Royal Livingstone Victoria Falls Zambia Hotel by Anantara

Excellent!

Style victorien colonial tout à fait bien pour l’Afrique

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.

Hôtel extraordinario En un entorno maravilloso Aunque sea caro merece la pena

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.

The hotel is absolutely gorgeous! Very expensive, but amazing! A lots of animals!

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.

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!

What can we say - but simply stunning. The animals on the property are such a massive highlight.

Close to the river, exceptional customer service

Loved every minute of it. The property is spectacular, staff attentive, personal touch. The whole experience from star to finish was superb

Tolle Lage am Zambezi - Blick auf die Victoria Fälle - saubere Unterkunft- sehr schöne Anlage - einzigartiges Frühstücksbüffet - für Service war etwas unorganisiert (entspricht nicht dem Standard eines solchen Hotels und Preis)

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.

Great 5 star hotel and property , excellent location and proximity to the Falls , friendly staff, good attention to detail, an overall brilliant experience.

It’s a magical and unique experience. From the location, the animals on premise, the staff, the food, the amenities, the tours, everything is a 10/10! Highly recommended

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.

Perfect place on all counts. Wonderful staff. Amazing location near the Falls. Nice food. Beautiful facilities and service. Everyone made us feel welcome. Great animals walking about every day.

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

Wonderful property,helpful staff.Everyone was efficient and friendly.Highly recommend this hotel and all it has to offer.

We had an absolute wonderful stay at the Royal Livingstone. The staff couldn't do enough to make our stay more comfortable and was so friendly and always wiling to assist. The grounds are beautiful, the views breathtaking and the food delicious!
