Guest Reviews

• Robert (10/5): - Great service Very clean Great staff
• edward (10/5): - The friendliest and most helpful staff. Truly an African gem. Would stay here again.
• Lester (10/5): - Lovely tranquil setting, very helpful staff, clean tidy rooms, tasty breakfast and a rip roaring garden fire pit. Would gladly stay again if in the area. Thank you
• Amy (10/5): - Gorgeous and wonderful staff, all so friendly and helpful. They drive you to where you want to go and offer transfers or assist in booking day trips from the lodge. Lovely breakfast set up and 24/7 tea and coffee station. Lovely seating area for eating and a fire pit at night and lovely food and drinks available throughout the day from their menu. Rooms were comfortable and very clean. Nice and peaceful place!
• Ineke (10/5): - It was very nice to be in this location. We had a pleasant time with very much activity and the people are nice and friendly. René and Ineke Griffioen
• Luis Alberto (10/5): - El hotel esta muy bien y el l personal muy agradable y muy atentos.
• Jeremy (10/5): Great stay in VF! - Great lodge in the northern area of Victoria Falls, maybe 2 miles from the falls themselves. It's a $10 taxi ride from the border crossing, or you can walk it easily if you don't have luggage. I walked from the lodge to the falls and back in a morning and walked back to the border in the afternoon. Wonderful indoor/outdoor restaurant, clean rooms, very friendly staff. My stay was excellent. Only one night, but I wish it had been more.
• Mazell (10/5): - Pamusha is a gorgeous African delight. Great value. All activities can be planned from the hotel. Free airport shuttle (30.00 value). Incredible staff. Thank you, I refer travellers to you all the time!!

• NOMBEKEZELI (10/5): - Very lovely place ,clean my kids loved the pool ,breakfast etc
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Excellent staff and service. Very friendly staff.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - The staff was incredibly helpful. They fixed breakfast for us an hour before the usual time, they arranged extra transportation for us. Eat dinner at the restaurant, the stir fried chicken was excellent.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Our experience at Pamusha was nothing short of Wonderful
• Verified traveler (2/5): Running Water Problems - Pamusha Lodge's biggest positive is the staff. They were all extremely welcoming and hospitable, giving us a tour of the outdoor common area and our room. There was no bottled water in the room, but there was tea and coffee always available in the outdoor restaurant. Breakfast was included. The bedroom was clean and the linens immaculate, though I preferred not to walk barefoot on the bathroom floor. The outdoor area is slightly shabby, but there is plenty of shaded seating, and a firepit. The negatives are that you can hear every sound from the adjacent rooms. My mosquito net was hung off to the side of the bed rather than directly over it, and was being held together by half a dozen bandaids. It didn't fit properly over the bed, and I had to sleep scrunched down and with my head between the two pillows to keep the net off my face and prevent mosquitoes from biting me through it. The biggest issue was the lack of water. Neither the bath or shower worked, and the sink only worked maybe 20% of the time. The shower sprayed for about 6 seconds, then became a small, cool trickle. I managed to lather up and splash the soap off (washing my hair was a lost cause) for a few minutes until the water stopped entirely. I then tried the sink, where the water only ran for ten seconds, then the tub - same thing. Had to wash my face with bottled water the next morning. Our tour operator said VF businesses have water reserves, so this isn't something that he hears about happening at all.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - .. the planning of the excursions and the dedication of the service were incredible
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly helpful staff. Shower hard to control. Lights in room were dim.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - Great location in a quiet neighborhood, friendly staff, great food
• Verified traveler (8/5): Guest - Manager was a bit shady attempted to book us a room for the next day at double their regular daily rates
• Karen (8/5): - Great location and very friendly, helpful staff who were available 24/7. Relaxing place to stay.
• Allison (10/5): Time to telax - This is not a resort but the attention of the staff and the relaxed atmosphere make for a relaxing stay. Food is freshly cooked by Ivy and she will cater for your needs. Arnold is the “Jack of all trades” and makes you feel very welcome. Pamusha can organise tours for you and does breakfast, lunch or dinner cruises. The dinner cruise is good value and we say lots of hippos and elephants.
• Verified traveler (8/5): The staff was friendly - The staff was friendly and the rooms were decent.
