Really nice lodge in Victoria Falls - Recommended
Very nice lodge in Victoria Falls. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly, the rooms were nice, with a big bathroom, and the gardens and general ambience were lovely. The only thing we could possibly criticise slightly are the restaurant, which doesn't offer a lot of choice - but that probably reflects the limitations of a relatively small lodge versus a big hotel.

Batonka Lodge was a wonderful experience- the staff was welcoming and attentive. The food was so good ! I would stay here again in a heartbeat. The chef was just awesome - I just can’t say enough good about this place.

Well maintained property. I guess because guests were few at this time of the year, breakfast options were super limited. All ala carte with just two options - english breakfast or omelet.

Absolutely amazing property! The service is the absolute best, the staff is so friendly. The chef makes the best meals ever, so make sure to book dinner reservations. All of the activities the recommend are only the best ones (ie Pure Africa). I can’t recommend this place enough. Also, make sure to ask Tafadzwa for one of his Cappuccino… he placed 3rd as a Barista and makes top level coffee drinks.

Marshal, Manchester,UK

It was a very nice place, great customer service from all of the staff and they were always willing to assist when ever they can. The rooms are very nice and were very clean. The place itself is well maintained, it’s actually worthy the stay. However, I would suggest they increase their TV channels and allow for people to have a bit of variety also on the dinner and breakfast

pretty and comfortable hotel
We stayed for 3 nights. We enjoyed Victoria Falls trecking, sunset cruise and 1 day for Chobe day trip. It is very good location for those activities. Hotel is very pretty and services are perfect. Very good for family to stay.
