The N1 Hotel & Campsite Victoria Falls

8/10 Good

"Good but small room. Everything was very good. The AC worked great. Good breakfast. Nice clean rooms."

Lake Kariba Inns

10/10 Excellent

"It has the best view of the lake"

Lake Safari Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was wonderful"

Shearwater Explorers Village

8/10 Good

"The only reason I cannot give this a 10 out of five dollar review is because the Plumbing bedroom needed new fixtures and hot water was very limited. This could be an isolated incident because otherwise the place was magical. Breakfast is good, check-in was easy, everyone was nice. It was super clean in the grounds well-maintained. Location was 10 out of 10. Bar staff excellent."

Cutty Sark Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, very clean, very friendly and accomodating staff"

Caribbea Bay Resort

8/10 Good

"Good food, clean rooms, friendly staff. My only disappointment was that the pool was only open upon inquiry. They should advise guests at check in."
