The property is beautiful, staff are outstanding and anything is possible just ask for it. My sandals sole went undone due to the heat and the staff fixed them within 20 mins. Amazing service. Only points are that the chalettes are not noise isolating so you hear everything around you and humidity smell is real. But it is a great place and amazing value for money.

Not a fault of the property, helicopters are hovering 8:00 am to 6:00pm if property is near the falls. Staff is incredibly friendly at this hotel. Food is ok. Property is very convenient for shopping.

We loved our stay at Shearwater Explorers Village - 10/10 for sure! The property was immaculately clean, the breakfast was absolutely delicious, and our room was perfect with the mosquito net to keep us safe from bites at night. Most of all we loved the staff - reception, cleaning staff, activities staff, bartenders and restaurant servers were incredibly warm and friendly. They were what makes Shearwater Explorers Village the perfect place to stay when visiting Victoria Falls. We highly recommend staying at Shearwater Explorers Village.

Shearwater was a good place to spend our three days in Victoria Falls. While it is a bit worn these days and also a bit overpriced relative to the other options in the area, the room was decent, food good, and staff very friendly. The hotel arranged airport transfer was smooth, and the grounds comfortable, though there were very few pool chairs for many guests. Of course, the reason you are in VF is the Falls and the hotel is in a good location with easy walking to souvenirs as well as the nearby Falls. We also stumbled upon a great find - Victoria Falls Distillery - just a couple of blocks away.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay here as we were within walking distance of the Victoria Falls Rainforest. The staff was kind and attentive, and the grounds were beautiful. Unfortunately our AirCon broke and dripped water on the bed but aside from that our stay was great. Would highly recommend!

The cottages are designed attractively to tourists with a good service and ideal location for Falls. However, Victoria Falls city has far too many street vendors chasing tourists around.
