    Closest to Victoria Falls; warm staff.

    Guests at Ilala Lodge were happy to be staying in the closest hotel to the Victoria Falls, which they said put them in the perfect spot for walking to the Victoria Falls National Park or heading to the Victoria Falls Bridge. Also a bonus — the staff here is said to be genuinely very warm and friendly and glad to help out with anything that you could need while you are staying.

    positive:

    Spacious rooms, handsome grounds and a pool.

    The rooms here are said to be spacious, comfortable, clean and cosy — but not over the top ornate — while some of them open up onto the handsome gardens, some wildlife visitors like warthogs sometimes graze.  According to reviews, the grounds also offer the chance to spot spray from the falls, or simply stargaze in safety, while those not wishing to risk the Devil's Pool will find a pool with bar on site.

    positive:

    Delicious food and great service.

    Those who opted to stay at Illala Lodge said that they always experienced delicious food, including a very wide variety of fare on offer in the breakfast buffet, such as juices, pastries, meats and fruit, as well as cooked options just how they liked it. On top of this, the restaurant apparently has a balcony looking out in the direction of the falls, so you do not miss a moment of the experience.
