    The location requires a taxi however it also means its very quiet and peaceful so i didn’t mind getting a taxi to town.

    The property is beautiful, traditional thatch cottages set in gorgeous gardens. My executive suite was roomy, comfortable, nicely decorated and clean. The real highlight for me was the staff, I left with several new friends. As a solo female, I was well looked after.

    Inviting pool in beautiful gardens. It is like being in a small oasis in the desert if you sit at the pool sipping drinks. Staff was fantastic to assist with selecting and booking activities. Good breakfast

    No complaints at all

    Bayete Lodge was a great stop for our trip to Zimbabwe and it's in a good location. All the staff were so polite, welcoming and helpful. The food was fantastic. Breakfast was opened earlier than scheduled on several mornings when guests had early pick ups and they vary the hot specials offered every other day which was nice. We also had dinner at the hotel which was very good. The rooms were very clean and spacious. Thoroughly recommend it.

    I needed a couple of days of pampered comfort after 10 days camping in the bush and Bayete provided that. I loved the tropical garden and swimming pool. My bed was enormous and comfortable. The ensuite bathroom was nice and big with a good shower although I was slightly disconcerted by the windows looking out to a back area with a tank. There was a blind you could pull down but these were the only windows providing natural light. There were no windows in the bedroom and not much room around the bed and limited space for clothes. There were tea & coffee making facilities. No TV but I didn’t mind. It was not really a room for hanging out in but the gardens were so lovely with sitting nooks that I was happy to relax outside. I had 2 excellent breakfasts and a good dinner. The staff were unfailingly polite, welcoming and helpful and provided excellent service.

    They charged 17USD per person for a pick up from the airport which is about double the local rate. They charged 3% on credit cards which is too high.

    At first sight the Lodge looks a little basic, but I grew into it and found it very comfortable with everything that I wanted readily to hand. The room was pretty good with mosquito nets round the bed. The bathroom was ok but basic. The breakfast was very good, eggs cooked to order, good size portions. We ate there one night and it was fine but a bit overpriced. Staff were excellent

    Wifi Codes expire after 2 days which of course will happen at inconvenient times. Internet could be faster but that's a general issue of the area, not of this property alone.

    The charm of the staff and the place itself is beyond. The moment you arrive all your woes and worries are forgotten. Neatly cured by a lovely staff and with a million details to discover this is the perfect place to recharge you batteries. Amazing garden and great restaurant!

    The room was beautiful and the customer service was exceptional. It is a safe 30 minute walk to town, or short taxi ride. There is a convenience store and restaurant very close by. Other reviews mentioned negatives such as no fridges or tvs in the rooms but these are intentional decisions by the lodge to encourage guests to spend time outside of their rooms enjoying the tranquil gardens, pool and bar. The decision to provide pitchers of filtered water in place of single use plastic bottles is also intentional. A wonderful experience, special mention to Clive and Charles for the extra effort in food and bev.

    The ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of city life! Our family of five thoroughly enjoyed the serene and tranquil atmosphere of the lodge. The staff were outstanding—warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. The gardens and grounds were impeccably maintained, creating a picturesque setting. The meals were exceptional, the rooms were spacious and perfectly suited to our needs, and the lodge's location was conveniently close to all the attractions.
