Shalamanzi Lodge

The location of the place, we easily access places of interest

Environment is not conducive, no maintenance of infrastructure. Kitchen facilities are not up to standard, there is no stove and pots, as it is self catering facility. The place needs to be improved a lot.

The breakfast was not what I expected. English breakfast without cereal is not ayoba

The room, bedding and beds not to mention towels. We couldn't even use them. It was not what I was offered. The pictures that attracted my attention was not what I found. I'm not happy at all, in fact I'm so disappointed.

Nothing. The reason is that my friend's car was broken into and a Laptop was stolen. The place does not have security. Thieves can jump into the property very easy because the front wall are not high and the gate was always wide open when we arrived until late in the night. We had to ask for the gate to be closed after the incident.

Everything. The fact that our friend's car was broken into made us not to enjoy our vacation. The owner did not even call me our come to assure us of the any safety for the reminder of of our stay. I wont recommend the place to anyone. We waisted our money and feel like getting my refund.

The view of the place. The rooms were perfect and clean.

Nothing at all

The inside lock of the door was completely broken. We could only lock the trellie door, not the door itself when we left the room. The fridge was over frosted resulting in the door not sealing and water draining on the floor . we had to remove the over iced ice on the fridge compartment just to get the fridge door to close and keep our items cold. The Kitchen counter is made of press wood that has swollen from a continuing water leak from the kitchen taps above and resulted in a bad smell in the room. We had to sleep with the fan on not to smell it the entire time. The kitchen cupboard had this bad smell when you opened it to get anything out as well.

Restaurent is just next door - pleasure to walk there.

During light outage we were provided with candle stick - besides this being not safe it is premitive and not comfortable to the eyes.

The location was good.

From the get go, the staff was not friendly at all. Parking to small and cramped. Bedding was full of stains. Walls was dirty, especially the shower. Shower leaked. Wall decorations were broken. When I made the reservation, I took the option with a balcony. We had no balcony. Overall, the premises looks neglected. Personally I would not recommend this property.
