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.

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.

Breakfast was great, happy with all the meals we ate at Bayete lodge.

Nothing we didn't like. we had a wonderful stay at Bayete

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

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.

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.

No complaints at all

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!

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.

We were upgraded to the Nkosi Guest Lodge, because they were doing maintenance work at Bayern. The location and property was great. The staff was very accommodating, helping us to book all of our tours, and getting transportation for us when we needed it. We ate dinner on the property one night and it was delicious - highly recommend.

I traveled with friends and there was a little inconsistency in some small things (receiving a wash cloth, certain amenities in the rooms), but nothing big. Anything that we needed was provided.

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.

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.

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

My favorite place in Zimbabwe by far! From arrival to check out was a wonderful experience. It felt like home. Each staff member was friendly and accommodating. I'm trying to remember all the names of the staff that made our stay wonderful. The gentleman who helped us to check in. The gentleman who walked with us to our accommodation, chatting about our dog and traveling with him through the borders. The friendly sweeper. Clive at the bar, who made us feel at home and created some new drinks with us. Creating a welcoming environment. Chris that helped us during our dinner and Shiba that helped us with breakfast. Charles who chatted with us and helped us with the wifi and even greeted us on his way home, in the streets. And wonderful Ropa who kept us company and chatted to us about life and everything regarding Zimbabwe. And arranging the rental bikes within minutes. Value for money and a home away from home. I would recommend this gem to anyone! We even extended our stay by another night, just to experience the welcoming and friendly environment a little longer. Bayete was a treat!