• Parmjit (6/5): Near Victoria falls - Basic accommodation. Staff were friendly.
• L (6/5): Einfaches Hotel an den Vic Falls - Einfaches Hotel mit toller Lage zu den Fällen. Die Zimmer sind einfach, das Personal ist bemüht. Preis Leistung ist akzeptabel.
• Verified traveler (4/5): Not worth the proce. - The hotel has obviously seen better days. The staff were friendly and accommodating. But there was no place to eat inside - this in a mosquito infested area. The housekeepers would clean the room with the door open and left the non-screened windows open when they left. The room was filled with potentially malaria carrying mosquitos all night! My friend, who had a separate room requested a twin bedded room instead of the king sized bed she was given. The second room had no reading lights, the shower had almost no pressure and the furniture was bare and needed paint. My room was OK, but was not worth the $150 per night charged - $100 a night would have been more appropriate and her room should have been about $50 a night. They did not give us free water in our room and very careful to charge for every little extra they could. The only saving grace of the hotel was Edward, who was a wonderful driver , cook and who knows what else. The garden and pool were lovely, but not so great as to overcome the other deficiencies of the place
• Verified traveler (8/5): empfehlenswerte Unterkunft etwas außerhalb - Ruhige Lodge, Zimmer unterschiedlich, Nr 1 Shumba sehr schön, Frühstück ok, Essen muss man dort nicht unbedingt, nettes Personal, sicherer Parkplatz für Auto.
• C (8/5): - Very welcoming and relaxing boutique hotel. Staff were friendly and accomodating, and helped us to book activities.
• Ben (8/5): Nice Lodge in Victoria falls - stayed for 3 nights in September and was our first stop in Africa, the lodge is set in nice grounds with a bar area which was well stocked , good choice of food for breakfast , the rooms although basic were clean with a nice size bed Best part for me were the staff who very friendly and would do anything you asked , i booked a couple of tours through them and they worked out fine location is a little of out of town so i used the shuttle bus to get around and they would always have someone ready to take you at a few minutes notice
• John (4/5): Disappointing Dollars Spent - Although the lodge is tucked away in a quiet setting and had an unique African feel, my wife and I were really unimpressed with this place. Our room was dated and unappealing. The windows had no screens so leaving the windows open let in mosquitoes though the bed did have a mosquito net over it. We used a skeleton key to open our room door. I can not comment on the food because I did not eat there but the food at lodge's restaurant could be purchase at US big city prices - WOW. The staff provided adequate assistance. The lodge was fairly close to Victoria Falls but I felt more comfortable using a cab to get to the falls rather than taking the 20 minute walk. The lodge had it own drivers and they were great. The lodge manager, Wisdom, arranged 5 tours for us which was very helpful. However, I was surprised to learn that the price quote for some of the tours did not include transportation and I felt like Wisdom made of the charges off the top of his head. All in all, my wife and I believe that we could have a booked a better place for the money.
• Brendon (8/5): Quiet, relaxing and comfortable - Very friendly and helpful staff. Quiet and relaxing place.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Victoria Falls - Great hotel for the price for short stays. The management and staff were extremely helpful. They went out of their way to accommodate our needs.
• Khanya (8/5): Pamusha is home away from home - We really enjoyed our stay there. The hospitality we received was really great. The only negative was the quality of the food.
• Barbra (8/5): Great experience - Our stay was great at pamusha lodge, we recieved a great welcome by the staff Agatha was very good to us she made us feel at home. She showed us Good places to go around especially the falls and the Bomer was awesome my hubby had a holiday of a lifetime being to africa for the first time. We hope to come back.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice staff - Unser Ausgangspunkt für Chobe-Safari und Besuch der Falls. Guter Service.
• Christine (8/5): - Pamusha is very relaxing and the rooms and bathrooms are very spacious. The staff is amazing and very friendly and helpful. We ate our meals there and enjoyed everything.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Very expensive - Very expensive for what was a small room and a poor bathroom. Zimbabwe seems to be very bad value for money now that it is aligned to the dollar.
• Anna (8/5): - Everyone was super friendly and accommodating. We enjoyed our stay! Thank you Susan for arranging our trip to Chobe. Michael is a great driver and Simba makes the best breakfast! Agatha took great care of us. Overall thumbs up!
