Staff was friendly. A nice natural sanctuary, surprising to find in Lubumbashi. A bit out of the way. Mostly quietly except Sunday afternoon and late into the night there was loud music from nearby events or nightclubs. But will stay there again. ##### Hugh Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Vivian 24 Oct 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities As an international traveller, i have been to hundreds of hotels in past 20 years, i have never had such a bad experience. The receptionust was rude to say the least, first she said she couldnt see my reservation, provided me with an email to email her the reservation witch i did. Afyer waiting for almost 45 minutes she insisted she can't aknowledge my reservation and my form of payment because she is unable to see it in her system. That it is impossible to ok online reservation the only one that can ok it has gone home it was 4pm that i shcancel it online and find a different hotel to go to. I tgat point i told her I haven been travelling for 10 hrs i was exausted. I showed her on my phone how i made the reservation, i went through the entire process. She still insisted she cant see that i paid. Afte a while, she said fine and gave a page of more than 20 question to answer before she would consider putting me in a room. Some of the questions were what is your proffession, what are you in town for, so many other question i couldnt remember them all now, obviously the normal biometric questions like name, race, sex, date and place of birth etc...i immediatleky told her, that was too invasive, and i have never in all the hotels troughout the world i have lived in, asked to fill out such details just to have a room. She then decided to give me room. Well the room was nasty, the rug on the floor smell musty and cigarette. I asked for a different room she they were sold out. ##### Vivian Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 9 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John 31 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### John Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel du Vin & Bistro Harrogate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Harrogate-Hotels-Hotel-Du-Vin-Bistro-Harrogate.h7728221.Hotel-Information) > > [Omega Tours Adventure Company & Eco Jungle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Ceiba-Hotels-Omega-Tours-Adventure-Company-Eco-Jungle-Lodge.h13248623.Hotel-Information) > > [Hamlet Bed & Breakfast](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubrovnik-Hotels-Hamlet-Bed-Breakfast.h4208541.Hotel-Information) > > [NAU Salema Beach Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vila-Do-Bispo-Hotels-Salema-Beach-Village.h15175162.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Vietnam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Vietnam.d194.Hotel-Destinations) > > [5 Star Hotels in Amsterdam City Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Amsterdam-City-Centre-Amsterdam-Hotels.s50-n6200211-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Best Western Station Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dumfries-Hotels-Best-Western-Station-Hotel.h26217.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairfield by Marriott Goa Benaulim](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Benaulim-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-Goa-Benaulim.h69551801.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Balcony in Leeds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Hotels-With-Balcony.0-0-d6035434-tHotelswithBalcony.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Athenaeum Grand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Athens-Hotels-Athenaeum-Grand-Hotel.h18460618.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cala Figuera](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cala-Figuera-Hotels.d6047835.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Kingham Plough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chipping-Norton-Hotels-The-Kingham-Plough.h24179674.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paynes-Bay-Hotels-Beach-View.h2560469.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Wakefield](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wakefield-Hotels.d5455.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Virgin Atlantic Edinburgh (EDI) to New York (JFK) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/virgin-atlantic-from-edinburgh-to-john-f-kennedy-intl/vs/edi/jfk) > > [Flights from Shanghai (PVG) to Osaka (KIX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/pvg/kix/shanghai-to-osaka) ### Cars > [Car hire in Melksham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Compare-Cheap-Car-Hire-In-Melksham.d182583.Car-Hire-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [Murree Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Murree.d6141511.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Bang Tao Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bang-Tao-Beach-Choeng-Thale.d500795.Attraction) ### Holiday Rentals ### General > [Visit Ispica](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ispica.dx6047756) > > [Visit Islamabad](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Islamabad.dx6141508)
