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.

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

2/10 Poor

The property was once probably beautiful but they have not maintained it. Our room had filthy old carpets coming up from the floor. The bathroom was possibly not dirty but so worn and stained and marked up it felt dirty. I’d say they have not replaced anything but the couches and curtains which do look new but the walls need paint the baseboards are filthy. Worst of anll we found excrement ” on the stairway going to our second floor room and it was still there as we passed it 4 times. No idea how it even got there. And the staff gives the pretense of service in some cases but doesn’t really provided . Some staff seemed to care less. I couldn’t even get change to pay taxi driver and they didn’t seem to care. The food was pretty ordinary. I really fe sad about writing this as it could be beautiful if refurbished and staff trained.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
