Terrible parking area at this lodge. They accommodate more people without regard of the parking space. Was called at 21:00hrs to move my vehicle, again, the parking is sloppy and cars easily slip forward when you drive in (can easily cause wreckages and minor accidents in the yard).

The room near the reception is susceptible to noise coming from people who sit around the reception chitchatting (in my case conversations went on till close to 10pm).

Bathrooms did not have soaps, shower gels and mats. I was mostly disappointed by not having mats as this caused water splashes into the toilet area, considering that there was no readily available mop.

Overall, it might be a great place but quite a number of issues need to be addressed, starting off with the parking.

No problem with the hostel itself (apart from the bar having no beer)
But please don't even consider doing a trip with their on-site travel guide.
I unfortunately went from Harare to Vic Falls over 9 days with Garikay Oscar Makuyalt, after putting up with his arrogance and his constant belittling for the whole trip when it came to paying the agreed price he then wanted another 800 USD. Please avoid this con artist

室内シャワー付きの部屋にしましたが、構造的に欠陥がありシャワーの水が部屋に流れて水浸しになりました。
7年振りくらいに泊まりましたが、クオリティは下がってる感じがします。残念。

A very good place to be accommodated in when you are in Harare. They have hot water, wifi, Bar, pool, swimming pool and many more.

Worst experience of any hotel I have stayed. I am travelling around the world from last 3 years been to almost 15 countries never had any experience like this. I stayed there for three nights. For first night I paid and for next two nights I told at reception that I am extending for two more nights. Then what happened that manager of the hotel came to me and said you should have told us for extend (in a rude way ) but I already told the receptionist that I am extending for two more nights but she didn't confirm with her and came directly to me and started behaving bad with me. Then for last night I was sleeping and it was raining for whole night ( who think that water gonna come inside the room ) but at night my whole room was flooded with water and my laptop was on the floor and my laptop stops working. In the morning when I woke up I was so stressed after seeing my laptop and both of my bag were also totally wet. I am a Youtuber and I have a lot of hard disk for storing my data all were wet. I don't mind if my cloths were wet I don't care at all. Then I called manager she was behaving like that It was my fault that I put my all the stuff on the floor. I lost around 1500 dollar because of that hotel and she said we can only compensate with two nights that you didn't pay if I would have paid that they would not do anything. Then she left the hotel in front of me and started laughing on me.

WORST HOTEL EVER STAYED NEVER GO THAT

Overpriced for the location. The rooms were run-down, bathrooms had no hot water and were not clean at all. Lots of maintenance needs to be done e.g. they did not replace lightbulbs, no soap in bathrooms, no towels provided... Most importantly the staff was VERY rude. Do not recommend this hostel at all. Most other people we met that were staying there agreed with us. Find somewhere else!

The first two days there was no electricity. The toilet could not be used. The staff was very unfriendly and not helpful. In addition, you have to be careful that you are not stolen in the accommodation.
This accommodation is in no way recommendable.

Quiet location beside the mosquitoes that keep you awake and eat you

For budget travels good place for some nigths

Place needs in general a touch up

Not bad for a lodge, too quiet a place. No real human life/activity close by.
Must get to the Avondale mall before you meet sign of life/major activity.

Deze backpacker is een van de beter betaalbare plekken in Harare, maar als je een andere betaalbare plek kunt vinden zou ik dat zeker aanraden.
Eerst de positieve punten:
De tuin is mooi, het zwembad is schoon en de WiFi werkt goed. De keuken is netjes en de maaltijden van de chefs zijn goed.
Dan de minder positieve punten:
Met name de goedkopere kamers zijn lelijk (slecht geschilderd, alleen een enkele te felle lamp aan het plafond). Geen muggennet beschikbaar. De gezamelijke ruimtes zijn niet aantrekkelijk.
In de wc is er geen handzeep beschikbaar en ook niks om je handen mee te drogen. Het water van de douche is niet regelmatig warm, maar is te heet en dan weer te koud.
Het personeel lijkt het niet hun zin te hebben. Vragen bij de receptie worden niet of nauwelijks beantwoord. Je wordt niet rondgeleid, dus je moet zelf op zoek naar wc/ douche.
Er is geen wisselgeld aanwezig waardoor ik bij het inchecken geen wisselgeld kreeg (dit zou ik later krijgen, maar dit hadden ze 'zogenaamd' al gegeven en ook bij het uitchecken moest ik meer betalen, omdat er weer geen wisselgeld was.
Ook werden wij drie nachten op rij wakker door waarschijnlijk een van de medewerkers of de eigenaar die midden in de nacht luide telefoongesprekken voerde voor onze kamer.
Ik zou deze plek dus niet aanraden en liever meer betalen voor een betere plek.
