The service during breakfast was not good at all. We waited for 10-15 mins to finally be served - even then it was with intervention. Servers were busy and were not coordinated. We had stayed here 2 times in the last 2 years and the poor service level was pretty consistent.

The room did not have a TV. There were no vending machines on the facility so the only way to get a soda is when the bar is open. The area between the airport and the town was OK. The town itself was not bad - I never felt unsafe - there were cops patrolling. As you walk towards the VF bridge, it looks like a garbage dump and stinks of sewage / The Zambia side was better. As a walker you were constantly accosted to buy this or that nicknack or hire a taxi, sometimes these guys would stikc with you for 5 minutes. Customs was always very professional. The room had skeeter curtains, they were marginally affective, make sure you spray yourself against skeets. (I think I picked up malaria). When you pay for an attraction (heli-ride, rainforest, etc) you are safe. Recommend staying on the Zambia side, I will never return to this dump (literally)

Very central and easy access to brewery, distillery, craft markets, central town and even easy walk to the falls. It’s a large site with many rooms, breakfast can be full but always lots of food and good service.

Excellent resort for a visit to Victoria Falls and attraction in the surrounding area. Good breakfast. Local tour and transportation booking office. Friendly staff. Very few mosquitoes during daylight hours. Once in room, only had to contend with a few tiny ants and gnats. One downside is that there are no chairs or desk in the room to work on. They also could provide a few more hangers, than the 5 we had. Overall excellent. Would stay again.

Loved it. Great staff. Very friendly and helpful. Only weird thing the WIFI when it came to payment was not working twice in the three days when I needed to pay the tab at the end of the day and they usually couldn’t make change when paying fill, even when using a $20.00 bill. Staff digging in their pockets for change. It was a wonderful place close to the falls. Rooms were very good wish they had a fridge

Whenever I find myself in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe I would choose Shearwater over and over again. A wonderful and serene hotel with good food, nice and hospitable workers and best tours. I enjoyed my stay and would surely recommend Shearwater without hesitation

The room was very comfortable, despite the spiders! There is no TV or fridge, but I managed. The only difficulty I encountered was with the staff and being charged twice for a transfer. The hotel said it was a miscommunication but didn't seem to know the general rule whereby the hotel bears the cost of that. They tried to offload it to me. But ultimately relented. It left a sour taste. The breakfast was good. The pool is very nice.

Overall was good, but the food service is very slow. We had a tour to Chobe NP, we told the kitchen service that we needed to park breakfast before 7am, but we were waiting and waiting and could not get the food until after 7am. The eggs we had in the box was not cooked enough and one of our people was not feeling well after easing that eggs.

We enjoyed the relaxed feel of this property. It was clean and had a resort feel in pool/bar area. This is not a Marriott type or Victoria Falls Hotel type of property but a good value for the money. Easy walking distance to bridge and other eating establishments.

Good location for the falls and other activities. They were really helpful at organising activities. Outlook from the rooms to the back of the neighbouring properties was unappealing. Not shown like this in the accomodation websites. 2 of each beverage item (tea and coffee) in the room for the cost of the room was very stingy.

Great place to stay in Vic Falls. Lots of local vendors near by. They do hassle you a bit more than I like, but still a great location. I had a medical issue and they had a doctor there right away that was able to treat and cure my condition with an injection and medications. The service was remarkable and not grossly expensive. Staff at hotel very helpful and the hotel itself is very nice and comfortable.

Highly recommended, really enjoyed my 2 nights. Only 10 min fast walk to the Zimbabwe entrance to the Victoria Falls national park, amazing views of the falls. I also did a round trip walk to the Zambian national park, toal 12km including all the sights on the Zambian side. Well worth it. Very friendly, helpful and efficient staff at reception, the restaurant seemed a bit less well organised and the odd person was less friendly.

This is a little piece of heaven. I would rate this place 5star. All staff are so friendly and helpful. The little bungalows are so lovely and comfortable. Serviced morning and evening! Lovely pool. Very safe area to explore the village and shops. Shearwater helped us with transfers and some amazing activities/experiences. I am definitely going back to this beautiful place.

A very nice budget hotel. The bungalows are new and in good shape but very small. It is wonderfully located in the middle of it all so it’s very easy to walk to town, shopping, restaurants and the Falls. There are some good items on the menu and the staff were very nice.

I upgraded from a tent to a lodge which was very comfortable and clean, however there was no hairdryer in the room. You have to ask at Reception for a hairdryer and then they only have a limited number, of which they had run out! A hairdryer seems a very basic requirement for the standard of room. Also the "spa" doesn't seem very hygienic. Nice that they offer this service however I don't think they cleaned manicure/pedicure tools between customers.
