What attracted us was the price & pics. Only to be disappointed. Positive thing: Employees were good. Doing their best to make us comfortable. Bravo to Cindy. The negatives: - no soap in the bathroom. I requested & was told that the place does not provide - no toilet paper. - no hangers in the closet - outlets were not working. Only connection was fridge & TV - AC was installed but not working - no TV channels - poor breakfast ##### Cleopas Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kennedy Marco 29 Jun 2022 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It’s not an hotel at all in the real sense of the name. ##### Kennedy Marco Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Pfungwa 13 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Happy customer Staff was amazing and very helpful.

However, There was so much noise in the corridor from staff members. You hear them talking/yelling/laughing loudly whilist you are trying to sleep. And there was no toilet paper or soap in the bathrooms had to use ours. The tv remotes do not work at all ##### Tatenda Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 17 Sept 2019 Liked: Staff & service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### John 6 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Economical Great service and price.

The room was ok for the money. The included breakfast was fair but slow in coming out. A taxi drive from the downtown area or the falls park so be aware. They do a good job of booking the various tours but try to pay ahead and get vouchers to avoid anxiety ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 16 Mar 2019 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2019 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 26 Jan 2019 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort CUSTOMERS BITTERLY COMPLAINED.

Not all rooms though. There was no hot water in our room but the manager was sweet enough to explain to us that it was a new room that was being used for the first time. Generally it was fine and I think when completed it will be perfect. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 4 Nov 2018 Liked: Room comfort Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities #### Disappointed Avoid this place, The fridge wasn’t working and the tv showed black and white pictures.The girls who work in the kitchen seems to have different prices for the menu. Ordered sweet and sour chicken instead we got rice with uncooked chicken which we sent back. The price of sandwiches went up from $6 to $10 overnight and only to be told after we had eaten when we were about to pay. Also we were given stale bread for breakfast see pictures. We paid for a trip then cancelled as the price had changed from Zim dollar to USD when we asked for our refund we were told we need to pay $20 charges just for a refund only to find out later when we asked one of our relatives that it was not true. The owner/ manager very crafty charged us $30 for transport to go to The Boma only to find out when the driver was being paid that it was $20. If you stay here book your own excursions as she puts extras on. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 30 Oct 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort When we arrived they only had one room and not the two we booked. The owner was very nice and took us to the Falls and to a restaurant. Very friendly staff. The room did not look like the picture and was not yet finished. They are still busy building the establishment. No aircon but did bring us a fan. Room was clean but not finished and all tiling done. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 22 Sept 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had no hot water for 2 if the 3 days no plug in or mirror in bathroom the whole complex is unfinished no light bulbs in sockets in room this was not even up to backpackers standards never stay here ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Linda, Calgary Canada 23 Aug 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities If this property was advertised appropriately we would give it 5 stars but it is falsely advertised showing the best room and the completed portion of the premesis when in fact it is much different. We made the best of it and the staff (prettay) compensated for the things lacking in the room. Breakfasts were delicious and anything the staff could do for us during our stay was done with kindness and sincerity. ##### Linda Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Ramesh, Warwick 29 Jul 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities #### Basic hotel with pleasant staff This hotel has basic facilities. The toilet seat was broken, there was a broken ventilation grill in the wall, the door in the corridor leading outside wouldn't close and the standard of workmanship was generally poor. WiFi was OK and the water was hot. Victoria falls was busy so we were in a tight spot when booking. This is essentially what you'd expect as a backpacker. ##### Ramesh Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2018 ### 2/10 Terrible #### G, Gaborone 6 Jul 2018 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fake advertisement Dissapointing nd realy terrible.no reception area,still ubder construction,bath tub plumbing nt done,took close to an hour to get hot water,bathroom dirty,shower door not completly closing ##### G Stayed 1 night in Jun 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Pinimidzai 28 Dec 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Nightmare at the View Lodge We had a nightmare experience at this lodge. At first we were taken to a dirty and smelly room, and were only 'upgraded' to a better room after complaining and requesting a cancellation for the booking. However, we still were asked to top up with $20. I advise other visitors/guests not to rely on the photos they see online for the View Lodge, they are deceptive. The place is still largely a construction site and lacks general cleanliness. I should commend then staff members who work at the a lodge that they are trying their best under the circumstances but seem to be let down by the owner. Management is responsive and willing to engage when complaints are made. They should be credited for that too. It was an appalling experience for my small family. Thank you ##### Pinimidzai Stayed 1 night in Dec 2017 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 15 Nov 2017 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities No aircon in room. No hot water in shower.

If you are looking for low budget accommodation this would be ideal. However, our one night stay was comfortable. When the construction is completed I would definitely consider staying there. ##### sunshine ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 14 Mar 2017 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Staff, but Where's the Lodge? Staff were super friendly and helpful. Sad, because they need to go work in a real lodge. This place is under construction, and only renting out a few rooms in a large, ugly construction scene. One of the four outlets in the room worked, so we ended up moving the bed to connect a required CPAP. Lighting is provided by bulbs sticking out of bare walls. Shower has no hot water, and a tub with no plumbing. Linen is typically third world, sheets that don't fit and soon end up in a ball. ##### Verified traveller
