Really nice lodge in Victoria Falls - Recommended
Very nice lodge in Victoria Falls. We really enjoyed our stay. The staff were friendly, the rooms were nice, with a big bathroom, and the gardens and general ambience were lovely. The only thing we could possibly criticise slightly are the restaurant, which doesn't offer a lot of choice - but that probably reflects the limitations of a relatively small lodge versus a big hotel.

Charmant petit lodge
Batonka est une petite structure charmante, des bâtiments de style coloniaux au milieu d'un jardin luxuriant. Le petit patio intime devant chaque chambre est très appréciable, on peut y prendre son café en regardant les nombreux oiseaux du jardin.
La partie lounge et le restaurant sont très agréables, et la cuisine est très bonne.
Le personnel est adorable et aux petits soins. L'établissement est très bien tenu.
J'y reviendrai avec grand plaisir.

Well maintained property. I guess because guests were few at this time of the year, breakfast options were super limited. All ala carte with just two options - english breakfast or omelet.

Absolutely amazing property! The service is the absolute best, the staff is so friendly. The chef makes the best meals ever, so make sure to book dinner reservations. All of the activities the recommend are only the best ones (ie Pure Africa). I can’t recommend this place enough.
Also, make sure to ask Tafadzwa for one of his Cappuccino… he placed 3rd as a Barista and makes top level coffee drinks.

It was a very nice place, great customer service from all of the staff and they were always willing to assist when ever they can. The rooms are very nice and were very clean. The place itself is well maintained, it’s actually worthy the stay. However, I would suggest they increase their TV channels and allow for people to have a bit of variety also on the dinner and breakfast
