Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The property itself was very good (food, staff, rooms, etc), however the location did not match what was given by Expedia. The hotel was described as being a 15 minute walk from the Falls. However, it is a full five kilometers along a road that is not safe for pedestrians. Furthermore, the map provided by Expedia for the listing suggested it was on the outskirts of town and near bars and restaurants. That was clearly not the case.

I was double charged for my stay and had to have an extensive discussion as to their accounting error. When they finally admitted they were wrong they just said that’s the way it goes in Africa. The staff service was horrible at the front desk and restaurant and all the above ruined our stay

Beautiful property, with spacious clean rooms equppied with rain shower and mini fridge kept well stocked with water. Large pool, outdoor dining 3 meals/day. Shuttle to falls and shopping center was very convenient, and airport pickup for $15 pp helpful. Food was very good though they were often out of stock (bananas, avocado, sparkling water, sparkling wine). Multiple power outages meant wifi was often out. Would like a water dispenser at the pool.

We had a quick two day stay so we could enjoy Victoria Falls. The staff were wonderful, location was great, the property was very peaceful. We truly enjoyed our experience. The only tiny recommendation we would have is for the wonderful dinner experience, possibly add a few more choices for those that are lactose intolerant. The ambience at dinner was beautiful. We truly enjoyed our short stay.

Excellent choice in Vic Falls

A new-ish hotel just outside town that exceeded expectations. The staff are super friendly and eager to help. The rooms are large, very comfortable and well equipped. The restaurant and bar have smaller menus (could be since it was not busy while we were visiting) but everything was well prepared, looked good and was delicious. We had a great 3-night stay and highly recommend.
