Livingstone Lodge

Fantastic value for money. A friendly welcome. Room was adequate but bathroom small. We were not there for luxury but wanted a base and somewhere friendly and clean. Livingstone lodge certainly was that. Great laundry facilities Breakfast was good cooked fresh to order. Highly recommend the on site massage and beauty salon. Luggage storage available

Lovely place to stay. Friendly staff who can’t do enough for you! Clean and basic facilities. Lovely breakfast. Lodge sorted out all the trips we required and travel To and from airport - only downside was the driver asked how much tip we had left him!!!

First of all I admire Elton's personality so friendly and hospitable!! The service was excellent too including clean rooms ,good breakfast, communication with the drivers everything 100% enjoyable. Thank you Marina and David Belenky.

We recently stayed at Livingstone Lodge the night of April 22 - it was a last-minute booking and we were charged $110 USD. It was a shock, as the hotel looks nothing like the pictures online. We had originally booked two nights - April 23-25, which we promptly cancelled when we saw the hotel. We were charged a penalty of one night for cancelling. We were shocked when we arrived - considering the hotel charged over $180 CAD per night for the original booking. For an additional $80 per night, we moved to Shearwater Explorers Village - there is NO comparison. That is a REAL hotel! I believe this hotel is grossly misrepresented - the photos are enhanced and I find it hard to believe the reviews. Our room was like a prison cell, with no furnishing. There is no curtain around the shower, so we stood in water to use the sink. Breakfast was pathetic - beans, egg and bacon (I am vegetarian) and no fruit whatsoever. Coffee was self serve instant using a kettle with a too short cord. Even the so-called reception is pathetic - a tiny office with a folding chair and table - I've seen better at construction sites! I believe what we were charged is robbery and am trying to get a refund of the penalty charged when we cancelled. What is interesting is I now see rooms advertised for about $50 - approximately one third of the robbery price we were charged. The one star allocated is for the staff.. They are lovely - I feel sorry they have to deal with clients booking such a sub-standard property. If the owners are not prepared to invest some money in this place, at least represent it more truthfully and charge a lower price!

Lovely, clean and welcoming lodge. Beautiful poolside breakfast/tea and coffee area. Staff were very helpful with suggestions for visiting attractions and organised these and transport/guides quickly. We also had an issue with a double payment which was due to no fault of the lodge. However, they went out if their way to get it sorted out for us. Highly recommend Livingstone Lodge when visiting Victoria Falls.

Comfortable, accessible, family friendly and offers some of the BEST massages we've had. The massage therapists were outstanding! They used an upmarket tent for fabulous treatments - all it needs is air-conditioning and we are certain that as their upgrading of the entire lodge continues this will be done. The rooms were tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable. Bathrooms were easy to use and had plentiful hot water. The WiFi was good enough to allow for remote work as well as kids entertainment. Staff at all levels are professional, committed and helpful. It doesn't pretend to be a 5 star hotel but as an upmarket lodge for a large and remote working family, it is a place we would choose to return to. We would definitely return.
