The lodge is immaculate in every way. My room was huge with cold a/c, a balcony overlooking manicured greenery, and a stocked complimentary fridge/bar, cookies and an espresso machine! In addition to the hotel room/property itself, a highlight is being walking distance to the Falls as well as shops and restaurants. I feel this is a BIG bonus over more out of the way lodges. In my room, all I felt was the tranquility of the hotel grounds - but a brief and safe walk put me at artisan craft shops and restaurants. In all, Ilala offers the serenity of nature without the dependence on cars and taxis to visit anything beyond one’s lodge. ##### Nina Mary ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jephunneh 12 Jan 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A true 5-star resort featuring African luxury and charm at its finest. The exquisite cultural décor within the executive suites is astounding. The free mini-bar at first seems to be too good to be true. It is yours to enjoy. The insect repellent and insect spray awaiting us in the room were greatly appreciated. This is a fabulous property that allows for one to see native animals graze nearby from your room. The restaurant food and staff are excellent. There were a few communication hiccups with hotel personnel. However, the hotel staff works hard to rectify and please. The Hotel does a good job presenting and explaining the Victoria Falls tours and activities. I would suggest that they update their activities list to make note that all activities are on the Zimbabwe side (same side as hotel) except for the Devils Pool which is on the Zambia side. That is very important to know for ones respective Country Visa requirements. Also, a total time estimate for activities would be helpful. The IIala is immediately surrounded by noisy traffic, restaurants, and helicopter tours. Perhaps upgrading the patio doors and windows to thicker and/or soundproof glass (for the suites wing at least) would help. The high arching outdoor hallways act as sound magnifiers and that adds to the disturbance. Still a very wonderful stay overall! ##### Jephunneh Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### JAIME 19 Aug 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities La persona a cargo de la recepcion no tiene tacto con algunos clientes, aparenta ser racista. ##### JAIME Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### William 1 May 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice room, clean facilities and great breakfast and bar during the evenings. ##### William Stayed 1 night in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 1 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Stunning spot with a great atmosphere. ##### Peter Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 5 Feb 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service L’emplacement de l’hôtel est bien situé car il se trouve à 100m de l’entrée des chutes victoria.
