A group of 7 friends stayed here for 3 nights. The Lodge is very traditional and our 4 rooms were all beautifully decorated, very clean and spacious. The breakfast was included and was delicious, being cooked to order, even having options such as Eggs Benedict. We also ate here on 2 evenings and the food was fabulous and very reasonable. The staff can't do enough for you, always on hand to help, going that extra mile. Kennedy (manager) and his staff, Caroline, Destiny, Naomi were all fabulous. Our full day safari in Botswana was arranged by the Lodge and was very reasonable. We would highly recommend this lodge and only wish we had stayed longer but will hope to stay again in the future. Thank you again, we miss you all!

Apart from two very blue, very blue swimming pools, the amenities of this outdated grass hut are unsatisfactory.

The manager got us set up with Safaris and river cruises for the three days we stayed, as well as a flight back to Lusaka. Also helped us find a wonderful man, who got us to and from our activities and town. He too was absolutely amazing. The receptionist/assistant manager and the rest of the staff were warm, welcoming and so helpful.

This is a lovely lodge for the budget conscious. The staff were super helpful with reserving activities and transport. The restaurant provided a perfectly fine breakfast, but only instant coffee (yet Zambia grows excellent coffee). The pool was nice. Staff provided me milk for my room and a teapot. Bed was very comfortable.

Fabulous stay. Staff are friendly and helpful. The chef Gilbert is the best. Reception staff Caroline and Ken helpful. Thanks to Destin, Naomi, and all kitchen and hosekeeping staff. All meals were delicious. Close to airport and the Mosi--oa-tunya falls. The livingston museum is a must see and gift shop has great prices. All in all, the people of livingston are warm and peaceful, which makes any vacation great.

Together with another couple We stayed at this property that is nothing short of being but excellent. The staff were all most helpful in every way - they even iron your clothes for you free of charge and arrange tours transport etc. Rita, Kenny, Destiny, Margaret and the owner with the brilliant white hair are among the best people you would come across.

10/10

Excellent lodge in a quiet area of Livingstone. The room was very clean and cosy with a terrace adjacent to the pool area. All of the staff members were extremely polite and professional, always ready with a smile and eager to help. The dinner menu was extensive for a small lodge and there were several different options for breakfast. Although I preferred to walk to and from the city center, a taxi can also be arranged for those who prefer to drive. I was able to book an excellent safari and airport transfer easily. I would happily return here again.

Pleasant lodge with about 10 rooms, located in a quiet area away from busy streets. Lobby and gardens have much interesting art. There is an on-site restaurant, serving mostly meat, but also a tasty vegan stir-fry with rice for $12USD. Some rooms look out over the pool. Outside bar area. It is located a 5 minute walk from the intercity bus station, but is too far to walk from the bridge at Victoria Falls - a taxi is about $10USD. Easy 15-minute walk to shopping area with ATM and bureau de change.

The property is quiet an oasis in the middle of town, but they are burning trash 24/7 right outside of the property and the smell is penetrating everything. Made hanging out at the pool and bar unenjoyable:( Food was safe, but nothing special.

It's a sweet, well situated property and the staff were all very friendly and helpful. It's fairly basic in terms of room, etc. but the garden, pool and breakfast area were pleasing and the lobby was nicely decorated and welcoming. One minor thing: I hope they switch to a nice drip coffee for breakfast cause the instant brand they use is really meh! For those of us who need a good cup in the morning, these things are important :)
