Rosalio, 1-night trip
Verified Hotels.com guest review

8/10 Very good

Good location for the falls and other activities. They were really helpful at organising activities. Outlook from the rooms to the back of the neighbouring properties was unappealing. Not shown like this in the accomodation websites. 2 of each beverage item (tea and coffee) in the room for the cost of the room was very stingy.

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay in Vic Falls. Lots of local vendors near by. They do hassle you a bit more than I like, but still a great location. I had a medical issue and they had a doctor there right away that was able to treat and cure my condition with an injection and medications. The service was remarkable and not grossly expensive. Staff at hotel very helpful and the hotel itself is very nice and comfortable.

We had a great stay here. Walkable to the falls and the craft market, nice restaurant, nice rooms. Reasonably priced.

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommended, really enjoyed my 2 nights. Only 10 min fast walk to the Zimbabwe entrance to the Victoria Falls national park, amazing views of the falls. I also did a round trip walk to the Zambian national park, toal 12km including all the sights on the Zambian side. Well worth it. Very friendly, helpful and efficient staff at reception, the restaurant seemed a bit less well organised and the odd person was less friendly.

Rude staff
Okay hotel. Most of the staff is nice; however, there are a number of extremely rude staff members that runined the overall stay.

From the moment I arrived I was looked after and made to feel welcome. The pool area and bar were perfect for relaxing and the food was excellent. It was an easy walk to the Falls and arranging trips was easy too.

Just amazing!
This is a little piece of heaven. I would rate this place 5star. All staff are so friendly and helpful. The little bungalows are so lovely and comfortable. Serviced morning and evening! Lovely pool. Very safe area to explore the village and shops. Shearwater helped us with transfers and some amazing activities/experiences. I am definitely going back to this beautiful place.
