Exellent Lodge
Pros:

Good restaurant, enough options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Food quality was excellent. Clean and well kept hotel with a good location (walking distance to Vic Falls national park 2,5 km - safe walk). Extremely friendly and helpful staff. Hotel arranged all our activities that we pre-ordered in advance and everything went smoothly.

Pros:

Batonka Lodge was booked as part of a package trip that we did to Africa. However, we extended our trip so stayed two additional nights at the Lodge. The lodge is small compared to some other places that have recently been built or being built but it was just right. It had a really cozy colonial feel to it. The staff were incredibly attentive and couldn’t be more helpful or friendly. The food was great and the rooms were clean and spacious. There was a shuttle bus to town but you could also walk into town or if prefer the lodge would arrange a taxi. They would give you the details of the taxi company so if you needed a taxi back, you could get the restaurant to book the same company. One morning elephants were outside the lodge. Five stars from me and would definitely stay there again. Thank you Lloyd and the team for a great stay.

Excellent ambience plus delicious supper of kudu steaks
Pros:

Having the same staff to taxi us to the Falls and airport

Cons:

Not getting a refund for one night's stay. But that was fault of an airline, forcing me to cut visit from 2 to 1 nt

Great Stay
Pros:

From Check in to Check out - perfect stay. Very kind and attentive staff, comfy bed, impeccable service. Flight crew for a few nights. Easy hotel shuttle to the Falls, $7 cab return. Not a complaint - but the internet was a little weak in #19, easily solved by going to the veranda if you have some work to do. Thank you Batonka Guest Lodge.

Pros:

It felt homely in an African style. It's large enough to feel comfortable, yet small enough to feel cozy.

Super! Pretty, comfortable, clean and so convenient.
Pros:

We stayed for a night at Batonka and had a lovely time. The grounds are lovely and well kept. The rooms were spotless! Bed so comfortable and one of the best showers we’ve ever had! We only had lunch at the lodge but it was delicious. Would highly recommend for anybody wanting to have a more intimate stay close to all the amenities of Victoria Falls.
