Katy
Lovely staff, very helpful. Location is excellent with waterfront views. Food menu was average but overall good value for money.
Imogen
A perfectly nice place to stay with friendly staff, clean rooms and a good location. There is a lovely pool, although it's surrounded by lots of tents so not that relaxing. A great bar and genearlly a good hotel to use as a base for various excursions and activities.
Emmanuel
Amazing river view. Staff was amazing. And helpful. And plenty of activities to do
Kevin
Great location. Excellent food. Attentive staff.
Zilose
Had a great experience. Clean rooms, friendly staff, delicious food.
Reesa
The breakfast was outstanding, the rooms were adequate in size and very clean with air conditioning. Staff was incredibly friendly, everywhere you walked you would be greeted with a “Hello” “Good Morning” “How did you sleep?” This place was just fantastic. I don’t want to leave! I heard other people say that same thing too.
Tandi
Great
Joanne
The rooms were very clean. The pool could have been nicer but overall the food and ambiance was fantastic.
Chileshe
Wonderful experience
Thomas
Adjacent to NP - 3 mo old Baby Rino with Mother - guarded by Rangers with AK-47s. Rifgt on the river - old school idyllic. Good breakfast included. Can't beat value.
Michael
A beautiful resort with extremely friendly and helpful staff. Property is conveniently located in Zambia for day trips such as touring Victoria Falls or going on Safari in Botswana.
Ian
Room was spacious and had a great river view with comfortable bed. Generally a nice stay but the bathroom needed a more thorough clean and the soap provided has a very unpleasant odour!
Christopher
This place is a gem. I couldn’t believe how nice the rooms were for the price. Staff is friendly. Food is great. We will definitely come back and stay again.
Tamara
A fantastic place to stay for visiting Victoria Falls! I stayed in one of the rooms within the campsite part of the grounds. It was perfect for what I needed - a comfy bed and a clean private bathroom. The basic rooms don't have TVs but it wasn't missed as I spent most of my time on the riverside patio at the restaurant! Having the Safpar booking office right on site was super convenient. They were able to arrange a trusted taxi driver who provided return transport to the falls, as well as airport transfer. It's probably a bit cheaper finding taxis outside of the hotel, but this was definitely a convenient option. The restaurant was fantastic, especially the pizzas 🍕 I would definitely stay again!!
Alexander
Super location on the Banks of the Zambezi, with spectacular African sunsets as you dine. Great value for money compared to its neighbours! Very friendly attentive staff. Only slight gripe, and it might not have been the Hotels fault was that the WiFi tended to drift in and out. But overall fantastic value for money.
George

Great staff here. They seem really happy to go the extra mile. The tent was great but the Adventure Village room was even better. Lovely grounds but not overly manicured. Good value.

Good Hotel - would use again
We had a good stay at the hotel. Great location on the river. Good food and drink options. Clean and spacious room. Just what we needed and wanted
nthanizi
We really enjoyed the stay? The pictures online don’t do it justice. If you’re looking for average rooms and comfort, this is your place. The desk stuff were a little off but the dining stuff deserves all the praises! Definitely would come back for the food and scenery!

Cannot recommend this enough, cosy comfortable and relaxed vibe. All staff are so friendly - activity centre onsite. Breakfast, lunch dinner overlooking the river. I’d go back in a heartbeat

Reception was good as was the restaurant.

Cory
Good rooms. Fans in tents and AC in room. Good water pressure and hot water in shower. Good food at restaurant and good verity at the included breakfast. A bit noisy before 10:30 on Wed. night and lots of mosquitoes in tents but bug spray was ready to be used in the tents and took care of the problem rapidly.

RATS RATS RATS!
I would not recommend. My room was on the top floor and it looked nice, but that’s where it ends.
The Good: the restaurant food was good and reasonably priced. The restaurant staff were great and so were the front desk staff.
The Bad: I was woken up in the middle of the night when a couple of rats got in my room. They started running around the room and were making noises! I couldn’t go back to sleep, I was too grossed out.
Second, because of the mosquitoes, the staff must have used the entire can of mosquito spray because the smell was so strong, I had a hard time breathing. Maybe other guests who were on the bottom floor had better experience than mine, but I definitely did not have a good experience.

