Kudos ##### Rogers Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Kathryn 6 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Property is GORGEOUS! Rooms feel a bit dated though. There was broken tiles and discoloration on grout. Waiters Joseph and Bruce were super nice, other staff felt indifferent to guests. Resort seemed empty but the guests were all put on far side of hotel - kinda strange! ##### Kathryn Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Levy 14 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Its so serene and relaxing. The breakfast was very nice with a healthy choice There are a lot of mosquitoes and the hotel may consider introducing light bulbs that repel mosquitoes especially for areas near the sleeping quarters/guest rooms. ##### Levy Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Ole 6 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort 1\. Opgradering til Suite 2. Venligt personale, amerikansk stil med - fór Europæer- lidt for hyppige efterspørgslen om alt er godt 3. Tynde Cocktails, tilgang til nabohotellets bar med gode caipirinha! 4. Perfekt beliggenhed direkt ved Zambesi ##### Ole Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Helene 22 Feb 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### View over Zambezi. Nice hotel, beautiful location, a bit overpriced considering it was almost empty. ##### Helene Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nigel 11 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Highly recommended Amazing place to stay. Great breakfast with huge variety of foods to choose from. Lunch and dinner menus reasonably priced with excellent choice. Outstandingly comfortable room overlooking the Zambezi. Woken up to sounds of hippos ##### Nigel Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Robert 27 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Bug Spray Required The staff were helpful and attentive. The rooms were all clean and comfortable though showing age. The air conditioner worked (Hurray!) and no monkeys found the way into our room. The restaurant food was well prepared and timely served. The variety of drinks and such were sufficient.He selections for vegetarians were slim and for vegan pretty much non-existent. A gluten free vegan would have pretty much been left to a salad. But the kitchen knows its market. The "chips" were called "fries" and the ketchup was Heinz. The burgers came with bacon and didn't pretend to be something special. The biggest "surprise" which may have been simply my mistake is that (1) the tip is included in the bill when you charge it to the room (doesn't reflect on the restaurant receipt) so I ended up tipping twice; and (2) the "airport transfer" was neither free nor arranged without hassle. I had to pay half again more than taxi rate to go there and back. So, as the Gen Z might say ..."my bad" . The riverfront location is marvelous but as with all things on the Zambezi the biting insects were not nearly as charming. Bring real bug spray (100% DEET) and plenty of it. The dining rooms are all outside exposed to the elements. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3EB8361DEBDBD966A27CB510AB609DE1B0E192CD1582817049609.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robert Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Verified traveller 19 Feb 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Dieses Hotel mißachtet die eigenen, an Ihre Kunden kommunizierten Stornobedingungen. Es wird einfach 100% behalten. Obwohl 50% versprochen werden. Die gesamte Region, die Landesgrenzen haben bei uns einen Lebensgefährlichen Eindruck hinterlassen. Expedia kümmert sich trotz beweisen für unrechtes Handeln des Hotels nicht um seine Kunden. Meine letzte Bewertung wurde von Expedia gar nicht erst frei gegeben. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Klaus 15 Feb 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Traumhafte Location direkt am Zambesi Traumhafte Location , super freundliches Personal , excelentes Restaurant + Terassenlokal , sehr gepflegte Anlage , kostenlose Shuttle zu den Victoriafällen auf beiden Seiten + nach Livingstone ##### Klaus Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Et veldig hyggelig og fredelig sted ved bredden av Zambezi. Sjarmerende arkitektur. Godt meny-utvalg i restauranten og stor frokost-buffé. Et sted man lengter tilbake til. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Had a great time, the view is amazing and sunset should never be missed. My wife used the spa and it was first class. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Nov 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotels in Naousa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naousa-Hotels.d6051758.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Changi Beach Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Changi-Beach-Park-Hotels.0-l6196822-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Palmwood Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lusaka-Hotels-Palmwood-Lodge.h10377455.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake Safari Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Siavonga-Hotels-Lake-Safari-Lodge.h10631235.Hotel-Information) > > [Ciêla, Lusaka, a Tribute Portfolio Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lusaka-Hotels-Ciela.h68847368.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Slough](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Slough-Hotels.s50-0-d5688.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Radisson Resort Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Miami-Hotels-Four-Palms-Hotel-Miami-Beach.h44891320.Hotel-Information) > > [The Gold Bank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Prague-Hotels-The-Gold-Bank.h68748274.Hotel-Information) > > [New Place](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southampton-Hotels-New-Place.h1587150.Hotel-Information) > > [Eland Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Livingstone-Hotels-Eland-Lodge.h38051463.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Tavira](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tavira-Villas.d182254-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [NOX HOTELS - Belsize Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-NOX-HOTELS-Belsize-Park.h6882081.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Lacock Abbey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lacock-Abbey-Hotels.0-l6092207-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [De Trafford Hotel by Greene King Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Alderley-Edge-Hotels-De-Trafford-Hotel-By-Greene-King-Inns.h9491378.Hotel-Information) > > [HiltonHotels Hotels in Dakar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dakar-Hotels-Hilton-Hotels.0-0-d1024--bHiltonHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Caravan Parks Barcelona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Barcelona-Caravan-Parks.d179992-aaCaravanParks.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Dublin (DUB) to Nice (NCE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/dub/nce/dublin-to-nice) > > [Flights from Harare (HRE) to Nairobi (NBO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hre/nbo/harare-to-nairobi) > > [Flights from Zemunik Donji (ZAD) to Gatwick (LGW)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/zad/lgw/zadar-to-london) > > [Flights from Cardiff (CWL) to Tramore (WAT)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/cwl/wat/cardiff-to-waterford) > > [Flights from Minneapolis - St. Paul Intl. to NYC-All Airports](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/msp/nyc/minneapolis-to-new-york) ### Activities > [Things to do in Haarlem](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Haarlem.d5311.Travel-Guide-Activities) > > [Things to do in Mati](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Mati.d601918.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Abu Dhabi Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Abu-Dhabi.d6053838.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Casa Loma](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Casa-Loma-Old-Toronto.d503126.Attraction) > > [United Kingdom](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/theme-holidays/beach-holidays/190/United-Kingdom) > > [Jama Masjid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jama-Masjid-Agra.d6106492.Attraction) ### General > [Visit Wegberg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wegberg.dx6265861) > > [Visit Wolf's Castle](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wolfs-Castle.dx3000418719) > > [Visit Oden](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oden.dx6358163)
