The Hostel grounds themselves and the tent was very clean. We just did not realize that by booking a “double room” that it was actually a tent. The provided fan was nice and kept us cool in the evening and pool kept us clean during the day.
The location though is a bit outside of the town center though so you either need a car or to call a taxi to get anywhere.
The restaurant onsite was okay, but it wasn’t explained to us that occasionally they have a special BBQ and you can’t order anything else from the menu. If we knew that at the time, we would have stopped at the market and self catered.
But the staff was all lovely and helpful.

Habitació petita i no hi ha possibilitat de comprar aigua ni begudes. Només tenen un sistema de refill d’aigua que surt molt car si només necessites una mica d’aigua

Great stay for first 3 days self drive holiday Zimbabwe/Botswana. We had two rooms in this lovely hostel in Victoria Falls Town. Good price/quality ratio. We liked the swimmingpool, nice garden, breakfast and relaxed atmosphere. We booked through the hostel a dinner cruise, bike tour and helicopterflight: everything was perfectly organized! You need a taxi (5-10 minutes) to go to the city centre after dark which was no problem for us.

Wouldn't recommend staying here unless you're on a tight budget. None of the bathrooms had any hand soap, which was just unhygienic, nor did they have any hand towels. It lacked the most basic amenities. The 6-person dorm was incredibly cramped, and if you were on the bottom bunk, the ceiling was so low that you'd slam you head just sitting up. All the mosquito nets had holes. The wifi didn't reach the rooms, so you need to stand outside if you want to access it. You have to pay for water. You can't rent a towel. Additionally, there was no option to stay in an all-female dorm, so we were in the uncomfortable situation of sleeping in a room with a man 3x our age. Safety was good and location was fine, 20 min ish walk into town, but overall was a very rundown hostel lacking a lot.

Good value place to stay in Vic. Falls. Clean and comfortable. Staff friendly and helpful. A large group did turn up and were quite noisy, but not the hostel’s fault. Be aware that walking after dark is not advised as elephants come into town. The falls are a 15 minute walk from the hostel. I recommend this as budget place to stay.
