Excellent resort for a visit to Victoria Falls and attraction in the surrounding area. Good breakfast. Local tour and transportation booking office. Friendly staff. Very few mosquitoes during daylight hours. Once in room, only had to contend with a few tiny ants and gnats. One downside is that there are no chairs or desk in the room to work on. They also could provide a few more hangers, than the 5 we had. Overall excellent. Would stay again.

Loved it. Great staff. Very friendly and helpful. Only weird thing the WIFI when it came to payment was not working twice in the three days when I needed to pay the tab at the end of the day and they usually couldn’t make change when paying fill, even when using a $20.00 bill. Staff digging in their pockets for change. It was a wonderful place close to the falls. Rooms were very good wish they had a fridge

The room was very comfortable, despite the spiders! There is no TV or fridge, but I managed. The only difficulty I encountered was with the staff and being charged twice for a transfer. The hotel said it was a miscommunication but didn't seem to know the general rule whereby the hotel bears the cost of that. They tried to offload it to me. But ultimately relented. It left a sour taste. The breakfast was good. The pool is very nice.

Overall was good, but the food service is very slow. We had a tour to Chobe NP, we told the kitchen service that we needed to park breakfast before 7am, but we were waiting and waiting and could not get the food until after 7am. The eggs we had in the box was not cooked enough and one of our people was not feeling well after easing that eggs.

We enjoyed the relaxed feel of this property. It was clean and had a resort feel in pool/bar area. This is not a Marriott type or Victoria Falls Hotel type of property but a good value for the money. Easy walking distance to bridge and other eating establishments.

Good location for the falls and other activities. They were really helpful at organising activities. Outlook from the rooms to the back of the neighbouring properties was unappealing. Not shown like this in the accomodation websites. 2 of each beverage item (tea and coffee) in the room for the cost of the room was very stingy.
