The shower wasnt functioning properly, mixing cold and hot water was a huge task, and there was no hot water in the last 2 days of my stay. I guess the issue of power needs a better back up plan to ensure the comfort of residents. Modernising the showers to a single mixer would be helpful to balance hit and cold water

Great stay, great staff
They stay was great. We had to wait a bit for our room to be ready at check in, the lady at reception was fine. The two gentleman at reception were very good, even helped us organize tours and excursions. Location good, about 45min walk to the center, but had to take a taxi after dark for safety. Room was very nice and clean, WiFi worked good.

Great price for a great space & impeccable service
One of my sisters stayed at Motsamai last year and she couldn’t stop raving about it. I discovered for myself that she wasn’t exaggerating her glowing reviews! It was super clean and comfortable, with a modern feel and serious bang for your buck. I really liked the double sink in the bathroom, as well as the general design of the bathroom. The water pressure in the shower was perfect, and it didn’t take long for the water to heat up. I could have slept all day in that bed, with its warm blankets and plush pillows. The WiFi connection was really strong (something not to be taken for granted!). The kitchen staff graciously accommodated our request for breakfast, at a time when most hotels would have stopped serving that meal! We would have stayed longer if not for the lodge being booked out for the week for a conference! I highly recommend Motsamai, and hope to return someday!

We had a pleasant stay and enjoyed the breakfast especially the mushroom. Thanks to sekuru he cooks delicious dishes. We just lacked some cooling in the room as there's no fan or air conditioning because sometimes it was really hot. Other than that everything was fantastic. We will surely come again.

The place to stay while in Bulawayo!
This is a neat and well maintained guest lodge. The grounds and ambiance of this place were delightful day and night. My room was always clean and comfortable with daily maintenance. Hotel staff was friendly, helpful and hospitable. The food although tasty and well prepared lacked variety during my 13 night stay. Thanks to everyone at Motsamai for making my stay a delight.

Quiet & scenic garden hotel with a dedicated staff
Upon arrival the desk clerk was asking for me among our group of 22, since I had booked from home. The room was available in a matter of minutes. Any request during our stay was handled with much haste and a pleasant smile from all staff. The room cleaning staff during the day took every effort to ensure a spotless environment. The staff always seemed to be willing to assist in any matter, and will literally run to complete their task.

Lovely hotel with incredibly helpful staff
The hotel is fairly centrally located (a short taxi ride from the town centre) but set in a relaxed green space which separates you from any busy-ness outside. The staff are very helpful and friendly; talk through your plans for your stay in Bulawayo with them and they'll probably be able to suggest additional places and activities you haven't thought of before. The rooms are very well sized with comfortable ensuites (shower, bath, etc) and lots of natural light. Thoroughly recommended.