The room was dirty, and bathroom was not cleaned at all. The mosquito net over the bed was so dirty that i was even afraid to even use it. The property looks like hostel, so for the money i paid I could get way better hotel. I would totaly avoid it
Chuck
Just ok
The service was very good but the accommodations were not very clean or comfortable.
itamar
Very nice place to stay.
David
Another great stay at the Waterfront
We stay every visit to Livingstone, probably 4-5 time in as many years. Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Activities centre right next door to reception so plenty to choice from.
Richard
The riverfront setting was perfect. An excellent restaurant was a plus. The rooms were s nice mix of traditional design and up to date comforts
Gordon
This was out 4th visit to the Victoria Falls Waterfront. The welcome is always exceptional - warm and friendly. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The pools are clean and inviting. The bar and food are run to a very high standard. I understand that the lodge is owned by the company which provides safaris and other activities in the area so booking these is easy. We have now done a walking safari 4 times and see and learn new things each time. Cannot recomend this place enough.

Amanda
Amazing views of the Zambezi River. Peaceful, beautiful and clean. Delicious food at the restaurant. Will definitely be back.
Penney
I loved the location next to one of the lakes the feed into Victoria Falls. The turndown service was great for preparing your mosquito net and spraying the room to keep the bugs out as much as possible. It had a very real wildlife experience feeling. The people were safe however, I had security walke to my room after dark because of the baboons. I just don't trust baboons. Also it was dark. The only con on the hotel was my shower drain wasn't working properly.

Staff were all good from checkin to departure .

Victoria Falls Waterfront was such a fun and amazing location! I was travelling solo and started my weekend alone but ended it with so many friends. It's a great base to plan so many activities and also to meet both locals and fellow travelers! A+!

Meredith
this property exceeded all expectations. Staff assisted above and beyond because the airline lost my luggage. The expeditions all came to pickup/dropoff at the facility. The safari staff was very knowledgeable. Loved it! Will go back there again.
Mumbi
Loved the place; it has a tranquil aura, beautiful natural views, loved seeing elephants and hippos pop up now and again on the other side of the river from our room, food was yummy, staff were nice and friendly and helped us feel at ease… really happy I chose to stay here.
Mushiba
Lodging by the bank of the mighty Zambezi river was a beautiful experience
Gordon
Returning customer - this property competes favourably with other much more expensive places in the region. The staff and management are always helpful and willing to go the extra mile. They were also very supportive about cancelling and rebooking due to the Covid pandemic.

ROOMS ARE A BIT TIRED, COULD DO WITH BETTER MAINTAINANCE. STAFF WAS EXCELLLENT AND THE DRINKS AND FOOD WAS GOOD VALUE. THE RESORT ITSELF WAS CLEAN AND TIDY AND WAS IN A FANTASTIC POSITION NEXT TO THE ZAMBEZI RIVER.
Allison
What can I say about my stay. It was absolutely fantastic.
I stayed in the Adventure Tents and they were exactly as shown on the Expedia site. The area is cleaned and tidied on a constant basis.
The staff were wonderful. Very attentive and helpful. Lubasi, the manager is a great asset to the Victoria Falls Waterfront, as is all the staff. My only hope is that the management really know how how special the staff are.
The breakfasts were amazing, and included in the price. The dinners I purchased were all so good and delicious. Compliments to the chef and staff.
I would recommend the Victoria Falls Waterfront to anybody looking for a great, clean, tidy and affordable place to stay.
Thank you to all the staff for making my stay so special.

