Arrival was efficient and welcoming, with the bellhop well-prepared and aware of my check-in. However, my assigned suite room was poorly thought out: the living area had no lighting whatsoever, making evening work impossible. Although the reception responded promptly with lamps, the solution exposed further oversight – there was no power socket to plug in the lamp. This necessitated a room change. The second room was better equipped, and I appreciate Olivia for ensuring it met my needs. WiFi quality was good but inconsistent across the room, something remote workers should verify before settling in. Dinner service at the main restaurant was disappointing. After being seated, I waited over 20 minutes without any attention while other tables were repeatedly served. I eventually left and had a far better experience at the coffee shop, where staff were attentive, professional, and welcoming. The room itself felt stuffy and insufficiently deep-cleaned, evidenced by a slipper left under the bed from a previous guest. On my final night, housekeeping staff entered my room while I was still sleeping, despite the door being locked, and left upon realizing it was occupied. During my stay, the Twenty20 Cricket Competition was underway, with two teams lodged at Cresta. Heavy room service usage resulted in food trays and plates frequently left in corridors, creating unpleasant odors. Overall: average. ![A single slipper that I found under my bed left by a previous guest.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/27bf2872-dd33-4d74-b4b5-7316b5a0fd84-1767549679709.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Waking up to someone having entered my room while I was asleep.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/775deecc-b05b-402a-8f36-6c6cad1afe05-1767549678975.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![My initial room with no lighting and no socket for a desk lamp.](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/21094bac-042c-4814-b608-18e63b9931d9-1767549679387.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Emmanuel Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annette Sep 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My stay was relaxing!

Very warmly welcomed by both Grace & Gamuchirai who are delightful. I really enjoyed the restaurant area and the ability to have my breakfast outside beside the bubbling brook was just fantastic. The food was exceptional and I particularly liked the banana yoghurt which I don't see very often in the UK. My room was nice-quite basic that it had all the amenities that I could ask for. Importantly, it was secure and I felt safe. I was in room 137 and note that the lock from the inside was not working so that needs repairing. Lovely shower and very nice shampoos etc The Wi-Fi throughout the hotel is pretty good I would stay here again if I was staying for a short visit but might look for something more rustic such as a large if I was there for longer just so I could experience the African vibe. The shuttle service was excellent Thanks everyone ##### Richard Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Lissette Feb 9, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Clean modern rooms ##### Lissette Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia Dec 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing staff, keep up the training! ##### Julia Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Rutendo Nov 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very good ##### Rutendo Stayed 1 night in Nov 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gaudencia Aug 28, 2025 Good room price ##### Gaudencia Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lennox Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Good stay ##### Lennox Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### peter Apr 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous staff and facilities Great hotel fabulous staff ##### peter Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cosmas Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great location ##### Cosmas Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Jan Oct 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Rooms look a little tired but ok. Garden was not well looked after. (cut trees not completely removed, uncut lawn) I had a beer at the poolbar around 12:45\. Tables were not cleaned. I had lunch at 13:50 at the restaurant. Outside tables were occupied by staff having lunch. Weird. IMHO Cresta Lodge just meets minimum standards. Not better, not worse. ##### Jan Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dorothy Jun 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities An excellent place to stay if you are looking for a quiet, relaxed environment which is not too far from the city. ##### Dorothy Stayed 1 night in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Shivani Jun 23, 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Standards have really dropped.
