Batoka Apartments

Everything

Nothing

The location is very nice and quiet. It is also safe. The garden with wild lemons is amazing.

The 4k tv, the internet speed the comfortable mattress and the staff, all incredible

The lady was very helpful and friendly. The living room TV had Netflix and the internet was mostly fast and reliable. The space was well-decorated and homely. Located close to the airport. Quiet neighborhood.

The apartment did not have a swimming pool as they had previously indicated upon my making the booking. The place is located far from malls, shopping centers, nightlife, and restaurants in Lusaka. I would not recommend it for travelers who are visiting Lusaka for the first time as transport is difficult to get especially at night. The cottage is located on someone's private residential property and is not an actual apartment and because of this, the landlord has a curfew which makes it difficult to move freely, especially as a tourist. The bathrooms seem to have a shallow or poor drainage system which creates a bad smell in the whole cottage from time to time. The cottage also has an ant and tick infestation. I would recommend the landlord fumigates the cottage before guests arrive. I would also recommend the landlord get a backup generator or install solar energy as there were frequent power cuts in the area which creates inconvenience, especially for cooking. I would also recommend getting a gas stove instead of an electric one so guests can still cook when there are power cuts.
