"Victoria Falls Hotel review"
Given the swimming pool and bar was closed, there was a reluctance to accommodate alternatives for guests ." See all these reviews: 6n in Zimbabwe; 5n in Botswana; 2n in Namibia

"Victoria Falls Hotel review"
Old style character and comfort, with friendly staff and very good quality and range of food options on the terrace. Grounds beautifully maintained.
Although you can't see the Falls, you can see the mist rising and hear the sound of the water." See all these reviews: 6n in Namibia; 6n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Victoria Falls Hotel review"
We have stayed in a room with a lovely view of the garden and the bridge at the falls - great. Breakfast was also very nice. As to the food in restaurant on the terrace this was absolutely okay, but not outstanding. Some of the furniture in the lounges is a little dated, for example some sofas should be renewed.
The staff was very friendly and always happy to help." See all these reviews: 4n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
"Victoria Falls Hotel review"
It is very comfortable and we received a very warm welcome. The rooms are super , although a little lacking in storage space.
We also found the shower was a little slippery and felt that either a non slip surface , or some grab rails might be a good idea .
We were staying on a B and B basis and were pleasantly surprised at the cost of lunch , dinner and drinks in the hotel. The quality of food was great and the view over the gorge to the bridge just fabulous.
We did buy some bits from the locals and found some of them rather too insistent and aggressive. We decided to get around the town by taxi rather than walk around and be continually approached ." See all these reviews: 6n in Zimbabwe; 4n in Botswana

"Victoria Falls Hotel review"
Given the number of tourists that can appear all at once, they handle it efficiently . Concierge and customer service superb. The room was a little tired. We were in the stable area I believe and the gardens outside in the courtyard a bit tatty. But overall the premises were beautiful.
Lovely Indoor and outdoor bar area. Breakfast was nice and we had a lunch BBQ which was good. Had problems with the internet in the room. But it was quickly solved.
I wished I had added on a few more days in Victoria Falls as there is a lot to do. We visited the falls unguided. Taxis are USD 6 each way to most places you may wish to go." See all these reviews: 8n in Zimbabwe
