Beautiful architecture and excellent customer service. Menu and pricing can be updated a bit to get the hotel to a five star rating. ie. no wine menu, instant coffee to barista made coffee. Very minor cosmetic changes to make the last mile. ##### Nyasha Stayed 1 night in Jan 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Stephen Aug 17, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing architecture! Impressive-looking! This lodge is amazing. If you were to build a castle in Africa, it would be like this. This establishment is on the scale of European castles but in an African style - made to mimic the nearby Great Zimbabwe ruins. The architecture is impressive with its high ceilings and everything on a grand scale, with many stone walls built among the boulders that are characteristic for this part of the country. Even the individual rooms are palatial in size. We chose to eat dinner at the lodge's restaurant on the night we stayed there. It was a bit pricey but in line with what you would pay at a higher-end lodge like this. However, the atmosphere of the restaurant was a bit awkward. It was in a huge room, and our family wasn't sure if we should engage in conversation because the atmosphere felt like we had to be hushed. The service was excellent, but the wait staff hovered in the corner and watched us while we ate - kind of creepy and part of why we didn't want to talk much (we felt like they were listening to everything we said). The general manager greeting us a couple times and wanting to engage in conversation was a bit too much and added to the creepiness factor of the staff here. This place has great amenities and spaces - a swimming pool, indoor and outdoor bar areas for watching the sunset, seating areas inside and outside in the rooms. The only thing lacking seemed to be the choice of stations on the TV. ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Johannes Dec 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Great location, great architecture, spacious rooms, good food, some of the amenities look a bit tired, but overall to be recommended. ##### Johannes ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 22, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Spectacular This was my second stay at The Lodge at The Ancient City - I returned because I found the location and facilities spectacular. Service was friendly and food was also tremendous this time - as a vegetarian, my preferences were taken care of. I will return again and highly recommend this wonderful lodge! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Apr 9, 2021 Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities The lodges are unique with a great potential to recover when Covid 19 goes down. I didn't like the fact that paying residents were kicked out because there was an outside Birthday on Saturday and the noise was terrible. The amenities paying residents were supposed to stay by the pool side was reserved for a noisy outside Birthday Party. The meals could have been better especially for vegans when the lodge were informed about the person. Best not to go for full-board because the meals didn't match the price being paid ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chief Mar 17, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved everything about the property especially when it rained ##### Chief Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Mar 8, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Disliked: Amenities What an amazing place!!! Food is really good, rooms and beds are very comfortable and set in a beautiful location with some stunning architecture. Two problems though, their location on google maps is incorrect and it was a struggle to find the property. They need to update the property address. Also, I had no hot water!! Not good. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gunther, Australia Jan 20, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a great experience!

The rooms are exceptionally clean and so refreshing! Beautiful views, trees and relaxing atmosphere. However, the food was underwhelming. Not much variety on the menu. A little bit of planning from the chef and seasoning can transform their meals. The drinks and meals are overpriced. ##### Rumbi Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jan 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Inget vatten i toaletterna/dusch.

I would totally recommended. The only problem is that the confirmation email you get and even the address received will send you to some place near the Polithecnic Institute of Maswingo when, in reality, the Lodge is quite far from that, near the Ancient City. ##### Diogo Stayed 1 night in Nov 2019 ### 4/10 Poor #### Michael Oct 28, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Overbooking fiasco I was booked at the Lodge at the Ancient City and paid for my booking, but I was later informed that the booking could not be honored due to overbooking. We were placed in a nearby hotel in Masvingo, but the condition of that hotel was nowhere near the accommodation we would have enjoyed at the Lodge. We ended up overpaying for a bad hotel because the Lodge at the Ancient City overbooked. We paid for the Lodge. We got a crummy hotel in Masvingo.The Lodge did give us a free meal and tried to make it right, but we still had three nights in a very undesirable hotel at the cost of the Lodge at the Ancient City. Unsatisfied. I was pleased they attempted to make it right, but I wanted what I paid for. The Lodge is very nice. ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Sep 11, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing settind and rooms simply stunning.
