Amazing Staff, not so amazing shower.

Our visit to Victoria Falls was beautiful as always. The location to the downtown attractions was perfect, we walked most of our trips. The staff at the Rainbow Hotel were all very friendly and welcoming and were there to help us with all of our questions and needs with a smile on their faces. The only thing I was not 100% pleased with was our shower. There was barely a trickle and no door on the shower, so water went everywhere when you showered and it took awhile with no pressure. Overall, we are very pleased with our stay and would most definitely return. Thank you Rainbow Hotel for a great week.

Room - no shower door, broken door handles, no safe or mini bar that was advertised . Need to walk through area with any homeless men who harassed you for money or other so no going out at night safely.Meals took 30 to 45 minutes even when only person in the restaurant. The place is dated and does not deserve a 3 star. Other than that some of the staff were great if you tipped them well .
