[Moraud5386]

[rah1239]

racist white rhodesians need to get with the programme and get a fricking life ... Black zimbabweans are doing bigger things than yals.... Accept it

[sepehr69]

I DONT CARE WHAT THIS MAN IS TALKING ABOUT, WHAT I WANNA SAY IS THAT ZIMBABWE IS BEAUTIFUL... VERY LOVELY PEOPLE AND OFCOURSE LOVELY CRICKET CLUBS...

[carlbako]

l stayed in the Travel Lodge last week in London you white rat, that Rainbow hotel is much much better than your hotes here in the UK so shut your stinking mouth dum dum. if you want the pictures reply to this.

[xxChocolateSugarxx]

Zimbabwe rules!!!!!!! 4get rhodisia u crazy? mugabe is a sick old man spoiling a beautiful country with mostly beautiful people. haterz leave now. i'm zimbabwean and 1/4 american so ...

[nmutyaz]

I recently stayed at the Hilton hotel in Blackpool UK and I must say the room you stayed in at the Rainbow towers was a million times better

[railroadtie69]

you mean downtown Salisbury, Rhodesia

[preludefan]

@railroadtie69 i agree the bush pigs havnt built anything - its like going back into the 70s

[TheMapurisa]

is this guy a bed exprt o some hahaha he can go fck himself .nway yes Mugabe should die but yes luv zim... trust me seen the sames rooms out here in europe

[TheMapurisa]

this guy must be a bed exprt o some 15yrs hahah nway yes Mugabe should die but i still luv zim so go fck yourself wit this video..seen worse rooms in europe too

[gameplays109]

wow, how do u have money 2 pay 4 all these hotels? u must b rich or something

[preskuku]

You are crazy, why ddnt you complain to the hotel management if you had issues. This is Africa not your New York.

[684700]

so tiring ..are nit-picky tourist.

if Zimbabwe is not good enough or tidy enough, than stay your 'behine' in spotless london or superclean Paris.

of which both of those cities, could use a good scrubbing from top to bottem.

check out ' the Zimbabwe you've never seen' video on youtube.

[jeromebamley]

lol..."orgy of beigeness".

[dudemissy]

Alrite look, i did not me to start a ruckus. Zimbabwe is a sensetive issue for me, and i think everyone looks back some times and goes wait a minute? I still dont believe wealth distribution was fair and that people felt the need to relocate when they did not get to know each other, that applies to everyone. I just hope we can all pray and help rebuild whats left of that beauty, coz i want Zim back as much as you do which is why we r all here ranting. But i'm tired of it now. Goodbye

[GumbytheUnstoppabIe]

As much of an asshole as SMith was, black people were much better off economically and in terms of safety than they are after 30 years of Bobby Mugabe. If the old Marxist failure would just allow for a fair election, Zimbabwe could rebound to prosperity much more evenly distributed, but as long as he runs off the white experts the way Hitler ran off the Jews, Zimbabwe will not recover.

[zimstyle]

Better of economically & safety under Smith? Are you from this planet? Were you a Black Man under Smith? I think you need a trip to the National Archives in Harare and you will be able to see footage of the Smith era, then yoiu can come and comment. Blacks owned nothing under Smith. We were taught not to aspire for anything. WE HAD NOTHING UNDER SMITH, OUR DIGNITY, OUR FREEDOM, OUR LAND, OUR RIGHTS... WE HAD NOTHING!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

[GumbytheUnstoppabIe]

WHat sort of dignity and freedom do you have under Bobby Mugabe? Are the people dignified asking for food handouts from surrounding nations? Are your rights in place when you get beaten for voting wrong? Is 80% unemployment and 1,000,000% inflation what you were counting on from this present government? I did not say I supported Smith, I was pointing out that things for blacks have actually gotten worse in some very important ways under Bobby Mugabe. I guess it's okay because he's black.

[zimstyle]

That is the purpose of sanctions, they are meant to make you suffer until you vote for a regime change. The situation in Zimbabwe has nothing to do with internal mismanagement, its just external sabotage through illegal sanctions advocated for by the puppet MDC

[SIGNAL75]

zimstyle - what FREEDOM -have you got? you cant vote without getting killed if you dont vote zanu - what DIGNITY do you have? your starving,running to other countries for work

dying like flies with no medical help! - your LAND - is producing less and less each year!!

what RIGHTS ?? you have less rights under Mugabe than SMITH - you had nothing?? food work fun beer music! now you have Bobbby! enjoy! i'm enjoying watch you all suffer!!!

