I have been to that Camp Site for three times now and still they haven't fixed the lock of the girls toilet. And it would also be nice, that if you have that western toilet, when it has a proper seat. They are also gone at both women toilets. Apart from that i always enjoy the stay very much!! Thanks to the staff for everything.

The kitchen area really needs some work. And I think for a hostel the menu is too pricey. The average dinner prices were 40 Kwatcha! That's why we went to Zig Zag to eat out because the prices were the same (or even cheaper) and there was better selection/value for your money. Other than that our stay was great and we'd stay there again. Thanks!

We really enjoyed our stay - atmosphere friendly and helpful, the food was excellent at breakfast and lunchtime - we were out in the evenings. also, i left a pair of shoes behind by mistake, which they have been most helpful to find, and are organising the transport to Lusaka for me. we will definitely recommend Jollyboys to our friends

We enjoyed very much our stay at Jollyboys Campsite. Carol was very helpful and dynamic. Lots of things to do in Livingstone and don't worry about doing too touristy activities, you'll enjoy all of them. Thanks Jollyboys for this awesome stay.

We actually stayed at Jollyboys Backpackers, not the Camp. We did feel dissatisfied with the cleanliness and condition of the sheets and towels. The sheets were old, and uncomfortable and the towels were musty smelling. Additionally, our one chalet had termites in the thatch and the thatch was leaking. The staff were very accommodating and professional. We appreciated their attention to our special requests.

Can do better in informing guests on hostel cleaning. Our room Taita Falcon was not cleaned on the 26th of December 2012. We wondered whether we were supposed to clean our room or if we were supposed to leave the room keys with the wardens for cleaning
