Natwange Backpackers

One star because of how the manager/owner treats people, so rude.

Helaas een bedwants aangetroffen op m'n borst bij wakker worden. Personeel ondernam actie om ons in een nieuwe kamer te plaatsen. Echter vriend die er 3 weken later veblijft, treft weer een bedwants aan in de dorm.. Ik zou er om die reden niet snel opnieuw boeken. Verder is het hostel namelijk een prima verblijf.

Not great

Lots of things were broken - no taps in the shower - just the things you attach taps to. Nothing in one of the toilet cisterns (therefore unusable), no bedside light. The owner held a private party in the garden one day which seemed bizarre. Worst cup of coffee I've ever tasted. The staff were lovely though.

Facilities are okay just a little below average. Only one shower has hot water in the whole property, staff are friendly but really it could use more work

This hostel is very cheap and yet somehow I still felt cheated. Nothing works- showers and fans are broken. There are no plugs in the dorms so you can’t charge anything. There is only one key per dorm that needs to be shared between everyone in the dorm. It’s creepy- seems like it’s a converted office (one dorm has the sign “conference room”). There aren’t many hostels in Lusaka and so that would be the only reason to stay here. Would not recommend

Clean place, but worn out. The en suite shower was downright disgusting, the shower head was covered in goo. Windows also didn't close in the bedroom and the mosquito net had holes in it. Considering what lodge accommodations cost in Zambia on average, you'd expect a bit more quality for the price. But the staff was nice and the room and bed were clean.

The location was great- walking distance to a mall for our visa photos, atms, restaurants, etc. We had A private room, looked outdated but overall fine. My only complaint was the bathrooms- they could have been cleaner and the showers were cold. I still used them but I was surprised by the conditions of the hostel when I had received so many great reviews of the place prior to visiting.

Nice place to stay, the breakfast in the morning was good and the location was fine. The rooms and bathrooms could have been cleaner, and it was annoying to only have wifi in the common area, which was quite far from where the rooms were.

I loved the atmosphere and the customer service. Great place. Got moved around quite a bit which I didn't enjoy. But generally satisfied.

Great hostel in Lusaka. Nice pool, lovely chilled out atmosphere and a great place to relax. Not super social but you can get some chats going. Dorm comfortable and clean. Recommended!

Great location, great people! Only had issues with getting consistent WiFi connection. Great staff, always ready to help.

great staff, facilities & location. there is only 1 outlet in the room though, so you probably need to charge your devices in the common area unfortunately. also the wifi is only strong in the common areas, not the rooms.

We dropped over for one evening. Good good , good bed , security 24 hours on the gate . Good spring board to and from lusaka.

Super nice staff, lots of different kinds of people. Close to mall (walking distance). Great for long stays or as a place to go back to for a night in between trip to different locations in the country.

Very nice hostel, awesome people!

2yrs later still feels home away from home

Super cute hostel, lots of plants & beautiful gardens. The staff are lovely and helpful.

Overall I enjoyed my and the staff were friendly and helpful. Does need some renovations especially in the bathrooms

We had a great stay here! We were able to arrange a driver to the bus terminal and walked to the center where there are shops for anything you need. Dorm room was clean and bathrooms mostly clean while we stayed. Would definitely stay here again!

I very much enjoyed my stay here. The staff were the best of the best. Breakfast was more than adequate. This surroundings were very chill. You could always find a comfortable place to kick back and just do whatever you want to do with your laptop or Phone. Only two drawbacks that I see. It would be nice if they would invest in a converter strip, so that there are more plug-ins available. The other thing is the pool has a lot of algae in it, which makes it not a very appealing.

It‘s a nice Hostel. Very friendly! Fine atmosph

I absolutely loved this hostel. The property was quite large and entirely gated. I had incredibly restful sleep and completely adjusted to the local time by the next morning. Next time I am in Lusaka, I will surely stay at this property again.

It feels like a green oasis in the dirty, busy city. So the atmosphere is very nice but the bathroom is sometimes very disgusting und broken.

It’s pretty decent for the price point especially compared to other places in Lusaka. But don’t expect much. The free breakfast is egg and bread. Understandable for what you pay.
