조용히 휴식을 취할 수 있는 곳 빅토리아 폴스 주변에 머물려면 숙박비와 식비가 너무 많이 듭니다. 하지만 이곳에 머물면 이 문제를 해결할 수 있습니다. 저는 처음에 이곳이 아닌 근처에 다른 백패커스에서 지냈습니다. 그곳은 이곳 처럼 숙박비가 저렴 했지만, 주방이 없어서 마트에서 빵과 음료수를 사와 식사를 해결했습니다. 그런데 이곳은 주방에 모든 조리도구와 각종 그릇들, 냉장고, 가스레인지, 토스터, 전기주전자 등등이 갖춰져 있어 식비를 절약할 수 있습니다. 그래서 라면도 만들어 먹었습니다. 또한 샤워실과 화장실이 많고, 매일 시간 상관없이 핫 샤워가 가능합니다. 직원들도 다 친절하시고, 이 숙소와 주변이 매우 조용합니다. 또한 근처에 픽엔페이가 있어서 좋습니다. 픽엔페이나 시내로 걸어가는 길의 풍경이 좋습니다. 밤에 조명이 이곳을 더욱 아름답게 만들어 주고, 밤에 수영장이 너무 예쁩니다. 화장실 겸 샤워실로 가는 길은 정원으로 꾸며져 있으며, 아프리카 장식품들이 곳곳에 전시되어 있고 인테리어 되어있어서 아프리카에 온 것을 실감하게 될 것입니다. 저는 처음에 2일 예약했고, 좋아서 1일 연장했으며, 또 2일 연장해서 총 5일을 이곳에서 지냈습니다. 저는 이곳을 추천합니다.세은 오2023-09-18Perfect place for enjoyable encounters Great place. Clean and good service. Very nice people visiting this place. We enjoyed our stay enormously. Booking some trips was no problem for the great staff. And also the breakfasts were very good.msteen4820712023-08-15Needs work First of all, the positives: the communal area with the pool was very nice and the WiFi worked well. The bed was comfortable and there were lots of blankets to help with the cold winter nights. There is a good kitchen if you want to cook your own food. However, the room itself was literally a shack with a tin roof and a door that did not close properly. You were supposed to close it with a padlock but the whole thing was loose and there were big gaps in the door where insects could easily get in. The roof was very low so my partner who is tall kept banging his head all the time. The bathroom is not in a separate room to the bedroom - it is separated by a curtain but you can clearly see the other person when they are using the toilet. The shower never worked properly - there was either no water or it was freezing cold. The TV was pointed out to us on the first day but it does not work. The whole place was not particularly clean and badly needs to be improved. It's also quite far out of town so if you don't have transport I would not recommend it.emalice92023-07-21stay at backpackers it was a comfortable place with good hospitality ,i would definitely go back again and i recommend any one travelling to consider going to this as their fist option its cheap and you get more value for the price you paydndhlo4384212023-07-17Tenting in Vic Falls we loved this place. they were helpful getting an international phone call. they breakfast was great as well as the coffee. very clean decro was so cute great location ride to airport clean showers with lots of hot waterjkenny8411692023-07-08Excellent This Lodge is not only for backpackers.

We stayed in a double bedroom and had a great time in the Backpackers. The staff is very friendly and lovely. The breakfast is delicious and they can help you book any activity you might want and have trabsportation to take you to the city and the falls for a small fee. Great place!Ana F2023-05-19The Perfect Place to Rest Victoria Falls Backpackers Lodge is a welcoming, confortable, well featured place to stay when visiting Victoria Falls. The lodge was safe and well ventilated, and on-site facilities and hospitality excellent. I would happily return and recommend.cjohns3282502023-03-01Glamping We had never done "glamping" (camping luxuriously) and we were pleasently suprised by how it was. The tents and bedding were clean and there were no bugs, mosquitoes and crawling things all throughout our stay in the tent. The outside of the Lodge had many relaxing spots such that it was actually nice to just chill outside & listen to nature. The only downside was the bathrooms - they need major renovations as they are not appealing at all and not entirely clean too.tbafan4927882023-01-03New places Reasonable prices and a great place to stay for a while. Friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. We had a great time. Traveling back and forth was also easy and cheap if one didn’t want to walk. We will certainly return next visit.Erling A2022-12-14
