Fantastic location within walking distance to the Falls. Decor of common area and our room was beautiful. We had a 2nd floor unit (room 68) that was perched over the grounds which provided amazing wildlife sightings of Elephants and Warthogs from our spacious deck. Pool area, bar and dining area are beautiful and the staff so attentive. We were here during high water at Falls which we could hear, be ready to also hear all the helicopter tours overhead, but that affects all local hotels. Note, the USD is the local currency of which you can get from multiple ATMs a block away.

3 nights spent here as part of a longer trip. A warm welcome by friendly staff helping us to settle in quickly. They provide bug spray but also treat the grounds for mosquito. Large comfortable bed and very large bathroom with shower. Lovely towels and bed linen. The pool area is small and would be crowded at peak time but we didn't visit Victoria falls for a poolside holiday. The short drive to the falls is a must see. The bar is under the supervision of Basil who is a gentleman and knows how to look after his guests. Dinner was lovely, reasonable choice and beautifully presented. Breakfast is cooked to order as well as cold options. The huge pots of tea were appreciated. One small criticism - We asked several times about changing larger dollar bills for small for tips without success. Finally we were advised to go to the bank, 100m away to get changed. I'm sure that the hotel could provide this service to save guests the hassle and being harassed by hawkers on the way to the bank. The property is spotless and well placed to enjoy all that Victoria falls has to offer.

We had the pleasure of staying at the Ilala Lodge Hotel for two wonderful nights. The place is beautiful and very relaxing. The food was very nice and the staff very warm and friendly. Our bed was super comfy and everywhere was spotlessly clean. The hotel is well situated within Victoria Falls with restaurants and shops just a short walk away The biggest treat though, was seeing wildlife wandering through the rear gardens. During our stay we watched impala, kudu, two young warthogs play fighting under the watchful eye of mum and just before we departed, two magnificent elephants grazing at the edge of the gardens. Wonderful location/perfect stay.

Ilala Lodge was a great location to stay being so close to Victoria Falls. See wildlife graze on the grass outside or elephants at the waterhole so cool. Pool area is lovely and relaxing amd nice for a quick refresh. When we arrived my daughter was unwell a huge thank you to the deputy general manager for getting a doctor and pharmacist to us within 30 minutes so we could still make our afternoon river cruise. Staff were helpful and also welcoming us with a smile. Thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast and dinner at the hotel restaurant

We stayed 4 nights in an Executive Suite over Christmas. The hotel is well located near the falls and the town centre. We were impressed with the design of the hotel, quality of food and friendliness and efficiency of the staff. Our suite was spacious and well-appointed and we were glad we had spent the extra and taken this option as we found we used the lounge area a good deal. We would recommend this hotel, it is 5 minutes walk from Victoria Falls Hotel and about 10 minutes from entrance to Falls. We found Victoria Falls to be safe and apart from the occasional person trying to sell you a wooden animal then tourists we free to wander round.
