Lovely place with little cottages and garden around a pool. Very nice people. This place is not in the city centre.
6.0 / 10.0
Friendly staff. Nice area around small pool. Worst fixed breakfast. Charmless rooms. Clean. Economical basic choice. It's OK if you want a low cost basic place to stay while you're out and about.

Gloria's is great. There was a few things that didn't work or took a little to get to be functional, but don't let that overshadow the care and energy that goes into the property, the service, the food and the overall vibe. Gloria is stellar, I had a solid breakfast on my porch in pretty superb weather. It is a little bit of a walk to town but I felt safe and had a great time!

Pros: property itself is cute. Room are on a smaller side but clean. Hot water . Swimming pool . Quiet.
Cons: Keep in mind it’s a small family business where the whole family including kids work there . internet is terrible. 99% of the time it didn’t work. We used ours . TV never worked . It said on a screen time to recharge and it was never recharged . There is no restaurant . It’s just a kitchen and if you want to eat late at night you have to go to town.
While I was resting on a pool lounge a heavy metal umbrella stand almost crashed my head . It was held in a floor by a bunch of bricks but it obviously was not enough to hold heavy metal umbrella stand .
None of the staff even came up to me and asked if I am ok. I doubt they didn’t hear a very loud crushing noise .
Upon check in staff were confused and didn’t know that we even booked the place . We had to wait until they reached Gloria .
Next day we talked with Gloria’s daughter and arranged with her 2 more days of stay as all hotels were occupied because of many conferences and the president visit in town. Gloria said she doesn’t have credit card machine and she needs cash only. We only had cash for one day . We said we will pay for second day as soon as we returned from our dinner cruise .
We came back around 10 pm only to find out that room was apparently booked 2 weeks ago and we can’t have it .
When I went online there were actualy 3 rooms available . Disappointing! Very disorganized!

Gloria and her staff are extremely accomodating. The grounds and the pool are impecable. Breakfast was simple and amazingly served at a choice of where I wanted to be served. The dining room, my room patio or poolside. Gloria checked in twice if we needed anything. The rooms are extremely comfortable and well equipped. I have already recommended it to my family and friends

Gloria’s B&B is a wonderful example of Zambian hospitality. Gloria did everything a host would do and more to make sure I was comfortable and had a great stay. I would highly recommend it. Her price is very reasonable.

Perfect for peaceful stay, lovely host family that made a solo traveler feel at home! Young daughter is charming co-co-hostess! Normal challenges with electricity and wi-fi as are found in multi-star hotels in region. Hosts worked hard to fill the gaps! Look forward to a second stay here in Zambia, easier Chobe trip logistics. Definitely get the 30 day Multiple entry visa at airport on entry. Try to do souvenir shopping in Zambia. For better prices and visit the Livingstone Museum

Gloria was so accommodating and great, from the food to arranging airport transportation. The place is quiet and with character in a residential area of Livingstone, and nice hot showers. The only thing less than stellar was a neighbor must have been burning trash one morning. I would stay again!

Great stay at Gloria's. Room was a good size. Everything worked great. Close to town. Lovely pool. Great breakfast provided, and could eat inside, by the pool, or at a table outside our room. Gloria and her family are happy to offer advice and book tours. Great staff.

Near proximity of the airport and walking distance to the town (several restaurants and markets). The staff were friendly and we enjoyed the fact there was a swimming pool right in front of our room

Glorias is a homely guesthouse within a short drive to Victoria Falls. The room was tidy and the breakfast was adequate. The guesthouse provides a free lift to and from the Livingstone airport which is a nice touch. The only issue was with Wi-Fi which was spotty and never reached the room but this may have to do with the generally poor connectivity in Zambia.

Gloria's B&B is very much 'what you see - is what you get', and that is a good thing. It doesn't pretend to be a 5 star hotel and is priced accordingly, and that is the charm of the place; the staff are very friendly and willing to make anything they can work.
We called on Gloria for advice and assistance organizing our day - local knowledge is always best and being able to obtain it cannot always be taken for granted in Africa, or anywhere else. She was extremely helpful, recommending good restaurants/cafes and what taxi prices should be / which to avoid. Her husband handled all transfers in a modern car safely driven.
The rooms are dated but kept very clean and everything functions like it should. The swimming pool is a welcome chance to cool down, and breakfast is straight forward but made to work around your schedule; perfect for a busy day seeing the sights. We didn't have bug issues but really appreciated having the mosquito nets anyway for peace of mind.
No problems recommending to family & friends, and will happily stay here again - friends stayed at the waterfront and had the opposite experience while paying plenty more!.

We were greeted by friendly staff and showed to our air conditioned room where cold drinks were waiting...the gardens were well kept and the pool was clean and warm. The breakfast was perfect as was the service. The room was very clean and comfortable...everything was spotless, the shower was nice and hot.The location is set 5 minutes out of the main town on a quiet road and its easy to get a taxi to all the local attractions.The hosts Gloria and Alan are very friendly people who made us very welcome. There is a night time guard who is around to open the main gate at all times.I would totally recommend this small friendly hotel to anyone who is looking for a quiet relaxing holiday....we will certainly be staying there the next time we visit...
