Great hostel in Livingstone where you can meet people and socialize.
The pool area is great to spend a relaxing day while tanning.
Facilities are great and clean but the kitchen could be improved and isolate better the cabanas and room to avoid mosquitoes to go in

Some hostels feel like a businessa nd some feel like a second home, this one very much feels like a business. $20 for a dorm bed is far too much considering how much money they must make on tours and the bar. That being said it is a nice hostel with a good atmosphere in a central location.