[zimstyle]

So under Smith we had fun, beer and music? Well, it just goes to show your simplistic and oppressive attitude. Give blacks beer, fun and music and they wont want anything more than that, just like the Aborigines in Australia. We are not suffering we are in the process of a transition

[NZ500D]

No wonder Zim is in such a bad state if people think Zimbabweans think this way. If you actually support Mugabe you have some very serious issues. Without whites and with people with attitudes like yours Zimbabwe will slowly but surely get worse. Zimbabwe is the laughing stock of the entire world.

[catatonicable]

This transition is taking a while though, why is that.?

[justinaurelius]

Orgy of beigeness. I'm going to steal that line.

[dudemissy]

This guy dont know wot the fuck he is talking about. Just go away! And i take it most of you commenting like to call yourselves White Zimbabweans! I still think bob mismanaged everything but, boy you only have to compare the lifesyles of white and black Zimbabweans before 2000. You guys had the best of everything, went to the best xools, and hey... all in the black man land! I remember when my parents bought a house in borrowdale, man the White pple were outta there faster than we could unpack.

[SIGNAL75]

dudemissy - i don't blame them!! your folks bought a house in a good area!! they must be corrupt zanu pf flunkies!!what were you unpacking - the latest chinese ak's - so if your white neighbours didn't agree with you -

hey! dad - shoot them! uncle bob will promote you!! see you are in the uk!! black mans blood on your degree! if you ever pass your exams!! with your 1 "o" level you'll get a job as minister of education in bobs "gvt"

flunkie!! go back to black mans land! shithead

[zimstyle]

Grow-up!!

[mugabesanus]

to hell with you

[zimstyle]

Did i hurt your feelings? Oh poooor you...

[BiniamBarcelona]

Mugabe should die

[SIGNAL75]

dudemissy - boy you only have to compare the lifestyles of white and black after 2000!!!

pity about the million % percent inflation - and a govt still ruling even though they lost the vote!! even ian smith wouldn't have the cheek to do that!! then again he was white!! ha ha ha black corrupt filth! daddy shot an mdc child yet!!scum!!

[craigybaby265]

you narrow minded dick.white zimbabweans? i lived there in the mid 80's as a working class english lad and it was fuckin paradise for all irrespective of colour. That president wants feeding to every starving person who's life he has ruined with his thirst for riches and power. my best mates were blacks-so what?

[tuffmedia]

True this! lmao.. Vainona and Pomona areas too... I remember being looked at funny by some white ppl when they checked me out stepping into some restaurant at Borrowdale village, it was as if they were sayin BLACK MAN YOU, YOU MUST BE LOST, THIS AINT THE PLACE YOU?RE LOOKING FOR--- In ya faces! You racist Rhodesian bastards

[WIZIMIL]

He's a hotel room reviewer,not a sociopolitical commentator. Someone today in Zimbabwe might have said something to the effect of "my tea is cold". Because Zimbabwe's in a horrible mess, it doesn't mean there aren't much smaller issues that aren't constantly addressed by every person every day.

[Chazzoli]

I hope the person who made this video realises that while he's complaining about the beige tiles, most of the population is literally fighting for survival in a brutal dictatorship.

[bacaca88]

I hope that you realise that you are full of shit for criticising someone who has probably put a few dollars in the pockets of locals, while you can just criticise from afar.

[Chazzoli]

You know nothing, the money he spends on the hotel just goes to the Sheraton top dogs while the locals employed get virtually nothing.

[bacaca88]

So he just 'teleported' to his hotel room? Have you ever travelled? Travellers spend money outside of their hotel in shops, on taxis, entertainment, restaurants, etc. Who just goes to a country to stay in a room. Get real you idiot - he must have spent SOME money locally. Also, does this hotel run itself? Where do the staff come from?? Do they spend THEIR earnings locally? C'mon-your arguement does not hold water.

