A beautiful lodge located right on the Zambezi River of Africa, we have Never experienced service like this anywhere else. The entire staff was courteous, friendly, and “over the top” attentive to all of our needs & questions.

Great vibe with all races and nationalities mixing to party over New Year weekend. And excellent live bands adding to the fun.

10/10

I really enjoyed my stay here. The room was extremely comfortable and I appreciated the mosquito netting and the tub. Incredible views and lotsa storage space. The restaurant had delicious breakfast and dinners. I went on the boat ride and we saw hippos, elephants, and a big alligator. The store on the grounds had unique and cool bags, clothing, and prints. And the people were kind and considerate. I would go back in a heartbeat and recommend to anyone.

The David is a lovely hotel, if you stay here your experience will be truly unforgettable. My room was spacious, clean, and had a breathtaking view of the Zambezi river. The staff were super helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend taking the sunset cruise and coordinating your excursions with their onsite concierge.

Beautiful hotel right in the river with exceptional staff. Rooms could use an update but the beds and linens very comfortable and nice quality. Difficult to get anywhere from the hotel as it’s not walkable.

I was more than impressed by the facility. It met all my expectation. The staff were so courteous and helpful. I did get value for my money and would definitely come back. The facilities compliment and promote African culture while allowing you access to many modern amenities. Kudos

Property is GORGEOUS! Rooms feel a bit dated though. There was broken tiles and discoloration on grout. Waiters Joseph and Bruce were super nice, other staff felt indifferent to guests. Resort seemed empty but the guests were all put on far side of hotel - kinda strange!

The staff were fantastic and the whole environment was the best I have stayed in for some time. The setting was beautiful and quiet with a great view no matter where you are. I also took advantage of the spa, which was SO VERY relaxing. Definitely on my list to return to in the future.

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
Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020

6/10

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.

Dieses Hotel mißachtet die eigenen, an Ihre Kunden kommunizierten Stornobedingungen. Es wird einfach 100% behalten. Obwohl 50% versprochen werden. Die gesamte Region, die Landesgrenzen haben bei uns einen Lebensgefährlichen Eindruck hinterlassen. Expedia kümmert sich trotz beweisen für unrechtes Handeln des Hotels nicht um seine Kunden. Meine letzte Bewertung wurde von Expedia gar nicht erst frei gegeben.
