First night I stayed in the 6 bed dorm was so hot, and the fan didnâ€™t work well. Room was so small was like a hot sauna and was eaten to death my mosquitos . Asked to switch dorms and the ten bed was a bit better but fans still Broken and donâ€™t turn. Bathrooms are dirty and full of bugs. No hand soap. Pool was kinda dirty but nice and cold. The only good thing about this place is the nice lady checking you in/out working in the office and the dogs/cats on the property.

We were in Masasa # 12. The room was extremely small and very hot and an unpleasant smell was coming from the drains. Common areas were cool and comfortable and the food was good. The quality of the room plus the outrageous costs of activities in Victoria Falls, not to mention being approached by craft sellers every 50 feet, was enough to make us cancel the second night we had booked and move on early to our next destination. Thankfully, the accommodating staff refunded most of our money.

It's expensive for what you get - but there's good food, good vibes and cool staff here, it's not a bad place to stay for a couple of nights.
