This is a true 5 star hotel . All the staff are so well trained . Nothing is too much trouble. We stayed 3 nights and did not get bored . We ate all our meals at the hotel at Stanley Terrace and enjoyed everything we had . The view from the Terrace is amazing . The pool area is beautifully designed and not too busy . We saw many animals in the grounds and beyond.

This classic turn of the century hotel is a treat to stay at. It is well located in Victoria Falls for day activities and has a splendid view of the Zambezi River gorge and bridge. The staff are exceedingly friendly and well trained. Our room was very comfortable with a large bedroom and bathroom with both shower and bath. There were a lot of electrical outlets including the North American standard. The food was outstanding and reasonably priced for the quality. Table service was top notch. The pool was so nice on a hot day, with great F & B service and live music. There were a variety of wild animals to be seen both on and off the property but you felt safe with the animal rangers they had patrolling. Although lodging is expensive, we felt it was well worth the unique experience.

Helpful and courteous staff. Very clean and I felt comfortable eating there. Good breakfast options and very good dinner options. Coffee unfortunately was not very good but the very restaurant staff especially Beatrice and Nyash were very helpful. They are doing renovations and the rooms in this stable wing are not easily accessible as you have to walk on the road and through a poorly lit alley to access that wing. Wi-Fi was very good and water pressure in showers was very good.

This hotel is spectacular in so many ways. First, the staff is so welcoming and friendly and helpful. The rooms are super comfy and clean. The grounds are so beautiful ... With a great view of the most from Victoria Falls and the gorge leading to it You can get to the falls entrance in just 10 minutes walking. You do not need a car. We spent a great day at the falls, walked across the bridge into Zambia and then went by the lovely little pool and just relaxed at the end of the day. It was truly a spectacular feeling. The food in the restaurant is amazing. They also offer spa services and a little health club for fitness. Truly has everything you need. We don't recall how much more VFH cost and we didn't see any other hotels to compare it to, but we are comfortable that spending the extra money for this property was worth it and enhanced our experience.

The hotel has an incredible history, central location , breathtaking views and warm staff which ensured we had the best stay we could have hoped for. Whether spending the days lounging by the pool or walking to the falls, the hotel staff catered for all of our needs and more.
