My daughter and I were on the last leg of a wonderful safari and had been lavishly accommodated at four different properties in South Africa and Botswana. Imagine our surprise when we got to our nice but small room - to find only one bottle of water and no mini bar or refrig at all. We could not drink the... More

Arrive on the Rovos train and step straight into this old colonial hotel. It is like going back in time. A really fabulous building with helpful staff. Quite acceptable food in three restaurants. Though unless you have a tie, shirt, jacket and shoes they chuck you out of the main restaurant which is why it is always empty. Smart casual... More

We loved the colonial charm of this hotel. Its full of history and the public rooms are immaculate.Our bedroom was a little 'tired' but clean nonetheless with a fantastic view of the bridge. The mist from the Falls clearly visible. The buffet breakfast and dinner are good at 'Jungle Junction' -lots of choice with helpful staff. The swimming pool is... More

This hotel is absolutely fantastic, it seems to go back in the explorer colonialist period. Perfect location, next to the falls(you can see the spray from the garden), an hotel employee will show you the way and walk with you till the entrance (5 mins). Perfect rooms with mosquito nets, walking in the aisles you will see old colonialist maps... More

This is not a shiny new hotel by any means but the rooms are clean and comfortable, the grounds are beautiful, the pool is excellent and the feeling of stately elegance is delightful. Well worth a visit. More

Our stay here was perfect. The food was excellent, especially the breakfasts where you could eat enough to last you the whole day. Our rooms were ultra clean and had lovely views over the inner courtyard. Sat watching the warthogs and monkeys can't be beaten - and the view is unparalleled. The swimming pool was lovely and clean. Room service... More

Stayed here over New Year for three nights whilst teenagers attended Falls Festival. Fairly pricey, I think we could have stayed at a top Hotel on the Zambian side for a bit less. However this Hotel, although slighted faded and perhaps in need of a little touch up here and there, was very special to stay in. We had a... More

The property is very well-maintained given its long history of existence and the lawn and terrace are amazing with a great colonial flavor, view of the bridge and steam coming from the Falls. It's a very unique place to stay. The room is a bit basic and small, but its quite comfortable, but of course with such a hotel in... More

We have just returned to the truly glorious Victoria Falls Hotel after a break of 12 years. Wow it is still such a magnificent hotel with wonderful 'olde world' service, views that are breathtaking and a warm welcoming feeling that one hardly ever sees these days. We loved every minute of our Christmas stay. We will return and it wont... More
