Guest Reviews

• Oliveira (9/5): -
• Marina (9/5): Chill place - Chill place, clean, spacious room.close to shops, supermarkets. Walk to falls.
• YONGYI (9/5): GOOD - GOOD
• Ellis (9/5): I was there for one night, the private room I rented was very nice - The private room I rented was very nice. The decor was nice and the bed was comfortable.
• SerapGöke (4/5): -
• MARIO (9/5): - Good place for a few days Dormitory a bit cramped. They ha e fans but nowhere to plug
• YONGYI (9/5): very proactive and friendly - Very good, I feel that every employee has received training and is very proactive and friendly towards people, actively greeting and helping. The garden is very beautiful. If WIFI coverage were wider, it would be great. I have to go out in room 6 to receive it. But everything else is good, and there is also a kitchen where you can cook for yourself. no
• Tomas (9/5): Very nice place, a lot of different places to sit an relax, the staff is very friendly and the location is convenient. -
• Tomas (9/5): -
• Weiss (10/5): - The Staff is really nice and always there to help. My room was also very comfortable and i really liked my stay. Its not far from the bus station and a shoprite is also near. The kitchen was good and clean, but some items (like a knife or a cooking stick) were missing.
• Sébastien (8/5): -
• Guillaume Carton (1/5): Je ne recommande pas ce logement inconfortable, infesté de moustiques et sans wifi dans les chambres - Le personnel est le seul point positif de ce logement, les employés sont adorables Pas de wifi dans les chambres, il faut se coller à la réception pour avoir de la connexion. Que ce soit dans les chambres, les salles de bain ou les partie commune : il y a une invasion de moustiques absolument partout. Et rien n'est fait pour lutter contre cela. Logement situé à côté d'un établissement qui met de la musique super fort toute la nuit, impossible de dormir. Les lits sont très inconfortables, j'ai eu mal au dos.
• Kristin With (6/5): -
• Wencke (8/5): Zum Wohlfühlen - Einrichtung, unzählige Sitzmöglichkeiten, internationale Steckdosen, nettes Personal Mangelhafte Ausstattung in der Küche, sehr begrenztes W-Lan und durchgelegene Betten
• Boitshepo (10/5): My stay was amazing i will be back soon - I liked the pool bar beers were always cold ,the bathrooms were always clean the staff were amazing ..
• Guest (7/5): -
• Sébastien (9/5): -
• Anna (9/5): -
• Debra (8/5): - It has an excellent location The room was okay, it needed abit of cleaning and it was dusty. But that's my only complaint
• Lien (9/5): Het verblijf had alles en meer dan verwacht! - Alles zag er heel kleurrijk uit, echt zoals Zambia is! De accomodatie bied veel verschillende activiteiten aan in Livingstone en zelfs in Botswana! Het zwembad was echt fantastisch met dit warme weer. Het zwembad werd ook elke dag gepoetst! Het verblijf is op wandelafstand van supermarkten en restaurants. Heel vriendelijk personeel! En de ‘Braai-avond’ op donderdag is heel tof en je krijgt waar voor je geld. De keuken sluit vrij vroeg waardoor we meestal uit eten gingen. Voor ons was dat geen probleem, maar zou wel een pluspunt zijn om de keuken wat langer te openen.
• Dariusz (9/5): -
• Tiza (9/5): -
• Kumar (10/5): Very good - Location and facilities Room size is short and no TV
• Sharon Lesedi Sengo (10/5): -
• Daniela (10/5): Immer gerne wieder! - Immer gerne wieder!
• Daniela (10/5): Sehr empfehlenswert - Anlage war ruhig. Staff war super nett - vor allem auch die Besitzerin. Es wurde versucht alles möglich zu machen. Ich hatte sogar mein Einzel-Dorm. Es war mein zweiter Aufenthalt und ich komme gern wieder. Leider hatte die Küche 1x früh morgens ohne Vorankündigung geschlossen. Also kein Frühstück.
• Veronika (8/5): -
• Theworldbylucas (10/5): -
• Sean (10/5): Very happy with my stay at Victoria Falls Backpackers and hope to return in future. - Very helpful staff, good location and good value for money. Victoria Falls Backpackers met all my expectations and I was very happy with my stay.
