"Stunning hotel"

10.0

Stunning hotel with amazing views of the water’s edge. Staff fantastic made us feel really welcome Food stunning and staff in dinning room were so lovely. Even better were the unexpected guests from the Wort hogs chewing the grass around the site to the amazing visit from the elephant family every day!! My only slight concern is the lack of handrails on steps down to our room which were quite steep .

"Beautiful place with attentive, cordial staff"

10.0

Lovely location on the Zambezi River a bit upstream from Victoria Falls. Very nice rooms, all facing toward the river with a view through trees. Beautiful grounds. Cordial staff throughout. Rooms have either a balcony or open to a terrace on the lawn. Didn't use the pool, which is long but very narrow. Along with the main restaurant they also have a riverside barbecue-type dining experience. Small things: It would be nice if the bathroom window could be opened. All the pillows on the bed were the same type -- quite thick -- instead of the common offering of two types on the bed.

"Absolute Bliss"

10.0

I don't have enough compliments for this hotel. We stayed for 4 nights and absolutely loved it. Beautiful, quite setting on the Zambezi River, with friendly & helpful staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Spacious, clean and well decorated rooms, with complimentary mini bar and tea/coffee station. We loved all the activities offered by the hotel - Skha was a wealth of knowledge and helped to make all our activities effortless. We loved the Spa, particularly the massages - Thelma and Siza were amazing. The food was also excellent - and Ashley makes a great coffee! The hotel also offers complimentary afternoon tea which we enjoyed. A standout memory was seeing elephants on the property one afternoon - a truly special experience. I really hope we make it back to this wonderful place... and soon!

"Sadly lacking in parts"

8.0

This place needs better management. We started off being allocated a ground floor room which was ideal except it was for disadvantaged people and so the bed was only a foot off the ground. We were quickly moved but only after we’d started unpacking. The turn down was poorly executed with none of the wet towels replaced. The bed was made up in the morning but the bottom sheet hadn’t been smoothed out nor the bed made particularly well. We requested an iron and the one we were given had wires breaking through the flex and leaking water. This again was quickly replaced but perhaps we shouldn’t have had it in the first place! Breakfast was good. Still waiting on reviewing the evening meal. We went to their sister hotel in Victoria Falls village for dinner. It was awful. My fillet steak was tough with gristle I had a fish ravioli to start with that didn’t taste anywhere near as good as it was described. Would I come back?

"The Palm River Hotel, Victoria Falls"

8.0

Palm River, Victoria Falls was a very nice hotel located right on the banks of the Zambezi River offering beautiful views of the river and the lush green gardens. It is hardly 5 minutes drive from the Victoria Falls Town and about 10 minutes from the Victoria Falls Park Entrance. We stayed at a Deluxe Room and it possessed all modern amenities with a private terrace overlooking the gardens and the Zambezi River. Breakfast was nice but there is lot of room for improvement. Similarly, complimentary afternoon tea offered to all guests needs improvement in quality as well as variety. The 2 hour sunset Ra-ikane River Cruise was outstanding and a must-to-do as you will not be finding a better Hippo-watching opportunity anywhere and from so close. Though Whale watching is available at lots of places but watching Hippos walking, swimming, playing and having fun in the Zambezi River was a unique experience. Complimentary Shuttle offered by the hotel to the Victoria Falls Town and the Victoria Falls Entrance was a great service. Thanks to Josefina for offering a very special 'agents rate' for our stay. Thanks also to the staff at the reception for arranging taxi/driver (James) for our visit to Victoria Falls on the Zambia side as well as the Livingstone Town, Zambia. It made travelling within Victoria Falls City as well as across the border extremely convenient. Overall stay at the hotel was very nice and we highly recommend it for stay while visiting Victoria Falls.
