The Victoria Falls Hotel

Simply, the best hotel we have ever stayed. The room and grounds were delightful and the view from the terrace to the railway bridge and the spray of the Falls was unforgettable. The staff were superb - always present, but never in your face and only too happy to help - formal but with impersonal African hospitality. The history around the hotel was wonderful and so interesting just to wander and look.

Nothing at all!!

Fabulous mix of African history and luxury

Noise in room next door to 147

The setting is gorgeous and the swimming pool area fabulous . Close to the town and park entrance We stayed 3 nights/ 4 days and really enjoyed our time . Sadly we were not aware until our last day of some of the 5 star amenities the hotel offers such as free drinks in the mini bar / drying of wet clothes / extra water for the room at no charge etc.. but this did not retract from the beautiful time we had

I was incredibly impressed with the experience I had at the Victoria Falls Hotel-- I love historic hotels and have stayed in many in Europe and North America, but this hotel is truly a unique gem-- this hotel runs exceptionally well, and the staff truly took care to extend genuine hospitality to me during my four day stay. The food was terrific- the terrace was an incredible place to enjoy breakfast- as well as lunch and dinner, and the not to be missed afternoon tea. The hotel showcases original vintage travel posters and other artifacts that tell the story of the hotel and the history it is a part of. Truly a beautiful place and the team at the Victoria Falls Hotel are tops! I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to meet them and enjoy the experience the hotel offers. I can't wait to return!

Everything about this hotel is incredible! Absolutely stunning! Staff were so wonderful, so polite and helpful! Desperate to book another trip back one day!

On the plus side the grounds are beautiful and we saw a number of warthogs join us on the back lawn. The hotel clearly is trying to capture a colonial world now gone. Service was invariably excellent. However - the hotel now suffers from being directly in the noise corridor of the constant helicopter tours. It’s really unbearable from 7am until 5pm. Plus sad to say the our room suffered from a dinginess - worn carpets and more. The location is great but don’t walk to the falls unless you want to be accosted by hordes of street vendors. Take a car anywhere.

Our travel agent found this jewel for us and we are so grateful it was a highlight among many while in Africa!

Location and staff attention Magnificent hotel

Food quality was poor, a bit unexpected from this high level hotel.
