    No card paymemt facilities. Taking out cash from ATM in town which only gives 100 notes is very cumbersome and expensive. Same breakfast everyday. No TV. No wi-fi backup during the 8 hour power outages.

    The staff is very friendly. Loved the location of the property. Functional rooms. Loved the seating areas outside. Good price compared to other lodges

    We have some large insect in the shower visiting us time to time. But I guess it is a regional thing.

    Walking distance to a restaurant, and downtown in general. Very nice swimming pool and patio. Breakfast included and served upon request. Staff is very nice and helpful. The place have a very Cozy yard. AC and in every room.

    The curtains were too thin and didn’t block off much light, so it was hard to sleep longer because of this.

    The staff were very polite and extremely helpful. The rooms were very nice and cozy and definitely worth the amount we paid. Breakfast was always available on time and it was made very well. Overall the place truly felt like home. We also got to meet the owner and he was extremely kind to us as well.

    To give privacy to the user, the shared toilet needs the top walls (all the way to the roof) to be closed up..

    Our breakfast was prepared on time and we had a variety of food to eat. I enjoyed it thank you.

    My family and I made a quick trip into Zambia from Namibia, we were travelling from Australia. We found Tabonina Bis comfortable and met all our family needs with 2 bedrooms. We did not use the pool as it was winter. The owner Laurent, came to see us while we were having our complimentary breakfast. He made sure he stayed and had a chat after we gave him the indication that he was not disturbing us while eating . Laurent was very knowledgeable on the area and gave us some recommendations while visiting Victoria Falls. We also know that Laurent runs Tabonina A which is located in the same area. Thanks for all the help. Regards Neil & Leanne

    The breakfast was very sweet (jam, butter, toast, coffee) and could have been more versatile with savoury options (eggs, bacon, etc). The door locks should be stronger (the doors are old). The wifi didn't work very well.

    The location is good, and the whole stay is great value for money. The rooms are spacious and clean, with big beds and tall ceilings. There is enough parking space. There is a beautiful garden and a nice pool.

    My room was huge with 3 beds. It was totally fine for me, but it's not "luxury", there are cracks in the doors and windows, so that it's not closing properly. The water tap was very loose. A lot of spiders in the room, but that is of course normal in this area.

    Beautiful people, very friendly and welcoming! The garden is nice and green!

    We really had a good stay at Tabonina BIS! The property is spacious and clean, the garden is lovely and well kept and we enjoyed the swiming pool to cool off in the evenings! The staff are very helpful and willing to help with any needs. We stayed in a double room with private bathroom and it was big enough for us. The aircon works nicely! It is located close to town and easy to access
