Jollyboys Backpackers

I had an amazing time at Jollyboys. The staff is welcoming and helpful with anything you need. A special thanks to Ruth at the reception! It is a very chill atmosphere and it's easy to get in contact with other people. The food is delicious and there's a wide selection of dishes.

Muy bueno todo y te ayudan a hacer los tour

Super fun social hostel with lots of events and activities going on. The location is great to see Victoria Falls and even travel into nearby countries (Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia). While I didn't book a safari directly with the hostel, others did and had good experiences. The free airport pickup and shuttle to the falls made things very convenient.

Great place to stay , and cater for yourself for a few days. Kitchen is oldish but is clean, well organised and has everything you need. Rooms were wonderful and we upgraded to en-suite with air on. Amazing, hotel style!

Positive - a great hostel witha wonderful social atmosphere, bar and pool. Staff are very nice and helpful too. I stayed twice as long as expected! Negative - the bar closes too early, it should not be closing at 10pm on a Friday. WiFi does not reach the dorm rooms. No mosquito nets in the dorm I was in. All in all, fantastic, but some little issues that can couldbe very easily fixed. Recommended.

Absolutely wonderful, straight 10’s. Nothing to complain at, at all. Everything was awesome.

Schönes Hostel mit gemütlicher Atmosphäre. Unser Zimmer und die Waschräume waren sauber. Das Essen sehr lecker und man hat die Möglichkeit selbst was zu kochen. Das wlan hat leider nicht zuverlässig überall funktioniert und ein paar mehr liegen am Pool wären schön gewesen. Würden jederzeit wieder hier übernachten.

Loved my stay at jollyboys. It’s very lively and fun. The atmosphere is great, bathrooms are clean and it’s close to the center. Very friendly staff

The people are friendly , facilities are clean and the things to do accessible thanks to the staff on the suggestions. I met a lot of good people and will definitely come back in future.

The biggest con is lack of Wifi in the rooms (E-sims are non-usable in Livingstone & internet roaming is expensive). There is wifi in the common areas. Another con is their "free shuttle" to the waterfall was totally disorganized and took me somewhere entirely different, after being very late. So I had to pay 200 kwachas to get to the falls myself ( +200k back). Positives: Clean borehole water. Upmarket looks. Awesome aircon & mosquito-free room. Guest kitchen. Central location. good security.

We're father and son travelling . Jollyboys was The perfect place for us to stay . The accommodation was perfect for us. The organised tours last minute. The food was of a good quality. But the main thing is that they organise trips into Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe. If you want go further a field it's a fantastic base to go and come back too. Bravo jollyboys .

Wir hatte einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt in diesem Hostel! Das Essen war wirklich lecker, auch wenn die Wartezeit leider ziemlich lang war. Dafür waren alle Mitarbeitenden unglaublich hilfsbereit und freundlich. Besonders positiv fanden wir den Pool und das große Angebot an Aktivitäten, alles war super organisiert und gut durchdacht. Ein weiteres Highlight: die zutrauliche Katze, die immer mal wieder vorbeischaute. Alles in allem ein tolles Hostel, das wir empfehlen können.

Great stay. I had a private room with bathroom which was lovely but the shared bathrooms were perfectly clean and fine. Lovely pool. Food is good, fairly priced (cash only)

Auberge très bien située, près du centre et de la rue principale qui va vers les chutes Victoria et le Zimbabwe. Chambres doubles tout confort, climatisation, prises électriques européennes. wifi de bonne qualité. Repas sur place possibles. Je recommande.

It’s says jolly boys is the best hostel in Zambia and now I know why! Great food, amazing staff and a great atmosphere. Wouldn’t want to stay anywhere else!
