We enjoyed our stay but the wifi at our room (Lozi) was very weak and unreliable had to get a local sim, the room had mosquitoes even after spraying repellent. Otherwise a pleasant and affordable place in Livingstone. Staff are helpful and friendly.

Stayed here for 6 nights. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Grounds were kept clean. The room sufficient for my needs. Tours and excursions can be booked on site. Location was great, a grocery store just across the street and it was not too far from town; 10min by taxi to the Zimbabwe border.

My room was perfect, especially with AC since it was quite humid with all of the rain. The bed was cozy, the shower strong. The food is delicious: a tasty morning fry-up, free afternoon pancakes, and delicious hand.ade and wood fired pizza. But the best? The incredibly welcoming and friendly staff. I stayed here at the beginning and ending of my month in Africa and would definitely stay here again on a future journey.

Amazing property, it is very well maintained and the staff is extremely friendly. The General Manager is open to feedback and the only that I have is that the common areas are a bit warm in the afternoon / evening and buggy. I recommended large ceiling fans for comfort as that is the only location there is WiFi. He mentioned they have ordered ceiling fans and are working on getting Starlink as soon the Internet.
