We loved our third stay in this gorgeous, beautifully maintained historic hotel. We were so thrilled to be given a stunning suite with bridge and garden views. Our breakfast location under thatch at Jungle Junction was lovely, the food delicious. Lunch and dinners on the terrace were a treat. The staff were absolutely charming and helpful. Visiting the falls by taxi was very easy and arranged by the travel desk. We noticed that the upkeep of the hotel and beautiful grounds was excellent. We would love to stay here again and would absolutely recommend it.

Exceeded expectations in every way - all the attention to details and friendly staff were very much appreciated. Food and cocktails on the terrace delightful, along with the iconic views of the mist from falls and bridge across the way!

Old world charm and luxury on expansive grounds. Staff were friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. Frankly, apart from the Falls themselves, there isn’t much to do in the area so you may as well treat yourself. We had 2 nights here and could have easily stayed another 2. Eating and drinking options were varied. Funnily enough, a Singapore Sling was cheaper and better than Raffles, the home of the Singapore Sling. I’d definitely stay here again.

Form the minute I arrived I was well looked after and made to feel special. I’m a solo traveler and usually get rooms out of the way but not on this break I received a room upgrade with views of the Zambezi and the bridge. I ate twice at the Stanley restaurant which was very pleasant and the staff very attentive. I returned because of the amazing piano accompaniment throughout the meal, the setting was perfect. My only disappointment was the menu hadn’t changed but there were 3 choices for the main course, the beef fillet was beautiful. Lunch on the terrace is spectacular as again the views of the bridge and the most from the falls was amazing. If you want a Hiltonesk hotel this may not be for you but if you enjoy character and something from another era this is the place to stay

I stayed in this hotel 40 years ago and loved it! I felt the same recently. Its an old colonial hotel with modern touches. When my husband & I decided to visit Africa, I knew I had to show him The Victoria Falls Hotel. The rooms are beautiful and very clean. The food was excellent, buffet breakfast has several choices of hot & cold dishes, meats, fruit, cereal, breads and more. The staff were friendly & helpful. It is within walking distance to the town. The swimming pool is a lovely place to relax after a busy morning exploring the falls.
