Hotellit lähellä Victoria Falls

Plussat: Location and setting/environment was excellent. The closest hotel to Victoria Falls, it was just a short walk to the park. Staff was professional and excellent! They remembered us and greeted us by name each time they saw us. They were very helpful in giving suggestions and advice on things to do and were happy to make all arrangements for us.

Miinukset: Rooms were average. For the price I would have expected a higher quality room.

Plussat: Food was delicious, the lodge was simple and peaceful. Perfect location and walking distance to everything. Pool area was nice and perfect size. Rooms were clean. Manager was helpful with our requests and problems. Highly recommend staying here

Miinukset: Small things but nothing to fuss over

Plussat: The grounds are gorgeous and in an excellent location. Just a 10 minute walk to the falls and the mist within sight from each balcony. The food was tasty and a bit extraordinary in pairing. Service was very attentive, but not overbearing. Room was luxurious. All said, I'd gladly stay here again.

Miinukset: Dinner was a bit pricey for the serving sizes. Water was expensive at $3 for .75 liters.

Plussat: Good value for the money.

Miinukset: The closest hotel to the Victoria Falls, less than 10 minutes walk.

Plussat: Great location in town and only a few minutes from the falls. Very helpful & friendly staff who can help arrange various activities. Animals roam the grounds in front of the bedrooms. Excellent restaurant and bar food. Overall a really enjoyable stay.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Ilala Lodge was perfectly situated at a 20 minute walk to the entrance of the Victoria Falls Reserve. The hotel layout was perfect with terraces for outdoor dining and if preferred indoor option. The meals were varied and locally sourced produce and breakfast options were a highlight. The staff were exceptionally welcoming and provided outstanding friendly service. The guest services connected us with a wide variety of outdoor activities. The dinner cruise is a must for awesome views of Zambezei river and the hippos …..60 at least a highlight. However the Victoria Falls in both morning and evening provided the reason to visit ...spectacular views from 16 vantage points …...rainbows and rainforest mist unbelievable.

Miinukset: The backup generator was noisy so stay away from rooms in immediate vicinity. We had #48 a longer walk but quiet. Additional deck chairs near pool would have been helpful . Very aggressive street salespeople made wandering outside the hotel uncomfortable, no fault of hotel but a negative and part of Zimbabwe's reality.

Plussat: grounds are beautiful. pool is great

Miinukset: no view from room

Plussat: Ilala was a beautiful place to call home for a few days in between adventures and camping. I really enjoyed all that it had to offer: amazing chefs who catered to my vegan diet, pools and lounging, proximity to the Falls. It was exactly what I needed to revive and re-fuel for my next journey. The property itself, is well maintained and gorgeous. Thanks to the fantastic staff who chatted with me as much as I wanted and took the time to go the extra mile, making my stay great. Will definitely visit again one day.

Plussat: Friendly staff and the buffet breakfast.

Miinukset: Not having iron in the room taking into consideration that the room was executive suite!

Plussat: Nice rooms but they don't have a view to the water hole, just to the bush. Friendly staff.

Miinukset: Breakfast service extremely slow. No massage was available in the afternoon. Overall I would say that not worth the cost, with the money paid you should get more.

Plussat: Amazing location. Laundry done complimentary.

Miinukset: Bed a little hard

Plussat: Culture vulture talk was brilliant, staff in the Club were friendly and accommodating and room was beautiful with a great balcony view and animal sightings and view over the national park were amazing! Food in restaurants was delicious.

Miinukset: Hotel transfer to Vic Falls airport was more expensive than getting a taxi - not value for money. Felt like we were expected to pay premium just because we were staying there, an expectation that we had lots of money therefore could afford to pay more.

Plussat: We loved it - staff were all so wonderful- engaging, smart, intelligent, helpful and keen to make our stay perfect, which it was. All of the extras blew us away - sunscreen, insect repellent, Nespresso machine, complimentary mini bar, beautiful delicate wine glasses .... . The bed looked straight out to the National Park - what a way to wake up! Bathroom was as large as the bedroom! Incredible. Gorgeous pool overlooking a watering hole. The team had our every need catered for.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: luxuary atmosphere. The reception manager remember your name and super hospitality

Miinukset: Nothings.

