Views are excellent but the rooms and entertainment were disappointing.
Pros:

The location was excellent with fantastic views. Staff were polite and helpful.

Cons:

The rooms looked tired and lacked maintenance. The bathroom tap sprayed water all over the place when turned on. The ceiling in the bathroom was dirty, and the shower was unadjustable even though it had a lever for doing so.There were building renovations going on next to the restaurant and the dust and noise made sitting on the terrace uncomfortable.There was no wifi and the only entertainment available in the rooms was pre-recorded netflix programs.

es wäre eine Traumdestination aber man ist nicht willkommen
Pros:

das Frühstück war gut, sie geben sich Mühe dort. Die Lage ist top, leider nicht alle Zimmer mit toller Sicht aber sie versuchen einem zu helfen ein Zimmer zu erhalten mit guter Sicht.

Cons:

der Service ist extrem schlecht, die Ladies an der Reception sind null interessiert etwas zu tun - NICHTS. Die Weisswein Flasche war warm, sie müssen zu weit laufen von der Küche zum Gast - essen kalt. Service braucht sehr lange bis er da ist und sich um einen kümmert. Nebentisch hatte Gäste die ihren eigenen Speaker mitgebracht haben und haben nicht leise Musik gehört.

A good place to relax, but one needs to be mindful of the season when to get there. In the summer it can be very hot.
Pros:

Nice Location, serenity and tranquil. Give you an opportunity to see and be on lake Kariba and visit the Dam wall.

Cons:

Lack of live television, lack of telephone between the rooms and the reception.

It was decent. I would go again. Siavonga generally lacks activities but is okay for a relaxing stay away from the city.
Pros:

Nice like views, a lot of green and garden to relax. Two swimming pools for residents and a decent gym

Cons:

A lot of steps (stairs). Not easy to move around for someone with physical challenges. Food orders took minimum of 1 hour to be served.
