Garden view is very nice, you can see even wild animals. Property is very well maintained
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

This perfectly located hotel within walking distance of the Victoria Falls National Park has beautiful grounds (with antelope, baboons and, one night, a hippo), warm and helpful staff, delicious food and a beautiful pool. A shuttle was available to take us to its sister hotel (The Palms) to use its small but well equipped gym. Highly recommended.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and great staff. Walking distance to the Falls. Saw a baby elephant and hippos grazing on the property. Could be challenging if you just want to hang out around the property and have peace and quiet. The constant buzzing of helicopters above from the tours is ever present during the daytime hours. If you are fine with that, you should be okay.

I stayed here by myself and it was the perfect location right by the falls entrance and you can walk to the cute shops in town. The people and staff were incredible , they had a great activities desk that arranged my airport transfers and activities that I wanted to do, and the rooms were very nice! The pool and outdoor eating areas were also incredible. Great staff and people and overall experience

Ilala lodge

Very relaxing and calming hotel with lovely gardens. Had hippos visiting at night. Breakfast was excellent. The lunch menu was tasty. The dinner was not so good. The staff were very friendly & welcoming. Would stay there again. 10 minutes to Victoria falls on foot
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Menu was limited. Shower makes floor all wet. Never restocked our minibar. Should have a mechanism for late checkout, even if you pay for it. Felt perfectly safe here at all times. All staff were friendly and very helpful. All other aspects were excellent. Would recommend to others and return myself.