Miinukset: I asked for a special note of my partner's birthday and if the property could provide or do anything special to mark the day. I got a response that all the staff had been notified. However, when we arrived and right through to the end of the trip there was no acknowledgement by any of the staff.

Plussat: The staff members are very nice and helpful.

Miinukset: All the activities are paid in dollars and have to be scheduled in advance.

Plussat: The resort was great and had a host of complimentary services. Included were Wi-Fi, laundry, breakfast and mini bar. The view from the room was breathtaking. The staff was very professional, pleasant and accommodating.

Miinukset: The food was good, but not great. But I'm a picky eater.

Plussat: Stunning views, great food, very comfortable room, excellent facilities, friendly staff

Miinukset: A very minor gripe- sometimes things were not replenished without asking - eg water in room, glasses for water in fitness centre, pool towels. But nothing apart from that. It’s a lovely place to stay and we would certainly return.

Plussat: The suite faces the bush but unfortunately there are many monkeys so it is not very safe to sit outside.

Miinukset: The bedrooms are small, both the master bedroom and the second bedroom. The layout of the rooms also not good, because of the split level. It is not suitable for family with young kids or person with limited mobility.

Plussat: Food was amazing. Staff were awesome - very helpful. Loved the 'make your own bloody mary' at the breakfast buffet.

Miinukset: that we only stayed for 2 nights. would have loved to stay longer

Plussat: Great service. Excellent views

Plussat: It’s a nice property especially that it’s a walking distance to the falls

Miinukset: Facilities...I guess I was over expecting coz I was really disappointed when I got in my room...there’s JUST basic amenities

Plussat: Amazing hotel. Bueatifully designed, knowledgable staff, great food and then the nature side is perfect. Zebras, Impalas, Giraffes & Monkeys are present on the grounds for an amazing family feel. Free entry to Victoria Falls too.

Miinukset: Everything was great. Little pricey, but once you are there, food and attractions are affordable. Definitely coming back to this hotel.

Plussat: The staff were some of the kindest most welcoming people I have ever encountered in my life and I cannot sing their praises enough

Miinukset: only the cost

Plussat: OK --- not spectacular

Miinukset: Very light lunch with only sandwiches and salads available. Dinner and breakfast are great though.

Plussat: Excellent overall! We would go back anytime. The staff, the location, the pool, the room, bathroom. Everything was excellent.

Miinukset: The only slight issue was that the bathroom is not separated from the bedroom, so sometimes can be a bit uncomfortable. Everything else was excellent

Plussat: This is a beautiful lodge on the outskirts of Victoria Falls but only a short $5 taxi ride in to town. What makes this place so special are the staff....rarely on our travels have we received such outstanding service which made our stay that extra bit special!

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: the rooms - atmosphere - hospitality - breakfast all very good

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: It was the perfect place to stay—low-key, nicely situated, cozy rooms with lovely plantings along the walkways and private places to sit and relax. Wonderful bar and dining room with good food and a beautiful little pool with umbrella tables surrounding it. Staff was super friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: I wouldn’t change a thing!

Plussat: The staff was very generous, kind, congenial and helpful. The gardens are very pretty with a sense of calm and peace away from the tourist area. It is wonderful to eat the meals looking out on the gardens and the pool. The food was wonderful.

Miinukset: Victoria Falls and the rest of Zimbabwe do not have enough electricity for the country so there are rolling power outages. However the lodge has a back-up generator that they use when needed.

Plussat: nice little room with a bathroom secluded from the swimming pool area. low season so very quiet. close to the centre easy walk. good place to go to

Plussat: The pool, the outdoors, the gardens, the long indigenous trees, the unique independent rooms. Plenty resting area. Stayed in Hornbill, really nice made me feel like I was in a safari area

Miinukset: Can't think of anything that I didn't like

Plussat: So peaceful, lovely place to spend time relaxing. Great staff. My 7 year old son loved it too.

Miinukset: Bit far from town so we took taxis all the time. Made overall stay a bit more expensive, but other than that, wasn’t too much of a problem as they’ve lovely drivers that are reliable and trustworthy.

Plussat: Food was very good.

Miinukset: Not very comfortable mattress in bunk room upstairs.

