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.

My room was perfect, especially with AC since it was quite humid with all of the rain. The bed was cozy, the shower strong. The food is delicious: a tasty morning fry-up, free afternoon pancakes, and delicious hand.ade and wood fired pizza. But the best? The incredibly welcoming and friendly staff. I stayed here at the beginning and ending of my month in Africa and would definitely stay here again on a future journey.

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.

Charming accommodations in Livingstone

Spent a couple nights here and realized we could’ve easily extended that to several nights with everything to do in the area. Of course, went to both the Zambian and Zimbabwean sides of Victoria Falls, and also arranged other tours through Fawlty Towers to do a game drive, sunset cruise, and walk with lions, all of which were amazing and memorable. The room was nice, with a sizable bathroom and comfortable beds. The public spaces were quite nice, where there’s a bar area (complete with African-inspired photos of Basil and company with the local tribes and animals) and outdoor tables next to the pool. We enjoyed the atmosphere and hospitality, and would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone looking to visit the area.

Very friendly and extremely helpful staff. We made a couple of friends. Would like the room to be cleaned at least once per week as we are not there most of the time with clean towels daily as the towels do not dry completely after use when not hanging outside to dry. Will definately come again in December and will recommend Fawlty Towers to friends and family. Thank you very much for a very pleasant stay. We didn't want to leave.

It was a shame that no hot water brought this review down from a 5 star. Otherwise I was more than satisfied, but a hot shower was something I was seriously looking forward to after a week of bucket showers.