• Jeremy (9/5): Really relaxing stay and the staff were a lot of fun - Run by a very helpful and friendly family, very clean and comfortable
• jose vicente (10/5): - everything
• Anna (10/5): -
• Nadia (8/5): - Schöner Aussenbereich mit vielen chill-out Möglichkeiten. Ich war im Frauenschlafsaal mit 4 Betten. Es hat alles was es braucht. Matratze und Bettdecke sind super bequem, ich habe gut geschlafen. Der Raum ist zwar ziemlich klein, aber ich war alleine da. :-) -
• Andrei-Sebastian (8/5): The accommodation was good. - The location was perfect, a few minutes from the city centre. The staff were very friendly, polite and helpful. The place is tidy and very well maintained, offering many facilities, including activities around Livingstone. Unfortunately their neighbours played music everyday, until late hours. It was sometimes very difficult to fall asleep due to the noise. This matter significantly can affect their business on long-term. No blanket was provided, only a very thin blanket cover, which is not enough for the colder nights. The wifi was completely unreachable from the room. You had to be either outside (surrounded by mosquitoes) to have access to internet or to have mobile data on your phone.
• Doubt (5/5): reasonable - the service was top tier, the bar, the food and very clean linen the toilet had mould on the wall, no toilet door. the beds were a bit uncomfortable, and the rooms are very small
• Julian (10/5): Gente maravillosa. - Pirri el recepcionista una muy buena persona, también el vigilante, el desayuno fantástico. El colchón no era muy bueno y estaba muy usado.
• Aliyu (10/5): It was a nice - The staff and the environment meets my expectations
• Claudine (7/5): -
• Tumelo (8/5): I loved it. Would definitely go back again. - Great ambiance , great staff, a lovely swimming pool, cold beers from the bar.. and lots and lots of places to sit and relax, they even have hammocks too! It's located a few minutes drive from the border and few minutes walk to town center and markets. Staff was super helpful and welcoming to me. They even found a great place for me to gety hair done!! I found the place to be as advertised.. so no nasty surprises.
• sarah (9/5): This was our 1st time at a backpackers. Overall fairly impressed. The facilities and the staff were great. - Pool and social areas were great Beds not overly comfortable
• Zeljko (9/5): - Location is great. Staff was very friendly and helpful , special thank to David, very cool and good guy. The only thing to improve is to install some wifi repeaters to cover all the appartments and the mattreces are too soft.
• Jacqueline Tori (7/5): It was a short stay but I should say the team there was very welcoming and friendly - Very friendly stuff and very helpful Tight space, rooms are not spacious. Not worth the cost
• Kabo Motshidi (8/5): - Mr Phiri was just exceptional host Nothing
• Borach (10/5): Fantastic - Everything was fantastic, the room, the staff, the pool and overall atmosphere
• andre (3/5): - the outside areas many staff but none of it professional
• Ana Paula (8/5): Peu mieux faire ! - La piscine, les lieux communs, les lits, les tours proposés, certains membres du personnel à l'accueil surtout Péri. Mon lit ne permettait pas de recharger mon téléphone. Le manque d'ustensiles pour cuisiner. Le fait de 'e pas pouvoir aller à certains endroits car appartenant à une association. Certains membres du personnel moins sympathiques (vous oblige à régler votre chambre et faire un check out la veille au soir). Mauvais rapport qualité/prix
• Knut (7/5): - Great common areas outside, great staff! Beds were too run down for that price, no Moskito nets at all.
• Patricia (10/5): Great Place - Central Location - The place is central to all locations I needed to visit including the town centre, market and museum. Nothing.
• Julia (10/5): -
• Marina (9/5): -
• Odera (7/5): It was a good stay, worth the amount - The swimming pool The washrooms
• Ralph (8/5): -
• Aimée (8/5): Agréable - La chambre était propre bien décorée, le personnel accueillant et l'établissement était en plein centre à coté des commerce. La chambre n'était pas climatisé heureusement qu'il faisait beau; Pas de Wifi dans les chambres et le nettoyage des chambres n'était pas automatique
• Alex (8/5): -
• Aleksei (10/5): -
• Maddie (10/5): -
• Serdar (10/5): -
• Valentina (10/5): - The best thing about this place are people running it! Maybe internet access in the room would be a good idea. Because, even if you charge separately, many people will prefer to pay it, rather than go outside to battle the mosquito army.
• Zhenzhen (7/5): Clean, friendly, helpful but too hot in the middle of October. - Location, safety It’s too hot at night, I guess the hostel is a really eco friendly accommodation, there is only a fan in the room, but a fan doesn’t really help in the middle of October, even if you open the window, it’s still too hot. When you leave the windows open the mosquitoes will swarm in and eat you up.
