Comfortable
Posted 10 Nov 2019 on HotelsAmazing area of Zimbabwe. Lodges comfortable, but need updates, bathroom was dated and shower extremely small and narrow, as water is an issue perhaps get rid of the bath and enlarge the shower. Tiles and bathroom floor need a good scrub - we had mould.. beds were comfortable, and it would have been nice to have seating outside our lodge to take in the views. Overall an enjoyable stay and the food was excellent. all cooked on open fires the chef is amazingly talented considering he has to work with the vagaries of a fire and not temp controlled oven/ hob!.the swimming pool could also do with a clean/scrub, the floor was slimy but welcome after a hot afternoon drive and walk. Communal toilets near bar and dining area need to have soap provided. Small details which management need to pick up on. Staff attentive and welcoming. We would still recommend

Hi Sharon,
Thank you for the very honest review. We really appreciate the constructive criticism. We did our inspections and our housekeeping and maintenance has been doing thorough scrubs and checks to that effect in bathrooms and pool.
Management has taken note on the pointers regarding size of the bathroom and a seating area for relaxing purposes.
I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed the food from our Chef Michael. He really is a gem in the kitchen.
Thank you so much for the recommendation. We do hope to see you again in future!
Best Wishes

Visit to Matopos Hills Lodge
Posted 27 Jun 2017
Pros: Attention to detail from all the staff. All the staff are so friendly and cant do enough for you. Bertha was so helpful in making the booking.
Cons: A TV in the Bar area would be good.
Location: Rhodes Grave, Rhino trekking.
Slightly unsure about visiting Zim - however, what a great country, fantastic people and the guys at the Lodge were nothing short than amazing. The Lodge is set in the hills within the National Park. A stone's through away from Rhode's Grave, and White Rhino. Breath taking scenery!

a beautiful lodge in a simply magnificent location
Posted 6 Mar 2017
Pros: the staff, the location, the ambience, the pool, the rooms and the food - everything!
Cons: nothing, in our experience
Location: the Matobo hills is an area of incredible beauty. One can go on amazing walks or game drives or just lie by the pool or on a rock.
The Matobo Hills Lodge is a place of absolute serenity and beauty. The lodge is designed to completely blend with the environment in such a way that you do not feel that you are intruding in an area of natural beauty. The staff were helpful and friendly from the start and could not do enough to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. We cannot recommend this lodge highly enough.

Great Lodge
Posted 21 Dec 2016Would recommend this lodge to everyone. We had one night with fantastic service, a great room and dinner under the stars. We did an afternoon safari and walked with Rhinos which was an unbelievable experience.

Enjoyable stay among granite boulders
Posted 17 Jul 2016 on HotelsWe stayed for 3 nights at Matobo Hills Lodge and we had overall a great experience. The location was very good inside Matopos National Park, well marked from the main road and convenient for visiting Rhodes' grave and the caves in the area. The lodge and cabins are spread among granite boulders making for a great first impression. They even have marked 3 hiking trails on their grounds that take you to some nice spots. Slightly less positive was the food - breakfasts were great however dinner was hit and miss with meat being sometimes overcooked and too salty. The room (which had a great view) could also use a bit more cleaning specifically the drapes which were quite dirty. Also the towels had a musty smell.
