We booked Hibon Lodge for a weekend getaway based on the profile of the lodge.|When we arrived there, we were greeted by the friendly, Charles who was very helpful and accommodating.|The gardens were neat and well maintained with a great view as a backdrop!|The room that we stayed in was beautiful and clean. It was very spacious and well laid out with a huge bathroom. ||Before our arrival, we tried to phone several times to confirm the booking but no one answered.||Unfortunately, the loud music from the shabeen close by continued from the afternoon right through to when we checked out. We were unable to relax. ||As there were no close restaurants, we had no option but to have dinner at the lodge. There was not much of a selection to choose from in terms of food and drinks.

If these were fixed the room would have been a 10/10 too. ||||The staff only being Patience and Victor were very friendly and eager to assist. ||||I would recommend Hibon as a rest stop for the weary. And would definitely go back if the opportunity...
