Nice grounds and good that they offer free airport pick-up and a drop-off to the falls. Room, bathroom and kitchen were covered in mosquitos and the mosquito net on the bed didn’t stop them getting in. The top bunk is pretty dangerous, be careful not to slip or catch your foot in the mosquito net if climbing down. No lockers in the room and other guests left used plates and cups over the floor.

Thank you for your feedback. I see we have not responded, but just wanted to say we appreciate your feedback. Unfortunately, Livingstone has had a huge mosquito issue, the joys of living in the Tropics....so this problem is not unique to Fawlty Towers. Fawlty Towers takes regular measure to manage the mosquito problem within our facilities but to be honest, it's not long before more mosquitoes fly in from elsewhere. We do our best by providing our guests with mosquito nets but we do recommend guests apply mosquito repellent and cover up at dawn and dusk and take malaria preventative medication. Saying that, malaria is not an enormous problem in Livingstone, but it's still wise to take precaution. As far as used cups and plates on the floor, as you were in a dormitory, we cannot control the behaviour of the other guests you were sharing with and we would hope you were able to request they be respectful of the other people they were sharing with. Our housekeepers do go into the dorms once a day, but cannot be on standby all day to clear up after messy guests in dormitories. Thank you for the feedback on lockers. We have recently procured new lockers. Thanks again for the feedback.

Very nice hostel. Very clean and air conditioning in the room was great. Mosquito nets were a nice addition and the shower was amazing. Area around the pool was lovely and breakfast in the morning was good at 3 dollars. Would stay here again.
