The N1 Hotel & Campsite Victoria Falls

The N1 Hotel & Campsite Victoria Falls

8/10 Good

"Best value. Walking distance to restaurants."

Waterfalls Lodge

Waterfalls Lodge

8/10 Good

"Room was great and very clean. My issue was the bathroom which had a window that could not be closed and also water spills out of the shower everywhere. There was a lot of noise coming from across the street late at night. If you are looking for a restful stay this is not it! The food was very good and above all the staff was super nice!"

10/10 Excellent

"My wife, son, and I had an excellent and memorable stay here. Our room was spotlessly clean, thanks to the fantastic housekeeping team, and the showers were incredible—it felt just like standing under Victoria Falls! The food was great, particularly the breakfasts and the poolside restaurant. However, I would have loved to see more local Zambian dishes on the standard restaurant menu. That said, the evening cultural show was a highlight, offering a wonderful display of Zambian culture alongside delicious traditional food. The hotel’s location is unbeatable; we easily walked to Victoria Falls three times and even took a day trip across the border. Additionally, the staff was highly helpful in arranging our airport transfers and excursions. Another highlight is the animals roaming around. It's quite the experience to be lounging by the pool and have a giraffe standing next to you. Or looking out your window to see baboons or zebras. We would definitely return."

Shoestrings Backpackers & Bar

8/10 Good

"You will love this property if you like music playing for most of the day. You will also like this property if you enjoy a lot of socialization. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms in the private rooms are functional, and the staff is generally helpful. The avocado toast with poached egg was good the day I had it. If you enjoy very, very, very loud music on Friday and Saturday nights until 2 AM you will love this Hostel. When I was there, they also had a market on Saturday and Sunday that took up all of the space in their very lovely manicure line. There was no room to sit because of the market. Without the market, the grounds are absolutely beautiful."

Elephant Hills Resort

Elephant Hills Resort

8/10 Good

"A large hotel with great views looking across to the spray from the Falls and river. Food was good and reasonably priced. Staff friendly and helpful. We enjoyed walking around the golf course and property where we could watch monkeys, baboons, mongoose, impala, crocodile and birds. The property is looking a little tired in places and a few things missing, like bathrobes and tissues, which we did expect at the price."
