    stunning garden
    nearby wildlife

    It was just a smart choice for taking strolls in Victoria Falls with best value for money ratio. The stunning garden and nearby wildlife made my stay feel special. For a great experience, try to get a room with a view.

    Stunning garden, traditional architecture, captivating colonial history

    With an empty minibar in what should be a luxury room, it feels like a letdown!!! The lack of air-conditioned dining options in the intense heat is truly inconvenient. Check-in delays add unnecessary stress!!!

    A combination of hits and misses

    The hotel offered exclusive VIP lounge access, along with 24hr complimentary drinks and snacks! We participated in amazing activities, making friends with fellow guests and creating cherished memories.

    Breakfast was a huge buffet, yet helicopters buzz overhead from dawn to dusk, creating quite a distraction during meal times!

    A Charming Stay with a Touch of History

    The colonial ambiance is captivating, particularly during afternoon tea. Friendly staff made us feel welcomed. Dining at the Jungle restaurant featured tasty food and an engaging live show. Tip, Request a room away from the train tracks for a quieter night’s sleep.

    Family with children great vibes

    We had an amazing experience with the warm hospitality like no other the staff went all out to make us feel welcome and special. The hotel had stunning gardens with wildlife roaming around which added to the charm and made our stay unforgettable.

    It wasn't exactly affordable but for the quality and service it was still acceptable.

    great breakfast
    limited dining comfort

    The location was perfect, just a short walk to the falls and nearby attractions. I loved the good breakfast buffet and the high tea was a real treat!

    The lack of air-conditioned dining options in the heat was quite inconvenient.

    outstanding service
    varied dining
    meticulously maintained gardens
    unclear check-in

    The staff provided outstanding service, proactively assisting with our needs and making us feel valued. The dining options were excellent, with a delightful variety at breakfast, including freshly prepared dishes and local specialties. The gardens were meticulously maintained, providing a stunning backdrop.

    Check-in times were a bit unclear. leading to unnecessary confusion about room availability.

    The high tea was the highlight for me! Delicious treats and stunning views on the terrace made for an unforgettable experience. One downside was the check-in delay. we had to wait longer than expected for our room. 😊

    Recommended for those seeking old-world charm

    The staff was friendly and attentive, really made us feel special during our stay, especially when they offered us complimentary drinks at the bar. Our room had this vintage decor that felt like stepping back in time, which was a perfect match for the whole experience.

    It wasn’t exactly affordable, but for the charm it offered, I’d say it was alright.

    comfy bed
    great shower
    thick towels
    tired room
    flooding shower

    We stayed in a Deluxe Suite. The bed was super comfy, which is a must! The shower was great too, and the thick towels were a nice touch. The room had a charming vibe with cool furniture and netting around the bed. It felt like we were staying in a little slice of history. But, it could use some sprucing up. it felt a bit tired, and we had issues with the toilet and shower flooding at times.

    The atmosphere is historic and beautifully designed. I enjoyed exceptional afternoon tea. Views of the falls were spectacular. The staff provided excellent service and were well trained. The colonial style adds charm.

    high tea
    delicious cocktails
    fresh breakfast buffet
    underwhelming fitness facility
    frustrating check-in process

    Dive into the high tea—those lil' treats are pure magic! And don’t sleep on the cocktails by the bar, especially the mango and chili delight—seriously bomb flavors! Plus, the breakfast buffet was packed with fresh options, giving us the fuel we needed for exploring the falls.

    On the flip side, the fitness room left a bit to be desired—not quite the luxe vibes you'd expect. Also, the check-in process had us waiting a bit, which was a tad frustrating.
