    Shower pressure could be better

    Gloria’s was a great find. We loved staying here. What really set the place apart was the hospitality. I want to give a special shoutout to the staff and especially Vanessa for treating us so well. The rooms were clean, the value was perfect and we felt comfortable at the location.

    Glass slidding door could be tinted to ensure privacy, especially since it is facing the gate. Windows can either be tinted or put lace curtains. If you are relaxing, you want to be nude without offending others. Also, some rails for drying bath towels and underwears would help.

    The area is peaceful and feels safe. The property yard is well maintained with excellent garden. Rooms are spacious. Staff is amazing.

    Breakfast was exceptional, especially dining at the pool area. You can also eat at or in your room. Even if you book the self-catering apt - breakfast is stil included. Pool was perfect with deck chairs and gardens. Gloria is a great owner host with a wonderful team that makes you feel at home. Ask Gloria about the 1-3 day tour package that you can book before you check in. That tour recommendation of a local tour outfit (ask for Martin) made sure we had the best of Zambia - which included airport pick up and drop off even into Zimbabwe.

    The only thing that could make the stay better is making sure there is Nescafe (not the decaf kind) in the rooms every day. But this is a very small thing that I could have easily asked for, so that's also on me!

    My friend and I really enjoyed our stay at Gloria's! The only problem was related to Zesco and power, which of course they can't control. I would definitely recommend staying here. Ask the staff (I don't want to share her name for privacy reasons) for a fairly priced ride to Vic Falls! Town is within walking distance. There was consistently hot water and the beds were comfy. Clean, too!

    The mattress for the cot was too old and sank in very low almost cupping the baby.

    Gloria always came to check on us every morning during breakfast. Her staff were friendly and engaging. They even provided a cot and bath for our 6month old baby. The breakfast was delicious.

    Very attentive and friendly staff, Gloria can even help with organizing tours as she has a long-grown network. We had help for a few activities, where she made calls for us and helped us with the price as well. The pool is nice, breakfast good, rooms with AC really nice. Location quiet and good with about 15 walking minutes from shops and main bus station, no taxi needed.

    It said dinner ( evening meal) could be arranged but this was not the case. Meal deliveries were an option from town. There are great restaurants in town which they told us about & we checked out 🤩 Walking in and out is a possibility … but not for us in the heat. Taxis are everywhere and very cheap to take you in and bring you home …. so this is a GREAT option which we recommend.

    The quick response to my communication. Very very lovely owner and daughter who were very helpful and had great suggestions. We were leaving before the allocated start of breakfast (included) so they made us sandwiches the night before ….. they were amazingly delicious 🤩 Good security with a nightwatchman. Quiet - so a good nights sleep. They are plagued with national power outages but had overcome this obstacle by providing fans and lighting for when this occurred. Excellent value for money

    Load shedding but the solar power aided.

    Gloria and her entire team were excellent and they attended to all our requests unconditionally. They went all out to make sure we're safe, happy and their breakfast was always delicious and it will not be a bad idea to add some variety to the breakfast menu.
