"Victoria Falls Hotel review"
2 nights Arrived 13 Jul 2017
"Was concerned it would be faded grandeur at the hotel, but this was unfounded: despite Zimbabwe's problems, the hotel is superbly maintained, with great facilities and friendly staff. Great location to be able to walk to the Falls & gorge swing activities and see the spray every day, while the hotel pool complex was a little gem. Food in the hotel appeared a little expensive, until I saw that prices "outside" in Vic Falls are also high."

"Victoria Falls Hotel review"
2 nights Arrived 15 Jun 2017
"The staff were very helpful but subdued compared with our last visit 6 years ago.
I gather Mr Mugabe is now taking a slice of the takings and guest numbers have slumped badly - we were asked to encourage people to visit. It was a shame to see a great hotel struggling against increasing odds but despite all managing to maintain its excellence." See all these reviews: 11n in Zambia; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Victoria Falls Hotel review"
2 nights Arrived 20 May 2017
"Super setting, colonial grandeur. base rooms very old fashioned but comfortable. Stable block rooms better.
The vast majority of the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. Just one of the terrace staff was a bit grumpy.
The Livingstone Room offered excellent food and polished service." See all these reviews: 10n in Zimbabwe

"Just loved it. Super location, ambiance and service. There are few hotels like this left on the planet.
Those who know the E & O Hotel in Penang, or Las Mananitas in Cuernavaca will know what I mean.
Would love to return." See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe
