Non lo rifarei

Frequentato da persone allegre. Struttura variopinta. Camera pulita.

Lontano da tutto, senza un taxi (costoso), col buio non si può fare niente e di giorno bisogna essere buoni camminatori. La colazione davvero limitata. Il refill dell'acqua potabile possibile solo acquistando la borraccia delle cascate. Il pagamento solo in contanti costringe a portarsi un bel rotolo di dollari in tasca. Una delle due sere, c'è stato un black out dell'acqua in bagno.

No one to attend you by the gate.

Good standard of accommodation for travellers on a budget.

Comfortable place to stay in Vic Falls on a budget for a few days. Easy to arrange a transfer from the airport by contacting them in advance very comfortable bed and facilities generally fine.

It’s a little far from the centre of town/the falls 30 min walk or $5 taxi ride.

Sleepless beds

Great wifi, great staff, good location if your not lazy, chilled out place

The beds, impossible to sleep on, like trying to sleep on a sponge, you just sink though to the boards beneath

schöne Unterkunft zum günstigen Preis

gute Lage, schöne Hotelanlage. gutes Preisleistungsverhältnis, hilfsbereites Personal.

In der Hütte gab es zwischen Dach und Mauer Lücken, welche mit Fenstergaze versehen waren. Dennoch gab es dort Schwachpunkte, wo Mücken hindurchkamen. Gaze am Bett war aber vorhanden. Der Ventilator war an der Wand montiert, sodass der Luftstrom das Bett kaum erreicht hat. Durchlüftungsmöglichkeiten (Fenster und Türen mit Gaze) fehlen leider.

un havre de paix très reposant

la nature présente partout la piscine le PDJ les tarifs des activités et du taxi

pas de repas midi et soir obligeant à sortir à pieds ou en taxi même si la ville n’est pas loin on se sent bien sur place, c’est dommage les clients qui laissent leur vaisselle sale et ne prennent pas soin de l’hygiène du réfrigérateur

Great stay for backpackers

The staff was so nice and friendly and really helpful! Adi and Oli made all our wishes come true :) The lodge is nice, cozy, nothings a problem here. If you need anything, just ask. You can walk to the city center or even to the falls… and if you don’t feel like walking back, you can just text Oli and they’ll send the driver to pick you up. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to anyone who enjoys adventurous travel through Africa.

Great place in Vic Falls for independent travellers

There are not a lot of backpacker-style hotels in Zimbabwe in general, so this one provides great value for money for independent travellers. Clean, good facilities (including large, well-equipped kitchen to make your own meals), cozy space with a lot of plants growing around. Friendly staff and tasty breakfast to start the day. We felt safe walking around the neigbourhood.

It's quite a distance to walk there-and-back to main parts of Vic Falls town and definitely the Falls themselves (most people would need a taxi probably). Also, the room we got was more of a traditional, woody, "open" structure, so sometimes it gets noisy and not all the mosquito nets are properly mantained / attached to the structure (but the main bed nets were ok anyway).

Pleasant

Honestly it was a great and friendly place. For my budget, I got what I paid for. Facility, staff and atmosphere a solid 8/10.

Everything was great except for the fact that there was no privacy at all. No windows and door so it felt like I was camping in the room that I had chosen. Even if I was going to be sharing, I would have expected windows and atleast a door as a bird flew in while I was sleeping. For this reason, it dropped to 6/10 for me.

Comfortable stay and met some cool people!

The staff was nice and helpful. The beds were comfortable and had mosquito nets in place. The property was clean.

It was a longer walk to the town center than expected but taxi rides were an option or about 20 min walk.

Exceptional

Place has beautiful decorate garden and all shared space like kitchen and living room are open so all the time you can enjoy nature atmosphere. Staff are very helpfull and they provide a lot of services: day trips, transport, or on the site massage and hair braiding. Our room was nice (two beds without bathroom), little small no wardrobe but panty of space under the bad.

Shared toilet in a 2 nights stay wasn't allways equipped with toalet paper.

Very good

Nice lodge in a quiet area at walking distance from the city center. The staff was very helpful to book various activities, very good comunication during and before the stay. Clean and confortable room.

The price of this backpacker lodge reflects the more expensive price of the area it is situated in.

Lovely hostel with great staff!

Great backpackers hostel - lovely staff who were super helpful. They helped me organise all my activities around Victoria Falls as well as sorting out transport to and from the airport. I didn't realise the hostel doesn't have a cafe/restaurant (they only serve breakfast) and when I arrived early afternoon needing to have lunch before an activity the breakfast chef very kindly agreed to make me something so I didn't need to rush to town :) The hostel was quiet in the evenings and room, despite being basic, had everything I needed. Would definitely recommend if you are staying at Victoria Falls.

Good stay

Really nice place for people who want a nice and chill ambience, i really enjoyed it there, the staff was really helpful with everything.The common areas are really nice, the small pool in the facility is the best after a hot day exploring victoria falls. Overall we had a nice experience!

it is a little bit further away from the town, but it is ok. Just be prepared that tranfers and taxis in general are a bit expensive in Vic Falls,

Good value for money and friendly staff.

Good value for money, friendly staff and good location. There is a shared kitchen, which is good as it meant we could start the day with some breakfast. The driver (sadly I forgot his name) was really sweet and very professional. Loved the water initiative being done in Vic Falls to reduce plastic use and waste. You pay $5 for 30 water refills, which you can access in town and in most restaurants and cafes. We bought the token at the lodge. The experience in Victoria Falls was magnificent, to experience the falls and see wildlife as you casually walk into town or while you have coffee in a cafe. We also booked a safari to Botswana through the lodge. if you require a visa into Zimbabwe and want to do a day trip to Zambia or Botswana from Victoria Falls, best to apply for a KAZA visa. It will save you money. It’s a multi entry one month visa allowing you entrance to Zambia and Botswana and back into Zimbabwe.

Very good

A good backpacker place, but don't expect anything luxurious: still a great value for money! The service was good, the common areas were comfortable and suitable: the kitchen, the pool etc.

The rooms were quite small and dark. There was a smell of mold and the bathroom didn't really dry out. A shower curtain would have done a lot to keep the water from spreading to the whole bathroom floor.
