Excellent hostel with good breakfast and friendly staffs. Lunch is charged extra but it is convenient. Do bring the earplugs because music goes on into the night!

Great hotel! It's more than a backpackers hostel! Great management a wonderful helpful staff Joy and Miriam and Mathew did a great job! Lovely rooms with AC. Good bathrooms. Wonderful quiet garden with pool. Well stocked bar. Safe parking. Self storage kitchen with cooking equipment. Great outdoor Fire pit and BBQ facility. Good breakfast. A small mall opposite with very well stocked supermarket and banks and currency exchange. Wish I could've stayed longer!

A hotel with a high cost-effectiveness ratio! The location is great, opposite the supermarket 👍 There is a very large garden lawn! The disadvantage is that there are many mosquitoes and the kitchen facilities are a bit rudimentary 😄

It was so much fun. It's in a very strange place, but when you enter, a different world unfolds. I think it was a peaceful place that suited Zambia very well.

It's very nice. Except for the wifi, it's perfect. The swimming pool is good, the breakfast is good, and the location is good. The staff are also very friendly.

Although the facilities are old, the accommodation is always kept clean. One drawback is that there is no internet in the room.

Opposite the hotel is a supermarket and a number of ATMs. The bus station (for the bus to Lusaka) is a 10-minute walk. Nice breakfast spot in the garden. Very helpful reception.
Response from Property: Thanks so much for your lovely review. We are so pleased to hear that you had a good stay with us. With best wishes, Elissa

We had a great stay at Faulty Towers. The establishment is spotless and the beds are super comfortable. It is so well situated right across Shoprite supermarket and close to other shops. All the excursions arranged by Faulty Towers for us were very well organized and went without a hitch. Excellent value for money.
Response from Property: Thank you so much, Alta. We are delighted with your lovely review! Thank you for taking time to write it and thank you for choosing Fawlty Towers. With best wishes, Elissa

Very clean and safe with a lovely courtyard, bar, and pool. The wood-fired pizza is good and reasonably priced. The staff was always cleaning and straightening, and were very friendly. Merriam was extremely helpful. There are many restaurants nearby and a large grocery store across the street.
Response from Property: WanderlustA, thank you ever so much for such a nice review. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us. With best wishes, Elissa

I really enjoyed this hostel. The rooms are set around spacious green lawns which gives a roomy spacious feel to the place. The open style kitchen is adjacent to the swimming pool and the nearby indoor bar could feature in an interior design magazine! The staff were all friendly and helpful. Free pancakes are served occasionally. This is a great hostel with a good travellers’ vibe.
Response from Property: Wonderful! Thank you so much for your lovelly reveiw. We are flattered by your comment that our bar could feature in an interion design magazine. We are slowly making improvements as and when budget allows it and hope to eventually bring our whole lodge to that standard eventually. You may have noticed we are currently building a brand new self catering ktichen amongst many other changes we have done and have planned. Thank you for choosing Fawltys - We are super chuffed you enjoyed your stay. With best wishes, Elissa

I loved and appreciated how close this hotel was to everything we needed, it was fun to walk around and still be within the hotels reach in case of anything. The place itself was so beautiful and green, you would think you're in a whole different place. I loved the nature aspect to it. The service was phenomenal, thank you to Joy, the receptionist, from the minute we got there she was kind and helpful whenever we didn't have something in the room or we generally just needed help. Couple things to note, I would appreciate it if they tried to work on their bee and fly situation. The bees were found at the restaurant area and frankly disturbed me and my friend(I'm allergic). Secondly I hope they can add more to their dinner menu. Breakfast and lunch are sorted, but the dinner part was limited to pizza(which we had to reserve earlier for it to be made. I loved my experience here, it would be my permanent place to stay every time I visit livingstone. And I highly recommend it for group and solo travel.
Response from Property: Thank you for your lovely and balanced review, Sakala. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Thank you very much for your feedback regarding flies and bees. Bees aren't usually an issue... Perhaps there was a swarm on the move during the hot weather. Regarding flies, there do seem to be a few around at the moment, especially because of the hot weather and rain. Unfortunately, however, despite our efforts to curtail unwanted bugs such as flies and mosquitoes, we can't control what happens in the surrounding neighbourhood. Some neighbours have lifestock on their properties, there are other food establishments nearby which may not follow the correct hygiene protocols and there is also a national park close by which has wildlife, all of which attract flies. We do have great focus on hygiene, have those little table fans to repel flies and in fact, we are expecting a truck from SA in the next few days, which contains ceiling fans which we have bought specifically to blow away mosquitoes and should help with flies too, so we are indeed working on the situation. Regarding dinner, up until about 3 weeks ago we did not serve dinner at all unless by request for groups of 6 or more. So, it's ironic you mention we should add more to the dinner menu. We recently built a pizza oven and brought up a chef from South Africa to train our staff on how to make the most delicious pizzas ever (thin-based, as a pizza should be) and now offer pizza for dinners and to be honest, it is likely that evening meals will only be pizzas, going forward. Once it gets momentum, we are likely to keep a chef present in the evenings to prepare pizzas. Thanks again for the feedback. We so appreciate all the lovely comments and we are chuffed you had a good stay with us. Thank you for recommending us. With best wishes, Elissa

From the second we booked we received communication from Fawlty Towers outlining the accommodation booked and activities available. It was tremendously helpful to know what to expect and plan. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed by Timon at the airport and then Miriam and team at reception. The vibe at the poolside bar and restaurant was excellent with unobtrusive but awesome music. Gladys and Sim served us a scrumptious breakfast and mouthwatering pizzas. It is located in town with easy access to all amenities. Don't think twice, you will love this establishment!!!

Everything was really nice and beautiful. Whether it was the friendly staff or the nice organisation. The only thing is that you can offer more choice at dinner. The pizza is nice but for a longer stay….
