This is a great hotel. Our river view room was spectacular. The staff were friendly. The overall surroundings are brilliant, well maintained, and we saw elephants having lunch in the neighbouring national park from a few feet away (through an electric fence!). It's well located to get into Livingstone and you really can't beat staying right on the banks of the Zambezi. The pool is nice, if slightly smaller than expected, and not heated. The service was sometimes slow. Food was good, not exceptional. But overall, a very positive experience and I'd stay here again if we return to Livingstone.

We loved the ambiance and the authentic African vibe of the hotel. The view of the Zambezi River is just gorgeous and the grounds and restaurants are lovely with very tasty food at reasonable prices. We took advantage of the spa and I had both a facial and a massage that were very relaxing and I would highly recommend. The activities director was very helpful and made our stay effortless as we toured both sides of Victoria Falls, Chobe National Park, The David Livingstone museum and went on a lovely sunset cruise on the Zambezi River which is a must do !!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Rude front desk checking in and out. Tried to charge me for someone else's drinks, and continued to argue after I showed my receipt. Room design is clunky and could be dangerous for people who are not extra careful ie stairs INSIDE the rooms. Food was good and bar staff friendly but does not make up for the desk or lack of value here

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.

This hotel is beautiful. The grounds are well manicured. The check in was easy and fast. The staff is professional and courteous. The room was very clean, spacious and comfortable. The bed was excellent. We had a clogged shower drain and when we reported it, Maintenance was there immediately to address the issue. We needed a half hour late checkout and they gave it to us without question. The restaurant was delicious, as were the cocktails. Very reasonable prices. The infinity pool is fantastic sitting just above the Zambezi River. We would definitely stay here again.

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.
