Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The helpfulness of the staff, the support, the protectiveness , were all above and beyond expectations. We really liked the hotel, and its location about half way between Livingstone town and Victoria Falls. Several malls and restaurants are a short walk away. We do recommend the Protea- it’s a great option if the ultra pricey riverfront lodges or the further away town options don’t work for you. Very good breakfast options too! Also very cool to see zebras randomly walking down the hotel driveway

Our stay at the Protea Livingstone was amazing! The staff were so friendly and helpful, our breakfasts were delicious each morning. Our room was comfortable, warm and had everything we needed. It was the perfect place to stay for us to explore Livingstone for 5 days! It is a beautiful hotel and we highly recommend it.

Beautiful and comfortable stay for 2 nights. The only thing that people should be aware of is the amount of mosquitos and bugs that might also show up in rooms. The hotel offers mosquito nets and bug spray, it's just a bit of an adjustment to handle that part.

On the night of arrival . The hotel was serving a buffet with limited options. They did not even allow ordering from the menu despite their restricted buffet options. The following day, during breakfast , there was poor service . Not enough utensils like the cereal section without bowls. The cooking station had one person on eggs and bacon and it was hard for the person to navigate both ends. Took close to 20-30min just to have bacon. I think their restaurant service could be better. Checkin was smooth.

If you’re used the Marriott brand standards, this is a bit scaled down. I was thrown by the can of insecticide left in the room for guest use. But still a lovely property.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
While the property itself is beautiful, the rooms are incredibly dated and service is often slow. There are no outlets next to the beds on either side and no outlets in the bathroom. Your only option to charge/use your phone/other electric device is across the room at the desk. Oftentimes, I had to rely on my portable charger if I had two electric devices that needed power. I couldn’t even do my hair in the bathroom because the only hair dryer is in the desk and cannot be pulled out to be used. Furthermore, the room itself has very few light fixtures, making it hard to see. Additionally, à la carte food service is incredibly slow. We had ordered wraps for a quick lunch, but 45 min later, we had to nudge the staff to check on them.
