You won’t find a more accommodating hotel than the Royal Livingstone Hotel. Gorgeous grounds! Animals on premises! The staff was so friendly, even leaving a cookie icing station for our son in our room. When it comes to an unforgettable stay, won’t regret this choice for a moment.

Best ever
The most unique hotel experience I've had. All staff could not have been more helpful. Restuarant excellent. Views of Zambezi river stunning. And, to top it off, waking up to zebras, monkeys, and impalas in your front yard. Simply amazing!

Really liked property. High tea beautifully done. You have choices on where to eat. Rooms are cool. The Avani property next door was originally where they mistakenly dropped us…. Not that great.

Beautiful grounds with Zebras and Giraffes wandering around. Very warm welcome from their welcoming staff and everyone was great. That being said, the lady who processed our check in was rather peculiar and annoying. We were tired after a long journey and she just seemed to be relentless and making us book restaurants at the hotel for every night of our stay and said how they get full service quickly. They don’t. Seemed to almost hold the room key hostage until we had made some bookings which we later cancelled. Everything else about this hotel is perfect with exception of the WiFi being patchy and slow. Would definitely recommend.

Just wow!
What a beautiful old world hotel. No detail was left out. Lovely greeting in the reception area and they came to you, not you going to the desk. Manager greeted each and every guest. Rooms are well appointed, spacious and very comfortable. Within walking distance to the Falls. On the way home, on the path, I counter giraffes, monkeys, baboons and zebra ! Highly recommend

An Incredible Experience!
We had the most incredible experience at the Royal Livingstone! A friend recommended the resort to us and we are so grateful they did! From the hand massage at check-in, to the butler service daily, every detail is impeccable. While the rooms are lovely, the grounds gorgeous, the food delicious, what really sets this resort apart are the people. The staff, from the maintenance and security officers to the hostess & wait staff, front desk, guest relations and even the singers that greet you when you come and go - everyone was AMAZING. We will recommend the Royal Livingstone to anyone we know traveling to Victoria Falls. A good lesson though, getting across the border frequently can be challenging, so if you're going to the Royal Livingstone, try flying into Livingstone Zambia instead of Victoria Falls airport in Zimbabwe. Definitely don't miss going to Zimbabwe though.

Das Wichtigste zuerst: Das Royal Livingstone hat eine sensationelle Lage direkt am Sambesi. Man sieht vom Sonnendeck aus wunderschöne Sonnenuntergänge, zahlreiche Nilpferde und die Gischt der Victoria Fälle. Ein Traum. Auch ist die großzügige Anlage sehr gepflegt und lädt zum spazieren über den Rasen ein. Auf dem Gelände leben Giraffen, Zebras, Impalas und weitere Tiere, die einem immer wieder begegnen. Giraffen, die direkt vor der Terrasse oder dem Balkon des eigenen Zimmers vorbeilaufen, sind schon etwas sehr besonderes. Enttäuschend ist dagegen allerdings der Service. Alle sind sicherlich sehr bemüht, doch oftmals fehlt das Lächeln im Gesicht und manche Verhaltensweisen sind ein wenig schroff. Es fehlt an Wertschätzung und Aufmerksamkeit. Die Barkeeper sind erschreckend abweisend, das Housekeeping ist unzuverlässig (Minibar wurde an vier Tagen nicht aufgefüllt, vereinbarte Termine wurden nicht eingehalten), der Empfang war sehr robust und wenig herzlich. Das Beleuchtungskonzept in den Suiten ist vollkommen unkomfortabel (insbesondere nachts), das Moskitonetz (wird zwingend benötigt) ist wenig zweckmäßig, die Sauberkeit war grenzwertig (Spinnen, Kakerlake). Fast 7.000 EUR für vier Nächte sind sehr sehr viel Geld, da muss seitens des Service und der Zimmersituation mehr kommen, als es bei uns der Fall war. Wie gesagt, die Lage ist perfekt, der Rest muss Gas geben.

Great hotel. This is by far the best hotel I have stayed at in my many travels overseas on vacation. Staff was very hospitable. I enjoyed living close to nature, that is, experiencing the giraffes, zebras and impalas on the hotel premises. Wish there was a place on site to change foreign currency to the Zambian kwacha.