Plussat: The hostess, she was very helpful, I had a problem with my broken cell phone and she was more than delighted to help me out with my calls and messages to the different tours that I had previously arranged for my trip. Her name is Blessing!

Plussat: The garden and relaxation areas were fantastic. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Relaxed place to chill and hang out.

Miinukset: Unfortunately no free WiFi. Only take cash.

Plussat: Should have a door for toilet for hygiene and privacy. Shower tiles too slippery. They should replace hand soap. Room standard needs improvements.

Miinukset: Toilets without doors

Miinukset: It wasn’t possible to book for two more people after the booking. The facility didn’t accept creditcard

Plussat: Comfortable bed. Pleasant staff. Good location. Quiet area. Lockers to store your bags.

Miinukset: Controlling the shower's hot water temperature is quirky, but it worked if you follow the instructions located in the bathroom.

Plussat: It is budget friendly and close to the Falls

Plussat: Comfy bed, good aircon, good tour arranging, excellent pool, 2 bottles of free water a day

Miinukset: No free shuttle into town as advertised making the location less than ideal.

Plussat: Breakfast excellent, staff very kind and efficient. The venue is very calm

Miinukset: I see nothing that could have been better

Plussat: The atmosphere was great

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Nice Staff. Nice swimmingpool. Clean rooms, comf. bed.

Miinukset: Prices in the restaurant quit high.

Plussat: Very helpful staff, good restaurant, parking near the room

Miinukset: Asked to pay by cash, which was inconvenient

Plussat: Clean quiet with great pool a restaurant

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: -The hotel and its grounds are beautiful and really impressively decorated, including a giant Christmas tree in the lobby. The large pool area is large and gorgeous. And the maintenance workers are very friendly. Our room was clean but dimly lit, with a nice balcony, fridge, and safe. - The bellman, Agripa, was very polite and professional in helping us to our room and helping with our luggage upon check-in/check-out - The spa was really nice and accommodating (they also do after-hours treatments), and the therapists named Lindy and Leti gave us the most amazing foot massages! - We liked the nice turn-down service, which included the setup of the mosquito/insect net.

Miinukset: - No AC and no extra water in extreme heat. It was nearly 40-degree Celsius when we checked in, yet the AC wasn’t working (due to Zim’s rolling power cuts) and our ceiling fan’s control string was broken -- so we had a VERY hard time cooling off in the extreme heat. Worst of all, after baking in this heat all night and losing water from constant sweating, when we asked for extra water at the front desk the next morning, they and their housekeeping staff refused and told us to buy some; we explained we’d paid extra money for this hotel (as opposed to cheaper ones in the area) due to the fact that it had advertised AC. So when this hotel couldn’t deliver on a service they’d advertised, their refusal to offer a remedy as simple as extra drinking water showed they don’t care about their customers’ well being -- only their own profits. - Breakfast had lots of options, but probably half of them were covered in flies (including chopped fruit, yogurt, and other wet food at room temperature). We couldn’t enjoy these things out of fear of getting sick.

Plussat: Wonderful staff! Very helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: Lock of elevator in back building. Long time to get food. Prices much to high in comparison with worldwide standards

Plussat: Very nice hotel and staff.

Miinukset: Expensive, casino wasn’t very impressive.

Plussat: Location. Breakfast was plentiful. Swimming great for kids.

Miinukset: Housekeeping average. No tissues in room and only 2 towels initially for the 4 of us. Had to ask 3 times to get. Only one roll of toilet paper!

Plussat: Location was superb

Miinukset: The food could be better but it is a great place to stay in Victoria Falls. I will book again with them.

Plussat: Nice location

Miinukset: Air conditioning flooded one of our rooms

Plussat: Food was good and rooms were clean too.

Miinukset: Accounts staff is very disorganised or incompitent so to speak,l cleared my bill before my parents travelled and actually cleared with Stella Zvidi,only to be embrassed on checking out that there were oustanding payments....they had to wait for more than an hour for clearance. To make it worse they were made to top up on drinks which l had paid for more than a month in advance. Accounts need to put all customer files in order than to inconvinience guests its very embassing.

Plussat: The breakfast options and location. The check-in staff.