• Verified traveler (4/5): sehr sehr mässig - Das Essen geizig, die Zimmer lieblos nd der Pool dreckig - nicht nochmal!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice hotel service, clean room - Very nice and helpful hotel service. The lodge needs maintenance. Rather expensive for what you get.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Very nice lodge. - We stayed here for 2 nights, Wisdom met us at the airport, arranged all the outings and entertainment, if we asked for, transport, it was readily available any time we wanted. Rooms basic but comfortable, excellent bed, we slept like babies. Good food, great staff would highly recommend . Ian & Gill Martin
• Sue (10/5): Wonderful holiday in a delightful boutique hotel. - Wisdom and his staff at this delightful hotel made us feel so welcome and comfortable. I would highly recommend this "home away from home", the food, rooms and staff were fabulous.
• Verified traveler (10/5): wonderful - Pamusha is amazing. The staff are so welcoming and helpful, and it is very obvious that they want you to have a wonderful stay. The room we had was a bit small, they did offer us another room but it did not have a veranda. The food is wonderful, and much better priced than that at the restaurants in Victoria falls. Pamusha also is a bit further from activities, although they provide transfers for $2 pp to town, or $3 pp to the border. It is within walking distance to the bridge (about 1 mile) if you would prefer to save some money. Make sure you take a sunset cruise! Do utilize the staff for activities or recommendations on what to do or where to go as they are all wonderful. We are so pleased that we stayed at pamusha. Remember, this is not a 5* hotel, but for the price I highly doubt you can beat it.
• Serge (8/5): Spectacle grandiose à quelques minutes! - Bon accueil, chambre ordinaire, bon service (payant) de navettes to/from ville et aéroport (très utile vu l'isolement relatif du lodge),bcp d'excursions et activités (assez chères à mon avis), tous les prix sont en USD:l'ensemble m'a paru trop cher "pour ce que c'est!" mais ça doit être général, il faut là aussi relativiser vu la concentration touristique et sans doute la difficulté pour le ZBW d'essayer d'être aux normes pour les infrastructures. Personnel aimable et serviable. Finalement, je recommande!
• Kirstie (8/5): - Loved this place. Staff are so helpful. It's a bit out of town but they're always happy to drop you anywhere and pick up when you call. Rooms are comfortable but bathrooms could do with an upgrade, more than adequate though.
• Maria Begoña (8/5): Próximo a Victoria Falls y más económico - Buena ubicación cerca de la ciudad de Victoria Falls y a 10 minutos de la entrada al parque natural. Zonas comunes muy agradables. Escogimos este hotel por ser notablemente más económico que los de la zona y siendo algo modesto, las instalaciones son más que suficientes y el servicio es bueno
• June (8/5): Affordable and cozy - You will be welcomed by kind and smiling staff. Warm, yummy and nutritious breakfast!! Timely & quick shuttle transportation offered by the lodge for an affordable price to the falls and the town. Warm, cozy and clean room.
• Lisa (8/5): A Wonderful Friendly Staff! - I had such a wonderful experience. The staff were out-going and very friendly. They greeted each guest by name and made sure that you were well taken care of. The food was fresh, tasty and well presented. As an older solo traveller, they took really good care of me and recommended various activities that I should or should not do in Livingston because of my time constraint!
• Renate (8/5): umsorgt in Afrika - Als zwei alleine reisende Frauen , haben wir uns in der Pamusha Lodge für 3 Tag sehr wohl und auch sicher gefühlt. Zu allen Aktivitäten wurden wir von der Lodge aus gefahren oder Abgeholt .Somit hatten wir entspannte ruhe zwischen all den Erlebnissen um die Victoria Fälle. DANKE
• i did mistake (4/5): Too cheap if you look for international traveler - Young people put 10 more US dollar and get better, adults you must be looser
• Karen (8/5): Very nice and quaint. - Loved the staff, especially Talent. They really catered to us!!
• Verified traveler (8/5): Fabulous honeymoon - Lovely
• Verified traveler (8/5): Nice place to stay - The staff were very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed staying there and would consider going back if we have another opportunity. Everything is well organised. The ordered food was good. The breakfast could be better, but was not bad. Overall a very good experience
