2-Star Hotels in Matabeleland North, Zimbabwe

Great, no nonsense hotel. Centrally located. Awesome bars and restaurants within the walking distance. Perfect for visiting the falls for both Zimbabwe and Zambia side.

You can walk from the Zambia-Zimbabwe border! It was a great hotel in this area, reasonably priced, clean, and had a hot shower! Although I didn't use it, there was a restaurant and pool in the hotel, and a supermarket nearby!

We stayed at Lulu Lodge in order to visit Victoria Falls as part of a longer trip to Africa. When we arrived at the airport, John was ready and waiting to pick us up and transfer us to the lodge. He was friendly and welcoming. Our room was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We had breakfast each day on the shady stoep outside our room, and all the staff were kind and courteous. We particularly enjoyed a dip in the hotel pool, which is clean and pleasantly shaded in the hottest part of the day. We deliberately chose an independent hotel rather than a large corporate one. We wanted to see more of the real Zimbabwe rather than being shielded behind am expensive facade. Some elements of our stay revealed a tight budget for the owners: the minibus had seen better days, and had no air-conditioning, and the shower was a bit temperamental, but this was easily offset by the willingness of John and his staff to show us the places and share the experiences we had wanted to see. He took us to the Victoria Falls, showed us the beautiful Lookout Cafe, which we probably would not have found by ourselves, ferried us into town for lunch and shops, and arranged an elephant ride which was an absolute joy! The elephants were free to roam over an extensive area as part of a conservation project, and we were delighted to have a 7 month old baby tag along with. her mother as we rode. John also took us to a local school where we were able to see students who truly valued their opportunity to have a proper education at a manageable price. We hope to return to Lulu Lodge within the next two years. Thank you, John, Tom and Honest.

What a wonderful place to stay. The staff were super friendly and service excellence was shown at all times. Only remark I want to leave is that a kettle in the lodge would be nice.

The Hostel grounds themselves and the tent was very clean. We just did not realize that by booking a “double room” that it was actually a tent. The provided fan was nice and kept us cool in the evening and pool kept us clean during the day. The location though is a bit outside of the town center though so you either need a car or to call a taxi to get anywhere. The restaurant onsite was okay, but it wasn’t explained to us that occasionally they have a special BBQ and you can’t order anything else from the menu. If we knew that at the time, we would have stopped at the market and self catered. But the staff was all lovely and helpful.

Staffs are nice. Clean room.

The owner and his family were very helpful. Transfer from and to the airport was perfectly organized. The lodge is newly built and everything is very clean. We always felt safe in the lodge. We were brought to restaurants for dinner and picked up after. Finally our host took us to various nice and interesting places in Vic Falls. We learned a lot about life in Simbabwe.

Красивый новый лодж и ухоженной территорией. Персонал очень старается, мужу спели восхитительную африканскую песню ко дню рождения. Каждый час в течение дня есть развозка от/до водопада. Помогают с организацией вертолетных экскурсий. Очень вкусное вечернее меню. Завтраки тоже отличные.
