Shoestrings Backpackers & Bar

Very nice place - with the spirit of backpackers. Nice swimming pool. At walking distance from VicFalls, restaurants. We were very satisfied of our stay. Thay also handled to find and pay the taxi for transfert from Botswana and to the airport. Some stained (although clean) sheets make that we do not rate it 5.

Shoestrings Backpacker’s Lodge is a nice place to stay for those who do not need luxurious accommodations. I stayed in a room with a private bath and shower. Towels were provided and two single beds were made up. There was a nightstand with a lamp. The food at the restaurant was delicious and very reasonably priced. The coffee was great. Same for drinks at the bar. The best part of the Lodge is the swimming pool. Nothing like a dip in the fresh cool water to refresh yourself in the morning or afternoon.

You will love this property if you like music playing for most of the day. You will also like this property if you enjoy a lot of socialization. The beds are comfortable. The bathrooms in the private rooms are functional, and the staff is generally helpful. The avocado toast with poached egg was good the day I had it. If you enjoy very, very, very loud music on Friday and Saturday nights until 2 AM you will love this Hostel. When I was there, they also had a market on Saturday and Sunday that took up all of the space in their very lovely manicure line. There was no room to sit because of the market. Without the market, the grounds are absolutely beautiful.

Tent was good. Staff were very good. Amenities were ok. Shared toilets need to be checked more often and disinfected to maintain good hygiene. The place had very good ambience. It is safari right in the middle of CBD. I enjoyed my stay and I recommend it to other travellers.
