Running Water Problems
Pamusha Lodge's biggest positive is the staff. They were all extremely welcoming and hospitable, giving us a tour of the outdoor common area and our room. There was no bottled water in the room, but there was tea and coffee always available in the outdoor restaurant. Breakfast was included. The bedroom was clean and the linens immaculate, though I preferred not to walk barefoot on the bathroom floor. The outdoor area is slightly shabby, but there is plenty of shaded seating, and a firepit. The negatives are that you can hear every sound from the adjacent rooms. My mosquito net was hung off to the side of the bed rather than directly over it, and was being held together by half a dozen bandaids. It didn't fit properly over the bed, and I had to sleep scrunched down and with my head between the two pillows to keep the net off my face and prevent mosquitoes from biting me through it. The biggest issue was the lack of water. Neither the bath or shower worked, and the sink only worked maybe 20% of the time. The shower sprayed for about 6 seconds, then became a small, cool trickle. I managed to lather up and splash the soap off (washing my hair was a lost cause) for a few minutes until the water stopped entirely. I then tried the sink, where the water only ran for ten seconds, then the tub - same thing. Had to wash my face with bottled water the next morning. Our tour operator said VF businesses have water reserves, so this isn't something that he hears about happening at all.

Time to telax
This is not a resort but the attention of the staff and the relaxed atmosphere make for a relaxing stay. Food is freshly cooked by Ivy and she will cater for your needs. Arnold is the “Jack of all trades” and makes you feel very welcome. Pamusha can organise tours for you and does breakfast, lunch or dinner cruises. The dinner cruise is good value and we say lots of hippos and elephants.

Not worth the proce.
The hotel has obviously seen better days. The staff were friendly and accommodating. But there was no place to eat inside - this in a mosquito infested area. The housekeepers would clean the room with the door open and left the non-screened windows open when they left. The room was filled with potentially malaria carrying mosquitos all night! My friend, who had a separate room requested a twin bedded room instead of the king sized bed she was given. The second room had no reading lights, the shower had almost no pressure and the furniture was bare and needed paint. My room was OK, but was not worth the $150 per night charged - $100 a night would have been more appropriate and her room should have been about $50 a night. They did not give us free water in our room and very careful to charge for every little extra they could. The only saving grace of the hotel was Edward, who was a wonderful driver , cook and who knows what else. The garden and pool were lovely, but not so great as to overcome the other deficiencies of the place

Nice Lodge in Victoria falls
stayed for 3 nights in September and was our first stop in Africa, the lodge is set in nice grounds with a bar area which was well stocked , good choice of food for breakfast , the rooms although basic were clean with a nice size bed Best part for me were the staff who very friendly and would do anything you asked , i booked a couple of tours through them and they worked out fine location is a little of out of town so i used the shuttle bus to get around and they would always have someone ready to take you at a few minutes notice

Disappointing Dollars Spent
Although the lodge is tucked away in a quiet setting and had an unique African feel, my wife and I were really unimpressed with this place. Our room was dated and unappealing. The windows had no screens so leaving the windows open let in mosquitoes though the bed did have a mosquito net over it. We used a skeleton key to open our room door. I can not comment on the food because I did not eat there but the food at lodge's restaurant could be purchase at US big city prices - WOW. The staff provided adequate assistance. The lodge was fairly close to Victoria Falls but I felt more comfortable using a cab to get to the falls rather than taking the 20 minute walk. The lodge had it own drivers and they were great. The lodge manager, Wisdom, arranged 5 tours for us which was very helpful. However, I was surprised to learn that the price quote for some of the tours did not include transportation and I felt like Wisdom made of the charges off the top of his head. All in all, my wife and I believe that we could have a booked a better place for the money.