[zimcon1]

honestly i'm disgusted that there are such fools as the persn wh posted the video and web bunny tel me how cn u say u liv in zim and yet yu say we are backin Dr. "MUG"evil wen u kno th2 elections are rigged and anyone who stands against him wil be thwarted like a fly in the path of an elephant even bush n' blair don hav the balls to stand up to him. u should always think b4 u comment. i feel soory for u u r an ignarrant webbunny

[wepasi]

kana ikasakara hotero yacho...asi ndeyedu...iye ambosheedzwa nani? Mu America munana Motel 6 nana Days inn, vane inda dzekuti ukasiya tauro pazuva unowana radhonzerwa mumumvuri.Musatanyoko wake

[jojojojo778899]

yeah but motel 6 doesnt claim to be a 5 star hotel where as rainbow towers does. why do u think sharton pulled out? this is just to wack for such a big brand to be associated with...zimbos, lets not continue to live in denial and continue to blame the white man. c'mon man

[wepasi]

my friend if you think white people don`t have anything to do with the zim crisis, then maybe iwewe you are the one in denial.For Mugabe to lead Zanu PF instead of Tongogara or Chitepo was not a coincidence.They helped him get to power, he made them rich, when they would not give him more money , he turned against them

[jojojojo778899]

first of all im not ur friend-dont patronise me.

second, mugabe IS to blame.zim is mostly agrarian based economy, if u chase away the people that actaully KNOW what they are doing and give the farms to your cousins and uncle who only know how to plant maize ne badza....um-ure basically fucked.

[wepasi]

Don`t use words you don`t understand.You are just as slow as your limited mind can expand, don`t try to think deep, it`s not not for you.Go and research, you get your limited knowledge from the TV. " Patronise " , "agrarian"..."wack" If you want to sound educated... get educated first. Shungu too much , data hapana

[jojojojo778899]

well done! you are so much like your beloved mugabe...just becoz someone doesnt agree with your opinions you start to attack them personally...ah he has taught you well! he will be so proud

[xane1990]

i think u have a limited mind here ,u seem not 2 know the real situ so shut up and let ppl who know talk,this isnt the time 2 be praising mugabe

[jojojojo778899]

as far as im concerned zim was fine the way it was before mugabe lost his mind whites and blacks and indians etc all livin side by side, wokring to make OUR country prosperous until greed stepped in-now look at us.

[bigmclovin]

I wanna smack this guy! What a prick, so arrogant!

[jojojojo778899]

he just telling the truth.

[wepasi]

jojo research before you try to make a point. AmericA France and England will never let an African country stand on it`s own feet.Mugabe is a product of the Lancaster house constitution.They eliminated his nemesis put him in power, exploited the zim economy.decolonise your mind and see the truth

[jojojojo778899]

what exactly has this guy stated in this clip that is untrue? the hotel is shit for a 5 star. nothing has been done to change the decor. ITS CRAP!!!! just look at it!!the only research i need to do with regard to this clip is to stay in 5 star hotels and do a comparison...well i have stayed in 5 star hotels and i can conclude that this hotel is not worthy to be classed as such.

[tipsforrommers]

Yes It Dose FRom TYlers TipsFOrRoomers .

[webbunny]

How can you guys keep going on about this guy being a Rhodie etc? You're a bunch of idiots! Why do you keep backing Mugabe up when he is ruining your lives? I heard he just finished building a multi million dollar (USD of course) mansion, when most of you can't get any food, your hospitals have no drugs or equipment! Your schools have no teachers, your universities are unattended and you have no future. You are a weak people and you need to learn how to stand up for yourselves.

[Garikai]

who da hell is backing mugabe up? are u stupid. not even tony blair cud talk bk 2 him let alone kill him. shut ur stupid face

[bigmclovin]

shut up webbunny, it's easy for you to speak! Do you really think it is that easy? Mugabe is no idiot, he knows exactly how to stay at the helm of power. You disgust me, and so does the guy in this video.

[webbunny]

No - it's not easy for me to speak. Zimbabwe is my home, and it's falling apart. Anyway - 28 years in power this year! Great! Nothing changes.

[nzingamina]

This guy must feel stupid...must be one of those rhodesians that left and feeling bitter.

[poytechnic123]

This guy makes it sound as if Rainbow Towers is a terrible hotel. I bet that room is smarter than that guy 's bedroom wherever he comes from. "Nothing has ever been done to this place" , are you a king or something??

[cmuwan]

whatever... sounded lik an english bloke n all the english are stuck up assholes. stayed in the sheridon n it was cul. nice food n all. this dude obviosly thinks hes gods gift to even post his spastic thoughts the fool

[arkuis]

thats funny cmuwan, I happen to think that people who think that "all (people of any perticular nationality) are stuck up assholes" are also stuck up assholes.

