"Great stay at Victoria Falls Hotel"

2 nights Arrived 14 Aug 2015
"Very nice hotel. Room was lovely with a great view on the garden and the bridge.

Restaurants were good (both Jungle Junction and Linvingstone Room) and not too expensive.

Breakfast was very good as well, with a large choice of food.

Stay in Victoria Falls was interesting - we did the walk around the Falls, which is great. However, the sunset cruise on the Zambezi river is too expensive and without interest" See all these reviews: 6n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"A great colonial experience"

2 nights Arrived 20 Jun 2015
"Frankly a must in my view for someone visiting Victoria Falls and going on to a Safari......amusing that Zimbabwean visas for anyone from Europe costs "only" US$ 30 and yet for Bits it's US$ 55! Regardless of your views re the politics of the country, the staff are great and the colonial experience somewhat unique. Not more than 2 nights....but the a la carte dining experience in the Livingston Room was interesting.

In viiew of the above, I think the lack of coverage of the Hotel in the Bradt guide to Botswana (which has a section on Livingstone which is on the Zambian side of the Falls) was odd......particularly bearing in mind that the guide was otherwise excellent."

"Beautiful Hotel"

2 nights Arrived 8 May 2015
"Enjoyed it very much.

The activities--lion walk, elephant walk, helicopter ride--were great, although at $150 a pop, for the four of us it added up to close to $2,000. Other than the cost, no complaints." See all these reviews: 5n in Botswana; 2n in Zimbabwe

"Recently renovated old school colonial hotel"

1 night Arrived 8 Nov 2014
"It's a predicable choice but a lovely place to end a safari. Hard to go wrong and worth splashing out on a nice room.

Recently seen some renovation work which was well done but still feels authentic. And well run and staffed too." See all these reviews: 5n in Zambia; 4n in Zimbabwe
