I have stayed at this backpackers several times since 2008 and I can definitely say each year it gets better and better. The staff has always been very helpful and friendly and the food at the kitchen (although sometimes a little slow) is always great value. I'd even go far to say the best french fries in Lusaka! The backpackers... More

It is quite difficult to write an objective review on the Lusaka Backpackers Lodge. The place has always welcomed me to Zambia and has waved me goodbye, thus being of great sentimental value to me. First great plus of LB is the excellent location, right in the middle of town. It is close to everything in the big village Lusaka... More

Place is fine, its not the most amazing backpackers i've ever been in, its a little tired but, and could do with new matresses in the rooms i stayed in but its fine. Friends stayed at kalula and would have rather stayed here. Food was very good and cheap, only about 10mins walk from the levy centre 20kwacha from taxi's... More

The place is quite small, but there are a few places to sit and relax. The bar is usually packed in the evenings by ex-paths. But it's a good place to stay for a couple of nights.

We stayed at the backpackers for a few days just passing through Lusaka. Nice place, the staff were really friendly and pretty helpful! I found the drinks at the bar were quite expensive, and room price was a bit high. It was noisy near the bar, but they closed it quite early so it was nice. They helped us with... More

Only stayed at this hostel for one night, but found it to be a great place to stay if you're passing through Lusaka. Has a good bar/restaurant, small swimming pool and good mix of dorms and private rooms.

A nice hangout, relaxed atmoshpere. A place with a small swimming pool (locatio a little odd), sofa's in the shade a pool table and a nice bar. Enough coctails to drink a couple of evenings every evening something new. Local as well as international food (hamburgers are nice). The staff is very friendly and helpful with finding the right direction,... More

There is not much to do in Lusaka, but all roads lead there so if you are a traveller. want a cheap place to stay and see other people that are backpacking through Zambia then this is your place. There are male and female dorms with nets. We had a double room in the main house that was sparce, but... More
