The Victoria Falls Hotel

What an amazing property from design, location, grounds and the amazing team. We were blown away from our visit. We were not planning on retuning to Zimbabwe but now we know we are going to and know exactly where to say.

What a privilege to stay at this hotel. Yes it’s a bit shabby - but that is part of the charm. The staff are exceptional - really great service. Room was comfortable and the hotel is spotlessly clean. What surprised us was the great quality of the food - exceptional food both in the Livingstone and the main restaurant.

Our stay at the Victoria Falls Hotel has easily become one of our most memorable travel experiences—and without a doubt, this is now my favourite hotel. From the moment we arrived, the level of service was exceptional. Every single member of staff, from the gardeners to the management team, was exemplary. Everyone went above and beyond to make our stay special, and they are genuinely the politest people I have ever encountered. The hotel itself is stunning. The grounds are immaculate and beautifully maintained, and the property has a wonderful historic charm that adds to the overall experience. We were incredibly fortunate to receive an upgrade, and our room was simply breathtaking, with views over the gorge and Victoria Falls. It truly was a “pinch me” moment. We dined at the hotel most evenings, alternating between the Stanley Terrace and the Livingstone Restaurant, and both were excellent. The food, atmosphere, and service were consistently outstanding. We also arranged several activities through the hotel, and everything was seamless and thoroughly enjoyable. It made exploring the area effortless and stress-free. Honestly, there is nothing I would improve about this hotel. The only disappointment of our entire stay was having to leave. We had such a wonderful time and are already dreaming of returning. Thank you to the entire team for making our stay so special.

We stayed 3 nights here in March 2026. We were delighted with the staff friendliness and efficiency, the service, the cleanliness and attention to detail of the accommodation and the professionalism of all involved in our stay - especially Mr Edson who looked after us so well.

We enjoyed our stay at this historic hotel. Beautiful grounds; nice, well-maintained pool area; excellent breakfast buffet and lunch options. Rooms spacious and clean. We easily walked to the train for appetizers, music, and dinner. We also walked to and from the falls.
