On a recent trip Zimbabwe via Livingstone we stopped and stayed in the Livingstone Protea Hotel. The service was great and rooms great. More

We arrived at Livingstone airport after suffering a four hour transit at the worst and most unsafe airport of Johannesburg where stealing from baggage is rife to be meet by our guide to transport to the Protea Hotel which is conveniently situated a short distance from Victoria Falls. The Hotel was well presented and the staff all very friendly and... More

I still don't know why is the hotel a 3 stars? It's breautiful and great service. We were given a better price makes it an even better experience. The hotel location isn't the best but close to a few shops and restaurants. We took taxis to town and the falls. The food in the hotel was good with hotel prices.... More

Sufficient for a functional stay, sleep, shower and breakfast....not sure I would have enjoyed this for my home base as the entire Victoria Falls experience. At breakfast, there were people in business suits, so it must be a business hotel. The room was OK, I'd say the room felt "colder" in person than the photos make it look on their... More

The staff at the Protea could not be more friendly or helpful, but they also made some blunders – eg chlorinating the swimming pool at 5pm on a day when it was 48 degrees! Which meant nobody could swim until 8pm. The restaurant was seriously underwhelming. I'm not sure if I would stay there again. I think there are other... More

This was not the African experience we were hoping for, but we were booked here after losing our reservation at one of the other hotels. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and did everything they could to make our stay a pleasant one. For being a newer hotel, the rooms were very average and there were no screens on... More

I stayed in this hotel for only one night. My stay was comfortable. Room was clean, quite at night, service was really nice. There were mosquitoes everywhere but it is hard to avoid them. The only drawback is location: there are other hotels in town that offers a lot more but then they cost almost twice as much! We stayed... More

I stayed at this hotel for only one night, for a brief visit to Zambia for the sole purpose of seeing the magnificent Victoria Falls. It has a very attractive layout, with many little ponds and vegetation, and featured comfortable rooms. A continental breakfast was included in the price of the room, and you could upgrade to a full breakfast... More

I stayed at the Protea Hotel Livingstone on a trip to Victoria Falls. The reviews indicated that it was a nice hotel with great customer service. However, I believe that some of hte reviews are for the wrong hotel. For example, the "Something out of Africa" review for this hotel is for the Royal Livingstone Hotel NOT the Protea Hotel... More
