I had an absolutely unforgettable stay at this hotel, which is perfectly situated along the banks of the Zambezi River, just a pleasant walk from the stunning Victoria Falls. The rooms were luxurious, showcasing a beautiful colonial style, though the bathrooms could use a bit of modernization. The food was exceptional, especially breakfast, and the atmosphere was enhanced by the presence of wildlife nearby. However, the pool was rather cold during my visit, which made it less enjoyable. Overall, it was a great value for the experience offered.

The Royal Livingstone offers a stunning location right by the Zambezi River, with spectacular wildlife views and beautifully maintained grounds. The rooms are luxurious and comfortable, although our bed was made up of two twin beds pushed together, which was a bit awkward. The dining experience was nice overall, especially the breakfast buffet, but there were some hiccups with service at the restaurants that tested our patience. The amenities, including the pool and gym, were top-notch, making our stay enjoyable despite a few service lapses.

My stay at the Royal Livingstone was nothing short of magical. The property is stunning, with a perfect blend of wildlife and luxury, right by the Zambezi River and a stone's throw from the falls. The service was exceptional, tailored to every need, making my family's birthday celebrations unforgettable. However, the dining could have offered a bit more variety to elevate the experience, and the gym, while good, was not as spacious as I'd hoped.

The Royal Livingstone is a truly remarkable place situated right on the edge of the Zambezi River, allowing close encounters with local wildlife like zebras and giraffes. The rooms are spacious and luxurious but could use better cleanliness. While many staff members were friendly, the service lacked consistency and enthusiasm, especially during dinner. Overall, the breathtaking location and unique experiences overshadowed some service shortcomings.

My stay was absolutely magical, as the hotel offers stunning views across the Zambezi River and provides a serene ambiance surrounded by nature. The variety of activities we engaged in enriched our experience, although the food quality and service could use improvement. The interactions with some staff were delightful; however, consistent communication was lacking. Overall, it was a memorable experience, but improvements in dining and service efficiency would elevate it to perfection.
