Very comfortable lodge in a great location.
Walking distance to the Falls on one side and to the shop and restaurants of the town on the other side. Right next to the bank machines and post office.
Friendly and accommodating front desk staff, and good food at the on site restaurant. As in all of the places we ate at in Zimbabwe, service in slow by American and European standards.
Ilala Lodge review
Comfortable accommodation in the centre of Victoria Falls. A close walk to everything.
The transfers from Botswana to Zimbabwe to the hotel and finally to the airport were coordinated seamlessly.
Vic Falls
We were given a free upgrade but unfortunately our room had a tree in front of it, so not much of a view. we could see the spray from the Falls from the hotel - not the room and hear the water.
Visiting Victoria Falls was a breathtakingly spiritual experience. Got soaked to the skin of course!
Then dried off and walked to Zambia and had lunch at the Royal Livingstone Hotel - a beatiful place in a stunning location. Delicious food too!
Lovely stay at Ilala
Ilala was excellent. The service was super and very accommodating, especially for the children. The pool was in great condition and my kids loved it. The quality of the food was outstanding!
The location was perfect -- being able to walk to the Falls was great. There is not much else to "do" in Victoria Falls, but we didn't even need to leave. One should be aware that prices are all in USD throughout, so it was expensive. The sundowner cruise was very nice -- high quality boat, nice staff, ample food and beverage.
We also did a tandem zipline with Wild Horizons, which was super fun.
Lovely spot to take in the Falls
The location is great, the staff was extremely accommodating and helpful and the setting was lovely

A good place to stay.
A little bit quieter than the larger hotels in the area.
Their menu and range of choice has improved since our last visit.
A haven of peace at Victoria Falls
An excellent oasis in the chaotic hinterland of Victoria Falls.
Food very good and rooms quiet and comfortable with the added spectacle of baby warthogs doing heats for the 100m sprint.

Very pleasant and comfortable hotel for a night or two in Vic Falls. Restaurant is good but a bit over priced.
