Do not go there!

The lodge was a disappointment. Upon arrival, we discovered that our room lacked toilet paper, requiring us to request some. They do not provide water either. The pillows were dirty and smelly, and the headboard was filthy. Additionally, the toilet was missing a seat. Although they offered to change our room to a similar one, the overall service was poor; for instance, ordering French fries took more than an hour.

Sub-Backpacker Standard without Service

Staying at Highlands Loges was a dismal experience. The photos shown online do not reflect the actually dilapidated state of the property, nor do they prepare you to find a sub-backpacker standard. The room is cramped and rather provides a fridge that stands in front of the only mirror than amenities or coffee station. Doors, Floors, Toilet and windows have been "renovated" in a rush and you cannot find a single plug in the walls. For our 4 day stay we were supposed to last with one small towel and one roll of 1-ply recycled toilet paper. The shower and bath only had cold water except for the last day and the toilet seat was visibly broken, but never fixed. No amenities whatsoever and although told there is a 24 hour reception by dialing '20', there was never an answer. The manager was never present at the premises. The remote for the gate had a flat battery and was tied to the key with a wire that cut into pockets and clothing. The internet is intermittent and so slow that one can hardly visit any website. The TV was broken and not fixed. The epitome of dissatisfaction can be found in the 'breakfast', which consist of instant coffee, milk powder, jam and margarine, toast, 1 egg and beans. No cereals, no milk, no fruit, yoghurt or anything. A rasher of bacon and a sausage cost USD 5 extra!!!! There is no service, all is placed outside on a window sill (!!). We can only warn any traveller that this a complete rip-off and the establishment should be closed down!

Lovely hosts

Unfortunately was not able to sty at the place because the other clients extended their stay at the time i was meant to arrive, but the couple that run the place helped me find another place to stay at no extra charge, rare type of service in Zim! Some of the rooms are under renovation but i would certainly recommend the place based on the rooms i saw!

Serene spot that fits your budget

I had planned to stay longer but had to travel after 3 days. Overall the place was excellent and exceeded my expectations. I am definitely coming back. Tip..talk to the staff and ask for recommendations on food, moving around and other local knowledge that will make your stay fun.
