(dinner to be specific)expensive and very few also the taste wasn't that good. One person working at a bar and taking food orders and bringing food at the same time......

Breakfast was exceptional. Beyond what one could expect. A variety of cereals, cold meats, cheeses, olives, pickles and breads plus English breakfast on request. The rooms were very neat and the staff very friendly and helpful.
The water in the pool was covered in leaves. The cleaning pump was still lying inside the pool. Hot water kettle in the room was not clean, had fungi and pieces of paper inside.

Booking through Booking.com was for 2 rooms, but the Hotel only had 1 room booked out. Luckily, they had a cancellation and could accommodate us.

The view of the great Zambezi river from our rooms and dining areas.
The breakfast on the second day was not great but acceptable for the lodge

Location - on the banks of Zambezi Nice staff
Needs some TLC. The room lock didn’t really work, for example

Great location next to the Zambezi River. Had good nights sleep.
The wifi in the room was basically a non starter.
