    I recently stayed at a lovely property in Lusaka and had a great experience. The atmosphere at the place made me feel right at home and the staff were friendly and accommodating. I particularly enjoyed the swimming pool and the beautiful garden where they grow vegetables for their in-house food menu. The location was also convenient, as it was just a short walk to the nearby mall. I highly recommend this affordable and charming place for anyone visiting Lusaka.

    This hotel is a hidden gem in a beautiful leafy garden. The location, on the edge of the city, provides a peaceful atmosphere away from the hustle and bustle. The rooms are comfortable and clean, with nice touches like chic bedding and a refreshing fan. The staff is friendly and attentive, providing great service. The breakfast, although limited, includes delicious eggs. It offers great value for the money.

    Nothing stands out as needing improvement.

    The food was delicious and the staff members were very helpful during our stay. We particularly appreciated the free Wi-Fi and the complimentary breakfast. The location was also great, with easy access to local sights and activities. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and we enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere.

    The power outages were a bit of an inconvenience and we struggled to take hot showers at times. we experienced some confusion during the checkout process, which took longer than expected.

    This lodge is conveniently located near a shopping center for any supplies you may need. the room is spacious and well-maintained, with comfortable bedding. the bathroom is clean and tidy with all necessary amenities. the staff is helpful in every way whether it be in providing information or offering room service for a delicious breakfast. the lounge area is a great place to relax and unwind, and the outdoor pool is a refreshing respite from the heat.

    The only downside to this lodge is that the Wi-Fi signal is sometimes weak and unreliable in certain areas of the property.

    Walking distance to malls, clean hotel, and hospitable staff. This city was made even better by this hotel. We loved being able to easily access two major malls on foot, while staying in a well-maintained and spotless hotel. The staff was very welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived.

    Nothing, all excellent. We couldn't find anything to fault at this hotel.

    My stay at Natwange in Lusaka was wonderful! I stayed for a few days and it was the perfect solution for my needs. The manager, Anita, was incredibly helpful and friendly. The grounds and neighborhood were peaceful, except for one night when there was a party next door after a football win. The property has a beautiful garden and a cool workspace for late-night work. The free Wi-Fi and breakfast were great perks. The interior architecture was impressive, and the staff, including the owner, were attentive and easy to talk to. Natwange Backpackers is simple yet amazing, and I'd highly recommend it to others.

    Recommend this hotel.

    This hidden gem was truly a lovely oasis. the staff were extremely helpful and friendly, making our stay memorable. the food was simply amazing, and the location couldn't be any better. We were just a short walk away from a shopping center and a fantastic cafe. We felt safe at all times due to the 24/7 security. the complimentary breakfast was also a great way to start our day.

    the dorm room setup was a bit odd, requiring us to pass through another room to get to our own.
