Guest Reviews

• Andrew Rawlings (9/5): - Rooms were comfortable, food and drinks at the restaurant were great, and really enjoyed the pools and water slides. Water pressure could be a bit better but I think that's typical in these parts

• Ruffie (10/5): - Kariba Inns has absolutely amazing views. It was relaxing. We enjoyed Waiter service was terrible and breakfast was not good. Limited choice of food. There were two particular waiters, who were so good, unfortunately I didn't get their names, it was a man, short with dread locks and a lady who served us lunch on the day we arrived. Absolutely amazing..

• NICOLE (10/5): - The place is absolutely amazing,exactly as is on the pictures I had an issue with the landline which was never resolved
• Crispin (1/5): Disaster due to their complete incompetence - Nothing because I couldn’t go because I didn’t book for a rave disco rap party but a quiet weekend with a boat ride. They didn’t communicate it was happening , I found out by chance. List 200 plus dollars plus cost of aborted car hire. Thanks guys! Anybody booking here should make sure it’s fully refundable because they don’t tell you the truth. There was a rave party with 300 people with a 3am barbecue they didn’t tell me about and liked when questioned. Made no attempt to rebook to avoid this. Boat trip I booked didn’t exist even though they said is was booked. Don’t use them

• Anna (9/5): - Little paradise, friendly staff, great breakfast and excellent food for dinner. Pools were almost empty all the time so you can have a proper rest. We enjoyed our stay very much. Reception was not big enough, its location wasn’t very convenient
• Zilaya (8/5): It was a peaceful and pleasant stay - Clean , comfortable , good service and food. Not very much except some of the amenities provided could be slightly improved.

