Nkhotakota
2.8 out of 10, (3 reviews)
"I arrived there and the hotel owner told me that he never received my Expedia reservation and payment and asked me to pay cash. So I did. This means that I paid twice but I am not complaining as the price was so low. The hotel room was super basic with no running water and no sink. Very friendly and helpful owner."
