The service during breakfast was not good at all. We waited for 10-15 mins to finally be served - even then it was with intervention. Servers were busy and were not coordinated. We had stayed here 2 times in the last 2 years and the poor service level was pretty consistent.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The room did not have a TV. There were no vending machines on the facility so the only way to get a soda is when the bar is open. The area between the airport and the town was OK. The town itself was not bad - I never felt unsafe - there were cops patrolling. As you walk towards the VF bridge, it looks like a garbage dump and stinks of sewage / The Zambia side was better. As a walker you were constantly accosted to buy this or that nicknack or hire a taxi, sometimes these guys would stikc with you for 5 minutes. Customs was always very professional. The room had skeeter curtains, they were marginally affective, make sure you spray yourself against skeets. (I think I picked up malaria). When you pay for an attraction (heli-ride, rainforest, etc) you are safe. Recommend staying on the Zambia side, I will never return to this dump (literally)

Very central and easy access to brewery, distillery, craft markets, central town and even easy walk to the falls. It’s a large site with many rooms, breakfast can be full but always lots of food and good service.

Excellent resort for a visit to Victoria Falls and attraction in the surrounding area. Good breakfast. Local tour and transportation booking office. Friendly staff. Very few mosquitoes during daylight hours. Once in room, only had to contend with a few tiny ants and gnats. One downside is that there are no chairs or desk in the room to work on. They also could provide a few more hangers, than the 5 we had. Overall excellent. Would stay again.

Loved it. Great staff. Very friendly and helpful. Only weird thing the WIFI when it came to payment was not working twice in the three days when I needed to pay the tab at the end of the day and they usually couldn’t make change when paying fill, even when using a $20.00 bill. Staff digging in their pockets for change. It was a wonderful place close to the falls. Rooms were very good wish they had a fridge
