    The property is lovely if you’re looking for a night in Lusaka while traveling. The service is really good and the food was decent. It’s lovely to have the freedom to walk around the golf course too.

    Staff want to get personal, like asking names when serving. This is un necessary and repulsive. What's their interest in my name and the service they offer. Specifically, a tall gentleman in the restaurant

    Exclusivity is clear 👌

    The nshima was not naturally cooked. it was pathetic. It appears you use machines for cooking. The bar closes too early even at the brewery.

    The breakfast was ok but you can do better.

    The room was spacious and clean. However, the food needs significant improvement. While there was a variety of choices, the quality and taste were not satisfactory for us. We preferred to eat at Brewer

    The restaurant food wasn't so great, more so the breakfast. Also customers were given limited options and misaligned meal tags. Additionally staff seemed to have preference for foreign guests over equal local paying guests.

    Housekeeping and reception took long to respond to our calls and requests.

    Breakfast was really good. Housekeeping was barely present, the phone mostly went unanswered when we needed them. Otherwise, it was a great stay we had.

    Email communications through booking.com were non-existent. I had to contact head office to get a response after weeks of chasing through booking.com There's no email option on their website. Only a telephone number. Unless you contact head office via social media and ask foe an email of the hotel direct, you won't be able to email them. I booked airport collection weeks inn advance but no one turned up. We were given a terrible, flimsy excuse. " the driver went at 6.30 but you weren't there". Our flight didn't land until 8.30 as clearly stated in my communications when booking the airport transfers which had been confirmed in writing. Ended up taking a taxi from the airport (make sure to take one with an official Airport taxi badge and high-vis jacket). This will also cost you about a third of what the hotel charges. A la carte dinner took FOREVER to be served. We waited 45 minutes for a starter to appear. 25 minutes to get a bottle of water and a glass of wine. That's way too long to make customers wait, especially those that have been travelling for 36 hours to get to get you. I emailed 3 days before arriving to request a massage slot. No response. So when we arrived, no massage available. Very shoddy communication for a hotel of this standard.

    Room was nice, quiet and clean. Breakfast was great as it was self service. A great choice of food. Brilliant swimming pool . Great location near airport.

    The room was smelly and needs some general maintenance. The door handle was not working well. I think for the price, the quality of the finishes in the room and the overall room experience should have been better.

    The outdoor. It is so green and relaxing.
