This place is excellent in every regard. It is well located and the minute you walk through the gates the friendly staff are on hand to help you. The reception area serves as a bar area too, internet and the place to discuss and book trips. Accommodation is either in dorms or private rooms and both are excellent. It does... More

Helpful staff, nice rooms (I stayed in a single room with its own bathroom). Good value for money, free pancakes at 3pm. The rest ( breakfast, lunch etc) you can order anytime from the kitchen. Small bar at the reception. Shops, restaurants, pharmacy just across the road. 15 min away from the Falls by taxi but they have their own... More

Lovely backpackers in Livingstone with helpful friendly staff and nice location for restuarants and bars and ATM. Rooms were very small for 4 people. They had a good tour office where you could book lots of activites that picked you up from the backpackers.

There are many nice spots to stay in Livingstone, both upmarket and more backpacker friendly. For me, Fawlty Towers is the choice. I've stayed there twice and enjoyed it very much. You should pick the rooms closest to the old pub, but dorm rooms are still more than good enough. The location is perfect just across the street from Shoprite,... More

I left Fawltys this morning after two nights in a single room with shower. I liked the pool and the green garden. Fawltys is also well situated close to a super market and som restaurants. An AC is almost a need here but mine didn´t work. The staff is very up and down - some are really nice and some... More

Dear guest I am sorry to hear that you had some difficulty with the air conditioning. I can assure you that all of the units in the rooms are working (they were only installed earlier this year) and they are all checked weekly. However it is possible that the correct setting or temperature hadn't been selected. All of our staff... More

Nice pool, nice garden and convenient location. Shoprite supermarket and ATMs are just across the road. If you want to buy a prepaid mobile Internet card for Zambia, you can do it at the MTN shop next to Shoprite (1 GB for ZMK 130000, ca 25 USD). (Wifi did not work properly in our room, Flamboyant.)

Stayed for one night in the double en suite room. Rooms were clean, with aircon and with hot water. Food is good, although ordering seems a little confused. Internet is available, and staff are friendly. Free tea, coffee and pancakes are available! The location is really central. Would stay again. It's much calmer than JollyBoys which is the other central... More
