In Africa standards: good

On the whole, place is nice, but the service is a little haphazard: steak was overcooked, when I ordered a glass of red wine, the waiter hesitantly left the whole bottle, the following eveninc I was asked if I wanted ice with it (?). Also the cleaning lady wouldn’t understand I didn’t need cleaning that day and came back three separate times, each time waking me up from much needed sleep (why I had booked myself in to begin with).

Just like an average Holiday Inn.

The hotel says it's 4-star but it's nowhere near that level. It's like an average Holiday Inn - not dirty, but not warm or welcoming beyond the basics. The WiFi is terrible and keeps disconnecting. The staff were incredibly friendly and that made up for the average stay.

We had a drink in the bar before dinner but was not impressed by the standard of cleanliness of the bar. We were told the restaurant opened at 6:30pm, on arrival the restaurant was busy with guests who were dining from a buffet, we assume as we were given no information. No-one greeted us or took us to a table. We waited for a menu and eventually had to ask for ourselves. The quality of the meal we were served was extremely good but the ambience in the restaurant was very poor. The smart casual dress was not observed by the other diners which was disappointing. The general service in the restaurant was poor.

The staff were really wonderful and very accommodating. We arrived late on both evenings that we stayed over and on both occasions the kitchen staff went out of their way to accommodate us. The room was good and clean. The bathroom was acceptable but the shower was disappointing. Zero pressure. Our only concern was that hotels.com and the lodge had a payment issue so we ended up paying twice.
