The environment is very good and the hotel service is also in place.
There are mosquitoes. It is recommended to bring mosquito repellent.

Fantastic location within walking distance to the Falls. Decor of common area and our room was beautiful. We had a 2nd floor unit (room 68) that was perched over the grounds which provided amazing wildlife sightings of Elephants and Warthogs from our spacious deck. Pool area, bar and dining area are beautiful and the staff so attentive. We were here during high water at Falls which we could hear, be ready to also hear all the helicopter tours overhead, but that affects all local hotels. Note, the USD is the local currency of which you can get from multiple ATMs a block away.

3 nights spent here as part of a longer trip. A warm welcome by friendly staff helping us to settle in quickly. They provide bug spray but also treat the grounds for mosquito. Large comfortable bed and very large bathroom with shower. Lovely towels and bed linen. The pool area is small and would be crowded at peak time but we didn't visit Victoria falls for a poolside holiday. The short drive to the falls is a must see. The bar is under the supervision of Basil who is a gentleman and knows how to look after his guests. Dinner was lovely, reasonable choice and beautifully presented. Breakfast is cooked to order as well as cold options. The huge pots of tea were appreciated. One small criticism - We asked several times about changing larger dollar bills for small for tips without success. Finally we were advised to go to the bank, 100m away to get changed. I'm sure that the hotel could provide this service to save guests the hassle and being harassed by hawkers on the way to the bank. The property is spotless and well placed to enjoy all that Victoria falls has to offer.

The hotel is very near to the falls and the lookout cafe. The view is fantastic, even more if you have the time to wait for the elephants, kudus, ... that visit the garden several times a day. The service is fantastic, the food excellent. And don' t miss to visit the partner hotel near to the river to have a romantic river side dinner experience.

I came here on a solo holiday after a 14 day safari excursion. I really enjoyed my experience here. The two pools are lovely, with a good wine selection. The property is open air with a good amount of security. Breakfast is served every day with a scenic view, an elephant came for a visit one morning as well! Ilala is different from most resorts I have been to because there is a lot of staff on the property at your service.

Wonderful lodge in the middle of Victoria Falls town and walking distance directly to the Falls Rooms very comfortable with sitting area outside, the pool and bar area very inviting - despite it being winter in June, we were still able to be by the pool The restaurant serves excellent food - we had breakfast and dinner, both of which were delicious - and very kind friendly staff The lodge arranged all the activities we wanted to do - guided tour at the Falls, sunset dinner cruise on the Zambezi, elephant encounter and zip wire experience The communication from them (with all my questions) was excellent - we would definitely stay here again

We had the pleasure of staying at the Ilala Lodge Hotel for two wonderful nights. The place is beautiful and very relaxing. The food was very nice and the staff very warm and friendly. Our bed was super comfy and everywhere was spotlessly clean. The hotel is well situated within Victoria Falls with restaurants and shops just a short walk away The biggest treat though, was seeing wildlife wandering through the rear gardens. During our stay we watched impala, kudu, two young warthogs play fighting under the watchful eye of mum and just before we departed, two magnificent elephants grazing at the edge of the gardens. Wonderful location/perfect stay.

Ilala Lodge was a great location to stay being so close to Victoria Falls. See wildlife graze on the grass outside or elephants at the waterhole so cool. Pool area is lovely and relaxing amd nice for a quick refresh. When we arrived my daughter was unwell a huge thank you to the deputy general manager for getting a doctor and pharmacist to us within 30 minutes so we could still make our afternoon river cruise. Staff were helpful and also welcoming us with a smile. Thoroughly enjoyed my breakfast and dinner at the hotel restaurant
