We stopped at this hotel for drinks on Stanley’s Terrace, the outdoor area with views of Vic Falls Bridge. The hotel has a lot of history and charm, wide open corridors, high ceilings, old paintings of British royalty on the walls. Neat green gardens and of course the view. The public areas were clean, if a little worn, and comfortable... more

Amazing hotel! Great views and comfortable rooms. The space outside is great for relaxing and having some coffee, breakfasts were very luxurious with champagne on offer alongside a large variety of hot and cold buffet foods. Walk to the falls is not far from the hotel, taken by a guide of course due to the large amount of wildlife roaming... more

The public areas of the hotel and the grounds are very nicely kept. It has a fun free-form pool and good (not great) restaurant with patio overlooking the "waterhole". Never saw any animals, which is what they advertise the most. Staff was friendly but not overly-helpful, such as trying to accommodate our group upon arrival. The room was nicely-decorated and... more

We stayed in the Vic Falls for 3 nights. Everything was done to please us. The staff is wonderful, and always reliable, a tremendous quality. The Five O'clock tea is an amazing experience. The gardens are perfectly maintained and the restaurants were by far above our expectations. The rooms are expensive but the restaurants are not. Chic and classy in... more

We enjoyed a half day here, staying for lunch, followed by high tea. The staff were exceptionally courteous and the food was good, in a traditional British way: cucumber and smoked salmon sandwiches, pretty cakes and scones. A lovely experience all round. Even if you can't afford to stay at this hotel, go there for a meal and enjoy a... more

My friends and I took high tea at the Vic Falls Hotel in true colonial style and it was sheer heaven. We ummmed and ahhhed over how many stands to have and decided that two would be perfect which indeed it was. We bargained over who ate what and took in the sights and atmosphere of which there are plenty.... more

The hotel is lovely. The atmosphere is peaceful. The location is great. The Zimbabwean Falls are within an easy walking distance and the Zambian Falls are also within walkind distance (visiting the falls is very simple and no guides are needed). It is a must to visit both sides of the falls and a helicopter ride in order to fully... more

My wife and I just returned from a three week southern Africa vacation. We spent two nights in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. On Saturday, the 4th of July, 2009 with the intention of having lunch at the Victoria Falls Hotel, my wife and I walked over to the hotel from the Ilala Lodge nearby where we were staying. The Vic Hotel... more

One has to review this hotel with a real sense of perspective. Yes, she is beginning to show her age in places and yes, perhaps a few things could be improved; however given the difficulties the country is finding itself in at the moment, the standards of food, service and finish at the Vic Falls Hotel are truly extraordinary and... more
