8/10 Good
"The hostel is ok, enough from a regular stay. Not all the staff from the bar were kind, the reception was not very welcome, but they were formal. We booked a your to Chobe for one price, and when we arrived the price had increased and yhey charged us the new price, not the booked one, so be careful. In general is ok to stay. We had an issue with the AC in our room and they fixed on the same day. Food on yhe bar was ok."

"Good hotel on the banks of the Zambesi. Our room was right next to the river with view from the deck. Restaurant and bar also had a good view, large grounds to walk. Not far from the falls and only a $10 taxi fare. The Zambian side has a great view of the sunset along the line of the falls and no need to hurry to the exit for exactly 6 o'clock. Local taxi took us to the border and helped with immigration to Zimbabwe where a friend of the driver was waiting to take us to our hotel. Only $35 and no concerns and no need to walk with bags."

"Our room was about what I would expect for a mid-range guest house in Zambia. The beds were fairly comfortable and the room was clean. The adjoining bathroom was small, but it worked. we didn't actually eat the breakfast as we were out and about before it was served, but the cafe packed us a small breakfast the night before to take with us which was great. we did eat pizza one night and it was awesome! Some of the staff at the front desk were amazing and went above and beyond to help us book our day trips, the evening front desk person was friendly but not as helpful. I would probalby stay here again"

"Wonderful stay at an authentic African lodge with beautiful views from their restaurant deck. We stayed in the family chalet which was on the outer rim of the campus. The staff was very hospitable and accommodating. We were able to borrow an electrical conversion box from the reception. Baboons were wandering during the morning and afternoon. We saw crocodiles and elephants in the early evening. We enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend staying in the National Park. We also strolled through the Avani and Royal Livingstone pathway from the Falls where we saw giraffe, impala, zebras and baboons."
