Livingstone Lodge

Amazing and helpful staff and very clean and well-kept property.

I was upgraded to a deluxe double room, which was a lovely surprise and made my stay more comfortable. The afternoon/evening receptionist was especially helpful, assisting with my luggage and even helping to contact tour operators, which I really appreciated. However, my experience with the morning receptionist wasn’t as positive. The hotel is also a bit far from the centre of Victoria Falls, so there isn’t much to do within walking distance. One downside was the noise in the evenings, guests in the common area could be quite loud, which affected the overall atmosphere. Breakfast was okay, but nothing particularly memorable.

Room upgrade was a pleasant suprise however ruined by noisy inconsiderate guests in the surrounding rooms. Waiting staff watched me arrive in good time for a dinner order then deliberately ignored me on instruction from the chef whilst I sat in plain view of them all. When I eventually caught their attention, the chef told them to tell me the kitchen closes at 8pm.

The room was clean, staff were very friendly and accommodating to my personal needs

Food is excellent. Nice and friendly staff.