Miinukset: The quality of the room, it was VERY tired and old fashioned. The furniture was broken or badly scuffed. The room's air conditioning switched off when your took your room key out and locked up! The poor attention by the outside restaurant staff, they walked past and left rubbish on the ground around the tables. This was made worse by the fact that they were not busy!

Plussat: Very friendly staff, made us very welcome. Good location easy to get transport to places to visit, all in all an excellent stay.

Miinukset: Didn’t like the rates being different. Think we were overcharged.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Warm welcoming place!

Miinukset: Food prices

Plussat: The staff were extremely helpful and friendly. The accommodation was comfortable and everyone was prepared to do their best to make our holiday special.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Everyone who works there are friendly and engaging. Nothing was too much trouble. Thoroughly enjoyable stay.

Miinukset: Did not dislike anything,

Plussat: Pamusha Lodge is beautiful and comfortable. The staff is very kind, helpful and competent. We enjoyed a fabulous dinner cooked right at the lodge and one of the best complementary breakfasts we have ever experienced. Loved our stay and recommend this lodge to anyone!

Plussat: Pool

Miinukset: We were told breakfast was included when I paid for my night stay. They never gave me a paper copy. When we checked out they charged for breakfast at $25 usd. Which was not fair

Plussat: staff is very kind and helpful.. hospitality is v good

Plussat: The lady at the front desk was very nice to upgrade us to a 2nd level nicer room because we were on our honeymoon. The live music was really good. The place was always clean, and the cleaners did a good job in the room. The room, bed and bathroom were very nice!

Miinukset: REALLY DISLIKED THE SERVICE WHEN IT CAME TO OUR BILL AT THE END. We were told that breakfast was included, I even clarified to make sure. Guess what happens at the end of our breakfast (a very small limit breakfast) we get a lovely bill of 30 USD. We tried arguing with them and they held firm, I thought it was incredibly bad service to argue something this small and not offer a refund. I was really not impressed. The room also smelled like asphalt because roofing was being done. How lovely it is to be woken up in the middle of our sleep due to incredibly loud banging and slamming of concrete above our heads and to be inhaling toxic fumes during the morning.

Plussat: Room was excellent quality for the price, staff were very accomodating! and great location for the Falls

Plussat: Room was clean and pleasant, location quite good for the centre of town. Staff were all helpful and pleasant

Miinukset: Bar shut at 10:30pm. Original Room price was very expensive but turned out reasonable when I claimed my price Match.

Plussat: Lovely pool area

Miinukset: High cost of meals

Plussat: Rooms clean, tidy and comfortable. Close to the centre with easy access to the amazing Falls, shops and places to eat.

Plussat: Staff always had a smile

Miinukset: When we booked the room we asked for a first floor room and did not get one but was promised to be moved but they did not Room was shabby, patio doors rattled, fridge made a noise and the en suite was very tired. Also they tried to charge 160 $ American for the airport transfer . Reduced it to 80$ after but still felt ripped off.

Plussat: Hotelli on niin lähellä putouksia, että menimme kansallispuistoon kävellen. N1:n vieressä on iso taiteilijoitten tori, vastapäätä uudehko panimoravintola ja lähellä suosittu ravintola Kolme apinaa. Talossa on matkatoimisto, jonka avulla hotelli järjesti meille kuljetuksen lentokentältä. Lähistöllä sijaitsee muitakin myymälöitä, Victoria Fallsin posti, pankkeja sekä Totalin huoltoasema, jolta lähti paluubussimme Namibian Windhoekiin ( 22 tunnin matka). Talossa on oma pikkukauppa ja samalla tontilla, leirintäaluerakennuksen vieressä, uima-allas. ( Mainoskuva vähän vääristää olosuhteita.)

Miinukset: Kahtena ilta kolmesta sattui sähkökatko, mikä teki pienehkön huoneen aika kuumaksi. Tilanne helpottui, kun ilmastointi pelasi jälleen. Talossa ei ole hissiä, mikä teki sen vähän vaikeaksi seitsemänkymppisille matkailijoille. Säilytystilat oat aika vaatimattomat. Aamiainen ei kuulunut hintaan ja 7 US dollarilla sai niin surkean mannermaisen, ettemme kokeilleet sitä toista kertaa. Onneksi lähellä on parempia vaihtoehtoja. Ikkunasta näkyi jokin entinen rakennelma ja muuta sotkua, mutta eihän Victorialle matkusteta ikkunasta tuijottamista varten! Kerrosten päätyparvekkeelta oli paremmat näkymät.

