- Thokozani (1/5): -
- Hilda (3/5): My experience at Zimbali Lodge. - The staff was friendly. The room we stayed in was dirty. We found a sweets paper probably from the previous guest. We also saw a cockroach in the bathroom. Also between the pillows I found a piece of braid, probably also from the previous guest as I did not have any braids done on me. This tells me that the bed was never changed. My stay was not a pleasant one at all.
- nicolene (4/5): - The staff were incredible and friendly. They did their best to assist us with every need. The resturant had good wine at good prices, and the art is stunning. The rooms were equipped with Ricoffee and only one tea bag, no milk and clean water was provided. The TV remote did not work in one room and in our room the TV channels switched off and the only channel working was soccer. This venue may at one point have been 4 stars, but sadly it is no longer.

- Dinah (9/5): - The room 'pent house' we where a located and the food from the restaurant The room needs a thorough cleaning (wood and brass polish, carpet needs to be cleaned to reveal real colour. Need to dust properly and clean the patio. We had to ask for house keeping to come Clean up the patio. It was visible that it has not been cleaned or used for a while. 'Gogo' is too beautiful not to be properly cleaned. Room. 1 bed needs to replaced, it has lost its strength and mattress is a uneven. The blankets and cushions needs to washed to smell fresh. A microwave will also do to warm food. The toilet needs to smell better (check the
drain)

There was no information about the lodge or facilities in the room. No information regarding the WiFi
The water pressure was ok, could use more and a bigger showerhead.
There was a pressure pump next to my room that was running most of the night that was not enjoyable.
Extremely limited TV Channels and no Smart TV which is not on par for a 4 Star property.

- Mhlanga (10/5): Exceptional - Well organized establishment, the receptionist attends to phone calls and sponsors ideas.
- Umoja (8/5): Very good -
- Charlotte (7/5): Ok for the price and purpose - We chose the Lodge for a stopover on our way to Johannesburg. It was perfect for the purpose, as it had it's own restaurant. The staff was very friendly and helpful! The decor in the restaurant was remarkably thought through and the food was very good. The rooms were pretty cheap and the location was perfect for travelling to Johannesburg airport the next day.
You can tell that a lot of effort has gone into the design of the lodge. The sheets and Beeding could have been better maintained as they had holes and all in all seen better days. The room was relatively small, but the bathroom on the other hand was huge, though. The shower had very little water coming out which made it hard to wash your hair.
- Nomvula (1/5): The staff was friendly, but the room was a nightmare—filthy, smelly, and in terrible condition. Despite the staff's - The staff was friendly and did their best to resolve what was within their control. The room was dirty, and it had a very strong, unpleasant smell. The bedding was filthy, and the small blanket we were given had even changed color. Yoh! The property is just a mess. 😫
- Kgomotso (6/5): I would book again. - The location is perfect, but the WiFi was not working when we were there. The TV worked the first night but the remote did not. On the second night the TV worked, but signal was lost for some reason and there wasn't any visible weather interference.
Besides those points the stay was enjoyable with friendly staff and comfortable beds. - TV remote did not work.
- WiFi did not work.
- Mpumelelo (7/5): Decent - Facility and braai area Poor wifi
- Wiseman (10/5): We had a splendid stay!!! - The place was very heat and comfy. None
- Mehluli (10/5): Exceptional -
- Miles (8/5): Very good -
- Cebsi (8/5): Very good -