• Edwin (6/5): - Property was ok

• Amanda (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jill (10/5): A beautiful Oasis on the lake - We stayed here as a recovery from a road trip around Zambia and it was perfect. They are very customer service oriented. The large open space was perfect for relaxing on the couch with a view of the lake, a snack or sip in the pool. There was always someone around to get you anything you wanted. I’d stay here again.
• Alfred (6/5): A good facility in the middle of nowhere but needing an upgrade and a boost of staff morale - Overall ambience was good Breakfast… very very slow service. Sat and waited till We left without eating.
• Lee (9/5): highly recommend ! i will visit again soon - Everything is wonderful. the breakfast is only the thing i am not happy with.
• Frank (8/5): Love the vibe -
• Lucy (7/5): If you are looking for a quiet place to just relax, it is a good getaway. The view too is amazing. -
• Phenius (1/5): Bad - I am very much disappointed we got 2 rooms room 22&23 in room 23 it was my wife and I and room 22 it was our 2 children. The Aircon in our room was not working we had to use fans but with our kids we don’t encourage them to use Aircon even at home . We checked out and stayed for an hour having a few drinks before departure. As we were about to leave a lady from the reception called my wife to the reception and told there is remote control missing for Aircon in room 22. This angered my wife and I even the kids were shocked with that accusation. Management should put their house in Order because we always travel as a family and such accusations made us feel not wanted at Lake Kariba Inn. We are disappointed as a family .
• Jean (7/5): Good stay at Siavonga - It is located close to the dam and it is quite nice with few swimming pools. Splendid view over the lake. Facilities are old and some things don’t work properly.
• Dominik (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - The reception, customer care ,the food was simply exceptional 👌, they gave us complimentary champagne all thanks to the management All was perfect
• Michael (10/5): - Food was remarkable.
• Kritzinger (5/5): Bathrooms are very dirty, drains were blocked, and water pressure is bad - The location was not bad The rooms and bathrooms were really dirty
• Michael (10/5): - Loved the bed
• Bart (8/5): Very good -
• Sakala (8/5): Very good - Breakfast was great, great facilities, amazing location! The place seems to be understuffed, it takes a while to be served.
• Nylepitha (9/5): Memorable, exciting , relaxing and peaceful - The scenery The food Ambience The boat cruise was not very exiting The kids activities were great No one to supervise the zip line activity Maybe in future lights along the path to the rooms near the gym can be improved
• Chisanga (9/5): Excellent place to be when you want to unwind and enjoy fresh fish - Breakfast had a reasonable selection of foods. I particularly enjoyed the quiche and the omelet. The restaurant has such an amazing atmosphere and the addition of the cafe section just allows more choice of sweet foods. We enjoyed playing sport specifically squash and tennis. The main Pool is to die for The weather. you had to either be in the pool or in the room
• Agness (8/5): Very good - I loved how friendly and accommodating the staff were. The room was very spacious and clean. Their customer service was excellent. Their food was often brought to us cold, I did room service often, and sadly, by the time the food was brought to my room, it was cold.
• Hector (6/5): A good trip. - The infrastructure is good. The cost is a bit on a higher side
• Kay (10/5): - It was a beautiful cosy stay. The food was good with good breakfast choices.
• Chinedu (9/5): Superb -
• Mofya (8/5): Very good -
• Joerg (8/5): Friendly atmoshpere in an extraordiany location - The location of Kariba Inns, the view over the lake, the accommodation and the comfortable bed, food and drinks, the polite staff. Staff could be a little bit more heartfelt; however they were professional. Apart from that, all good in Kariba Inns.
• Verified traveler (6/5): Awesome environment, but the rooms could be better - The pools, restaurants, the general atmosphere is lively and it is a great place to hang out with friends and family. The room was clean but the lighting was very poor, it was and not so comfortable - it was infested with ants. I hope this can be worked on
• Ivor (10/5): Relaxed days with lovely meals to start and finish - Quite refined comfort in a nice setting. Nothing
• Christine (4/5): Disappointing -
• Sheryl (8/5): Definitely stay here! - Beautiful hotel overlooking Lake Kariba. Facilities have been updated. Gorgeous pool with lounge chairs!
• Elisabeth (8/5): Very good -
• Nadia (4/5): Disappointing -
• Anna (10/5): - The view is amazing from the terrace, nice walk down to the lake. Food was excellent, not to mention good coffee and friendly service at the restaurant. Room was nice, quiet and functional. Only challenge that I faced was quite a lot of ants both in my room as well as at the terrace and by the pool. Road on the last mile is quite terrible, but then you feel like being far away from everything. All in all I enjoyed my long weekend stay and hope to come back.
• Ahmed (10/5): Exceptional -
• Yosh (9/5): Superb - Room services and the location. Well received by the receptionist Zesco power outages.
• Zulu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Muzumbwe (8/5): Very good -
• David (10/5): Outstanding getaway. - Amazing feel to the place, like the entire resort had been designed by someone who is really experienced with hospitality. We had a private pool by our room but it was sludgy at the bottom and also colder than the other pools, so nobody used it.
• Stig (8/5): Very good -
• Khosa (6/5): Pleasant - Breakfast was OK though it could be better. The food was horrible,the chips always black and the nshima not well prepared..
• James (10/5): - Nice place to visit. The boat ride on Lake Kariba is nice. Very friendly employees.
• Gavin (4/5): Unexpected renovations! - Unfortunately the Hotel is currently busy with renovations which we were not informed about when booking. First allocated room was cramped and noisy as workers were busy with angle grinding close by. Staff kindly relocated us to a nicer room further away. The views from the restaurant are spectacular but again noisy due to renovations during the day. Restaurant staff are to be commended (special mention goes to Erikson). Housekeeping needs to pay more attention. We eventually booked out a day early. I'm sure when renovations are complete the hotel will be stunning. But would avoid for now.
• Charlotte (10/5): - We had a fantastic stay at Lake Kariba Inns. The setting was beautiful and the food was delicious. We had full body massages whilst there and went on a boat trip - all at a great value price. Staff were friendly and helpful, although could be a little slow when ordering/serving evening meals. When we checked out, the reception staff offered to call a bus to the hotel to take us back to Lusaka. When they were not able to get through to a bus driver, they had one of their own drivers take us to the market place to catch the bus - free of charge. Excellent service! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and hope to visit again soon.
• Verified traveler (8/5): - The only thing that was detrimental was that they did not tell us there was construction 2 doors down. We booked the villa for privacy and had workman looking at us. There should have been a warning when we booked.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Breakfast set up,food choice, rooms, amenities,facilities
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Really enjoyed our stay. Great food and staff. We will be back again.
• Monica (8/5): - Lovely place with a tranquil environment. Staff were great and helpful. The room was okay, just dusty, towels were a bit dump. Overall experience was great!
