Amazing place to stay. Great breakfast with huge variety of foods to choose from. Lunch and dinner menus reasonably priced with excellent choice. Outstandingly comfortable room overlooking the Zambezi. Woken up to sounds of hippos

The staff were helpful and attentive. The rooms were all clean and comfortable though showing age. The air conditioner worked (Hurray!) and no monkeys found the way into our room. The restaurant food was well prepared and timely served. The variety of drinks and such were sufficient.He selections for vegetarians were slim and for vegan pretty much non-existent. A gluten free vegan would have pretty much been left to a salad. But the kitchen knows its market. The "chips" were called "fries" and the ketchup was Heinz. The burgers came with bacon and didn't pretend to be something special. The biggest "surprise" which may have been simply my mistake is that (1) the tip is included in the bill when you charge it to the room (doesn't reflect on the restaurant receipt) so I ended up tipping twice; and (2) the "airport transfer" was neither free nor arranged without hassle. I had to pay half again more than taxi rate to go there and back. So, as the Gen Z might say ..."my bad" . The riverfront location is marvelous but as with all things on the Zambezi the biting insects were not nearly as charming. Bring real bug spray (100% DEET) and plenty of it. The dining rooms are all outside exposed to the elements.

I stayed in this hotel for two nights as soon I arrived in my room, I have noticed no wifi signal and I reported to front desk. Front desk said IT person will be there shortly. No one showed up, I had to do some work so after waiting for him a while, I decided to go in lobby and perform my work. Next day I told them again about my situation and they said they are fixing it. I told manager on duty to come with me in my room to see for himself. He spent 30 minutes trying to explain to his IT with the situation and they came around 1030PM on my last night to provide me with hotspot which I will not need at this point. If you are on business trip, stay away from these folks...

Had a great time, the view is amazing and sunset should never be missed. My wife used the spa and it was first class.

Wonderful location, great staff, very relaxing post safari stop

I had the Riverside suite and it was lovely and large, although the spa pool was unheated, and the river was barely visible through the trees. I did enjoy the visit from the vervet monkeys, and the staff were super friendly, especially the Activities center staff. Also had a great massage. Lovely place to stay.

The location was wonderful and the views were magnificent . The suite was very big but they really need to train their staff on 5 star standards . There were a lot of them doing basically both just hovering . They need training. The staff at the spa were well trained though, five star ! The mosquitos were horrific. They move in clouds ! They really should fumigate ! Despite insect repellents they were still swarming you. For the amount of money they charge they really should do something about that!

Absolutely loved it. We had a wonderful time.

Wonderful stay, food excellent and staff very good

Nothing wrong just booked by mistake wanted 19 September

We had a wonderful stay at the David Livingstone. Beautiful location, friendly staff, and great excursions.

Situated on the banks of the Zambezi River surrounded by a game park.

We enjoyed our overall stay. The hotel was very comfortable and the setting is beautiful. The room was unfortunately not very clean when we arrived and smelled of smoke. I immediately wanted to open the patio doors but no-one warned me that that is a super bad idea because it lets all the mosquitoes in. I strongly suggest that before quests check in, that the rooms are checked and fumigated, that the beds do not have the old smelly throws and that the air conditioner is left on to clean the air from bugs and smells.

Excellent location, calm and spacious.Staff always polite and available

Devoted and friendy staff, laid-back vibe, accommodating management

Very disappointed especially because a very expensive hotel. Staff extremely disorganised and the hotel has a major mosquito/wasp and bug problem. I stayed in other hotels in the area and they had hardly any insects around in comparison ( also on the river) so i can only put this down to the hotel not spraying. The mosquito problem was so bad that we had to go down to livingstone for drinks 1 night and the second night we stayed in the room. The balcony is completely pointless as you could not open night or day for mosquitos. The only upside to this hotel was that the food and cocktails were very nice.

The location, and the virw were awesome.The rooms were nice and so was breakfast. Dinner was not great and expensive. $16 pp for a shuttle from the sirport is greedy.

The location is superb. I felt like a colonist, the place remined me of period movies, it is overstaffed and over attentive
