- Patricia (1/5): Do not stay here - Located close to the Masvingo road. The bed was big and comfortable. This place appears to be used for day guests/ hourly guests. We stayed as a family for a night. We had arrived late in the night and needed to stay near the A4, Masvingo road. Condoms were advertised by reception staff and sold at reception. The bathroom in one of the bedrooms was disgusting, we had to shower wearing our slippers. There was no hot water to shower with and the water pressure was poor.

- Science (9/5): Superb -
- Memory (2/5): Not enjoyable at all - Bar should at least close at 9pm to allow the guest to rest. My two nights were restless due to noise that went on till the early hours of the next morning. I felt like l threw my money into a drain as l did not get the full rest l needed.
- Petronella (3/5): Poor - The area is very noisy as early as 6am there were workers within thee vicinity making lots of noise, thus disturbing our sleep

Provide enough equipment for guests
