Lovely location and facilities! Great customer service too. Bring drinking water though - or be prepared to boil it all and drop a chlorine tablet in

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!

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

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