Plussat: It much to like except friendly staff

Miinukset: View from the rooms was such that half the family booked out. Rooms overlooking the camp site were acceptable but on the other side it is a no-no. The generator is not big enough to service the accommodation.

Plussat: Good stuff Excellent location

Miinukset: Breakfast so scarce Not the cheapest hotel

Plussat: Very Very Kindly and friendly staff in hotel. They always help me to solve problem about travel schedule. very good location, 10minutes go to Victoria Falls national park by walk.

Miinukset: Electronic problem during I stay

Plussat: This beautiful house is located in the heart of the town of Victoria Falls. It is one of the very cheapest places to stay naer by this greatest nature experiences of the world. The railway station and a very good beer garden restaurant is not far to walk. This is Zimbabwe. You can feel very happy, to stay in this safe, clean, friendly and phantastic hotel. Thank you for all, what you are doing. You make a very great service. Your crew is wonderful. Thank you again...

Miinukset: Nothing to say.

Plussat: Where to hang clothes was a big challenge the facility should do something about it. Proper lighting for reading is appropriate

Miinukset: See above

Plussat: Location is excellent, with several restaurants and bars in the vicinity. It is about 15 minutes walk to the entrance to the Falls National Park and 20 minutes to the bungee jumping station on the bridge. There are plenty of tourist shops/markets in the vicinity, with a wide range of souvenirs for sale. The reception staff/manager were very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was extra ($7), which I did not eat. The room was compact, but comfortable with en-suite facilities.

Miinukset: The swimming pool was undergoing maintenance and therefore not in use. A notice in the hotel said that alternative arrangements could be made if you wanted a swim.

Plussat: Helpful staff, good location.

Miinukset: Cobweb in one corner of room and cleanliness can be better. Swimming pool is under repair.

Plussat: The setting is remote but beautiful overlooking a gorge. John and staff were great and the chefs prepared delicious meals. This is a very authentic experience for adventurous travelers.

Plussat: The location is fabulous, perched as it is on the edge of the Zambezi Gorge. If you like isolation, atmosphere and great accommodation and food this is for you. Meals good with view overlooking the gorge. Room was bush camp style but with large bed room, mosquito netting over double bed, separate bathroom and enclosed garden courtyard. Staff really helpful and courteous Do take the escorted walk along the top of the gorge and also the rather steep descent /ascent to the river

Plussat: Everything was great, service was good, and I had a great time and experience, apart from the very small parts that I didn't liked.

Miinukset: Communication between staff and customer could be clearer. For eg, the airport shuttle service could be stated more clearly that it comes with an extra charge, and after booking is made and payment collected, they should send a note stating that everything is confirmed (since I received a note stating that Taita will send me a confirmation) but I had to follow up with Taita myself to ask them if my booking is confirmed. They could be more clear and swift on that part.

Plussat: Fantastic location to get away from it all and unwind True African Nature experience Very good staff Great birding spot - although it was drier than expected we very happy with what we set out to find Nice to meet and see owners involved

Plussat: Excellent location! There is a footpath from the back of the hotel grounds that leads to the entrance of the falls. The hotel guard escorts you on the 5 minute walk. Tipping him a few dollars is cheaper than taking the 2 minute taxi ride that will cost you $5, minimum. Along the path is also the Look out cafe, a place that serves food and drinks, but is also the base of the zipline and gorge swing. The food at hotel was excellent, and the formal dining room was relatively cheap with the tasting menu at $45. The service all around was very good.

Miinukset: The rooms need renovations, especially the bathrooms.

Plussat: The room I stayed in was beautifully decorated and the bed was comfortable. The staff was friendly but could use more reception training.

Miinukset: The room was very nice however the amenities did not match the room Also unfortunately, it was located next to the lobby and was very noisy! I heard the reception phone ring constantly and people talking as if they were in my room. The mini bar was empty. For a luxury hotel/ room it should offer a variety of drinks IN the room.

Plussat: Beautiful room! Very relaxed location.

Miinukset: Everything. The staff was also very helpful and nice.
