The people and staff were incredible , they had a great activities desk that arranged my airport transfers and activities that I wanted to do, and the rooms were very nice! The pool and outdoor eating areas were also incredible. Great staff and people and overall experience ##### Kelley Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jun 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Menu was limited. Shower makes floor all wet. Never restocked our minibar. Should have a mechanism for late checkout, even if you pay for it. Felt perfectly safe here at all times. All staff were friendly and very helpful. All other aspects were excellent. Would recommend to others and return myself. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas Jul 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved it ##### Thomas Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nina Mary Jan 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Wonderfully friendly and helpful staff who go above and beyond to accommodate and aide in all matters. The lodge is immaculate in every way. My room was huge with cold a/c, a balcony overlooking manicured greenery, and a stocked complimentary fridge/bar, cookies and an espresso machine! In addition to the hotel room/property itself, a highlight is being walking distance to the Falls as well as shops and restaurants. I feel this is a BIG bonus over more out of the way lodges. In my room, all I felt was the tranquility of the hotel grounds - but a brief and safe walk put me at artisan craft shops and restaurants. In all, Ilala offers the serenity of nature without the dependence on cars and taxis to visit anything beyond one’s lodge. ##### Nina Mary ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jatinder Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Jatinder Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### RITA Jan 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### RITA Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bonnie Nov 16, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great breakfast buffet Love their breakfast buffet! Best ever ##### Bonnie Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jephunneh Jan 12, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities A true 5-star resort featuring African luxury and charm at its finest. The exquisite cultural décor within the executive suites is astounding. The free mini-bar at first seems to be too good to be true. It is yours to enjoy. The insect repellent and insect spray awaiting us in the room were greatly appreciated. This is a fabulous property that allows for one to see native animals graze nearby from your room. The restaurant food and staff are excellent. There were a few communication hiccups with hotel personnel. However, the hotel staff works hard to rectify and please. The Hotel does a good job presenting and explaining the Victoria Falls tours and activities. I would suggest that they update their activities list to make note that all activities are on the Zimbabwe side (same side as hotel) except for the Devils Pool which is on the Zambia side. That is very important to know for ones respective Country Visa requirements. Also, a total time estimate for activities would be helpful. The IIala is immediately surrounded by noisy traffic, restaurants, and helicopter tours. Perhaps upgrading the patio doors and windows to thicker and/or soundproof glass (for the suites wing at least) would help. The high arching outdoor hallways act as sound magnifiers and that adds to the disturbance. Still a very wonderful stay overall! ##### Jephunneh Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diana Nov 18, 2023 ##### Diana Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gerold Oct 26, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Gerold Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### JAIME Aug 19, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities La persona a cargo de la recepcion no tiene tacto con algunos clientes, aparenta ser racista. ##### JAIME Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doug Jun 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Doug Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Cheap Hotels in Saint-Laurent](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Laurent-Montreal-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-n177760-0-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Divya Sutra Plaza and Conference Centre, Vernon, BC](https://www.expedia.ca/Vernon-Hotels-Riviera-Plaza-Conference-Center-Vernon-British-Columbia.h1613981.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Fenelon Falls](https://www.expedia.ca/Fenelon-Falls-Hotels.d181874.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Fairmont Vancouver Airport In-Terminal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Fairmont-Vancouver-Airport-In-Terminal-Hotel.h432651.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Leavenworth](https://www.expedia.ca/Leavenworth-Hotels.d10786.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Bella Beach - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Hersonissos-Hotels-Bella-Beach-All-Inclusive.h1081456.Hotel-Information) > > [Buenaventura Grand Hotel & Great Moments - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Puerto-Vallarta-Hotels-Buenaventura-Grand-Hotel-Great-Moments-All-Inclusive.h10481.Hotel-Information) > > [Ubud Nyuh Bali Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ubud-Hotels-Ubud-Nyuh-Bali-Resort-Spa.h22574970.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels.d178288.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in New Orleans](https://www.expedia.ca/New-Orleans-Hotels.d178292.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Maui](https://www.expedia.ca/Maui-Hotels.d180073.Travel-Guide-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Manila (MNL) to London (LHR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mnl/lhr/manila-to-london) > > [Flights from Montego Bay (MBJ) to Boscobel (OCJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mbj/ocj/montego-bay-to-ocho-rios) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Montreal (YUL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yul/toronto-to-montreal) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Singapore (SIN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/sin/vancouver-to-singapore) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Kamloops (YKA) to Mazatlán (MZT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yka/mzt/kamloops-to-mazatlan) > > [Flights from Goffs (YHZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhz/yyc/halifax-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Omaha (OMA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/oma/montreal-to-omaha) > > [Flights from Ottawa (YOW) to Ho Chi Minh City (SGN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yow/sgn/ottawa-to-ho-chi-minh-city) > > [Flights from Montreal (YUL) to Arlanda (ARN)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yul/arn/montreal-to-stockholm) ### Cars > [Car rentals in St. Jerome](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-St-Jerome.d7077.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Cruise > [Cruises to Australia - New Zealand and the South Pacific](https://www.expedia.ca/Cruises-to-Australia-New-Zealand-And-The-South-Pacific.d6023180.Travel-Guide-Cruise) ### Activities > [Things to do in St. Philip](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-St-Philip.d9292.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [New York Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York.d178293.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Dover Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Dover-Beach-St-Lawrence-Gap.d6061241.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Laser Quest](https://www.expedia.ca/Laser-Quest-Grand-River-North.d6291081.Vacation-Attraction) ### General > [Visit Vermilion Crossing](https://www.expedia.ca/Vermilion-Crossing.dx6344423)
