Great clean and safe resort
Great hotel with nice rooms and grounds. Grounds are surrrounded by a high wall and automatic gate for which the hotel gives you a remote to get in after-hours, to protect from widlife so you feel very safe walking the grounds at night. Staff are accomidating and nice. Only fault was the firmness of the bed. But would asolutely stay here again if I have the chance.

Good value hotel.
Stayed for 5 nights as a base for my trip to Victoria Falls. Lovely staff who were helpful and polite. Hotel was in good condition and had all required amenities though some of the bedroom furniture could have been of better quality. Bed was excellent though and the evening turndown service was good.
Hotel is a little out of the town but then most are, so a taxi was required to go anywhere but the hotel were good about booking them for me.
I would stay again if back in Victoria Falls.

A good value lodge in Victoria Falls.
The Lodge is well located and easy to find. The check in was efficient and the staff friendly. The room was nice, clean and comfortable. The rooms are all quite close together so noise was an issue sometimes with some of the other guests.

Nice rooms set in mature gardens. Very friendly and helpful staff. Restaurant was not busy but very good quality. The Zambezi Bream was delicious. Three items on the dinner menu that changed daily. Breakfast items are started to be put out well before official start time, very handy if you have early morning activities. There is a food shop with cafe attached nearby but a fair walk or taxi ride for more amenities. Excursions and activities do pickups and are on time or generally early. Highly recommended.

Bayete Is a wonderful place to stay. Rooms are big, very comfortable and private. The staff were very helpful and professional. The guest lodge is a hidden gem. Location is close to town and Victoria Falls, taxis are reasonable. Would definitely stay here again. Breakfast is included and the restaurant offers lunch and dinner at your cost.

We used the Bayete as a base for our 30th anniversary celebrations. They couldn’t have been more friendly and professional. Outstanding service all round, from housekeeping, front desk, catering, kitchen and gardening. Would highly recommend for Vic Falls and safari. Thank you to all the Bayete team for looking after us throughout our stay.
