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.
