Large well maintained grounds. Reception Staff was very attentive. Joseph was especially kind and helpful. Room was small but offered great views Ann was comfortable for two. Lee, dining room host was wonderful. Shuttle service was a bonus to get to and from various locations. Victor from Heritage booked several activities and cabs for us. He was always available to assist. On-site dining was excellent with breakfast buffet included with our booking level. Highly recommend this place.

This hotel is fantastic if you love nature . It is outstanding . Hippo grazing outside our hotel window, we saw meerkat , warthog , buffalo, deer and baboons all in the hotel grounds at evening and night , this property is not fenced off the animals come to you . The bar closes at 10pm so you are back in your room soon after , there is a shop but it only sells trinkets and clothing stuff , I saw toothpaste but that was all , nothing of any kind to eat or drink , no bottled water , no crisps or snacks , if you want bottled water you pay at the bar , the food is not very good . We are vegetarian and what we got was horrible , over cooked pasta and all the stuff on the buffet was help yourself but nothing I ate was nice and it’s a fortune . We were £60 for the two of us and we ate chocolate in our room as soon as we got back . The restaurant is also outside and rather dark with insects going about which is expected so why they done have the seating inside is something I don’t understand , but the nature beats the food easily at this hotel

Very quiet location during low season but staff excellent and excellent in terms of recommendations and arranging various outings. Restaurant is located overlooking the River in an outdoor setting. Food was good and plentiful. I’d recommend the hotel as a ‘Value for Money’ stay while in Victoria Falls

Not good quality of service or tooms
Slow service. Activities we were told via messages on Hotels.com that were booked for us in advance, we’re not actually booked and prices quoted were wrong. Tried to put us in rooms of less quality than what we pre paid for. Room had missing refrigerator, melted hair dryer, non working phone & reeked of cigarette smoke.

Good location and staff. Beds not so much...
The staff was very helpful even switching us to a new room when a chain-smoking, cancer-in-waiting person checked in to the room next door and spent his holiday on the shared balcony keeping big tobacco in business. The grounds are well maintained. The location is very good relative to Victoria Falls and Zambezi National Park. The staff did, however, leave the lights on every time they cleaned the room. Thus the eco-friendly rating of a 3. The bed was very uncomfortable. It was simply too small for 2 people to sleep comfortably. Make sure to book breakfast when booking the hotel unless you like paying $30/person for french toast, eggs, and bacon.

The property is beautiful. Neat, clean rooms and the staff are very nice. My only bane would be that the shower in the room I stayed in didn't have a soap holder. It broke and I don't think they've bothered to fix it. Had a great stay, still.
