Liked: Staff & service
Positive: Great location and cheap. The arts sold on the premise was great and much cheaper than the arts being sold near the Fall. I bought a wooden elephant for $20 while it costs $65 at Victoria Falls. The staff was great and very helpful. Negative; wasn’t impressed with the food. Seems a bit pricey for what they offer. The rooms are not insulated so it can be cold in the winter or hot in summer. It can be noisy in the room if there are many people on the property up at night since the windows are actually open (there’s only an insect screen), not an actual window that closes. But if you’ve been to hostels, this is not a negative. Specially the shared bathrooms.

A jewel in Victoria Falls

It was awesome. They are doing a great job, from Enochs pick up at the airport, smiling and on time, to Blessing and Olli's continued help and professionalism at the front desk. Also the staff do a fantastic job keeping the place sparkling clean which can be hard to do in a hostel! We were very happy there and can recommend it wholeheartedly!

We stayed in a standard double. It was tight for room but bed very comfortable. Pool was nice just to cool off because we hit the hot period. The internet worked very well. Tent was way too hot even with a fan during the day but cooled off nicely around 8-9pm. Bathroom facilities were not so nice/ipdated. No hot water when we came but because of the heat, that was ok. Staff was very nice and accommodating. Airport pick-up went smoothly. Didn’t use the kitchen self-help but others did. If they upgraded the bathroom facilities and made dining here easier (no hour limit to let them k ow for dining), it would be uniformly nice.

Friendly staff that organized all my transfers and activities, easy to meet people but still have privacy...nice pool area and good breakfast. Walk to town about 2km, so not that far and there is a shop 1km away too for basics. Worked out better to pre book a pickup from the airport.

C'est juste une étape pour voir les chutes victoria pour moi une nuit c'est largement suffisant. L'hôtel vous propose un transfert de 40$ jusqu'à Kasane. Mais j'ai trouvé à 30$ jusqu'à la frontière et si vous trouvez quelqu'un pour partager le taxi cela vous reviendra encore moins cher. pour faire les 8km jusqu'à kasane et non pas 25km comme le pretend la manager de la frontière a kazan J'aie payé 5$. Les chutes sont super belle pour prendre des superbe photo , visitez les chutes dans l'après midi

Nice affordable place to stay

We had a wonderful time in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and enjoyed our stay at the Victoria Falls backpackers lodge. They picked us up just like we scheduled and we felt very comfortable in their peaceful grounds and rustic rooms. Their outside pool and patio is very relaxing.

Our stay was very enjoyable. Customer service was really good as most our excursions were booked through hostel...we had everything booked prior to arrival. Buying groceries was not easy and they really get you on exchange for credit card (US cash not accepted). Pool was very refreshing as the 38 degree temp and no A/C was tough on us older folks and we finally caved after 3 nights and got a room with AC. I would of liked filter coffee just to get my day going. Overall if you are into hostels I would recommend this Backpackers

員工非常友善和幫忙，房間很有非洲特色，但每日均會停電，隔日停水，個人認為不適合背包客，因為出入要坐的士，附近沒有超市人、便利店和餐廳。

Stayed two nights. No water and power on the first night until 10pm. Water ran very weak and had times with no water. Did not wash hair for two days. Other than that it is a lovely place to stay with its peaceful and quiet. It is not close to city centre. Need to take taxi, appr. 5USD each trip.

It was evident that management really cared about the experience their guests would have. No matter how busy, they were cheerful, helpful and always took time to answer questions as well as provide information and help arrange activities in the area. The whimsical touches throughout the property were delightful. It was easy to meet and have conversations with other guests which resulted in several activities we felt lucky to hear about and participate in.