The property is beautiful. Set right along the Zambezi River it is quiet and natural. It is well kept and has a pleasant design.
Doreen
Good value hotel, some rooms a bit dated, problems with getting steady hot water in the shower. Lovely setting on the Zambezi River. Choice of two restaurants and bars, although the Sunday night buffet at the higher end part of the hotel was overpriced for what was offered. Wood oven pizza was good. Fairly comfortable beds, very limited number of channels available on the TV. But that is not what you are there for anyway!
Theodore
Stayed for three nights in the tents they provided. It was great would definitely do it again. The breakfast it top of the line as well. A great place to stay
Daniel
Beautiful relaxing hotel
My wife and I had a lovely long weekend stay at the Waterfront. It it in a brilliant location and boasts some stunning views. The partnership with the neighboring hotel also means there's an alternative place to eat and relax just next door. The rooms are fairly simple but have what you need to enjoy your stay. No televisions, which means you do feel very 'unplugged' from the noise. The staff are all very kind, welcoming and helpful.
sheila
A bit run down. Getting a good shower just wasn’t possible. We stayed in one of the executive suites. The balcony right on the river was great, but really buggy, so you don’t use it very much. I’m old and I think the waterfront would be perfect for someone young and on a budget. Next time, I will stay next door at the David Livingstone.
Sheryl
Highly recommend
My favorite place to stay in Livingstone. Right on the Zambezi River. Great food and friendly staff.

Location on the waterfront and value for money was the reason I returned.

The reason for low marks is we had rats in our room...

Thumbs up for this place!!
Beautiful place to stay & see the great sites in the area. My riverfront room with peaceful patio was wonderful. I’d sit out with my coffee in the morning & watched a couple monkeys playing in the trees! Everyone was so very helpful, meals were good & reasonable. The only problem was getting water mixed correctly in the shower—seemed to go from very hot to cold—was hard to regulate. Otherwise, everything was wonderful & I made new friends from all over!

This is a lodge in an amazing location where you can sit and have a beer (or other drink) beside the Zambezi and watch the lovely Zambian sunset.
It's not a palace and for the cost you would not expect it to be. That said, it is clean and friendly and the staff are always willing to help.
They can organise any tours or experiences for you and I find that they provide excellent value for money.

I had been here before, that is why I came back. A very welcoming staff who were all very charming and efficient. Lovely location and good food. An especially good 'English' breakfast included! The tour office offers excellent tours and trips. I used one of the tents which are perfectly comfortable and great value!

Can't beat the Waterfront
I have stayed at the Waterfront previously, and it maintains its lively and adventurous atmosphere, great service, reasonably priced good food and full bar, and its status as a one-stop shop for arranging all activities in the area. The location on the river is superb, the deck and bar area and pool are rustically inviting and picture-perfect at dusk, and the on-site travel agency makes planning one's entire agenda while at Vic Falls a breeze. The staff is always gracious and attentive, and small in-room inconveniences were immediately addressed. Extraneous requests were remembered and generously granted by management and staffers. The riverside room with a terrace, reached walking over the very colorful footbridge with its tree cover and running stream, offers the kind of environment one would want in such a place as Vic Falls. The hotel offers notably close-by access to key activities -- safaris to Chobe and Mosi-ao-Tunya parks, the falls, microlight flights, rafting, and the sunset cruise departing from its dock. Patrons are of all ages and nationalities. A great lodging experience.

I loved how it was on the waterfront. Also, the room I stayed in was perfect for my trip. Small, clean, Private, New, no problems. And the little garden area in front of all the rooms was great.

Tent location and Generator
Stayed in adventure village, where we were positioned right next to the camp generator.
This was very unpleasant as they started up the generator around 06h00 daily. One evening it even ran up until 23h00 after we asked them to turn it off.
The tents were not full, our feeling is that we could have been placed in a better unit due to the length of stay.
First taxi fair from the airport was ridiculously expensive and not related to any of the other taxi fees we paid during our stay.

The upgraded us on arrival which was really nice! The staff was excellent. The free breakfast was delicious. The only downside was that there wasn’t a lot of hot water and there were ants in the shower, but I think the rest of the amenities definitely made up for it!

View from riverfront room is incredible, but room is old and outdated, especially the bathroom for this price. There is no sealed door to bathroom so lacked privacy for me

Very nice warm service here. We arrived the hotel about 11.30AM but we can get early check in to rest, hotel room is fine, comfortable bed with mosquito nets and turn down service. Food is so delicious and not expensive. There is tour desk for many activities inside the hotel to choose. We are very happy during stay here

Amazing waterfront
We had a wonderful 2 days stay with friends and family. The camp site was amazing. Keep it up.

