Categories

Cleanliness
1
Repeated praise for spotless, squeaky-clean rooms and property; guests explicitly called the hotel 'spotless' and 'very clean'.
Service
1
Consistently strong positive comments about staff being friendly, helpful and accommodating (multiple mentions of specific staff like Vimbai and the manager Peter, airport pickup, attentive reception).
Location
1
Generally convenient (close to the falls, easy taxi access) but a handful of comments note it is a little outside town/center and walking is not recommended due to distance and wildlife concerns.
Room Quality
1
Rooms described as modern, airy, comfortable and located by the pool; overall positive remarks on room condition and facilities.
Amenities
1
Good amenities noted (pool, free airport transfer, Wi‑Fi, TV, dining area) but occasional power outages and a noisy experience in heavy rain reduced the score.
Value for Money
1
Mostly positive stay but a notable negative (a $20 charge for paying with eco cash) and some service timing issues weigh on perceived value.
Food and Beverage
1
Breakfast receives praise in several reviews (À la carte, 'amazing breakfast') but a few guests explicitly said breakfast quality could be improved; mixed sentiment overall.
Overall Experience
1
Many guests said they'd return and praised staff and cleanliness, but recurring operational issues (surcharge, occasional power cuts, transfer timing, distance/wildlife concerns) tempered the overall impression.

Pros:

El desayuno estupendo en un entorno muy agradable y tranquilo. Y para cenar tienes la opción de quedarte en el hotel o bien acercarte a la calle principal que está a pocos minutos andando sin problema. Personal amable y atento. No se puede pedir más. Y para visitar las cataratas se puede ir andando: unos 20 minutos desde el hotel.

Thank you for a wonderful stay
Pros:

The service was exceptional. We loved that this is a small boutique hotel where the staff learn your names and greet you personally. The team were very welcoming on arrival, quick to arrange transport when needed, timely and well priced laundry service, lovely breakfast each morning, and just generally helpful and friendly. The location was very convenient to town, grocery store and a few fast-food options. Couldn't be happier with our choice of accommodation. Thank you for a perfect stay, cannot wait to visit again.

Cons:

Other than breakfast, meal options at the hotel were limited. A small and simple all-day menu would be great for when you return from an activity and dont want to head back out to the store or a restaurant to eat, or for just enjoying around the pool at the end of a busy day. That said, the rooms have a bar fridge and the grocery store is safe walking distance, and the team will arrange food delivery for you also. This would not stop me from staying again!

Lovely hotel
Pros:

Great choice for breakfast. Lovely clean and quiet room. Great shower - plenty of hot water.
Superb staff with free collection from airport and onto our next hotel.
Good value for money in a very expensive area for hotels. Would recommend.

Cons:

We had a room adjoining another room which had a smoked glass door between. No curtain to pull over so we were disturbed by their bright lights being on late at night. Need a screen or blind to pull down.

Super séjour
Pros:

Très bon séjour dans un hôtel agréable et propre. Notre chambre donnait sur la piscine, très sympa ! Une équipe formidable, chaleureuse et aux petits soins. Le restaurant sur place est également très pratique. Merci au manager et à toute l’équipe pour leur gentillesse et leur disponibilité. La navette gratuite pour l’aéroport et la ville est un vrai plus.

Cons:

Rien à signaler

Nice experience with a great staff.
Pros:

The staff was outstanding. They provided information on restaurants and different activities and every one of their recommendations was outstanding. The front desk staff answered any questions and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of.

Cons:

The pool was too cold to use. It looked very nice but very cold.

Perhaps look elsewhere
Pros:

Clean, spacious room, comfortable bed

Cons:

Shower was temperamental - one minute it’s fine the next you’re being scalded with boiling hot water. Shower amenities i.e. shower gel and shampoo were low quality.
The design of the room is bad in that the front door is opaque glass and there are bright lights outside which stay on all night so the room is bright all night which does not allow for a restful sleep. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were not, so we didn’t sleep very well.
Breakfast selection is poor and you’re better off going elsewhere if you can - I had some “muesli/granola” and it contained unshelled pumpkin seeds, not enjoyable at all. Coffee was passable and there was very little in the way of fruit juice available either, the containers were always very low on volume.
Service was somewhat lacking and you got the impression that they were only nice in order to get a tip when they did something. We were also told at check in that they offered a complimentary trip to the Dallas, which was good. Except, when we went to arrange the transport, we were basically accused of already getting a trip before by the staff behind the desk, so we had to explain we hadn’t and then it felt like it was something difficult to organise and the attitude of the staff member was different- not impressed and found the value proposition was very poor for what we paid and glad we won’t be returning.

Der Roséwein hätte kühler sein können ;-);
sonst alles top;

Comfortable
Pros:

A staff member by the name of Russell a respectful understanding young man noticed he accommodated myself including other
guests at Savanna 68. I was in my own business for 37yrs this young man is a credit to his employer. Should be training him up
in time to
become a manager.

Cons:

Noticed they used leftovers from dinner for breakfast by adding sauces pasta or beans etc. Although the very basic things were edible.
