Hotels With bar in Southern, Zambia

I can't praise Sindabezi enough, and I don't see how anywhere else in Vic Falls can possibly be better. Gorgeous location on an island, surrounded by the mighty Zambesi river, from where we spotted hippos, elephants, giraffe, waterbuck, impala and a host of fascinating birdlife without leaving the deck! The service, the food and beverages, accommodation are all excellent. The staff are a special highlight - you are appointed a valet for the duration of your stay and a guide for your activities. Both were brilliant and quickly became trusted friends. The resort manager was highly attentive, competent, and caring. If you're going in winter, bring a warm layer for the early mornings and sitting around the camp fire in the evenings, but don't worry about getting cold in the open-setting chalets at night as you'll be well wrapped up in thick duvets including hot water bottles! The days are warm-to-hot and t-shirts are fine. The activities are fantastic - I suggest doing at least one a day. We started with a sunrise boat trip on the first day, toured the Vic Falls next day, and ended our trip with a safari game drive where a family of elephants came right up to our vehicle. The tour of the local village was a highlight.

We booked a tent. During the rainy season, it's very challenging to dry things or keep them dry. Since the pictures already showed limited space for luggage, we specifically requested luggage storage via email. This was confirmed to us... But upon arrival, the reception claimed there was enough space under the bed. However, hardly anyone has such a narrow suitcase. So we had to stack everything in a corner. The location directly on the Zambezi is perfect, and if you want a bit more luxury, you just walk a few meters further to the neighbors. The breakfast was very good, and there was something for every taste.

Overall, for a hostel this was a good experience! I was not worried about safety because there was a safe in our room that was big enough to hold valuables like laptops. However, because it was a hostel the cleanliness of the room and shared bathrooms were average, but good enough for a one-night stay. The restaurant had very slow service because everything is cooked to order. I waited around 45 min for breakfast when only one person had placed an order before me. That said, it was delicious. I think this hostel has a great location near the airport and I appreciated the complimentary airport pick-up and daily shuttle to the falls.

The service in this hotel is extraordinary Staff are really nice Clean rooms and hotel Beautiful reception design and there is always lemon water and cold juice available to refresh yourself Cons The gym does not have much machines but it was very clean picture attached

Great place, very friendly staff, breakfast was just scrumptious. From the downsides is the lack of TV and some amenities, such as toothbrush, hair dryer or a rubbish bin. Besides the minor inconveniences I’d recommend the place!

WiFi, breakfast. There is a terrace on the second floor, a bathtub, and a large garden to watch animals up close. You can walk to the waterfall. Guests can enter the park for free, but the price is a bit high.

The room is ”tired”, but it has everything you need: a refrigerator, a kettle, a safe. Of the toiletries, however, there is only soap. The hotel staff are friendly. We had an unusual situation: we did not have local currency, and the hotel did not have an exchange office, dollars and euros were not accepted. The staff offered to feed us dinner on credit, but this was unacceptable for us, so we dined on the remains of breakfast. Then the next evening, apparently deciding that guests can lose weight from hunger, they gave us dinner. Thank you for the unexpected service! The portions are large, the food is delicious.

The environment is good, but unfortunately there is not a lot of water in the lake during the dry season. The diet is mainly western food, and you can also taste fish and shrimp in the lake. The local staple food ”Sima” is also available.

I used this hostel for a solo backpacking trip. When I stayed, there didn't seem to be any other solo travelers, so I had the room all to myself. The staff were kind and polite, and the cleanliness was standard for a dormitory. Details are as follows: Wi-Fi was only available around the reception area, not in the rooms. The showers had hot water. I visited in April, and there were a lot of mosquitoes in the shower room, which was a bit disappointing. Waking up the next morning to a large spider on my pillow was a little scary, but I guess that's typical of Africa, haha. There's no air conditioning in the room, and the fans on each bed don't work, so I think it would be hot in the summer. There's a tap with drinkable water, which was convenient. The location is perfect, and they'll store your luggage in a lockable room. The staff here were very kind and wonderful, but there was one disappointing incident regarding another guest. This isn't related to the hostel itself, so I haven't included it in the rating. It's just a warning for other guests. During my stay, a traveler from Namibia, around 40 years old, approached me and we exchanged greetings. Then, without even much conversation, this person subjected me to sexual harassment that I don't want to write about here, and continued to make sexual advances afterward. No matter how many times I refused or ignored him, he kept going. There was only Wi-Fi at the reception, so I had to use it minimally before returning to my room. I was terrified of what would happen if he followed me to my room at night or ambushed me in the shower room. I considered talking to the staff, but I was afraid that he would become enraged if the staff intervened, so I ended up not saying anything. While there's always a possibility of encountering such people in a dormitory, it was truly disgusting. He said he uses this place often, so please be careful.

The room door is tiny, and the room itself is small, but the hotel environment is quite good.
