We stayed at Kariba for 4 nights. The location was pretty good with buses were very closeby on the same street. We had a parking stall directly outside the guesthouse.You can get a day bus pass for one and a half pounds which was much more convenient than driving. Our room was fine, no complaints.
Breakfast was good. There is a breakfast menu, but you could ask for more food if you wanted. The owner's have a parrot in their living area which is just next to the breakfast room. You could hear him talking which was quite entertaining sometimes.
The one thing we didn't like is that they wanted a cash payment. There was a sign stating that their machines were down and unable to take credit or debit card payments. I tend to think the sign has been up for quite some time.

We stayed at the Kariba for the NZ v Scotland rugby world cup game, we arrived by car and it was very easy to find, when we checked in the welcome and assistance was non existent. Be warned the first thing they told us about on arrival was a £5 per night car parking charge, even though in all my corrispondence I said I would be driving down from Inverness and this was not mentioned. (this is also not on their web site).
Room 1 was in ok condition. Large dusty wardrobe with some broken hangers. Very small badly tuned TV with no remote control. Hospility tray had some of the cheapest poor quality coffee and tea I have ever seen. The bed was a double and comfortable but had only 3 pillows (why 3 pillows and not 2 or 4 ?). The bathroom was in poor condtiion, I had to re-attach the heat control knob to the shower before I had a shower, the hospility soaps and shampoos again were the cheapest and worst quaility ever seen (and contained only 1 small sachet of soap for 2 people for 2 nights), most of the fixtures and fittings in the shower were dirty or starting to rust, and the worst thing of all was the smell from the pump attached to the toilet.
Breakfast was an experience to be believed. Organised chaos would be a polite term. Perhaps it is better when the hotel has less guests. Some of the crockery was dirty and had not been dried properly and so had soapy water on it. The jars of preserves were clearly filled from larger (cheap) jars and were very sticky. The coffee was over brewed. The cooked breakfast was ok.
Everything at the Kariba has been done for the cheapest possible price. For £30 pppn I expect better.
Be warned and stay elsewhere.

Coming all the way from New Zealand, we were very happy to have such a warm welcome from Agnes. Our room was large, clean and homely. We were able to access the garden directly from our room, which made the kids happy! The breakfast was very tastie too, I especailly enjoyed the choice and fresh fruit and cereal and full cooked breakfast. Overall, a fnastic place to stay in such a lovely city!

I stayed at the Kariba for in May. I started out trying to walk to the guesthouse but it was too far and I had to get a taxi. My room was ok but certainly could be improved - it had mis-matched furniture, a horrible swirly red carpet , a purple duvet and a white armchair and the shower was in the bedroom, not in the en -suite! The cups didn't match, there were no biscuits and no remote control (the tv looked 20 yrs old) . I think I was given the worst room in the house as I was a single traveller - the others looked much better. The breakfast room was nice but it was the stingiest breakfast ever - you got a 'potato scone', an egg and sausages - no tomatoes, no mushrooms etc. The orange juice was warm and there were some cruddy looking bits of fruit on the sideboard. The breakfast was well-cooked but not enough of it! There is a bus stop directly opposite the hotel and it takes about 10 mins to get into the centre and there are shops and takeaways close by. The owners were friendly. The place is fine for the price but could be improved.
