We really enjoyed our time at the Jollyboys Backpackers. Our private room was clean and having the en-suite was perfect for the warm and humid weather.
The bar also has specials every day, so we were able to enjoy a sampler platter and a bottle of wine for a very reasonable price.
While we were there the Rugby match was on, and most of the locals came to watch. It was very nice to be able to meet with and interact with the local people as well as the other travelers from the hostel.
I used it on a backpack solo trip. When I used it, there were probably no people traveling alone and the room was available by myself.
I think the staff is gentle and polite and standard cleanliness as a dormitory. The details are as follows.
Wi-Fi was only available around the reception and was not available in the room. The shower has hot water. I visited in April but it was a bit disappointing because there were a lot of mosquitoes in the shower room. I was a little scared that there was a big spider at the pillow when I woke up the next morning, but it's African.
There is no air conditioner in the room, and the fans on each bed do not work, so I think it's hot in summer.
It was also convenient because there was a tap with drinking water. The location is perfect and luggage will be kept in a room with a key.
The staff here was very kind and nice to buy, but I was disappointed with other guests. This is not included in the evaluation as it has nothing to do with this hostel. It's just a warning to guests. During my stay, I was greeted by a 40-year-old traveler from Namibia. Then, after receiving sexual harassment that I didn't want to write here before I had a lot of conversation, I continued to be sexually invited. No matter how many times I refuse or ignore it. There was only Wi-Fi in the reception, but I had to pull it up to the room with a minimum use. I was afraid what to do if the person was followed to the room at night or ambushed in the shower room. I thought about consulting with the staff, but I was afraid that I would be reversed by the attention of the staff, so I couldn't say it after all.
Due to the nature of the dormitory, I always have the possibility of meeting such a person, but it was really disgusting. Please note that he often said he used this place.
Excellent riverside room and a wonderful resort overall. The staff are exceptionally friendly and attentive. The gardens and surroundings in the resort are well maintained. The swimming pool is a great place to relax on a sunny afternoon, the restaurant and bar has excellent food refreshing drinks. It gets quite busy on the weekend and with big groups, but you can see why once you experience the facilities.
Apart from the resort it's also home to safpar, they have many different options for travel along the zambezi and falls. We chose the river float, game drive and sunset cruise combo (Around $180) and it was totally worth it!
Will definitely stop by again next time I'm in town.
Номер ”уставший”, но все необходимое в нем есть: холодильник, чайник, сейф. Из умывальных принадлежностей, правда, только мыло. Служащие отеля благожелательные. У нас была нестандартная ситуация: мы не имели местной валюты, а в отеле не было обменника, доллары и евро не принимали. Служащие предложили накормить ужином в долг, но это для нас было неприемлемо, поэтому поужинали остатками завтраков. Тогда на следующий вечер, видимо, решив, что гости могут похудеть от голода, нам ужин подарили. Спасибо за неожиданный сервис! Порции большие, еда вкусная.
我非常推薦我在利文斯通的酒店,這裏的環境很好,工作人員很熱情,可以和前台溝通行程請求前台幫忙訂車去卡宗古拉關口,入境博茨瓦納。這裏的早餐很乾凈,廚房有一個披薩爐,在這裏可以吃到現做的披薩,並且可以觀看歐洲盃,在酒店裡還有一個bar 晚上可以來這裏放鬆認識其他人。非常推薦,價格實惠,環境優美,工作人員親切友善。
I highly recommend the hotel I stayed at in Livingstone. The environment is beautiful and relaxing, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can easily communicate with the front desk to help arrange your itinerary, including booking a ride to the Kazungula border for entry into Botswana. The breakfast is clean and satisfying. There’s even a pizza oven in the kitchen where you can enjoy freshly made pizzas! During my stay, I could also watch the Euro Cup matches here. There’s a bar at the hotel as well—perfect for relaxing in the evening and meeting new people. I truly enjoyed my stay here. Great value for money, lovely surroundings, and genuinely kind staff. Highly recommended!
An absolute gem! The owner, Chantal, is very involved in overseeing the day-to-day maintenance and it shows. They were extremely accommodating - we had an outdoor camper trailer which they allowed us to park and connect to electricity. All the staff are super friendly and polite. The rooms are tastefully decorated/designed and the bed was vey comfy. Beautiful outdoor pool and bar. Can’t recommend highly enough!!
Only 2 suggestions for improvement:
1) A signpost is desperately needed on the main road and T-junction to show where the place is.
2) Put a hairdryer in the room.
Quiet place situated in a secure area.Roads are gravel but manageable even with an ordinary vehicle.
Staff very helpful,great service too.

Very Good
LlxgnetThis hotel is located in the center of Livingstone, across the road is a large supermarket Sprit, and there are some restaurants and shops around, which is very convenient. The hotel room is small, but very clean, the wifi signal is well covered, the garden lawn inside is very well maintained, I like it very much. It was 8 o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the hotel. The hotel staff was very kind and upgraded our room. Thank you very much! This is a good hotel worth recommending.
Sshine_yxlThe staff was very enthusiastic and helped me buy a calling card and told me where the station was. The room is big and the food provided is also very good. I only booked for one night and stayed one more night

SSavannah DubienThe property is cute and has a wonderful and clean pool with lots of seating choices. Breakfast is great. The staff are all very kind and always ask if you need anything. Rooms a good and very clean. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the main street which can be exhausting when it’s 30c+ outside but otherwise in, what looks like, a good neighbourhood. Would recommend.
CChihena BandaExcellent hotel with great service. The hotel has a modern luxurious touch, lovely views of the zambezi river and the staff are friendly. Hard to find fault with this hotel, the outdoor poolside patio had some mosquitoes during the late night. Definitely the best place to stay in Livingstone
GGuest UserGreat place, very friendly staff, breakfast was just scrumptious. From the downsides is the lack of TV and some amenities, such as toothbrush, hair dryer or a rubbish bin. Besides the minor inconveniences I’d recommend the place!
KKANGThe service was good, the staff were friendly and the kitchen allowed me to boil ramen. The facilities inside were clean. Free breakfast was also good. It was nice to have a SPAR at a 7 minute walk. If you have a big baggage, there is a street to go to the bus terminal.
LLvyouzhuanjiazouguo125geguojiaWiFi, breakfast. There is a terrace on the second floor, a bathtub, and a large garden to watch animals up close. You can walk to the waterfall. Guests can enter the park for free, but the price is a bit high.