• Trupal (7/5): -
• Desiree (10/5): - Need aircon pls
• Keiko (7/5): - ・Staffs are friendly ・The shower had no hot water
• Patrick (8/5): - Le personnel. La note de 8 est donnée car c'est une ADJ.Sinon ce serait moins. Le bruit dans la nuit du vendredi au samedi.Il y a un restaurant dansant ou une boîte de nuit en face.Infernal.
• Bruno (10/5): - Phiri é muito gentil e me ajudou muito durante minha estadia. Agradeço muito o esforço que fizeram para que eu pudesse recuperar itens de valor sentimental que ficaram no quarto. Podiam ter armários para as mochilas nos quartos.
• Larba Hubert (7/5): NA - Les echanges avec le personnel La qualite du wifi, la non disponibilite du wifi dans les chambres et labsence de restaurant
• Tayeb khan (9/5): -
• Caroline (4/5): - Nice location and staff. No mosquito net in the room was very disappointing considering the immense amount of mosquitoes in the area.
• GeunHyeong (10/5): 너무 좋아요! - 아직 개봉한지 안된건지 사람이 많이 없었던것같아요. 덕분에 친구랑 4인실에서 편히 셨어요. 아침 조식 주문해서 먹었는데 맛있었어요 부대시설이 많아서 좋아요. 따뜻한 물도 잘 자나오고 직원도 무척 친절합니다. 특히 , 안전요원있어서 든든해요 위치도 시내 중심 및 합승택시 정류장, spar, choperite랑 가까워서 좋아요. 천장에 쥐가 있나봐요 밤새 부스럭 거리는 소리땜에 자는게 좀 신경쓰였어요. 그거빼곤 다 괜찮았어요
• Arturo (8/5): Strategic place to stay in Livingstone -
• Catherine (9/5): Excellent - The property is lovely and clean with lots of chilling areas and staff were very helpful with organising activities. There were no mosquito nets
• Mah (10/5): Simple but clean - I stayed just one night but it was what I needed
• David (6/5): Pleasant -
• Richard (10/5): If you want to see it all and are on budget, don’t look further! - Excellent customer service, very kind and friendly staff, positive vibes, very helpful advising on and booking activities. Would come again!
• Nash (8/5): Very good -
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jan (6/5): Pleasant - All the staff were really nice and helpful with everything. The hotel seems like a nice place with many outside areas to hang out so we appreciated them. The room itself was really small. But the bed we slept on wasn't very comfortable. Also there was an issue with the hot water and the water pressure in the shower and also with the toilet. There were no towels - be prepared! We don't know how often it's happening there, but there was a party with loud music both nights we stayed in.
• Roelof (8/5): Great experience - Friendly staff, very nice and quiet location in the middle of Livingstone. Na
• Jan (7/5): Good -
• Djamila (9/5): Superb -
• Hitoshi (4/5): Disappointing -
• Frank (7/5): Good -
• Toshikan (10/5): Highly recommended - It's very convenient to go to the supermarket. It takes about 20 minutes from here to Zimbabwe border by taxi USD10. It takes approximately one hour from here to Botswana border but we have to wait until passengers are already full.
• Benjamin (10/5): Hospitable - No comment No comment
• Alexander (10/5): Amazing Start to an Africa Trip - The staff was lovely and helpful, the toilets were clean, the facilities were nice, the pool was beautiful, the kitchen was great, the toilets were clean, and the location was great. The kitchen could have had more cooking utensils.
• Elisabeth (10/5): Exceptional - Very cool hostel! I really enjoyed my stay! The staff is really nice and helpful. The kitchen equipment is a little sparse
• Ben (7/5): Good -
• David (6/5): Pleasant - Good environment to stay. Wifi is bad. Bed is too soft.
• Hadiya (8/5): Great backpackers in Livingstone! - The dorms I got were good. My lock did not fit the lockers there, but I was lucky to be alone in the dorms so I had a key for the door. It's a very big backpackers, with a nice pool, and a small bar. The staff were really friendly and accommodating and helpful. They have a free shuttle from the border which was great. You have a supermarket and ATM 5 min walk from the place, lots of restaurants around, and the best bar in Livingstone "Limpo's" is 2 mins away - check it out! Nothing really. It was a bit empty, so no other travelers to mingle with. Otherwise everything was great.
• Pacific (4/5): Holible - The place location was good, I booked for 7 days i ended up staying 6 days and there was no refund for one night, rooms are small, no TV for the guests, no fridge and next there is a pub that close 2am...there The music it's louder ...you can not sleep ..but the stuff are very kind and professional. Small rooms with no TV or guest fridge.
• Laurent (8/5): Very good - the vibe the noise
