Acceptable lodging in nice area
We were welcomed and our room was ready. It was not spacious but clean. The bed was comfortable but the curtains need to be denser as they did not stop any light. Shower room as big as sleeping area. When lots of others (local football team) present the water and Wi-Fi suffered. We had breakfast and a little more communication over substitutions on menu could have saved their resources, I.e. liver was not a welcome substitute for sausage. Parking fine and grounds nice. However it was good we didn’t arrive on Saturday when they were taken over by owner for her private party.

My stay at Daisy's Guest Lodge ✌
My stay was lovely. Though I had locked my suitcase, I found it unlocked. The only thing I missed were a few match sticks intended for my citronella candles. But most of the the things were acceptable. The Guest House can improve on the TV Channels as well as the screen to be clear.

We enjoyed our stay.. it's not the nicest of buildings but the room was spacious and clean.. we had our privacy and we had comfortable a bed. Could do with some tables in the room and more shelving in the bathroom.. we didn't try their breakfast as $10 each seemed pricy

Response from Yvonne on 15 Dec 2015
Thank you for feedback Mr Mutizira. We would like to re-state that your package did NOT include breakfast and to accommodate you we went on to offer you a complimentary breakfast which you declined. I am sorry for your experience .We have however taken your feedback on board and will in future clarify the packages that would have been selected by the guest at check-in. `

First Class Accommodation
I stayed at The Daisy Guest House during a recent visit to Zimbabwe and would not hesitate to recommend it. The guest house is a series of lodges within private grounds. Although the double suite on the first night was disappointing, I was moved to much better accommodation at the top end of the complex. The rooms there are clean, spacious and comfortable. The staff deserve particular commendation. Nothing is too much trouble for Yvonne and Bob, whether it is changing money at the local bank, offering use of the Internet or giving advice about accommodation in other cities. All of the above, plus the reasonable rates, mean I would definitely return. Just one problem: the location of the guest house is generally not known to taxi drivers, so mention that it is off Coates Road near the Kamfinsa Shopping Centre.

Good enough
The room was clean, could have used a floor rug as the tiles were cold. Breakfast was ok. TV dd not have many channels, would have been nice to see the local channel so we could watch the local news and weather. It felt lOverall it is an up and coming place with great potential.

Très belle expérience dans cette guest house. Un personnel au petit soin, attentif à nos besoins et très serviable. Je le recommande à tout.e.s. La soupe du chef un délice! Le seul petit hic c'est le bruit du générateur mais on finit par ne plus l'entendre.

Familiäres Guest House in angenehmem Wohngebiet
Durch Zufall sind wir im Internet auf dieses Guesthouse in Harare gestoßen. Wir suchten eine Unterkunft in relativer Flughafennähe und in einem ruhigen Wohngebiet außerhalb der Innenstadt. Als wir ankamen, hat uns die sehr nette Atmosphäre gleich angesprochen. Am meisten überzeugt oder vielleicht sogar überrrascht hat uns die fast schon familiäre Hilfsbereitschaft der gesamten Belegschaft. Durch die Hinweise, die wir bekommen haben, konnten wir unsere Reisepläne konkretisieren. Die Konsequenz war, dass wir bei jedem Aufenthalt in Harare in das Daisy Guest House zurückgekommen sind. Und dies wird auch in Zukunft so sein. By pure chance we found this guest house on the internet. We were looking for some accomodation close by the airport in a neighbourhood area rather than in the city itself. When we arrived we were immediately taken by the friendly athmosphere of the guest house. Most convincing for us was the extraordinary helpfulness and cooperatefulness of the complete staff so that we could plan our trip through Zimbabwe more precisely. So during all our stays in harare we came back to this guest house and it will be like that in future.
