Daniel, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had the most wonderful stay at the Vic Falls Hotel. The hotel has an incredible history, central location , breathtaking views and warm staff which ensured we had the best stay we could have hoped for. Whether spending the days lounging by the pool or walking to the falls, the hotel staff catered for all of our needs and more. It was a special trip thanks to our stay here and I couldn’t recommend it any more highly.

It was spectacular to stay at the number one property at Victoria Falls and therefore it’s an experience that we will never forget.
Julia, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Every part of our stay was 5 stars, but especially all the staff from Michael at dinner last night, to the super helpful and curteous front desk staff, to the cleaners and finally Veronica who was just charming at breakfast this morning. What a lovely place and people.
Mark, 3-night trip

This is a wonderful British colonial era property. Staff is fantastic. I would stay here again. If you need a hotel to see Victoria Falls, this IS the place to stay.

Old colonial building. Quite a formal hotel. Lovely room. Nice gardens with view of the bridge. Walking distance to shops.
Deborah, 1-night trip

We didn't stay long but really appreciated the Victoria Falls Hotel for its beautiful rooms and overall facility. Great afternoon tea (delicious) and breakfast buffet. Enjoyed seeing the wildlife cavorting on their lawn. Location was perfect for visiting the falls.

Gordon, 2-night trip

A wonderful hotel with great views and a lovely team. Unfortunately it’s lost its 5 star edge since I was last there and is very much run like a 4 star. Still worth staying for the old world style.

Location, location, location!!! Perfect location for the falls. Great buffet and dinner show. Nostalgia everywhere. You feel you have gone back in time. Downside: the hotel needs some updating, but the lack of tourism during COVID hurt all the hotels in the area. Still beautiful location and hotel.
Brenda, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Over rated for the price . Condition is very outdated and worn out . Great location and view. Friendly staff however were not accommodating.
marjan mir, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It feels like the hotel is trading on its former glory. The room is charged double what it’s worth. Most wines on the menu aren’t in stock, you’re harassed constantly by helicopters and street vendors, the gym is under furnished and they had no pool! That was the main reason we wanted to stay
The broken pool
Andrew, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We book the Vic Falls hotel fir a big if luxury at the end of our trip. To be honest, it was just ok. While it’s a beautifully maintained historic hotel, we paid a fortune for average service. Little things like the mini bar & water/coffee weren’t restocked during our stay. The food was very average. We had a much more luxurious stay at Ilala Lodge across the road at the start of the trip with fabulous food and service. Save your money by booking elsewhere and go to Vic Falls hotel for high tea.
Connie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely historic property.

We were really looking forward to our stay here and the hotel delivered. Our room was gorgeous with a really gorgeous aesthetic that balanced Classic and modern design. Service was really nice and staff very friendly (especially Lauren at check in). We organised transfers through the hotel; and all of them turned up perfectly on time which really impressed me. My one criticism would be the Livingstone Room, it was marketed as a very high end restaurant, and the service was lovely indeed; but the food was quite mediocre and forgettable and many of the wines were unavailable. In addition, the vegetarian option was the same as what I ate the night before on the terrace which was disappointing. Nonetheless, the history and character of this hotel was exceptional and we had a truly lovely stay.

I was charged for my accommodation when I had already paid Expedia in full. The front desk made me pay a second time saying they had not been paid by Expedia ? I am requesting a refund from Expedia immediately please.
