Had an emergency out of my control. Contacted hotel to try to reschedule. They flatly declined and would not oblige. Buyer beware. There are way too many great options in the area with better customer service. ##### Aminata Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claude 14 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Spectacular. Staff goes out of their way to please and accommodate Amazing setting and great rooms, some nickel and dime charges for coffee,from a machine.. and given the exclusivity should be included . ##### Claude Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steven 29 Sept 2024 So often you doubt the praises from a traveler. But this hotel deserves all the top stars awards. EVERYONE, literally everyone was so gracious polite and welcoming. From the front desk, to the staff during breakfast, and even the men maintaining the grounds. It should be noted this hotel is secluded from a “town” and clearly designed for families with children. But we absolutely loved our entire experience with Palm River. Loved it ##### Steven Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian 12 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The architecture is fantastic. The location on the banks of the Zambezi is fantastic. The property exudes quality, luxury and comfort. The staff was super friendly and went the extra mile to make us comfortable. Spending time at the hotel was as exciting as going out to do activities and coming back to our room was so satisfying every time. The dining area was particularly epic with the ultra high ceilings and decor fit for royalty, making breakfast in particular, an occasion to look forward to. We would stay here again. Well done Palm River Lodge! ##### Brian Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Avi 10 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Was good in general, Do you want? The hotel recommended we did the early morning safari in the day of our checkout so that we have plenty of time prior to checkout. The Safari booked by the hotel was a private Safari and it was a disaster because their vehicle broke down which caused delays for the checkout and there was no leniency in terms of checkout by the manager. literally people were standing at our doors to make sure that we come out of the room and that really caused an unsatisfactory ending ##### Avi Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Donald 8 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pool was fabulous!
