Verified reviewvery good

We enjoyed our stay at the lodge. The place is very quiet and peaceful. The breakfast was nice, hot and never late. I appreciated the fact that management was very quick in problem solving because we had issues with hot water on the room that we initially booked but she quickly arranged another room for us which there was hot water available and problem was solved. The only disadvantage about the room we moved to, was the fact that we could hear the other couple talking/urging and i'm pretty sure they must have heard us too. Therefore, sound proof is a problem on Zambesi room unlike the Timbivati room that we booked which was privately on the ground floor. Thanks to the staff, they were friendly and helpful too. Thanks to Eleanor (The manager) who was very friendly and very quick in response whenever you have questions about the place, she would promptly respond to emails. NB!! Kindly improve on the cleanliness of the place (By the sink and Shower), I believe it can be better than how we found it (Zambesi suite). Thank you kindly

Very welcoming and hospitable staff. Breakfast was good. Good view of the dam. Need to improve sound proof and wooden floor noise in the upper rooms. Improve toilet privacy/ door that closes completely and new towels.

The lodge is a small heaven. The place is peaceful it feels as if you are the only guests. We had the pool to ourselves in the morning, afternoon and in the evening. The highlight of the stay has to be the picnic basket that was prepared for us and we enjoyed the picnic by the lake.

Had an amazing stay. Eleanor is by far the best hostess in Kosmos. Warm smile, interest in the well-being of the clients, well prepared food and good insight about the life and what makes couples enjoy life's moments.
