What people are saying

Chimanimani Hotel, a colonial-era building in the village centre, splits reviewers between the setting and its upkeep. Gm597 (2016) praised “the mountain ranges and the majestic vegetation” surrounding it, though the power went “on and off” overnight. KingMory (2022) said the place “looks dilapidated” but found staff “quite hospitable” and enjoyed “well cooked yummy pork chops” at pocket-friendly prices. More recent stays are harsher: TT (2025) found “Poorly kept grounds” and no running water, and Zenzele (June 2026) checked out immediately after seeing the rooms.

“Had lunch here with my family. The place looks dilapidated but the Staff is quite hospitable. I had well cooked yummy pork chops and tried their bream as well. Food came within 45 minutes and the prices are pocket friendly”

“Poorly kept grounds. Tall grass everywhere. Bad smell from the reception area. Turns out there was no water for a while and the hotel has no backup water storage facility. Left immediately and found a gorgeous lodge not too far from there.”

TT · 2025

“After a long and very Hectic night drive from Mutare I was happy to find a place to rest and relax at the Hotel. The hotel is not that classy but it is a place were you spend a night at and enjoy your sleep.”

“I suppose this hotel was once good, but it now needs a complete makeover, from the reception chairs to the furniture in the rooms. I booked the place and checked out immediately when I realised how horrible it was”
