"99% of the time no internet connection, no electricity most of the time, unable to charge phones or access internet. Amenities were below standard. Kinda disappointed "
" The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home. They took the time to stop and chat, genuinely caring about my experience. It was refreshing to have them check in and offer assistance before I even had to ask. If you’re looking for a welcoming atmosphere and top-notch service, this is the place to be."
"If only they could have microwaves to warm take away foods, kettles to boil water to make tea or coffee They also have to fumigate their apartments, there are alot of cockroaches. Security looks slack as the outside is umanned and always open even with noone on the reception, intruders or assailants can easily walk in and ravage the holidaymakers willy nilly and walk out unnoticed "
A verified traveller stayed at Bulawayo Central Lodge
"Staying at the Rainbow has evolved into a cherished family tradition for us, as we have visited several times since 2018. The hospitality provided by the staff, particularly Diane and Tsitsi, has consistently made us feel as if we were returning to a welcoming family home. Their unwavering support and kindness have always ensured our comfort and well-being.
Additionally, the dining experience at the Rainbow is exceptional, characterized by flavorful and thoughtfully prepared dishes. We had the privilege of celebrating our daughter's wedding at this venue, and every aspect of the event exceeded our expectations.
I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to my friends and family, confident that they will receive the same high level of care and attention."
A verified traveller from Rialto stayed at Bulawayo Rainbow Hotel
"The location is in the very centre of Bulawayo, with walking distance to both the Art Gallery (10 min) and The Natural History Museum (15 min). There are plenty of fast-food and restaurant options within minutes by foot from the hotel. Also, very easy to arrange pick-up/drop-off at the hotel as all tour operators doing excursions to Khami ruins, Great Zimbabwe ruins and Matobo NP know it.
The Selborne Hotel is clean, neat and I recommend it. Excellent location and very helpful staff.
Some details in my room would need an update, but all in all a really pleasant stay!"
"Excellent old colonial hotel run by wonderful, professional and very approachable staff. Nothing was too much trouble for anyone. Very warm welcome which remained throughout my 5 day stay. A unique experience with the wonderful old gentlemens club with lots of rooms of rooms to explore topped off with wonderful staff."
