This is an iconic well-run hotel, with friendly staff and comfortable rooms. The grounds are expansive and well maintained. We enjoyed the hotel’s VIP concierge service and received excellent advice and assistance from Edson. Bartender Brendon was professional and personable, and made outstanding Bloody Mary’s. The buffet dinner service was exemplary, having one of the widest selections of foods (especially the meats). The desserts were delicious. We enjoyed the African culture dinner show that accompanied dinner. The buffet breakfast also had a wide variety of choices. We found the High Tea service to be over the top in terms of selection of sandwiches and little desserts. One quibble: the hotel charged $3 for a bottle of water you get free in your room. It detracted from the overall high standards of the hotel. If you are looking for history and character, this is the hotel to stay in when in Victoria Falls.

The Victoria Falls Hotel is a sprawling colonial building that takes you back in time. The location and grounds are beautiful. To my surprise our room was clean and had been redone recently. It was large and gorgeous. Staff and service was exceptional.

Spacious and very comfortable room and lounge. Excellent hygiene everywhere, copious breakfast and dinner (Jungle restaurant) with lots of choices and animation. The hotel is very close by foot or by taxi to the Falls. The service is excellent everywhere.. It is a hotel we would recommand and come back to anytime.

Came in with Odysseys Unlimited group. No furniture for our luggage. Had to get a bench brought into room. Thermostat read 17 celcius but ran warm all night. Next day engineer stated filter was clogged and needed to be cleaned. Bathroom floor very dirty and crumbs on floor...see photo. Asked to have it cleaned resulted in surface cleaning. Breakfast and dinner were good.

Beautiful hotel in the heart of Africa. Feels very British colonial, architecture is beautiful; rooms are nice but small. Stables Lounge for check in was great with canapés and cake in the afternoon. Complimentary massage and cocktail was a nice touch! Loved the pool and on site restaurants. Fitness center left a little to be desired.
