"The staff were attentive, warm and very engaging, from those in maintenance to the ones in the restaurant. Tendo was a rock at the front desk! She helped us get trusted drivers for transportstion when required. The property grounds were well maintained and we found the room and bedding comfortable. The location is convenient - slightly off the main road but within walking distance of town of Victoria Falls if so desired (25-30 minutes). Would highly recommend Batonka Lodge!"

"I loved my stay. I only spent 2 nights but the room was spacious and clean. Beautiful pool area with dining. Staff where incredibly welcoming. I would stay again. Only one point is if I could rate the meals it would probably be about a 3/5. Not a great variety and didn't feel the preparation of the meal keeps up with everything else about the lodge."

Locals call this natural wonder 'The Smoke That Thunders' for the mist that rises above the mile-wide curtain of water. Take a helicopter flight for aerial views or brave the Devil's Pool at Livingstone Island during dry season.
What a fabulous Lodge. I stayed here for three nights and I absolutely loved it. The place is clean, It’s quiet and it’s so pretty. The staff are amazing. They’re so friendly and so attentive. I had such a great time and would love to come back. Its a little way from town but for me that was perfect. After doing lots of daily trips, there was no desire to go anywhere in the evening. The food at the restaurant was great. The bar has everything you need and the rooms are so nice. Overall, it was...

Wonderful welcome , quick check in. Room was big and very comfortable with a big bathroom, toiletries and massive shower. The food and service were excellent. The staff works hard to please their guests. Lovely pool with sun loungers, very well kept garden. We were collected from Victoria Falls airport by a charming young driver. Wonderful place.

Amazing place staff are wonderful. Traditional Zimbabwean thatched cottage accommodation. We were in the honeymoon suite although not our honeymoon. Lovely big bed fantastic bathroom and outdoor seating. Phil Mornette and their team are great hosts.

Great hotel, lovely rooms and wonderful staff. Views over the Zambezi Nationsl Park were fantastic with lots of animals visiting the waterhole at the adjacent Lodge. Don't miss the vulture feeding which happens each day at 1pm

If you love nature and a very peaceful place to rest then this lodge is for you. You will enjoy the view of some wildlife attractions. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a pool at the lodge but it is not very clean.

We enjoyed a very relaxing stay @ Bayete. The room service and restaurant staff were a delight, nothing was too much trouble. Victoria Falls and Victoria Falls Hotel, fantastic.

VFSL is beautiful. Don't miss the Vulture Culture experience, every day, free at 1pm if you'r interested in seeing vultures tearing apart leftovers. Various excursions are available and a free shuttle bus is a must for getting to the town. Generally full of aging American tourists when I was there, the breakfast buffet was very good, other meals overpriced (but tasty). Indeed, most things available at VFSL came with an added premium, as if everyone who has the money to stay there has extra cash...

The rooms are tastefully put together, secure and clean.
The pool is great and the restaurant and lounge area is comfortable.
I also found the staff very helpful.
There was quite a bit of construction noise, for work that I gather was supposed to have ended before I arrived. It's obviously not going on for ever, so not the end of the world.
However, the noise you might have to get used to is helicopter noise from commercial flights over the Falls (as the hotel basically backs on to the Falls)....

We had an amazing stay; the only issue was the lack of information from the desk when we checked in. We were not informed that there was a shuttle bus; we only found out when we were looking to get a taxi to get into town. The view from the hotel is amazing. The shuttle bus drivers have good customer care.
Bar service was a bit slow and could do with paying more attention to guests.
We would stay at Lokuthula on our next trip.
