The property was once probably beautiful but they have not maintained it. Our room had filthy old carpets coming up from the floor. The bathroom was possibly not dirty but so worn and stained and marked up it felt dirty. I’d say they have not replaced anything but the couches and curtains which do look new but the walls need paint the baseboards are filthy. Worst of anll we found excrement ” on the stairway going to our second floor room and it was still there as we passed it 4 times. No idea how it even got there. And the staff gives the pretense of service in some cases but doesn’t really provided . Some staff seemed to care less. I couldn’t even get change to pay taxi driver and they didn’t seem to care. The food was pretty ordinary. I really fe sad about writing this as it could be beautiful if refurbished and staff trained.

A wonderful hotel with great views and a lovely team. Unfortunately it’s lost its 5 star edge since I was last there and is very much run like a 4 star. Still worth staying for the old world style.

We didn't stay long but really appreciated the Victoria Falls Hotel for its beautiful rooms and overall facility. Great afternoon tea (delicious) and breakfast buffet. Enjoyed seeing the wildlife cavorting on their lawn. Location was perfect for visiting the falls.

Location, location, location!!! Perfect location for the falls. Great buffet and dinner show. Nostalgia everywhere. You feel you have gone back in time. Downside: the hotel needs some updating, but the lack of tourism during COVID hurt all the hotels in the area. Still beautiful location and hotel.

We book the Vic Falls hotel fir a big if luxury at the end of our trip. To be honest, it was just ok. While it’s a beautifully maintained historic hotel, we paid a fortune for average service. Little things like the mini bar & water/coffee weren’t restocked during our stay. The food was very average. We had a much more luxurious stay at Ilala Lodge across the road at the start of the trip with fabulous food and service. Save your money by booking elsewhere and go to Vic Falls hotel for high tea.
