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!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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.
