"The stuff was amazing.(Visto) I booked this stay for a special and very dear to me person celebrating her birthday. I booked a room hope they would give them two beds but we’re only give one. I asked I could move them was told I would have to pay for the room they were in and the one they transfer them too. I advised it okay move them tomorrow to the family room and was charged an additional amount which was showing different on my end. I paid it did not hesitate. My mom is elderly and offered to pay all her bills was told no they won’t be able to bill me for that, so I sent her cash. Today I get an email saying pay her balance for her meals, I asked rheum what changed now and before when I asked you guys to bill me. ( feeling confused) I have stayed there before and was hoping for a good experience for her. Talking about the massage she got, tell me when customer get a massage do you only do the back and not the whole body? I actually regret booking the spa there. I thought it was a great idea but an epic fail. It’s a nice location and things can be done better. I wanted her day to be special."

This duration allows for ample time to explore significant landmarks, engage with local wildlife, enjoy lively entertainment, and experience the bustling cafes and shops that Lusaka has to offer. With such budget-friendly options available, visitors can enjoy great value for money while immersing themselves in the unique charm of the city.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Lusaka on Hotels.com, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections, where you may find discounted rates on hotels as your travel date approaches. It could be beneficial to activate email alerts or push notifications from Hotels.com to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, helping you seize opportunities to save. Additionally, the Smart Shopping tool within the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, ensuring you're informed about any price drops or availability changes for your preferred hotels, making your last-minute getaway easier to book.
