Having never been to Harare before I was unsure what to expect but I could not have anticipated such a great place - real personalised hospitality combined with professionalism. Clean, large rooms, great food, a beautiful garden setting and functioning WiFi as well. Never mind about being the best place to stay in Harare - I wish there was somewhere... More

York Lodge is a charming colonial style bungalow set in immaculate verdant gardens. You will be warmly welcomed by Les and Margot and their staff. The rooms are comfortable and the food wholesome. There are two swimming pools in the gardens for relaxation - and there are three lovely dogs! More

The York Lodge was reserved by my husband's workplace (Diplomatic mission) when we arrived in Harare. On arrival after 3 days of travelling from the other side of the world, we were faced with a very hostile lady. Just when I was getting off the vehical with our son, she ran inside in an agitated manner saying "I did not... More

My return to Harare on business after 5 years was really made by staying at this superb lodge. Excellent service, good food, really nice rooms, safe, good location to get around Harare. Will certainly stay again if I can get in - it is very a popular place. More

First up: I didn't stay here in August 2010, I stayed in April 2010. I came home and immediately wrote a review, but York Lodge was then not listed on TripAdvisor and, despite repeated efforts to add it, TripAdvisor never published my review. Actually, I stopped contributing to TripAdvisor as a result of this. But now, suddenly, York Lodge is... More

A rare little haven of peace and security in Harare. Friendly, clean and manicured gardens. Excellent food, service a little on the slow side but that is because they start cooking when the kitchen gets your order (not like the big chains). Walled compound gives security to you and your car. This is the only hotel in Harare I know... More

York Lodge is a gem - lovely people, great food, beautiful gardens - everything was spot on. I love the lodge atmosphere with the option of communal eating. The wine/beer honesty box is a great idea. There is free, high-speed wifi. There are two swimming pools. Food is home cooked, fresh and fantastic and the whole team are just great.... More
