More care is given to the garden than the comfort of the rooms. Beds and dorms are poorly maintained, mattresses are way too thin. Bathrooms are outdated and in poor condition. But staff is pretty friendly and the outdoors are nice.

The dorm was not worth the price. More like camping for high price. Mosquitos get inside room . Shower and toilet are basic. Pool is unusable - algae. WiFi only in bar area.

A great hostel to hang out and relax while in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe. Was an easy walk from the petrol station where I dropped on the Intercape bus. Was easy to organize tours and activities and conveniently located walking distance to shops and grocery stores. Also, about a 15-20 minute walk to the entrance to Victoria Falls. Has a self-serve kitchen and good vibe with a bar, pool, and pool table.

No electricity as far as I could tell, no lights in the dorms anyway, terribly dirty bathrooms, no warm water or pressure, no WiFi, the dorms are tiny there is no where to put your stuff. Tha staff wasn’t able to locate my reservation or a key to the dorm so check in took ages. None of the staff were friendly which, for Zimbabwe, is incredibly rare. I hung round for a couple hours but could bring myself to stay over.

It's a very popular place and good for the evening and night life

overall experience was very average with breakfast being the redeeming feature. the shower was broken and the hot water tap didn’t work, and it was barely more than a trickle. room was smaller than it looked. kinda glad i only stayed one night.

Great staff. Close to town and the Falls. We would definitely stay again!

We travelled to Zimbabwe for the sole purpose of visiting the Victoria Falls. On a limited budget, the closest accommodation we could find with good reviews was Shoestring Backpackers & Bar. We had a wonderful time at the place where we stayed for three nights. The place is a typical hostel-kind atmosphere where you can get to meet folks from all parts of the world. As we were a family and were out most of the time we were awake - we literally came back only to eat something and sleep - we didn't take advantage of the music and dancing and making connections with folks from all over. We did interact with a couple of the guests while using the kitchen facilities. While not up to the standards of the kitchens we've used in Switzerland, the kitchen was very well maintained and there was nothing we lacked while there. While walking around in the area, one is frequently accosted by folks trying to get you to purchase an excursion or buy old Zimbabwe (worthless) currency. Instead of going with any of them, we used the services of the local lady at Shoestring, Angie, who got us the two outings we wished to do at a very reasonable price. Overall, the place was great for us.
