Fawlty Towers

A fantastic youth hostel, in a very nice area, with excellent and friendly staff. A very pleasant atmosphere. Definitely would recommend a stay here!

Accommodation and service were top rate! As weary travelers in need of somewhere special to stay we found all we needed at Fawlty Towers. We'd highly recommend it!

I stayed here for a month to kayak on the Zambezi and they were excellent!

AMAZING. It was so cheerful and the staff were so friendly and we loved it. We want to come back just for the free pancakes every day. Richard the owner was hilarious and they all made sure we got the best deals. You made our holiday!

Absolutely amazing — this is possibly the best hostel I've ever visited. The staff are friendly and organize anything you want, from bungee jumping (yes, 111 meters off the Vic Falls bridge seemed like a good idea from the comfort of the hostel) to elephant rides. The only very slight downside is that the top bunks beds are VERY high and don't have ladders, so if you're short, it's probably best to get a bottom bunk if possible! The lunch by the pool is highly recommended, as are the pancakes. In fact, everything there is highly recommended — you just have to go there!!!

Check with the front desk when planning your days — they have some great deals.

It is a beautiful and peaceful oasis. We stayed for three days, just reading and relaxing before we even made our way to the falls.

The descriptions are all true, and this place is great! There is a shady area fenced inside, and it is clean and the staff is very nice! The breakfasts are great too, just be sure to order the night before. Last time I stayed there (summer 2002) the Internet wasn't working, but there was an Internet cafe a few doors down. I would definitely recommend staying here!

The best hostel - stay in the bunk beds! Hippos is amazing too :)
