    Workers should know what exactly guests booked for as they are checking in to avoid the embarrassment we went through

    I paid for two but was told in the morning that the breakfast was only for one person..it was very embarrassing. .we where supposed to stay for three days we ended up staying for only a night

    Breakfast is hot and fresh but has limited options. The hotel location is mid-way between airport and city Centre, with great access to 4 major shopping malls nearby. The rooms are comfortable and spacious with a dedicated working station and good WIFI connection. The staff are awesome and very helpful. The area is safe...i did many evening walks from hotel to the neighborhood.

    The noise from the kitchen. The staff making noisr early in the morning. There were even guests beating drums at 6am, management did not intervene. The room is infested with coachroaches. The breakfast juice is sweetened water. The towels are so old they tear as you dry yourself.

    The location is great, overall. The staff are very friendly except for the cleaners who wanted to kick me out of the room at 10am for cleaning even though I was busy. Perhaps there should be a 'Do Not Disturb' card to hang on the door.

    The electric cuts off more often. The water was cold most of the time. However this is out of their control as it's a national issue in Zambia at this moment.

    Mika Lodge is located in a beautiful area. Very close to main roads and easy access to Malls. The staff do their best to look after their guests, especially chief Rebecca. She was amazing. Always cheerful and communicated well with the guests . The rooms are cleaned every day and the facilities are adequate. The breakfast is very good with various choices. The surrounding areas are kept clean and there is a swimming pool, which is very useful during the hot season.

    My group ended up shuffling around to different rooms during our time there. Some things worked, some things didn't (like a couple of rooms with A/C units). Would have been nice to get that correct upfront. Some rooms had decent bathrooms, my first room didn't even have a shower (just a bath tub). The biggest issue is in how they clean their rooms. Their staff would spray copious amounts of DOOM insect spray in each room as they left. Excessive amounts! This caused me and three of my team members to get very sick for several days as we breathed that in our first night staying there. This really spoiled our trip to Zambia. This must stop as we were legitimately poisoned by the staff and left with a nasty cough that lasted for days. This cleaning practice should end immediately because other people are made sick.

    I actually like this hotel and am a return visitor. However the power outages and the main generator failure meant they were using a back up generator which was underpowered so no WiFi or hot water. This was explained when I arrived so fair enough but the room allocated had the new generator running 5am to 12 midnight right outside the window. When it was off at night the solar beeped every 30 seconds so there was no sleep to be had. I was also worried about carbon monoxide from the exhaust near the room ventilation which may or may not be a valid worry. I would return but not in these circumstances. No complaints about any other aspect and staff are delightful.

    The quality of the beddings were too abysmal for a property charging $ 40. The Country is having power issues and this extends to the lodge, however i was not told thisnwould mean no water or even a solution provided. I slept with a gen set blaring but with no electricity. If the host is aware thatndue to power issues they cannot provide a good service should they reaaly charge full rate.

    The receptionists were not friendly at all, especially when we checked out. Room 6 the TV was not working and the Wifi for Block A was not working in the room only outside. Asking for toast at breakfast was a mission and took way too long to get to us, hence we finished our breakfast before it arrived. Riccoffee is NOT coffee it is made of chicory and it is horrible. On the first day we had a choice of Nescafe at breakfast, but it ran out so on the second day we had no choice but Riccoffee. Creamora is NOT milk, we asked for fresh milk, which again was a mission, and we waited very long for it.

    The rooms and linen were clean and comfortable

    Room was not sound proofed and a group of workers laughed and talked very loudly right outside the window for hours. Outdoor chairs allocated to the room were being used by anyone on the premises making sleep very hard.

    Pleasant and helpful staff, good location for airport access.
