“Cozy home away from home”
There are many things I love about this place but I have to mention first that the host, Sizi, is simply amazing!!! She is very social, cheerful, plesant and always so helpful. She was always willing to help me on any matters and not imposing at all. And, she's an amazing cook!! Due to so many positive reviews about her cooking, I tried her food one night. She cooked marinated and fried bream, beef cooked in a delicious sauce and some veggies. They were really excellent. I could tell she loves cooking and her dishes were made with care and love. Sizi made my stay so special and wonderful. The accommodation is kept clean and hygiene. They have a nice driver, Chief, who is also a very nice person. The accommodation is located in a quiet area but I felt secured as there was a gate and electric wires around the house. It may be a bit far to walk from the town centre but it's about 5min ride by a car. So you can ask for Chief's service or call a taxi to get to the town center. One more nice thing about this accomodation is that there's a nice living room in the centre so you get to mingle with other guests if you like. I met lovely people during my stay. If you are looking for a nice view, great food and chilling atmosphere in the Victoria falls, it may be worth going to the restaurant/bar at the Victoria falls river lodge. You can see the horizon, national park and elephants (if you're lucky!). And helicopter ride is a must.

Host was friendly and kind. The whole house was spacious and clean. Guesthouse is located in dwelling area and this made it more interesting while you could see how locals are living. My room was spacious and clean, bed comfortable. Everything you need for shorter (or longer) stay was there. Guesthouse was in walking distance from the city centre.

“A gem to behold in the middle of the jungle!”
The guesthouse was easy to locate using GPS. It was only a few minutes by car to the Victoria Falls entrance and the shopping centre. The rooms were clean and spacious. I found the staff very welcoming and supportive. There is also an option to have meals prepared on the premises. I would book to stay there again in the future.

“Sleep at Pillacol GH + cheap taxi ride + meals at Vic Falls Hotel = perfection.”
Everything we needed for a comfortable stay & Siziwe did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable, [in spite of my physical problems] including a lovely gesture of welcome that we won’t disclose. We found that staying here & eating at the Victoria Falls Hotel gave us the best of everything at a tiny fraction of the price of the big hotels. Being a short taxi ride from the town centre means that it is much quieter than we expected.