LOL

[cmuwan]

anyone who uses three letter accronyms are lazy saps

[arkuis]

Jealousy makes you nasty :)

...or maybe its just nitpicking that makes one nasty... you tell me :D

[cmuwan]

futseki

[arkuis]

I love you too :D

[zimzim27]

Sheraton Hotels worldwide have a high standard, the decor is updated quite often, and beds are changed more often than the warranty date is over. The man in the video was just making an observation that since the govt of zimbabwe lost the franchise to use the "Sheraton" brand name, the standards have dropped. Its typical of zimbabweans taking constructive criticism personally. Get over it!

[slimeyb]

agree with all the other comments - how very superior you are. coming from zim and knowing the conditions most people live with there, i can't believe you could be so pompous. it looked clean and functional - so what? what a nightmare you'd be to travel with.

[sikhonzile]

what's with all the snobbery? Is that all you have to say about Zimbabwe? "Harumph, my 5-star hotel room was (egad!) BEIGE!" You sound like a real treasure to travel with.

[acetorben]

hey wy do u think it the hotel is so bad,u showed everyone 2 rooms, the rest of the hotel is much better, dont give people false ideas. zim is the best place on earth, even with the crap that its going thru at the moment, i went there about a month ago on holiday, the first time ive been back for a year, i went to the hotel 4 lunch, and u no wat, it had the best food eva, better than any food anywere else, and it was cheaper, it might not be ur 5star hotel, but hell, its allot of other peoples.

[leia926]

orgy of beigeness!? lol

[amazeness]

*i think zimbos...

not i dont think!

[tonderai29]

u cant afford a hotel room like this where ucome from and u want to come here and talk shit about zim go, ant u the same chaps we always see with back packs, dirty , smelly going to the same and after u dirten it u want to complain go scrub somewhere elso and go back to the sheraton and leave it clean , chimbuzi.

[amazeness]

when i was in zim, i'd have killed to go to the sheraton. despite the bathroom being "brown" or whatev. im not going to pretend we lived in povery, coz thats pointless. but yes, it was hard. i dont think zimbos have more important things to concentrate on their luxurty hotels' rooms tbh.

[Poshness10]

Yeah my comment is for the dummy eyewoya the Posh ones left Zim a long time ago so dont go blaming the ones who are suffering left behind and have nothing to do with your past misery

[Gudmface]

LOL - the tone in the voice - full of criticism! There are lots of things wrong with Zim or Harare, but I cannot find anything wrong with the Hotel room. What? brown colour? 15 year old bed? A bed has 20yrs warantee after all! If you dont like Sheraton go ....

[210712198]

yu are full of shit.

[matekat]

It just seems a bit ridiclous that someone can decide to criticize a hotel room as though it were such a big deal. Harare is not the worst place in the world. in fact some of the places i have been to in europe dont even compare to the beauty of Harare. findsomething more constructive to talk about.

[zimboi2]

hu eva put this video there is a pussy .and the brother thtss chating why is he tlking like he is a big man wen he is just a looku wili.if it wat dry and dasty wat are u doing there so it must be samething nice tht got u the u westeman.go suck ur slf man how abt dry dasty harare/u are a bitch if i was near u i could ave slpt u in ur flippin face try take man's harare for a idiot ting wat are u sick in tht big haed of urs u lil westeman

[jimalo666]

white boys are least to succeed in U.K. schools.hmmm lack of funds or just plain stupid.

[eyewoya]

omg, i lived in zimbabwe for a couple of years and i left in 2002 but what i have to say is that it's God's way of punishing them and am glad they are suffering because i used to remember how ignorant they were and asking stupid questions.They thought they were the shit. Someone once asked me, are there cars in my country? Now they are rushing to get visa's to my country. Hopefully they will learn a lesson and start being nice to foreigners in their country.

[Poshness10]

Oh dear sorry for you but yeah the Posh ones who gave you grief are all out of the country and living LARGE!!! so dont put the blame on the ones who dont deserve it

Poshness living larrrrge!

[Mandyboo]

ur a very selfish person to smile at people's suffering

[andfranca]

True!

[45zimbo1962]

The point is simple. There is no investment into the economy. This means loss of jobs, poverty and long term decline. Time for change, time for revolution! Time to overthrow the evil dictator, Mugabe, and his lying thieving devils. Support the MDC now! Chinja Maitiro, Maitiro Chinja! I pray that together, whatever the colour of your skin, we can rebuild our country

[JohnyJ77]

Look,what is the point of this video,you have people who cant afford basic essentials,and you come and start running your mouth about colour schemes in bathrooms and contesting whether the hotel is up to five star standards.How much did the room cost you by the way? couldn't have been cheep considering the economy-i guess its alright for some hey?Your probably upset they dont have caviar and,the finest of French wines on the menue.Try contributing to the situation constructively

[julesdarcy]

Some comments here would suggest a persecution complex.