Accidentally booked a tent but enjoyed it...

Old stand alone structures. We stayed in an upstairs room with an old, wooden, external stair to the room. I discussed with the family how we would escape if there was a fire. There was no fire alert system. If the wooden stairs were on fire, it was a 10 foot drop over the balcony onto the grass. There were a multitude of mosquitoes in the room. Thank goodness for the mosquito nets over the beds at night. The lodge staff were very pleasant.

Absolutely lovely setting, wonderful staff, great food! 3rd time back! Great place.

Great place to stay
Staff was friendly, facilities great. Great restaurant not the widest variety but reasonably priced and delicious. The bed and pillows were just a bit hard. I even asked if the restaurant can make my Gran a small cake for her birthday and they were more than willing to help. Adventure company on premises to help with booking of other activities.

We booked a double room with breakfast included. But in the morning we’ve been informed that only continental breakfast ( literally they had only bread and butter with ham and yogurt) are included and if you want anything else is $10/ person which was a disappointment.
Other than that nice staff and cool African decoration.

A Perfect Location on the River. Relaxing in a comfortable room. Very kind staff and management. Good food and sunshine. Highly recommended to all tourists.

The setting was great. I had a riverfront chalet directly in front of the Zambezi. Very quiet, nice room, clean, with bottled water and coffee/tea. Breakfast was pretty good. Takes only 5-7 minutes to drive to Livingstone and it was only about 15 mins from the border by taxi. Lodge took several currencies and the staff were friendly.

What you see is not always what you get!!!!
We were saddened by the room that we were given. It was not what was shown on your website. Therefore we ended up paying over R12000 to stay where we wanna stay on top of what we paid already.

Two things make this hotel outstanding - the location and the staff. The bar/restaurant is right on the banks of the Zambezi, one evening (enjoying a crocodile kebab) we saw a crocodile swim past upstream then come back later with a buck in his jaws.
Some rooms are in the main block with views over the river but we were in an adventure lodge, one of 16 chalets in a square. It was compact but comfortable with all amenities including air con. It’s right on the edge of the national park so game drives start at the gate (top tip: get an early start)

This property has the best location, right on the Zambezi and close to the activities and Victoria Falls. The restaurant and several hotel rooms have spectacular views of the African sunset.

Very noisy, it said hotel room but was just a Tent were you have to use toilets and shower in an seperate block, and no towels, mattresses covered in plastic which makes it very unpleasant to sleep on.Therefore it’s totally overpriced
Tent is full of mosquitoes.

Amazing experience at Victoria waterfront.
It was amazing. Let me thank the manager, who was very understanding. Had a lovely chalet, had beautiful experience in the tent, the staff are well trained and of high integrity. Very kind staff. Food portions were massive and well prepared. I enjoyed brown nshima with stew.

Great Atmosphere and Value for Money
We stayed in tented accommodation at this venue, but will not make use of it again, even for two persons the tent is too small. Have looked at the chalets which are excellent will, definitely make use of them on a next visit. Location of this venue is excellent close to town center and Victoria falls and great views along the Zambesi river. Staff are very friendly and professional and foods are well prepared, especially the pizzas. The restaurant and bar has a great vibe after a day out on excursions.
Melanie
Great spot, good activities
Loved staying here, especially being right on the river! You can see the spray! Good food, good staff, clean rooms, and with Saf Par activities on site it was so easy to coordinate things. They were great about answering all our questions. We had quite a few mosquitoes in our room but that’s hard to help and they came and sprayed the room during our stay which was great. We were in the four person chalet with inside bathroom which was just fine. Thanks for a great visit!!!

Wonderful location with very friendly staff and on this, my second stay, I found there is now wifi in the rooms. A very well managed bus service to the falls/border/town and excellent value compared with other hotels in the vicinity.

Beautiful location. Reasonably priced compared to others. Some of the facilities can do with a bit of maintenance.

The view was a mosiquito infected swamp.
Overpriced
Fan did not work because of wrong cord plug, the front desk wouldn’t give us the correct plug.
