Great spot for reasonable price!

Facilities are clean. Price was reasonable. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Location is super convenient being within walking distance to the town centre. Loved the vibe and met a few new friends there!

Nothing negative comes to mind.

The location only good thing.

The pool was nice and the location is good!

The room was tiny and did not have any place for luggage. Also the room didn't have any A/C, so the temperature in the room was pretty high in the evening. The mosquito net had ripped from several spots. Also there was some constructions going on on the property, so there was a lot of dust everywhere.

A (hardcore) party hostel

- The waterfall is within walking distance - Clean facilities - Early check-in - Kind, professional and super helpful staff

- Loud music in the evening to attract younger crowd to the bar - wherever I stayed before, party hostels managed to find a balance between catering to young folks and offering some quiet /private space to people who don’t want to participate. This wasn’t the case here. Music was blasting loudly in the evening, even well after 11 pm, so that people had to listen to it everywhere at the property. Maybe this only happens on weekends but it’s something that you def should be aware of. - Wi-fi connection was bad and sporadic - Pillows are small and do not provide much support. You have to fold them at least twice to make any use of them and even then it’s just ‘meh’. Conclusion: even though the facilities are decent, I would not recommend this place (unless you are specifically looking for a party hostel). However, knowing the inflated prices in Zimbabwe, including the accommodation costs, many budget conscious traveler will end up at this place anyway.

Relaxing

The garden was amazing, my tent very comfortable. The staff was friendly and willing to help.

Cafetería was a bit overpriced

Great location, great value, great staff

Nice outdoor area, super helpful and friendly staff, bunks had curtains and charging points and were pretty comfortable. Parties on the weekend but you can easily avoid if you prefer. Great location. Good food at the restaurant.

There should be lockers for people staying in the dorm rooms. Mosquito nets in the bunks were basically useless.

Good vibes!

Friendly and informative stuff. I was not aware that money was not deducted from the app. Luckily I had cash with me and I was able to pay accordingly.

Great

The staff are great, the place has a good vibe and its on a perfect location!

The only thing that I did not like was the party atmosphere on friday and saturday, the music was up until quite late. But I think if you are backpacking solo, its perfect! The rest of the week was fine

the location and staff were fab!

staff were wonderful and helpful! the location is amazing and the facilities at the hostel are great!

the room I was in was tiny! I expect that room to be much less in price considering it is like a cupboard! the laundry service was expensive and the wifi frustratingly unreliable system

Okay to go for the Falls

Best quality is its location, within the National Park. They provide a good selection of food but at a pricey cost, same as everything in the Falls area, super tourist oriented. Swimming pool comes heavenly and you can easily hangout in the common area with lots of interesting travellers.

We wanted to rent some bikes and it turned out they weren't really ready for that. Electric ones were either powerless or hardly working, then the renting fare are again quite high. Regarding the taxi business, they clearly make the most of it.

The people are friendly and accommodating. My stay at shoestrings was lovely and the staff were great

My bedding sheets were a bit itchy like as if the room has been empty and collecting dust for awhile but my 2nd night going forward was lovely.

Superb

Very friendly staff. They cleaned every day my room. I could do check in earlier at 10 am .. they helped with activities and basically everything. I loved the fact they have a goat that behaves like a dog 😂

I read many reviews people complaining about the load music weekends. The music is loud but its not so annoying if you stay in the private rooms.

Very loud local party place, you can't sleep at all

A meager informed me at 11 pm there is a curfew but it wasn't a truth. There were loud music and people were shouting late night. Me and my 9 friends couldn't sleep at all.
