This is my second stay at Pioneers lodge and my fourth visit to Victoria Falls. I strongly recommend staying at this place as it is located in a quiet place and offers cozy rooms with comfy beds, two nice and clean swimming pools with enough sunbathing area and beautiful territory. The restaurant serves a great breakfast in the morning and in the evening you can enjoy local delicacies. Special thanks to Colen, who has assisted us a lot!
Cleanliness 7/10 -There was a shampoo and lotion used in the shower booth, the tub had black specs Food Quality 8/10- Food taste is fair and just some touch needed on presentation Staff friendliness & customer service 6/10- On check in the receptionist didn't exhibited a sense of urgency, she was attending to a personal call and afterwards started chanting to our shuttle driver talking personal issues before attending to us However the restaurant staff were so friendly and very cooperative. Thembi gave us exceptional service Sleep quality 10/10- The room is very spacious, bed comfy and the room well air-conditioned. Pool master is a room to be Attention to detail 5/10- there was no bath soap in the room Overall hotel rating***
My family of 4 stayed at one of the suites and it exceeded all expectation. The rooms were clean, roomy, well appointed, great thick towels, beds were very comfortable and the AC worked very well considering the heat. The breakfast at the nail lodge was buffet style and had a great variety. Pool was clean and refreshingly cool. The staff were exceptional in every way. I would highly recommend staying at one of their family suites.
Second time staying at A'Zambezi River Lodge. Just like the first time, it was a wonderful experience. Great value for money. Great view of the Zambezi. And great food, too - best food we'd during our stay in Vic Falls. Highly recommend.
The room (above bar) was not very large, but quite comfortable and a cozy bed. The bath was great with very good water pressure, which was very welcome after a week in solar powered lodges. Staff was very friendly and helpful with arranging for taxies. What really sets this place apart was the restaurant. The food was truly high-end and bests most restaurants in our hometown in the USA. Both the meat and vegetarian options were outstanding as was the breakfast.
AautumncsThe location is excellent, as the place is very close to the town centre. OK supermarket is only a 5 minute walk, the Pick n Pay supermarket is a 10 minute walk and the Victoria Falls park entrance is a 20 minute walk. I stayed in a private room with fan and bathroom. There is a mosquito net surrounding the bed to keep out mosquitoes. I can access wifi from my room. Wifi speed is reasonable most of the time but may become slow in the evening when most of the guests are back. The electrical sockets in my room accept UK-style plugs with 3 square pins. There is a lively bar facing a nice swimming pool. While the bar is nice place to chill and meet people, the music from the bar may bother those who have rooms close to the bar. (The bar music ends late on Saturday nights) Overall, because of the affordable rates and good location, this place is good value for money as long as you don't mind some bar music in the evening.
KKobe & KyleThe Hostel grounds themselves and the tent was very clean. We just did not realize that by booking a “double room” that it was actually a tent. The provided fan was nice and kept us cool in the evening and pool kept us clean during the day.
The location though is a bit outside of the town center though so you either need a car or to call a taxi to get anywhere.
The restaurant onsite was okay, but it wasn’t explained to us that occasionally they have a special BBQ and you can’t order anything else from the menu. If we knew that at the time, we would have stopped at the market and self catered.
But the staff was all lovely and helpful.

Livingstone Lodge was fantastic! I stayed in the Deluxe Double Room. The room was so beautiful, the grounds and gardens are lovely, the breakfast was great and the staff were so kind and helpful. I recommend the Livingstone Lodge very highly. I will stay here again if I come back to Victoria Falls.
