The Victoria Falls Hotel

What a beautiful resort. It has an old world charm to it with modern comforts. The rooms were beautiful with all of the amenities. Staff was very kind and professional. Their breakfast was very good with a lot of variety. The view of the falls is breathtaking. It is an easy 10 minute walk to town for shopping and restaurants. It is just across the street from the railway station as well. I highly recommend this resort.

A real colonial type of hotel, with service to match. Club room and private check in made the experience even better, and it was great to have high tea on the terrace. You can see the spray from the falls from the hotel, and the falls are an easy walk from the hotel. You can even walk across the ridge into Zambia in 15 minutes (with a visa) or walk onto “no man’s” land on the bridge as you only need a bridge pass…Id required but not even a passport! The service at the hotel is impeccable and there is an independent activity desk in the hotel who were most helpful. An easy 10 minute walk into the town. It is also right by the railway station so you can watch the great African train journey trains arrive/depart which was a great sight. Overall our stay was outstanding and would recommend a splurge on one of the rooms overlooking the falls bridge view.

After a 10-day safari in Botswana and Zimbabwe, the final night spent at the Victoria Falls Hotel was the cherry on top of a perfect honeymoon! The hotel itself has an old-world charm to it (vintage photos and posters tastefully lining its walls, dark woods and classic furniture, well-maintained courtyards, etc.) without feeling dated. We particularly enjoyed roaming the courtyard in the stable house where our room was located and soaking in the views of the gorges from the swing chairs hanging from old trees. What really caught our attention at the Victoria Falls Hotel, though, was the phenomenal service. The staff did an excellent job anticipating and handling any of our needs, leading us to truly relax and enjoy the moment. We also had the best massages of our lives at their spa and wish we had access to their massages back in our home in Chicago! They also made the end of our honeymoon feel extra special, from their initial congratulations at check in to the many celebratory gifts they gave us (including a room upgrade from a classic room to a stable signature wing room, a bottle of champagne and chocolate truffles waiting for us with a handwritten note in our room, a complimentary couples massage and cocktails). Special shoutouts to Edson, Priscillar and Samson, who were incredibly warm, welcoming and helpful during our stay. We would absolutely stay again should we ever be back in Zimbabwe!

We had such a wonderful time! Sharon and Edson took incredible care of us. What a beautiful place!

As far as bucket list trips go - this is up there! The hotel is amazing, location is the best - the terrace overlooking the bridge and edge of falls is just incredible. The hotel has kept it's traditional colonial style and this is part of the experience and charm and I am glad they have not succumbed to going down a modern theme. The extra touches such as the doorman and bell boy's being in safari uniform really sets the tone for the stay. Food great, service amazing, beds super comfy. location excellent - will definitely return and recommend it to future clients. Only regret, was we ran out of time and would have loved to have experienced the high tea on the terrace. We used the tour company based in reception for our experiences whilst there and will complete a separate review as these were also excellent.
