Nice place to stay. It was on the outskirts of the town of Victoria Falls, but it was still nice and relaxing. I felt safe, and our room was cozy.

Mike the guy looking after the place is very helpful and friendly. It is pretty far from town,walking will take at least 20 mins. Fairly basic but fine generally.

I enjoyed my stay at Vic Falls Backpackers. I didn't find the location to be inconvenient even though it isn't right in town. Taxis were not too expensive and it is less than 15 minutes to walk. Alex and the staff were friendly and helpful when it came to planning activities. I stayed in an en suite chalet and it was comfortable - the only warning is that there are not screens for all the open areas so there were insects here and there - a mosquito net is provided.

Under new management, who are very attentive to guests. Helped make arrangements for rafting, and were very courteous and helpful.

We stayed there for couple of days. It's a cozy place but a little far away from vic falls town. The beds are quite small. Are you over 180 cm the bed is way to small. Our double room was very small to. But the staff was great. Especially the night guy dude. If you are looking for a place outside the town this is the place