[georgiem]

if ya don't like the place, get the hell out! n stop critisizing zimbabwe, it's still a great place. i know people like u don't like being ruled by a black government but get over it, you ARE in africa u know... i hate to break it to ya but, rhodesia is long gone!

[berzek72]

Come on, even blacks suffer being ruled by their own people if these so called leaders would ruin a country like it's the sad case on many countries in the African continent.

[Deardeath]

It's a Great place, ahahahaha, have you lost your mind? 1500% inflation, 80% unemployement. Zimabwe used to export food, now it can't even feed its own people. I've been to Zimbabwe, and i can tell you that even the black people were better off under Smith. I think the point of the video was to point out how things are degrading... Even what is suppose to be a 5 star hotel looks like an 3 star average Holiday In in North America. Companies are leaving the country....

[macvimz]

lol dis aint even bout smith or wat dis bout bad leadership nd lemme tel ya smethin av ya eva been 2 european hotels ha ha ha dey shit lukin 4 shizz so dnt knw why ya sayin hotelz in north america are beta.Anwaiz aint nobody forced ya 2 go 2 zim.If its aint posh enuff 4 yu find sme other place.Zim mite b sufferin bt wil stand by it.

[semi8250]

i think if you have nothing good to say then shut the hell up. that country is home to some of us and obviously our standards are different! so who says different is necessarily bad??

[tagkuj]

While this may pass as a useful travel tip to your elk, to us Zimbabweans this video sadly exudes the wanton negativity that we have come to expect from the West. Even more tragic is that as Zimbabweans (black and white) bear the brunt of a capricious regime, those of your mindset have at best no relevance to our struggle or at worst are part of the problem. This explains some of the comments to this video. If you do not like dry and dusty stay out of Africa.

[macnos]

whenever i see this kind of stuff it pisses me off because we used to have a great economy now everyone is pulling out and that prick mugabe is quick to blame the west.

[molly2323]

All i can say is please find better things to do with your time rather than Criticizing another countries hotel accomodation, a very sad soul indeed. if you had any taste you would recognise the style in the bathroom as classic! As i was born in Harare ur comments on the "dusty an dry Harare" i find insulting.

[stubbs98]

Pay more for a better room!!

[QETUTOR]

he picked a five star hotel! do you think they have better?

[alxisrtlv]

What 26 years of ZANU PF can do is deeply saddening

[berzek72]

a white person born in what is now Zimbabwe. The term Rhodie derives from Rhodesia, the colonial name of Zimbabwe until 1980.

[berzek72]

an orgy of beigeness? What the hell is that? I have stayed at hotels in Europe with a similar setting as your room in Harare.

OK, Zimbabwe may not be as prosperous as Rhodesia yet you get somewhat decent rooms.

You must be a Rhodie isn't it?

[Chimbwido]

Dear, he is a Rhodie for sure!!

[tipsfortravellers]

what is a "Rhodie"?

[RobWalker]

It means a White Zimbabwean. It comes from "Rhodesian," referring to the colonists back when Zimbabwe was Rhodesia...

[gucci10]

Why critisize the place, what do u expect with Mugabe milking the country's economy, why didnt u just sit back and enjoy the beauty of Zim..?

[rvbobc]

My guess is that Mugabe kicked Sheraton out.

[dredvybz]

is or was sheraton white?

[tipsfortravellers]

Thanks for the comments so far. Staying at around 24 different hotels a year I still think this one is below par as very dated and needs a refit. but keep the comments coming!!

[PeachYz]

True...i been at the place and it suxxx...one night wen we got into a room, i was about to take a bath and the tub wasnt properly cleaned it had limescale around it ewww!

[Chimbwido]

dude, why all the negativity... you must be a very sad soul!! That room is great!!

[LadiiCheeks]

lol@faz

[Faz1986]

that place looks fine to me. stay at a hilton and it had a similar sort of set up, just a bit more spacious! are you a displaced farmer by any chance?

[sweetie2687]

Wow, surely you didn't go there to criticise the place but merely to sleep there...
