The hotel room was comfortable and had the necessary amenities. The staff at reception were very friendly and helpful. Do remenber to take your own adaptors as they have none. Telephone calls are made through the business centre and charged at USD 1 per minute. I did not eat at the hotel, but there is a lovely steakhouse down the... More

The Bulawayo Rainbow is excellent value for money, with spacious rooms, stylish amenities and excellent food! Located near the city center, it is the ideal place to stay in Bulawayo, for either business or pleasure.

The hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly. The hotel bar has a good vibe, especially on a Saturday night.

Stayed here during ZITF 2011 - they are organising club parties with DJ`s in their basement during the week while they are having international guests - one cannot sleep with this overbearing noise. There is also a lack of warm water. Asked to be moved to another room and they just look at you with a blank face

I spent two nights at Rainbow Hotel with a business colleague. In general it was a good hotel with big and clean rooms. Bathroom did not look too 'modern' but it was tidy and clean. Staff was extremely friendly and competent. Good restaurant offering a good buffet. Though, because the restaurant was nearby the bar, it was noisy because of... More

I really liked my stay in this hotel, especially because of the very good service. E.g.: I'd to travel from Bulawayo to Masvingo and that was a huge problem, because there's almost no tranport due to the fuel-shortage. The hotelstaff did everything to arrange a lift for me. Mark, Netherlands
