The Lodge is very good.
Pros:

The breakfast was very good indeed. However, there is room for improvement on the provision of towels of every size and an alarm clock is needed. While the mosquito net is provided, there is need for mosquitoes sprays.

Cons:

I did not like the mosquitoes.

Not worth it.
Pros:

The location is very close to the Livingstone Museum and downtown, which is nice. The staff are very helpful.

Cons:

The rooms were definitely outdated. The swimming pool was very dirty and doesn't reflect the pictures shown. The breakfast left MUCH to be desired.

We were told the hotel had HOT water by the reception, only to find out there is no running water in the rooms when load shedding is in effect. Then they said we would have hot water once the generator was running; we get back from dinner and inquire again and were told there was "warm" water for the showers... It was ice cold. After a 2 day safari in Botswana, all my travelling companion and I wanted to do was have a hot shower to wash the bush dust/sweat off. We were given buckets of hot water instead and had to make do with that.

Friendly staff and comfortably stay
Pros:

The nicest staff work here! Very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Breakfast was tasty and the hotel is a short walk from the main road. The bar area was nice and the staff put on the game we wanted to watch. Good value. I would stay here again.

Advise the facility to prioritise hygiene. Infections are all over and can hit anytime.
Pros:

It is not far from most attractions.

Cons:

Cleanliness is not their style. Coffee mugs were dirty and they did not have detergents when requested so we can personally wash the mugs. Meals were served late and the food was not good at all. Staff looked and sounded new, they were always apologetic instead of providing better service. Air conditioner was not working. Had it been possible, we would have moved immediately.

Nice place for a short stay
Pros:

The room was large and included mosquito nets for the bed. The included breakfast was hot (eggs and toast) and the pool was refreshing and clean. The property is within easy walking distance of the museum and a local curio market for souvenirs but not close to the falls. There is laundry service on the property for a fee.

Cons:

The electricity load shedding seemed to affect the internet and the ability of the card reader to take our card for payments. They have a backup generator but it didn't seem to help the card reader problem.

Pleasant
Pros:

Friendly staff, they decorated our room very nicely and gave us an additional small light which made the atmosphere in the room a bit nicer. The air-con in the room is nice. Showers have hot water although the bathroom is very basic. The pool is great to cool down. Good location in town - close to the main street with market and restaurants. Hotel can organise transport to the Victoria Falls and traditional African village which is very recommendable. You can ask at breakfast for omelette or scrambled eggs to have something else than English Breakfast all the time. That was nice that they were flexible to cook something different.

Cons:

Staff was friendly but not very competent. They had no real structure with the payments like when we ordered a drink by the pool, they didn't know how to put it on the room bill and pay it later. As well, they didn't know what sparkling water nor cocktails were. There is Wi-Fi near the door reception area but it doesn't reach the room nor the restaurant.

There were some basic things missing in our room like mirror in the bathroom, hangers for the towels and the curtains were too thin, so the sunlight was not blocked in the morning. The hotel was doing renovations at the time which meant loud hammering noises from 8:00am onwards (and they didn't even warn us beforehand). The included breakfast is an English breakfast which was very greasy and the eggs & baked beans were cold.

Worth every penny .
Pros:

The breakfast was basic, just bread and eggs but the service was top notch, very friendly stuff who are very helpful. The place is guest friendly, easy to find and a quiet location , it is a walkable distance to the meseum.

Cons:

The place has a lot of mosquitos so staying outside at night is a bit uncomfortable but they provide mosquito repellant.
