What the reviews say
- One traveller reported severe issues with kitchen cleanliness including cockroach infestations, though another found the communal bathrooms very clean.
- Women had mixed experiences with staff helpfulness, some found them nice and helpful, others reported rudeness over basic requests like mosquito spray.
- No running water, bucket showers from communal bathrooms. This may be a city-wide infrastructure issue rather than specific to the accommodation.
- Frequent power outages are common throughout Zimbabwe, not specific to this property unless you stay somewhere with a private generator.
- Very centrally located in Masvingo with limited budget accommodation options in the area.
- Double rooms are reportedly huge and clean, though infrastructure limitations affect water access.
