Good

Clean, nice garden and kitchen. Good price.

Staff could do with training and some enthusiasm. Not much comfortable seating and not even loungers around the pool. Poor location. Light bulb didn't work in our room for the whole stay so our room was completely dark at night.

Pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the hostel and the available facilities.

Very nice and cosy room, with friendly and helpful staff. The tours offered by the hostel were easily accessible for a good price. It is also easy to get around to the nearby Choppies for food and meet other travellers.

I enjoyed my trip thoroughly, it was a nice stay! Perhaps it could have been a little nicer if they informed solo travellers of other solo travellers wanting to go on the min. 2 people tours, but I eventually managed to go on them anyway!

Very good

Very good place, but logistically is difficult. It's located between Kasane and Kazungula villages. In hotel there is no restaurant, only can buy some drinks. You need to use a taxi to go to the shopping areas, not recommended to go by walk. The taxi is cheap. Sometimes there are waiting just near the lodge, otherwise you have to walk like 15 minutes through the local village to the crossroads where you can take a shared or private taxi. It's a little bit challenging, but safety. Kasane is bigger, you can book the tours or transfers there, to buy souvenirs, Kazungula is closer, but there is only supermarket and some fast food. Just please note the taxi price might be much more expensive when it's getting dark. My standard room was like a cave, but I liked it. Shared bathroom was clean and mostly comfortable. There is also a kitchen with all necessary. The stuff was nice, they helped me to book a transfer to Victoria Falls, but you need minimum 2 people to do this. Don't scare and book this backpacker guesthouse if you want to live in nice place, but budget.

Location is challenge

My stay was amazing!

I stayed in a shared small room with two single beds. The small room exceeded my expectations. The shared bathrooms were amazing! Always clean!

There is little to not like. Maybe it was just at my room but the internet speed could use a bit of a bump up.

Superb

Great location, nice rooms, friendly staff, clean facilities, refrigerator in the room, two cute dogs running around, great offers for activities (e.g. Chobe Nationalpark)

We had to change the rooms and in the second one the beds were so uncomfortable. The mattresses were super flat. And the heater didn't work in either of the rooms.

Staff need to be more on the ball

Chalets and “caves” blend with the environmental. Use of natural materials.

Staff seem to be not on the ball. I didn’t get a towel even after I asked and was promised one. So I didn’t shower there.

Great location. Hostel has lots of potential just need to maintain it better & communicate better

Beautiful location . I've stayed in hostels around the world and this hostel is in a very unique and wnderous setting.

The hostel has a lot of potential but the management need to keep it up. we arrived and apparently the manager was away so for that reason the bar wasnt stocked and the staff didnt really expalin the excursions well and what they entailed. We expected more from the excursions they organised not broken down boats ending up in not even getting beverages or water.

The stay was good. I enjoyed the serenity and warmth of the environment l. Its such a beautiful place to stay

Its good the bed and self catering. The staff is very friendly and welcoming.

Improve the bathroom in room 4, fix the air conditioner. Fix the ceiling it can be a hazard as some parts are falling off

Everything perfect!! Amazing place

Very beautiful place. Everything was so clean and all the members of the staff are so kind. The pool is very nice. The owner made everything easy for us. The activities that they organized were incredible. Amazing value for money.

The only thing that could be better is the location, specially if u don't have car as it was our case. But it is easy to fix. You have to remember that is a Backpackers place.. so if u complain for walking just less than 10 minutes and then take a taxi to wherever in the village for 0,50€... That means that u are not a backpacker at all! And if you pay a little bit more you can also have a cheap taxi waiting for u in the door of the place

VALUE VALUE VALUE! Comfortable room and cheap activities, but read the review for things to know.

By far the most economical property near to Chobe National Park. While not crowded, it had quite a diversity of guests. The room was comfortable for a single person, though two might have had to squeeze in a bit. Self-catering kitchen was reasonably stocked with kitchenware for basic meal preparation. They are building or renovating a pool that looks like it'll be a very nice area to rest and relax, and it seemed like they were finishing the construction. Bathrooms were interesting, with tent like shower stalls, but the hot water was plentiful and great water pressure (just make sure to use the showers that have the hot water pipes:). You'll need all of your own toiletries, though they do have towels and bathroom tissue available.

Location was distant from services and groceries, so plan a taxi ride or two to get into Kasane or other shopping complexes (fyi, you'll need you own water and beverages, as they only have beer at their bar) - and don't do not walk in this neighborhood after sunset, as wildlife roam and theft has apparently been known in the area. The staff were nice, but not proactive with services or assistance, and they left out some key information for planning activities. I've done every activity many times in Chobe, so I had a good idea of what to expect...but there is a reason that their activities are the cheapest around...not much if any wildlife information offered by the safari guide, though we did get to spot a heap of animals...also, the sunset safari doesn't offer drinks or snacks, so take your own...there's a grocery store and liquor store right next to the little pier where the boat departs from, and there's also no bathroom facility on the small boat.

Excellent value for money. The room was comfortable and exceeded my expectations for a backpacker.

Very loud music and two people talking outside our room until 1 am. Only read rules on my departure and realized I could have asked them to move away.

Nice place, bad times.

Good space, relaxing when you found that. Hot showers with awesome water pressure. Not too far from town, but without a functioning pool... What's the use.

95% of staff barely understand English and cannot provide real guidance. They just tell you, scan the QR code so you know where the taxis are. (opens a map) better if printed on the wall to read. Staff on their phones tapping all the WiFi in the day, so bad Internet speeds and no access to anything. And the pets, the cat continuously jumping in to the room and on to the bed. Oh, the beds, some planks and a piece of thin plywood on top with the thinnest mattress ever. Sleeping on rocks really. Pool was cordoned off. Wasn't aware until I arrived. So no pool time and no compensation. Construction being done on the property at 7:30am, no advice to guests on this. Just... Let them enjoy us doing out own thing with no warning. In all, needs better trained staff. More notices around, and more support.
